How safe is a colonic? 

Are you hesitant about colon hydrotherapy because you’re unfamiliar with the process?

Colon cleansing is a very safe and effective way to rid the digestive tract of toxins. When used with modern equipment, such as we have at our colonic Los Angeles spas, colon hydrotherapy is safer than an enema. In fact, colon hydrotherapy has more benefits than an enema. Enemas are only able to reach the rectum and lower area of the colon, but a colon cleanse is able to reach throughout the entire colon.

Colon hydrotherapy benefits are numerous and can impact the health of the entire body.

The treatment  

Modern colon hydrotherapy uses pre-sterilized and disposable tools for the procedure to eliminate the possibility of contamination. During the procedure, a speculum is inserted into the rectum while a gentle flow of soothing warm, filtered and sterilized water is instilled into the colon. The natural peristalsis of the body is activated by the water, which moves waste and water out of the body.

Your treatment should feel refreshing and relaxing. The entire session takes about 45 minutes, and afterward you can return to your normal daily activities.

Colon hydrotherapy benefits

The benefits of colonics aren’t limited to the colon; cleansing can have a wide variety of benefits on your overall health. Colon cleansing can restore the balance within your gut, clean out toxins and rid the intestinal tract of hardened fecal matter.

At our colonic Los Angeles spas, we’ve helped a variety of ailments through colon hydrotherapy and other alternative methods. Regular colonics can help with constipation, diarrhea, headaches, skin problems, mental confusion, low energy, bad breath and several other conditions.

In addition to colon cleansing, we offer lymphatic drainage massage, ear candling, raindrop therapy, colonic irrigation plus moxibustion, the Chi Machine and personalized detox programs.

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.

The term probiotics has been floating around the alternative health arena for quite some time now. What are they? Probiotics, to put it simply, are living microorganisms that can be found in the human gut. They are the friendly bacteria that when given in tolerable amounts, can greatly benefit the body. Many have started using probiotics in congruence with colon hydrotherapy to alleviate certain aliments such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, stomach inflammation, periodontal disease and skin infections.

Where are they found?

Probiotics can be found in a variety of food products and dietary supplements. Food that contains probiotics includes milk, yogurt, some juices, soy beverages and miso.

Uses for health

So why is such a big deal for health? These friendly bacteria are crucial to the development of the immune system and are used to protect against bad bacteria in the gut that can cause disease. They also are vital for digestion and the absorption of nutrients within the body. The balance in a person’s gut can play a major role in disease and can be affected by antibiotics and unfriendly bacteria. Therefore, probiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer, to shorten the duration of intestinal infections and to prevent urinary tract infections.

Probiotics and Colon Hydrotherapy

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we believe that taking probiotics along with regular colon hydrotherapy can benefit your health tremendously and provide overall mind and body wellness. Colonics in Santa Monica and Palos Verdes can cleanse your body of harmful toxins and bad bacteria that cause disease. If you want to learn how to incorporate probiotics and other nutritional supplements into your lifestyle, schedule a nutritional counseling session with Jessica Zaccaro.

With the increasing assault of FDA approved medications, many people overlook the array of benefits that alternative medicine holds. Moxibustion is a tradition Chinese medicine that involves the burning of tightly bound herbs to target acupunture points and expedite the body’s natural healing process. In combination with colonic irrigation, it can provide tremendous benefits to the body.

How Moxibustion is used

The purpose of moxibustion is to promote the body’s natural healing process. The herbs are burned at acupuncture points and the heat produced penetrates into the body to restore balance and qi. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes, we use moxibustion in combination with colonic irrigation for a complete total body cleanse.

Types of moxibustion

There are two common types of moxibustion: direct and indirect. Direct moxibustion involves the burning of moxa (tightly wound dried leaves from mugwort and wormwood) directly on the acupuncture points. This method promotes healing but also can produce pain and scarring.

Indirect moxibustion involves burning the tightly wound herbs above the skin or on an acupuncture needle that’s already in place. It can also be done by placing garlic, ginger or salt on the skin and then burning the moxa. This method produces little or no pain and no scarring.

