Example of a Colonic
During a Colonic you lay comfortably on your back while covered in a gown. The therapist remains with you while monitoring the equipment (as shown on wall) ensuring you have an effective and safe session.
Some people choose to relax and listen to music, many enjoy conversations with their therapist. Popular topics include how the digestive system works, the body's detox process, food choices and preparation. Our therapists want to listen to your concerns and answer your questions.
Colonics do more than cleanse the colon and provide intestinal hygiene. By helping the body release toxins, stress is alleviated from the organs and systems effected by disease and dysfunction.

Additives $5.00 We can add solutions to the Colonic water. Garlic is often preferred when chronic yeast infections are a concern and for sinus colds or sore throats.
Diets of saturated fats, meats, sugars and processed foods contribute to impacted feces along the inside of the colon wall. We absorb pesticides, herbicides, additives and preservatives from the food we eat, pollutants in the air, chlorine and purifying solutions in water, chemicals from detergents and household cleansers, along with petrol-chemicals and others found in our personal hygiene products.
The intestines produce mucous along their inner lining for protection and these irritants increase that production. As the mucous moves through the bowels, it becomes dry and adheres to the colon wall, impacting and inhibiting normal bowel elimination. A person may carry as much as five to fifty pounds of dried fecal matter and mucous. Eliminating this impacted matter promotes better bowel function, release of toxins throughout the body and enhances overall health.
Weight loss is easier and faster when a healthy diet program is accompanied by detoxing using Colonics. It is known that fat cells contain toxins and to eliminate the fat cells you must first release the toxins they have absorbed.
All medications and drugs affect the digestive system. Read the potential side effects associated with them and you will notice that they promote constipation, diarrhea and influence the body's ability to absorb nutrients or release waste. Colonics can help minimize the effect of medication.
There is an old saying, "You are what you eat". We like to add, "…and, you are what you keep!". Studies show that cells no longer perform their tasks and reproduce to the best of their ability when they are surrounded and filled with toxic material. Cancer cells are reported to be influenced not only by abundant amounts of toxins but also by the combining of one or more certain toxins with each other. The liver, an amazing organ which is responsible for cleansing and detoxing the body's blood, may strive to perform with as little as 10% of its functionality. But once compromised beyond its tolerance, there is no replacement for it and no living without it. The percentage of people reported to have Colon Cancer is rising along with Diverticulosis, Irritable Bowel, Crohn's Disease, Liver Cancer, Acid Reflux Diseas e, Arthritis and various dysfunctions of the brain chemistry.
Healthy babies and adults have bowel movements shortly after each meal. The elimination would be without stress, over one inch in diameter, light/medium brown, without offensive odor and should float or sink slowly. The first movement of the day should be over one foot in length. People report having healthy bowel movements after colon cleansing.
A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body.

Description of the Colonic Procedure
This is a restorative, painless procedure, which is both relaxing and effective. To begin, the therapist inserts a small (1inch diameter) disposable tube about three-four inches into the rectum. Then, you lie comfortably on your back, with your knees slightly bent, for forty-five minutes while mildly warm, filtered water flows continuously in and out through the tube. All the while you are completely covered by a gown. Waste material is softened and flows gently out of the body with the water. After the session is completed, you visit the bathroom and dress.
We tell all our first time clients not to imagine what a Colonic is like; because, it will probably be different than what they are thinking. After the first twenty minutes, everyone says that having a Colonic is really simple, easy and surprisingly enough, not really embarrassing. When finished with the therapy, most people feel more energetic.

Colonics Hydrate
The most important attribute of the Colonic is that it hydrates not only the colon but the whole body! You may be drinking water and still be dehydrated due to dried mucous and matter inside the colon.The colon recycles over 70% of important body fluids including, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones and more. Your body has to reproduce these every day if your colon doesn’t do a good job recycling. Colonics hydrate the colon cell tissue to promote this absorption process.A hydrated colon is essential for the other organs of digestion.The small intestine, stomach, liver, gall bladder and pancreas depend upon this hydration to produce their digestive fluids. A the colon hydrates the blood and lymph fluids which in turn hydrate the body’s cells that they may release stored toxins. The average American holds over 200 major toxins throughout their body!Our bodies are stressed. It is time to help your body detox.
All other colon detox methods of pills, powders, clays and liquids do not hydrate the colon enough and often do just the opposite – dehydrate.Altogether, Colonics are easiest on the body, most natural, and effective of these methods.

Colonics Enhance Other Therapies
There are many supplement programs, fasting, and detoxing formulas available on the market today. Colonics compliment all of them. These programs will go faster, easier and achieve greater results with the benefit of Colon Hydrotherapy to assist them.
Many natural therapies such as Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Massage, Nutritional and Herbal supplementation, Homeopathy, Emotional Release Therapies and all others are enhanced with Colon Hydrotherapy. When the Colon releases, the body is able to process change and integrate assistance easier and faster. Clean colons promote health.

