FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A colonic is not painful. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are especially pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter and initially cleaner afterward. Sometimes during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract suddenly expelling considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum. This may feel like cramping or gas, and may create a feeling of urgency to empty the rectum. Such episodes, if they do occur, are brief and easily tolerated.

No, you will maintain your personal dignity at all times. You will be in a private room. You will be instructed how to insert a thin disposable rectal tube by yourself, and you will be completely covered. It is also an odourless procedure.

The over the counter products are not substitutes for colonies. Enemas are useful for emptying the rectum (the lower part of the colon). Suppositories are intended to do the same thing. Laxatives, particularly herbal laxatives, are intended to undo the effects of temporary constipation. But the most successful method to cleanse your colon is colonic irrigation.

Waste material that remains in the colon can lead to severe health-related problems. First, the waste material becomes toxic and can re-enter the body by circulating in the blood stream. Secondly, the impacted waste material impairs the colon's ability to absorb and assimilate minerals, nutrients and good bacteria from our food and vitamins. Last but not least, a build-up of toxic waste material in the colon wall leads to sluggish bowel movements and constipation.

Your skin actually 'breathes' and is an important organ for elimination of waste material. Sometimes, if the colon, liver or kidneys are functioning poorly, the skin will be required to make up the difference. Surface eruptions on the skin may occur when toxins are released. Cleansing and healing the colon diminishes the burden placed upon the skin the other elimination organs. When elimination is accomplished through proper channels, the skin will very often clear up.

It takes 45 minutes. Once the water enters the large intestine, you will feel frequently the need to eliminate.

It is recommended not to eat solid food for about 2 hours prior to the colonic irrigation. Fluids intake unlimited. Also recommended not to eat read meat on the day of the colonic irrigation.

Most likely, you will feel great. Probably you will feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. Not infrequently, someone having their first colonic irrigation, will remark that it is was one of the most wonderful experiences of their life. As soon as the colonic irrigation is finished you can carry on with daily routine. For some, the colonic irrigation may trigger several subsequent bowel movements for the next few hours, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency or discomfort. It is also possible you may feel light-headed or chilled for a few moments following a colonic irrigation.