What ailments is it used for?

Moxibustion dates back thousands of years to early northern China. It has been used for digestive problems, ulcers, arthritis, and to increase circulation to the pelvis.

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes we offer colonic irrigation and moxibustion to provide you with a total body benefit. Contact us today for your consultation.

Think about your daily intake: a quick fast food breakfast in the morning, breathing in secondhand smoke on an afternoon walk and taking medicine for a headache when you return home in the evening. Throughout each day, we consume loads of preservatives and pollutants that our bodies are not meant to digest. While exercise and rest can help rid our bodies of some of these unnatural products, many toxins remain in our systems.

With these toxins clogging your digestive tract, you can experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. From constipation to extreme fatigue and depression, an unclean colon can lead to plenty of other personal health problems that make day-to-day living more challenging.

Juice cleansing is a natural way to help our bodies to feel fresher, brighter and better. Because of so many pollutants in your digestive tract, your colon may have trouble releasing all of the harmful material in your body’s system. While some forms of detoxification can be somewhat stressful and challenging on the body, juice cleansing is a painless way to ensure that your body is working well. When paired with a diet change, juice cleansing can also help spur a healthy weight loss.

Juice cleansing diets operate on different schedules. Shorter cleansings require three days of abstaining from food while drinking only juice, and more rigorous cleansings can last an entire month. The mixture helps flush the toxins from your system and breaks down any colon buildup.

While some people worry that juice cleansings can deprive your body of nutrients from food, fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juices provide plenty of vitamins and minerals that keep your immune system strong. You can find recipes for juice cleansing on websites for natural healing practices. All of these recipes will involve fruits, vegetables and water, which help maintain an appropriate level of energy while keeping you hydrated.

After a proper juice cleansing, you can expect to feel a significant energy boost while feeling confident that your digestive system will work more efficiently. Depending on your workplace, stress level and a number of other factors, you may want to consider juice cleansings multiple times each year.

While you may not know it, your body is full of heavy metals right now. Aluminum, mercury, lead and other metallic elements find their way into our bodies via the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe. Dental fillings have been linked to toxic levels of mercury. Small doses of metal can build up to dangerous levels of these elements and have extremely negative effects on our bodies. Some experts have attributed heavy metal buildups to heart disease and cancer.

Fortunately, there are ways to cleanse our bodies and remove these heavy metals from our systems. One of the most successful natural healing methods is chelation.

After heavy metals enter the body, they bind themselves within tissue, making them hard to remove through the body’s natural digestive processes. The detoxification process of chelation involves elements that bind to the heavy metals and help remove them from body tissue.

Chelation formulas use a combination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other elements that promote natural healing. Chelation can be done intravenously and orally with a variety of natural healing foods such as garlic and cilantro. The heavy metals exit the body through urine and feces.

Chelation’s effectiveness has been questioned by the American Heart Association, and other governing medical bodies have concerns about the safety of intravenous chelation. However, chelation’s ability to help cure lead poisoning is well-documented, and many supporters of natural healing believe chelation can help treat autism and heart disease. All medical experts can agree one issue: a buildup of toxic heavy metals in our systems can have detrimental effects on the way our bodies function.

