The health of the body depends on the health of the gut. This is one of the premises of biological medicine.
The proper functioning of our body's toxin and waste elimination system has a direct impact on our health. If our "cleaning service" does not work well, illness is the result.
The technique of colon hydrotherapy, whose use has been mentioned since ancient times (the Egyptians used it as early as 1500 BC to treat various diseases), can be defined as the irrigation of the intestine with filtered, ionized water at a controlled temperature. Using a double-ended tube, water enters on one side and exits on the other with the waste 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 tribes in the Amazon administered river water to cleanse the intestines. In the early 20th century, the treatment's popularity skyrocketed in Europe and the US.
American surgeon John H. Kellogg (1852-1943) stated that 90% of diseases of civilization originate from colon disorders.
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg is one of the pioneers 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. At his sanatorium in Battle Creek, he used a machine to irrigate his patients with water. Half of the water was applied rectally. The water was followed by yogurt, which renewed the intestinal flora. An advocate of the benefits of physical exercise and a vegetarian diet based on laxatives, fiber, 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 opposed to surgery to cure diseases, whether intestinal or otherwise. His patients included John D. Rockefeller and Thomas Edison, among many other illustrious figures. He is also the inventor of breakfast cereals, Corn Flakes.
More than 50 years ago, Alexis Carrel also conducted a decisive experiment which led to the conclusion that the elimination of toxins is a prerequisite for life. He cultured embryonic chicken heart cells in a solution that included the nutrients necessary for their life, and when his assistant forgot to renew the solution daily in order to eliminate toxins, the cells died, leading Carrel to say that the cell is immortal and that it is the liquid in which it is bathed that degenerates. If we renew this liquid regularly and provide the cell with the means to cleanse itself, the pulse of life can be prolonged indefinitely.
Lane, an English surgeon specializing in abdominal surgery, has witnessed numerous cases of chronic diseases, whether musculoskeletal or not, being cured after colon surgery.
At Biosalud, we have extensive experience in the use of colon hydrotherapy and we often observe how a thorough intestinal cleansing can resolve a completely immobilized shoulder with severe pain or eliminate the symptoms of a herniated disc, for example. Any colonic disturbance hinders the efficient elimination of toxins and is responsible for multiple diseases.
According to American naturopath Irons, there are four cardinal signs of chronic intestinal intoxication:
When we experience these symptoms, we would do well to pay attention and take the appropriate measures as quickly 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. An intestinal enema is like brushing our teeth at home every day, and colon hydrotherapy is like having our teeth cleaned by the dentist.
Today's machines have advanced dramatically, as has everything else. At Biosalud, we use electronically and digitally controlled equipment, constantly monitoring the temperature, water pressure, and volume entering and leaving the system, and of course, all materials are disposable.
Colon cleansing enables the proper functioning of the mechanical processes of fat breakdown, supports digestion by toning the body's secretions, aids in better food breakdown by supporting the intestines, stomach, pancreas, and liver, among others, and actively supports nutrient supply.
Colon cleansing promotes better bowel movement. Nutrients are better absorbed and 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 intestinal ailments, such as irritable bowel syndrome, can benefit from colon hydrotherapy. In particular, it is recommended as a complementary treatment to cancer therapy; when biological therapy allows the body to break down a cancerous mass, it is essential to achieve rapid and effective elimination of the resulting toxins.
Colon and bowel cancer, which cause many deaths, can be prevented with effective hygiene procedures. The removal of large amounts of toxic matter relieves patients and can lead to a reduction in symptoms such as arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, candidiasis, and a number of other diseases. When performed correctly, colonic irrigation can help restore normal peristaltic action in a sluggish intestine. In addition, the removal of the layer of fecal matter that coats the intestines in many individuals allows for better assimilation of nutrients from food.
In summary, we can say that the most notable benefits of colon hydrotherapy are as follows:
We have been practicing colon hydrotherapy for a long time, as we consider it a very useful technique to complement any treatment within biological medicine.
Since one of the preliminary phases of any treatment, especially for chronic conditions, is detoxification of the body, it is vital to empty the colon to prevent it from continuing to absorb toxins and to begin restoring the intestinal flora.
Before performing the treatment, we ensure that the patient cannot resolve their problem with other treatments and determine the guidelines and number of sessions. In addition, the patient may also be referred by another doctor who assumes responsibility for the indication.
Although some people come to the clinic with certain reservations, colon hydrotherapy is not at all a complicated technique, provided it is performed under proper medical supervision, as is the case with us. We use it for many conditions, especially chronic ones. It is also essential in the treatment of chronic intestinal candidiasis. It is one of the most suitable techniques for maintaining health.
The session lasts approximately one hour. The night before, a glycerin suppository is inserted, especially during the first few sessions. It is also sometimes advisable to eat a diet rich in vegetables in the days following the session, reducing the amount of protein from meat and fish. After each session, you will feel a sense of well-being and inner "cleansing." The minimum starting guideline is 3 sessions, and it is recommended to do up to 10, and even one cycle in the fall and another in the spring, along with a liver cleanse.
