The health of the body depends on the health of the intestine.. This is one of the premises of biological medicine.

The proper functioning of the system for eliminating toxins and wastes from our body has a direct impact on the health of our body. If our "cleansing service" is not working properly, diseases are the consequence.

The colon hydrotherapy techniqueThe use of the water therapy, whose use has been mentioned since ancient times (the Egyptians used it as early as 1500 BC for the treatment of various diseases), can be defined as the irrigation of the intestine with filtered and ionised water at a controlled temperature. With a two-way tube the water enters on one side and on the other side it exits with the debris that is retained in the intestine.

In addition to the Egyptians, the founding fathers of Western medicine, Hippocrates, Galen and Paracelsus, prescribed the use of enemas for colon cleansing. And many Amazonian tribes administered river water to cleanse the bowel. In the early 20th century, the popularity of the treatment skyrocketed in Europe and the US.

The American surgeon John H. Kellogg (1852-1943) already stated that 90% of the diseases of civilisation have their origin in the disturbance of the colon.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg is one of the forerunners of the use of colon hydrotherapy to cure diseases.. According to him, diseases could be cured by cleansing the intestines and modifying the intestinal flora. In his Battle Creek sanatorium, he used a machine to irrigate his patients with water. Half of the water was applied rectally. The water was followed by yoghurt, which renewed the intestinal flora. An advocate of the benefits of physical exercise and a vegetarian diet based on laxatives, fibre and protein, he maintained that the alteration of the intestinal flora was accelerated by enemas, which cleanse the lower part of the large intestine, and he was against surgery to cure diseases, whether intestinal or otherwise. His patients included John D. Rockefeller and Thomas Edison, among many other famous people. He is also the inventor of the breakfast cereal, Corn Flakes.

Alexis Carrel, more than 50 years ago, also carried out a decisive experiment that concluded that a prerequisite for living is the elimination of toxins.. He cultured chicken heart embryonic cells in a solution containing the nutrients necessary for their life, and when the assistant forgot to renew the solution daily to remove toxins, the cells perished, leading Carrel to say that the cell is immortal and that it is the liquid in which it bathes that degenerates. If we renew this liquid on a regular basis and provide the cell with the means to cleanse itself, the pulse of life can be prolonged indefinitely.

Lane, an English surgeon specialising in abdominal surgery, has witnessed numerous cases of healing of chronic diseases, locomotor or otherwise, following colon surgery.

At Biosalud we have extensive experience in the use of colon and colon hydrotherapy. We often see how a major bowel cleansing can resolve a totally immobilised shoulder with severe pain or the symptoms of a herniated disc disappear, for example. Any colic disturbance hinders the efficient elimination of toxins and is responsible for multiple diseases.

According to the American naturopath Irons, there are four cardinal signs of chronic poisoning of intestinal origin:

• Morning fatigue
• Premature skin ageing
• Loss of libido or sexual desire
• Fertility decline.

When we have these symptoms, we would do well to pay attention and take appropriate action as soon as possible.

The first modern colon hydrotherapy machine was invented about 100 years ago. Today, colon hygienists or colon hydrotherapists perform colon irrigations. Colon irrigations work a bit like an enema. But they involve much more water and none of the pain or discomfort. The bowel lavage or enema is like the tooth brushing we do at home every day, and the colon hydrotherapy is like the dental cleaning we get at the dentist.

Today's machines have advanced, like everything else, in a spectacular way. At Biosalud, we use equipment with electronic and digital control, monitoring at all times the temperature, the water pressure, the volume that enters and leaves, and of course all the material is disposable.

Immediate benefits with hydrotherapy

Colon cleansing enables the proper functioning of the mechanical processes of fat breakdown, supports digestion by toning up the body's secretions, aids better breakdown of food by supporting the intestines, stomach, pancreas, liver and others, and actively supports the supply of nutrients.

Colon cleansing promotes better bowel movement. There is a better absorption of nutrients, which are processed correctly in the digestive system. We will get rid of hormones, cholesterol, toxins and bacterial debris.

Anyone suffering from gas, bloating, painful cramps, acne and other skin conditions, arthritis and a long list of bowel complaints, such as irritable bowel, can benefit from colon hydrotherapy.. In particular, it is recommended for treatments complementary to oncological therapy; when a biological therapy allows the body to rupture a cancerous mass, it is essential that a rapid and effective elimination of the resulting toxins is achieved.

Colon and bowel cancer, which cause many deaths, can be prevented with effective hygiene procedures. The removal of large amounts of toxic matter frees patients and can lead to the reduction of symptoms such as arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, candidiasis and a range of other diseases. Properly executed, colonic irrigation can help restore normal peristaltic action in a sluggish bowel. In addition, the removal of the layer of faecal matter that lines the intestines in many individuals allows for better assimilation of nutrients from food.

In summary, we can say that the most important benefits of colon hydrotherapy are the following:

• the evacuation of faecal debris and toxins retained for a long period of time
• stimulation of the defensive system
• normalisation of intestinal permeability
• helping to rebalance the intestinal flora
• improving intestinal motility, among many others.

Colon hydrotherapy, a benchmark technique at Biosalud

We have been practising colon hydrotherapy for a long time, as we consider it a very useful technique as a complement to any treatment within biological medicine.

Since one of the preliminary stages of any treatment, especially in chronic conditions, is detoxification of the body, it is vital to empty the colon to prevent further absorption of toxins and to begin to restore the intestinal flora.

Before treatment, we make sure that the patient's problem cannot be solved with other treatments and we determine the schedule and number of sessions. In addition, the patient may also be referred by another doctor who assumes responsibility for the indication.

Despite the fact that some people come to the clinic with some misgivings, colon hydrotherapy is by no means a complicated technique, as long as it is done under medical supervision. We use it for many pathologies, especially chronic ones. We use it for many pathologies, especially chronic ones. It is also essential in the treatment of chronic intestinal candidiasis. It is one of the most appropriate techniques for the maintenance of health.

The session lasts approximately one hour. A glycerine suppository is used the night before, especially during the first sessions. It is also sometimes advisable to eat a diet rich in vegetables for the following days, reducing meat and fish proteins. After each session, you will feel a sense of wellbeing and inner "cleansing". The minimum starting guideline is 3 sessions, and it is advisable to do up to 10, and even one cycle in autumn and another in spring, together with a liver cure.
