The ninth wave of the Mayan calendar is coming to a close. To celebrate, “Do As One” is teaming up with the “Tree of Life Celebration” in order to unite people across the globe to breathe together synchronously on their website, www.doasone.com.

Do As One is promoting unity consciousness, or M.A.S.S. Consciousness – Multiple Awareness Simultaneous Consciousness. The non-profit group is trying to spread the long-standing idea that we are all one, and that unified breathing throughout the world can have a major impact on humanity. Do As One uses quantum physics to support their idea, stating that, “quantum physics continues to prove that we are all connected on a grid that we cannot even see”. The magic of the connection can be felt through unified deep breathing.

At Transformational Health Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we promote deep breathing as part of an overall wellness plan. Combined with colon hydrotherapy in Los Angeles, we believe that deep breathing should be part of every wellness therapy. That’s why we’ll be joining doasone.com today in their Universal Breathing Room.

The 13 Intentions

The group has universal deep breathing rooms open to the public to support the 13 Grand Intentions, which include unconditional love, nourishment, peace, health, oneness, harmony, compassion, joy, beauty, conscious breathing, abundance, gratitude and forgiveness. The intentions utilize the power of the M.A.S.S to boost energy within each intention throughout the world.

Their Vision

Do As One aims to have one billion people breathe together synchronously by November 11, 2012. But today they simply want to bring people throughout the world together to breathe simultaneously and promote health and oneness.

How it works

When you visit the site you’ll be able to join the “Universal Breathing Room” or various other rooms. Once you begin, you’ll be deep breathing in real time with people across the globe at a pace of five breaths per minute. The celebration not only promotes world-wide unity, but it also places an emphasis on health. Deep breathing helps to oxygenate the body, heighten awareness and increase overall wellness.

Joins us today on www.doasone.com to celebrate unity consciousness and overall wellness.

Popularized by Max Gerson of the Gerson Institute, coffee enemas have been used to treat obesity, constipation and tuberculosis. But this type of enema has received more attention for its usage of curing cancer. According to Max Gerson, the coffee enema has a positive influence on the gasto-intestinal tract, removing toxins and bile in the liver more effectively than a regular enema.

How it works

During a session, coffee is inserted into the anus in order to cleanse the rectum, intestines and liver. Caffeine is absorbed into the system, which cleans out the liver while also promoting the production of bile. The bile then moves out of the liver towards the small intestine, cleaning out the intestinal tract.

Coffee enemas and colon hydrotherapy are often paired together as part of a personalized detox package for optimum health benefits. Combined, they completely cleanse the system of toxins that may cause illnesses.

Why get a coffee enema?

In combination with colonics, coffee enemas provide numerous benefits to the body. A major contributor to illness is often a buildup and absorption of toxins through the intestines. Some foods – especially processed foods– don’t digest properly within the digestive system. Those undigested foods then start to rot and produce harmful chemicals, which can be absorbed into the liver.

With a coffee enema, toxins are removed from the liver and intestinal tract by improving bile flow, therefore relieving the body of harmful bacteria and substances.

After a coffee enema you’ll have more energy and should notice an improvement in any illnesses. We recommend combining coffee enemas with colon hydrotherapy on a regular basis at our Spas in Los Angeles for overall health.

Contact us today for a consultation regarding coffee enemas, colon hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage massage, ear candling, raindrop therapy or spa packages.

Only receive a coffee enema from a qualified professional.

If you’re suffering from depression, it may have more to do with what you’re eating than anything else.

Studies have recently been pointing to a connection between inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract and depression. The studies indicate that chronic inflammation within the gut can lead to depression, and that treating inflammation within the gut can improve depression and other related diseases.

It’s been noticed that depression is often a symptom of autoimmune diseases and other illnesses that have to do with chronic inflammation. Since the gut is directly connected to the brain in very intricate ways, it’s very possible that inflammation within the gut has a direct effect on mood.

The gut to brain connection

Literally referred to as the second brain, the gut has larger amounts of serotonin – a neurotransmitter associated with mood – than the brain. Due to its large amount of serotonin – and because the gut reports directly to the brain – the gut is able to influence mood.