By Dr Stanley Bass, N.D. D.C. Ph.D. If I were asked which is the greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field of nutrition, I would respond, "to properly understand and interpret the symptoms and changes that follow the beginnings of a better nutritional program. (A "healing crisis") Now, what happens when a person follows the rules and makes a decided improvement in the quality of food consumed? Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. The amazing intelligence present in every cell of the body and the wisdom of the body in its operation immediately becomes manifest. The rule may be stated thus: When the quality of food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissue that the body is made of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues and makes room for the superior materials that make new and healthier tissue. What are the symptoms or signs that become evident when we first begin to omit the lower grade food and instead introduce superior foods-those that are more alive, more natural than those we are accustomed to? When the use of toxic stimulants such as coffee, tea, chocolate or cocoa is suddenly stopped, headaches are common, and a letdown (healing crisis) occurs. This is due to the discard by the body, of toxins called caffeine and theobromine, which are removed from the tissues and transported through the blood stream during its many bodily rounds. Before the toxins agents reach their final destination for elimination, these irritants register in our consciousness as pain-in other words, headache. The letdown is due to the slower action of the heart- the resting phase that follows the stimulation of more rapid heart action forced on the body by certain poisons called stimulants. The more rapid heartbeat (or pulse) produces a feeling of exhilaration, and the slower action produces a depressed state of mind. Usually, within three days, the symptoms vanish and we feel stronger due to the recuperation that follows. To a lesser extent, the same process occurs when we abandon lower quality foods and replace them with better foods. Lower quality foods have undergone more preparation. Spices, salt and other ingredients have been added, and they tend to be more stimulating than less prepared and more natural foods. Animal food, such as meat, fowl, fish etc, is more stimulating than cheeses, nuts and vegetable proteins. Consequently the withdrawal of stimulation, which follows the abandonment of animal food produces a slower heart action, a resting phase that registers to the mind as relaxation or a decrease in energy. This initial letdown (healing crisis) lasts about ten days or slightly longer, and is followed by an increase of strength, a feeling of diminishing stress and great well-being. Now, let us return to the symptoms that occur in the process of regeneration. The person who starts a better diet, stays on it for three days to a week and then quits, will say, &##34;Oh, I felt better on the old diet – the new one makes me feel weak". He failed because he did not give his body a chance to adjust and complete its first phase of action, recuperation. If he had waited a while longer, he would have begun to feel better than before he started. During this initial phase (lasting about ten days on the average, to several weeks in others), the vital energies that are usually in the periphery or external parts of the body, such as the muscles and skin, begin to move to the vital internal organs and start reconstruction. This shunting of much of the power to the internal region produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the mind interprets as some weakness. Actually power is increased, but most of it is being used for rebuilding the more important organs, and less of it is available for muscular work. Any weakness that is felt here is not a true weakness, but merely a redeployment of forces to the more important internal parts. Here it is important for the person to stop wasting energy, and rest and sleep more. This is a crucial phase, and if the person resorts to stimulants of any kind, he will abort and defeat the regeneration intent of the body. It is important that he have patience and just wait it out and after awhile he will get an increasing strength that will exceed what he felt before he began the new program. Success in recovery or improvement of health hinges upon the correct understanding of this point . realizing that the body is using its main energies in more important internal work and not wasting it in external work involving muscle movements. Be wise – take it easy and relax. Just coast in your work and social obligations until you are out of the woods. As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the food quality, interesting symptoms begin to appear. The body begins a process called "retracing". The cellular intelligence reasons something like this "Oh! Look at all those fine materials coming in. How wonderful-now we have a chance to get rid of this old garbage and build a beautiful new house. Let us get started immediately. Let us get this excess bile out of the liver and gall bladder and send it to the intestines for elimination. Let us get this sludge moving out of the arteries, veins and capillaries. These smelly, gassy, brain-stupefying masses have been here too long- out with them! These arthritic deposits on the joints need cleaning up. Let us get these irritating food preservatives such as aspirins, sleeping pills and drugs out of the way, along with these other masses of fat that have made life so burdensome for us for so long." During the first phase of the healing crisis (called catabolism), the accent is on elimination or breaking down of tissue. The body begins to clean house – in short, to remove the garbage deposited in all the tissues. Wastes are discarded more rapidly and new tissue is made from the new food. This becomes evident as weight loss. This persists for a while then is followed by the second phase-stabilization. Here the weight remains more or less stable. During this phase, the amount of waste material being discarded daily is equal to the amount of tissue that is being formed and replaced by the newer, more vital food. This occurs after the excess of obstructing material in the tissues has been removed. This stage persists for a while and is then followed by a third phase – a build up period (called anabolism), wherein weight starts to go even though the diet is lower in calories than it was before. At this point, much or more of the interfering wastes have been discarded. Returning to the symptoms that occur on a superior nutritional program – people who have had tendencies in the past to recurring skin rashes or eruptions will frequently tend to eliminate poisons and harmful drugs through the skin with new rashes and eruptions. If they go to a doctor now who is not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he will diagnose it as an allergy. They ask, "How come I am eating better than I ever did before and instead I'm getting worse?" They don't understand that the body is "retracing" The skin is getting more alive and active. It is throwing out more poisons more rapidly. Headaches may occur at the beginning, fever and/or colds may also appear, the skin may break out, there may be a short interval of bowel sluggishness, diarrhea, feeling of tiredness and weakness, disinclination to exercise, nervousness, irritability, negativity, mental depression, frequent urination, etc. However the great majority of people find their reactions tolerable and are encouraged to bear with them. With some, colds that have not appeared for a long time may occur, or even fevers. Understand that these actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Do not try to stop these symptoms by the use of certain drugs. These symptoms are part of a curing process; so don't try to cure a cure. These are NOT deficiency problems or allergic manifestations. The symptoms will vary according to the material being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the elimination, and the amount of energy you have available. The more you rest and sleep when the symptoms are present, the milder they are and the more quickly they are terminated. Be happy you are having symptoms. Realized deeply that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day. You are throwing off more and more wastes that would eventually have brought pain, disease, and following through to their successful termination, avoiding some of the worst diseases that would eventually have developed had you continued your careless eating habits. Do not expect to go on an ascending scale of quality. Do not expect that improving your diet will make you feel better and better each day until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature. And health returns in a series of gradually diminishing cycles. For example, you may start a better diet and for a while you feel much better. After some time, a symptom occurs – you may feel nauseous for a day and have diarrhea with a foul smelling stool. After a day, you feel better that ever before, and all goes fine for a while. Then you suddenly develop a cold, feel chills, and lose your appetite. After about two or three days (assuming you do not take drugs or do anything else about it), you suddenly develop an itch or rash. You still do not take anything special for it. This rash flares up, gets worse, and continues for ten days, and immediately subsides. Immediately after this, you find your hepatitis is gone and your energy has increased more than ever before. The rash became an outlet for the poisons in the liver, which produced the hepatitis. This is how recovery occurs. You recover and go even higher. And so it goes – each reaction milder than the last as the body becomes purer, each becoming shorter in duration and being followed by a longer and longer period of feeling better than ever before, until you reach a level plateau of vibrant health. Let us give ourselves, through our "healing crisis" a chance to experience what it means to be really healthy and fully alive.

