Dr Norman W. Walker is recognized throughout the world as one of the most authoritative students of life, health and nutrition. For almost 70 years, Dr Walker has researched man’s ability to live a longer, healthier life. He was his own example of achieving vibrant health through proper thought, diet and body care. Dr Walker, who lived to the age of 118 years, found his secret to a long, healthy and productive life through the use of living juice, living foods, pure water and colonic irrigation therapy.

The kind and quality of the food you put into your body is of vital importance to every phase of your existence. Good nutrition not only regenerates and rebuilds the cells and tissues which constitute your physical body, but is also involved in the processes by which the waste matter; the undigested food is eliminated from your body to prevent corruption in the form of fermentation and putrefaction. This corruption, if retained and allowed to accumulate in the body, prevents any possibility of attaining any degree of vibrant health.

The aim of Colonic Irrigation is to remove all the unwanted matter from the colon. Colon Irrigation flushes the toxins out, and through the release of impacted faecal matter, a healthier environment can be created for the good bacteria (intestinal flora).  The unwanted matter sticks to the bowel walls creating a source of toxicity; a breeding ground for pathogens and a welcoming home for parasites.  Few of us realize that failure to effectively eliminate waste products from the body causes so much fermentation and putrefaction in the colon that the neglected accumulation of such waste can and frequently does result in toxic overload. So by eliminating this source of toxicity you are helping to remove the number one source of disease within the body.

Few people are aware that the toxins in the colon can pollute the brain and nervous system causing depression, irritability, tiredness and a loss of motivation as well as affecting the digestive system causing distress, bloating and the inability to digest and assimilate the nutrients from food. 

Even fewer are aware that toxins present in an unhealthy colon cause dysfunctions which in turn can be responsible for innumerous body imbalances and might lead to serious health problems.

A major trigger for this process is the combination of little physical exercise with over-consumption of the typical western modern-day diet, consisting of high-fat, low-fiber, refined junk foods including flour, meat, fat, sugar, alcohol, preservatives and agricultural toxins.

As a consequence the colon becomes the repository of accumulated plaque and numerous unhealthy toxins which end up re-entering the blood stream and get deposited in the body's cell instead of being eliminated in a timely way. As a result we feel and act far below our potential.

Often signs of a colon dysfunction are so much part of our everyday lives that we do not even suspect that our health is at stake! What only very few people know is that many of our 'normal states' in fact strongly indicate that we may need to cleanse our body's elimination system to regain optimum health and vitality.

How does colon hydrotherapy work?

The colonics are always performed with constant professional and personal care, with gentle, but stimulating abdominal massage throughout the session to help with the removal of wastes.

Colon Hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of water into the colon via the rectum. No chemicals or drugs are involved and the entire therapy is safe, relaxing and effective. Few people know that a healthy colon conserves water in the body and synthesizes valuable nutrients such as vitamins K and portions of the B complex.

Colon Hydrotherapy helps to eliminate faecal matter which may have been lodged in the colon for weeks, months, or even years. It also helps to keep you properly hydrated. Just one colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having 20 or 30 regular bowel movements. Eliminations during subsequent therapy sessions can be even more substantial as older, hardened, impacted feces are dislodged from the colon walls.

Benefits of colonic hydrotherapy

Besides strengthening peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity in the colon to eliminate toxic waste and promoting normal and regular bowel movements, the following are the main and most important benefits of colon hydrotherapy:

• renewed energy & vitality
• healthy & natural weight loss
• health maintenance
• maximises fitness routines
• helps the body detoxify
• reduces the effects of ageing
• healthier, clearer complexion
• relief from bloating & constipation

Cleanses
Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Fecal debris built up over a long period is gently removed over a series of irrigations. Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can again begin its normal elimination function. A colon hydrotherapy session may be considered a rejuvenation treatment for your body.

Exercises
The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its function. Gentle filling and emptying of the colon can improve peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity, which aids efficient removal of waste material.

Reshapes
Over time, the natural shape of a problematic colon will become distorted causing even more problems. The gentle water action and acupressure techniques of the therapist will help eliminate protruding pockets of waste and narrow, spastic constrictions. After a series of colon hydrotherapies, the colon gradually begins to resume its natural shape.

Stimulation of Reflex Points
Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colon hydrotherapy session stimulates these reflex points, thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way, similar to reflexology.