The bacteria in your gut are alive, active and highly dependent on the foods you put into your body for survival. When the bacteria – or microflora – of the gut are healthy, your body is more likely to be healthy. However, good bacteria are easily compromised by processed foods and sweeteners – eating these types of foods can cause inflammation. Since the gut is connected directly to the brain, chronic inflammation throughout the digestive tract can cause mood disorders and several other ailments.

Treating depression and inflammation

By treating chronic inflammation though diet and colonics, it’s possible to eradicate depression and other illnesses.

First and foremost, we recommend colon hydrotherapy for the overall well-being of your digestive tract. Colonics can clear the colon of harmful waste and bacteria that promote disease within the body. Cleansing is an important step in the detox process, clearing the way for the microflora of your gut to grow healthy. Along with diet changes, we recommend regular colon hydrotherapy for optimum health.

We also advise eliminating or greatly reducing sugar intake. Sugar triggers a number of chemical reactions throughout the body, which in turn can create chronic inflammation. It can also disturb the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can easily alter mood.

Additional changes in diet along with reducing sugar intake should also be implemented along with colon cleansing. Eating traditionally-made and unpasteurized fermented foods such as kefir or lassi can help optimize the bacteria in your gut. Probiotic supplements can also help restore the microflora in the digestive tract.

Vitamin D and animal-based omega-3 fats are also vital for reducing inflammation and promoting a healthy mood. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have a positive influence on those struggling with depression, and vitamin D is vital for controlling the inflammatory response, regulating mood and for immune system function.

If you’re struggling with depression, schedule your personalized detox program today. We’ll set up a regimen of colonics and other therapies to promote overall well-being.

Otherwise known as colon hydrotherapy or colonic irrigation, a colonic is performed by gently instilling water into the colon in order to cleanse the colon and rid the body of toxins. Harmful substances can build up in the colon over time and leak into the body. This can cause all sorts of conditions and symptoms, some of which include headaches, constipation, skin problems, bloating, allergies and cognitive impairment.  Qualified colon hydrotherapist at our spas in Los Angeles can cleanse the body of harmful wastes and reduce or eliminate ailments.

History

Despite the common notion that colonic hydrotherapy is a new practice, the concept dates back to the ancient Egyptians. But colonic irrigation really started to become popular in the U.S. in the early 1900s when John Harvey Kellogg, M.D., – the founder of Kellogg cereal – started to become a major advocate of the practice. The doctor recommended colonics for a variety of conditions and believed them to be beneficial for overall health.

Reasons for a colonic

A buildup of fecal matter within the colon can prevent the absorption of water and other vital nutrients. It can also cause harmful bacteria to grow, which in turn can cause disease. Colonic irrigation can help remove waste, prevent or eliminate constipation and promote overall well-being.

A typical session

Many of our first-time clients ask, “What is a colonic?” and “What is a typical session like?” For your first session, you’ll fill out a full health history form. This ensures that we are providing the right treatment for your specific body. We’ll then ask you to change into a gown and lie face up on one of our comfortable treatment tables. A qualified colon hydrotherapist will insert a speculum into the rectum, and warm filtered water will start to flow into the colon. Fecal matter is filtered out through a hose into a waste system. During treatment the therapist will lightly massage the abdomen to aid in the treatment. A typical session lasts from 45 minutes to an hour.

Both of our spas in Los Angeles maintain a relaxing atmosphere for your session. We have a spa in Racho Palos Verdes and one in Santa Monica. If you’ve asked yourself, “What is a colonic?”, we’re here to help answer that question. Call us today to schedule your colonic irrigation session.

Are you looking to lose some weight? Combining an organic diet with colon hydrotherapy can help shed some pounds. It can also help with the overall health of your body.

Colon hydrotherapy is performed by a qualified colonic hygienist by pumping a gentle stream of water throughout your abdomen. While water is flowing through your colon, the therapist will massage your stomach to help remove any toxins.

Toxins can cause a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, weight gain, low energy and headache. Cleansing the colon can  not only rid the body of symptoms, but it can revitalize the body so that all functions perform optimally.

Colon hydrotherapy benefits

The colon plays a vital role in the overall function of the body. Wastes within the colon can build up in the colon, decay and absorb into the bloodstream, which can be tremendously harmful to the central nervous system. Cleansing can help improve mental outlook, boost the immune system, reduce risk of colon cancer and help you to lose weight.