INTRODUCTION

If an angel came and gave a formula that would cure almost any disease, it would be against the law to claim its effectiveness. But explaining in simple, scientific terms how we destroy our own bodies and minds and how we may reverse that destruction, leaving out all claims, will hopefully not offend the A.M.A, or F.D.A, will it? Fortunately, we live in a country that guarantees freedom of speech. Anyone is welcome to use a system of healing that has been proven to work, but they won’t profit much monetarily. The health profession makes money on sick people, not well people. If we were to make everyone well with a system that works, we certainly wouldn’t perpetuate our incomes. After all, there would be little use for this book, the “Clean-Me-Out Program” or even the entire health care system. How sincerely do we want to heal?

Evidence clearly states: no matter what the disease, as long as a person has the right mental attitude – in this case, a strong desire to be healthy and the willingness to do whatever is necessary to be cured – he will bring into his world that which he desires; he WILL find health. If only health professionals would espouse this truth, the door would open to making (or letting) it happen. Too often people lose hope because they continue to be treated by those whose healing successes are rare.

FOUR STEPS IN OVERCOMING DISEASE
The first step in overcoming disease is to put a stop to its cause. This always begins with the rearranging of the thoughts and feelings. For the decomposition of the body (or dying) begins with “suicidal” thoughts and feelings – ie feelings of hate, anger, criticism, condemnation, judgment, blame, self-pity, jealousy, resentment and depression. Good health requires not only the control of the emotions, but good thoughts and good feelings. Love, peace, harmony, poise, gratitude and praise expand the life and light in the body, building energy, vitality and happiness.

