Brenda Watson, CNC writes: “Many patients have been able to overcome chronic constipation problems through colon hydrotherapy. Unlike chemical laxatives, which encourage dependency, colon hydrotherapy actually helps to tone the bowels so it resumes normal function. Hydrotherapy sessions can be used to “re-educate” the bowel to function normally.”

Donna Gates, M.Ed., ABAAHP, Body Ecologist states:

“New research is showing that colon therapy is a win-win for doctors AND patients. With colon therapy, doctors are getting better colonoscopy results and patients have a MUCH easier colonoscopy preparation.

Why Cleanse Your Colon? 

Besides colonoscopy preparation, there are other reasons to cleanse your colon with colon therapy as well.  Colon therapy is great if you:

• Experience constipation; A healthy colon will eliminate once per day, constipation is going days without a bowel movement.
• Want to improve your colon health
• Want an easier colonoscopy preparation
• Need to detox
• Want to support your digestive health

“Colon hydrotherapy is most effective when used in combination with optimum nutrition, fluid intake, and positive thinking.”

Dr. Russell Kolbo 

James A. Wiltsie, M.D. offers,

“Our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the colon and its pathology and management has not kept pace with that of many organ systems of the body.  As long as we continue to assume the colon will take care of itself, it’s just that long that we will remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill health in the whole body”.

Morton Walker, DPM.  Value of Colon Hydrotherapy Verified by Medical Professionals Prescribing It, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, August 2000

Dr. Leonard Smith states:     

“Moreover, seriously ill patients tend to be chronically constipated which results in generalized toxemia. It turns out that colon hydrotherapy is the gentlest and most effective treatment to take care of a sick person’s constipation problem. My recommendation for cancer patients is that they should undergo frequent colon hydrotherapy procedures to make sure a colon’s toxic burden is being kept at a minimum while their bodies are trying to heal,” affirms Dr. Smith. “While not a substitute for eating a high fiber diet, those cancer patients who take colon hydrotherapy often experience the elimination of their aches and pains, improvement of appetite, and they tolerate a tough healing process better.

“I also believe that normally healthy people will find it valuable to take colon hydrotherapy every couple of months in order to experience how well one feels when the colon is truly empty. It’s a fact that most people fail to fully evacuate the colon, something they don’t realize. People undergoing colon hydrotherapy on a prevention basis, become quite surprised at how much waste is removed by the procedure.”

Dr. Paul Flashner states:

“Colon hydrotherapy is the perfect specific procedure to eliminate constipation and restore normal bowel function.”

Dr. Michael Gerber:

“ How the equipment works so effectively is nothing short of astounding. Registered with the FDA, current colon hydrotherapy equipment is safe. It contains temperature controlled water mixing and back flow prevention valves, plus pressure and temperature sensors, and built-in chemical sanitizing units. Water purification units frequently are installed as well. Disposable single-use rectal tubes, and/or speculae are employed routinely for sterility.  Undergoing a session of colon hydrotherapy has you experiencing comfort and cleansing with no toxicity. Techniques utilized allow a small amount of water to flow into the colon gently stimulating the colon’s natural peristaltic action to release softened waste.” 

Emil S. Sayegh, MD, states:

“Colon hydrotherapy given to involved men at two-week intervals for three times to start and then maintained every four weeks for an unlimited period does solve prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. From my files, I can offer up several hundred case studies which testify to that fact.”

Douglas Brodie, MD. Oncologist, Homeopath: 

“I have found over the years that cancer patients who are not doing well usually are toxic and not being cleansed.  They certainly are in need of colon hydrotherapy. Colon hydrotherapy is the best cleansing and detoxifier for the gastrointestinal tract that anybody would want. I do promote its use.”

Dr. Pamela Whitney advises that her healing program for almost any condition frequently involves prescribing colon hydrotherapy.

“I almost always refer my patient to undertake colon cleansing as the first part of my treatment. I do this for purposes of detoxification, since most people possess toxic bowels which may result in either constipation or diarrhea both coming from the same sources of toxicity,” she says. “The patients’ toxins tend to kick back to their blood streams to perpetuate numerous pathologies such as candidiasis, allergies, chronic fatigue, and other symptoms coming from a recirculation of accumulated physiological poisons.