Organic guide

Eating organic foods along with colon hydrotherapy can stimulate weight loss to a great degree. Of course, eating organically can be difficult at first. Here’s a quick guide to help you ease into eating organic:

Avoid: Soda, caffeine, alcohol, white sugar, table salt, processed foods, soy, pasteurized dairy products, hydrogenated oils, vegetable oils and GMO’s.

Consume: Organic herbal teas, EFA oils, Nama Shoyu, organic apple cider vinegar, organic herbs and spices.

Focus on: Organic whole, unprocessed foods.

Balance: 20 percent acids and 80 percent alkaline

Many of our clients ask us about lymphatic drainage massage. They want to know how it works and why it’s important for an overall body cleanse. First let’s take a slight dip into the world of the lymphatic system and it’s importance to the function of the body.

The lymph system is a vital component of the immune system. It consists of a large network of lymphatic vessels that carry lymph throughout the body to the heart. Lymph is part of the interstitial fluid – a solution within the body that bathes and surrounds cells – which is similar to blood plasma but carries white blood cells. The lymphatic system is vital for removing interstitial fluid from tissues, absorbing fatty acids, transporting white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes to the bones and for transporting antigen-presenting cells to the lymph nodes to stimulate an immune response. Basically, the lymph cleanses the body’s tissues and supports the immune system.

Since the lymph system is so close to the tissues of the body, it’s the main way that cancerous cells spread. The lymph vessels also collect a large amount of dead cells, bacteria, inorganic substances, waste products and other toxins, which may account for some illness. That’s why we believe it’s vital to provide your body with lymphatic drainage massage on a regular basis.

Our method

We provide a very relaxing environment for your lymph massage in Santa Monica or Palos Verdes. We use a gentle, repetitive and rhythmic touch along with circular pumping and tiny vibrations to liquefy any congestion. By stimulating the lymphatic system, we are able to increase the flow of lymph and push out toxins that have gathered within the system.

Our trained specialists will guide you through a relaxing session at either of our spas in Los Angeles.

Complete body cleanse

Since the lymphatic system is vital to the overall health of the body, lymphatic drainage massage can improve function the system and stave off disease. We suggest that you receive a lymph massage at least two to three times per week, especially if you’re feeling an imbalance. In combination with colon hydrotherapy, lymph massage can be significantly beneficial.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re consuming and inhaling heavy metals on a daily basis. These heavy metals such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, lead and mercury build up within the body and become extremely toxic. In small amounts, some of these metals are necessary for life, but in large amounts they can interfere with the metabolic process. Heavy metals have been thought to cause autism, heart disease and even cancer. That’s why it’s vital to detox the colon of heavy metals through the use of chelating agent such as Detoxamin and through scheduling a colonic in Los Angeles or your area of California.

Symptoms of Heavy Metal Poisoning

Some common symptoms of heavy metal poisoning include:

  • Chronic malaise
  • Consistent muscle and tendon pain
  • Consistent infections
  • Dizziness
  • Mood swings
  • Nervous system illness
  • Confusion

Often, heavy metal poisoning can produce vague symptoms that can be mistaken for other serious illnesses. It’s important to rid your body of these poisons for overall health and function of the body.

Treatments

As a method of ETDA chelation therapy, Detoxamin can help get rid of heavy metals that have built up within the body. It is administered as a suppository and is a proven alternative method to intravenous chelation therapy.

Regular colonics in the Los Angeles area or in your area of California can help to rid your body of heavy metals and other toxins as well.

Antacids can be helpful for short-term and acute acid reflux symptoms, but is it good for long-term use? According to the Mayo Clinic, antacids are meant to be used for only short periods up to two weeks. Long-term use of antacids can cause health problems and have adverse side effects. That’s why many people with acid reflux are looking to simple lifestyle changes and colon hydrotherapy to cure their ill.

What is acid reflux?

Acid reflux, or heartburn, is stomach acid that is flowing back up into the esophagus. Symptoms include feeling a burning sensation in your chest or tasting food or liquid in the back of your throat. Most people have occasional heartburn, and it isn’t a major cause for concern. But those with consistent symptoms might have a more serious problem.

How do antacids work?

Antacids work by neutralizing the acid within the stomach. There are three different kind of antacid: magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and aluminum hydroxide. All of these can cause short-term and long-term side effects.