The second step toward perfect health of the body is to stop eating any foods that do not contain enzymes, life force and nutrients since lifeless “foods” cause mucus toxins and congestion – especially congestion of the intestinal tract. This substance is known as “hardened mucoid fecal matter” and is the cause of over 90% of all disease (with the exception of injuries).

The third step toward overcoming disease is to remove congestion anywhere and everywhere from the body. Some health professionals choose to address the local area of obvious trouble alone. But, as Dr. Bernard Jensen likes to say, “if you step on a cat’s tail, it’s the other end that yells!” There is no single part of the body that is not affected by the whole. So, all congestion and toxins must be removed and it must begin with the removal of the hardened mucoid fecal matter.

The forth step toward lasting health is to then supply the body with the needed elements. But you cannot successfully complete this step until the third step is done, or well on its way.

NATURE’S OWN REMEDY – A LOGICAL PROCESS
Isn’t this sensible? This logical process is Nature’s own remedy, yet it is in large part neglected by health professionals. This explains uncountable failures, for even when there is success in curing on ailment, it is rarely more than a brief time befofe the patient develops another ailment. This is because the symptom alone was treated, not the cause.

One prominent cancer researcher, Dr. Hardin Jones said, “My studies have proved conclusively that untreated cancer victims actually live up to four times longer than treated individuals…Beyond a shadow of a doubt, radical surgery on cancer patients does more harm than good.” Dr. Jones said he advocates less surgery and chemotherapy. According to Edward Griffin, author of World Without Cancer (a fantastic book that I urge you to read), excluding skin cancer, the average cure rate of cancer by medical doctors is 17%. Would you take your car to a mechanic if he claimed a mere 17% cure rate of transmissions? I would suggest it is time to consider other methods.

The medical world claims no cure for cancer and, what’s more, no one else can either. It’s against the law – even for those who know the cure. Therefore, I hereby announce that I do not claim the “Clean-Me-Out Program will cure cancer. Should you find your cancer disappearing when you use this system, I will not accept responsibility. You’ll have to take the credit yourself.

The cure of cancer or any other disease has been known for decades among health experts who understand disease and its cause. But, it is also unlawful for those experts to treat cancer unless they are M.D.’s What a crime against the American people! To think that there are those who can cure cancer who are not legally permitted to do it!!!

I had better be careful here. I had better not say that all cancers can be cured. No disease is curable if it’s gone too far or if the patient’s attitude will not permit healing. But based on the patients I’ve known of who have conquered cancer, heart disease, diabetes and leukemia, based on the numerous books I’ve read and health professionals I’ve talked to, the following is undeniably true: America must look to other healing methods if it wants to return to the healthy nation it once was. There are some shocking governmental statistics to support this statement.

THE FACTS
The U.S. Public Health Service revealed the rate of health deterioration of the American people. Out of 100 participating nations of the world, America was the healthiest in 1900. In 1920, we dropped to the second healthiest nation. During World War II, we went back to number one-that’s when sugar and meat were hard to get and family vegetable gardens were common. In 1978, we dropped to 79th. In 1980, we were 95th ! (I recently heard from a friend in the business of enlightened healing that we have now hit rock bottom-that’s number 100 on the list) Yet we are said to be the wealthiest nation in the world. Who, or What is responsible?

A DEPARTURE FROM NATURE
Since 1900, the basic sensible theories of health care have changed dramatically. The major change was the shift from Nature, or natural healing methods, to drugs. In addition to this shift in health care came the increasing use of preservatives and chemicals taken into our bodies through food, polluted air and synthetic fabrics. This unnatural approach to life has had its detrimental effect on the American people.

In my opinion, as long as our approach to healing (except in rare cases) involves the use of drugs, chemicals, radiation and scapels, we will never be successful. If we sincerely want to bring the American people back to health, or if we personally wish to reclaim our own perfect health, we muct return to God and follow His ways – Nature’s ways – by using herbs and other natural methods that purify and strengthen the body.