How Many Colonics?Of course this depends upon your goals and general health.We generalize the following guidelines for you to review with your therapist.More colonics should be considered for severe or chronic conditions.Please remember these are guidelines for optimal performance to accomplish desired goals quickly.Each colonic may be of great success for you and in time they all add up.No matter how far apart the colonics, each one can be successful and be one step closer to reaching your goals.
·Immediate assistance:Relief from constipation or diarrhea: usually 1 to 3 Colonics close together will do fine.Some people need as many as 10 to 15 if they have experienced long term problems or have blockages.
·Cleanse the colon:Varies greatly from between 3 and 10 once the colon is hydrated.
·Hydrate the colon:Promotes hydration of the whole body.Usually begins between 3-6 and continues with any additional colonics.
·Cellular cleansing and detoxing:Begins with hydration of 3-6 Colonics and continues with each additional colonic.If the colonic is part of a whole body detox plan, one weekly is usually very successful.
·Diet changes:Start with cleansing 3 to 10 Colonics and continue as desired for assistance with cravings and chemistry changes.
·Weight management:Start with cleansing 3 to 10 close together and continue one weekly or every other week throughout program.
·Changing lifestyle assistance:Start with cleansing 3 to 10 Colonis and continue with 1 weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly until comfortably maintaining new lifestyle.
·Medical prescription or protocol natural health assistance:Number and frequency determined by individual situation.
·Maintenance:We believe in the long term health plan.We would love to see you do this for yourself once a month.We suggest you start by scheduling 2 or 3 sessions close together - one each day or skip a day. Often the second and third Colonics are many times more successful than the first session.
Your therapiest will discuss your Colonic results and your health concerns to help you determine the condition of your colon and a recommended program for your health goals.

Colonic -vs- Enema
Colonics are much more successful and a lot less stressful than enemas! Colonics are a no odor, no mess, no fuss process because all the matter flows out through a tube. Therefore, they ensure your dignity, comfort, and hegiene.
An enema usually flushes out only the sigmoid or the end of the colon. A colonic is intended to gradually and completely clean out the entire organ from rectum to cecum. Colonic action can soften years of hardened fecal crust, as well as remove gas, mucus, worms and undigested food particles.
With enemas the person experiences cramping and pushing to release the water and matter while sitting on the toilet. With a Colonic, unlike an enema, there is no uncomfortable retention of water or stressful effort to eliminate. The person is lying comfortably on a massage table on their back. The continuous water flow of the Colonic equipment gently carries the water and matter out of the body.
Enemas do not hydrate the whole body. Enemas do not strengthen and tone the colon muscle for improved bowel elimination. Colonics are a much different process and much more effective.

Colonics and Intestinal Flora
The body requires a certain amount of “friendly bacteria” for the healthy processing of some nutrients and wastes. Accumulation of encrusted feces in the colon makes it impossible for the necessary intestinal flora to grow. Cleansing helps bring the colon’s acid-alkaline ratio back into balance, allowing friendly bacteria to thrive, while inhibiting disease-causing organisms. Acidophilus powders or capsules can be taken orally to reintroduce the friendly bacteria into the colon.
_______________
Colonic Equipment
Healing Insights uses onlyFDA approved Type II Medical Devices for all our Colonics.
Colonics are a cleansing of the colon using constant flowing, purified water which then supports the gentle release of matter. They are much more comfortable and affective than laxatives, colon cleansing powders or pills. Enemas create stress as the person must push to release matter. Colonics are much more successful without the effort.
Did you know not all advertised Colonics use professional equipment?Some use inexpensive or home-made colonic devices that are “gravity fed” or “open water flow” systems that compromise comfort, success, and hygiene. ·Professional equipment has a “pressure gauge” informing the therapistof any change to pressure inside the body. She is able to know and adjustthe water pressure following into the body to; a) ensure your comfort, b) release more matter, and c) with less stress and effort for the client.
·Professional Colonics use a “closed water flow” system, which means the water flows into and out of the body directly into the equipment plumbing through a disposable tubing.At no time does the water or the waste matter empty into an open receptacle and become exposed to the air compromising hygiene and exposure to bacteria.Therefore, no mess, no odor, no fuss.
·Professional equipment has a back-flow prevention device built into it. This means that anything flowing out of the body, under any circumstances, will not flow back into the body. At Healing Insights, we have followed city health codes for medical devices and have installed a separate RPZ unit for each water line. The RPZ would stop any pressure change, even a fire truck using a fire hydrant, from affecting the colonic hygiene.
·Also very important, professional equipment has a built in system for sterilizing and cleansing the equipment’s internal tubing and the plumbing itself.Again, ensuring the best possible hygienefor each client. ·The Therapist has the knowledge and experience and is the person who should be operating the equipment.During the session, the therapist will talk about the body, how digestion works, explain the detoxing process and what you might expect.The Therapist answers your questions and provides information about your Colonic that you may learn more to better help yourself.