Some long-term side effects include:

  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Kidney damage
  • Milk-alkali syndrome
  • Weak bones
  • Nervousness
  • Nausea or vomiting

Alternative medicine

Instead of relying on antacids to neutralize your stomach acid, simple lifestyle changes and regular colon hydrotherapy can often prevent and get rid of heartburn. Exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can greatly reduce heartburn – extra pounds put pressure on your stomach and push acid into your esophagus. Try to lose one or two pounds per week to slowly work your way down to a healthy weight. You can also eat smaller meals, avoid tight clothing and elevate your head during sleep.

Colon Hydrotherapy and acid reflux

Our spas in the Los Angeles area offer colonics along with personal detox programs to help you get rid of your acid reflux troubles.  Colon hydrotherapy completely cleans out the digestive tract, getting rid of toxins, parasites, mucus and other poisons that could be contributing to the problem. In addition to helping with heartburn, it also contributes to the overall health of the body.

Contact us today with any questions or concerns, and to schedule your appointment for colonics.

 



The colon is one of the most important organs in the body, participating in waste management and extracting water and salt before it is discarded. It is also the spot where fermentation of unabsorbed materials mainly occurs. The balance of bacteria is vital for function in the colon, and an unhealthy colon can lead to disease and other conditions. Since toxins and waste can easily build up within the colon, it’s vital to cleanse the colon from time to time.

More than just a colonic

Colon hydrotherapy benefits extend further than just a cleansing of the organ. In fact, the overall health of our colon plays a major role on the other organs in our body. Often, the length of the colon can become compacted with hardened fecal matter, which narrows the channel for feces to pass through. This can cause a variety of conditions:

  • Depression
  • Weakness
  • Irritability
  • Lethargy
  • Halitosis
  • Unhealthy skin
  • Pain
  • Headaches
  • Low/High blood pressure
  • Poor Circulation

 

The process

Colon hydrotherapy, when performed by a certified colon hydrotherapist, is a relaxing and safe procedure. Water is filtered through the intestine while your abdominal area is simultaneously massaged. This softens the old fecal matter and releases other toxins within the body. After the session, your colon starts to repair itself and go back to its normal function. Cleansing will remove toxins and promote healthy intestinal bacteria.

The main benefits

There are several colon hydrotherapy benefits that you’ll experience after your session. You may have a sense of overall well-being, relief of anxiety and improved circulation. You may also experience relief from asthma, allergies and arthritis. Because it promotes the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria, you should feel a boost of energy as well. Colon cleansing has also been used as treatment for cancer and other conditions.

With more and more pesticides being used to grow food, buying organic is becoming increasingly more important for our health. Steroids and growth hormones are used in farm animals that we consume on a daily basis. But animal products aren’t the only ones affected; vegetables and fruits are getting a full on assault of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers in order for farmers to grow a larger crop. Chemicals in our foods affect our bodies in ways we can’t even begin to understand. Now the health community is finally catching on and advising consumers to start eating organic.

Free of hormones

Hormones fed to animals can directly affect us. Along with the meat we consume, we also consume anything that the animal has been exposed to. That means that we are indirectly consuming the hormones. This can affect the natural balance of our bodies. Organic meat is hormone free.

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we advise our patients to eat organic when possible, and to cleanse the body with regular colonics to get rid of harmful chemicals.

No pesticides or herbicides

It’s no secret that a majority of food is currently grown with pesticides and herbicides to maximize the output of crop. These poisons, used to kill off bugs and weeds, can greatly damage our bodies. Often, the chemicals are still on the food when they enter the home. Organic foods are grown without the presence of chemicals, providing all the nutrition without the damaging effects of the pesticides or herbicides.

More antioxidants

Antioxidants are vital for clearing the body of free radicals, which may contribute to cancer and other diseases. Organic foods generally have a higher level of antioxidants because they are fresher to the market. Fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants. Some examples of foods containing high amounts of these free radical fighters include asparagus, beets, mangoes, peaches, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, berries, kale, strawberries, broccoli, nuts, papaya and spinach.

Supports the local community

Buying organic foods at your local farmer’s market is not only good for your health; it’s good for the local economy. Many non-corporate farmers struggle to keep up with the booming farming business, and purchasing produce from their market will allow them to keep providing you with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats so you can keep eating organic.

We believe in combining an organic lifestyle with regular colonics to promote overall well-being. Contact us today to create your personal detox program.
