COLON HYDROTHERAPY
|
Cleaning the #1 elimination organ of the body is the most important step of an effective cleanse.
Did you know that the average person that is not overweight has between 4-12 kilos of dried up poop in their colon? The 21st Century is tough on the digestive system; with our over processed diet and fast paced lifestyles the colon can become clogged. Many medical experts believe that this build up of toxins can turn us into disease time bombs, increasing the risk of diseases such as cancer, heart trouble, infertility and diabetes. Colon Hydrotherapy can aid in the removal of those built up toxins and improve your health. Remove the root cause of disease. Colon hydrotherapy (also known as colonic irrigation) is an ancient method of treatment and form of detoxification that has been practiced for over 3,500 years. It never would have made it through the scientific era unless it had unquestionable value to its recipients. It has recently regained attention as a natural and highly effective method of detoxification due to the advances in modern colonic instrumentation and the regulation of its practitioners. The emergence of this ancient health practice is also entering mainstream consciousness as celebrities like Madonna, Usher, Matt Damon, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, Cindy Crawford, Paris Hilton, motivational speaker Anthony Robbins and a host of others speak publicly about their personal use of colonic hygiene. The colon is the primary eliminator of wastes and toxins in our body, fundamentally acting as our sewerage system, a healthy colon is not only essential for effective elimination, it is also necessary for the absorption of vital nutrients. Over time wastes can build up in our colon leading to a variety of digestive disorders such as constipation, IBS, yeast infection, bloating and flatulence. These built up toxins are also absorbed back into the blood stream resulting in general signs of toxicity such as fatigue, headaches, moodiness, food sensitivities and skin disorders. Over time this gradual poisoning of the system can result in more serious diseases, depending on which tissues the toxins settle in. Arthritis, chronic fatigue and cancer have all been linked to a toxic colon. Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure, but a valuable procedure used to assist the body with a wide variety of conditions. Colonic irrigation gently washes the colon of debris, re-tones the bowel wall and opens up our detoxification pathways. The body’s toxic burden is alleviated, and the digestive system is able to function more effectively. |

PROCEDURE
|
At Alyssium Foundation we are one of the few clinics in Australia to be utilising the worlds premier gravity fed, open designed system, ensuring you the safest, simplest and most effective solution available. Whether used prior to endoscopic or radiological procedures, for internal cleansing of an impacted colon, or as a preventative maintenance measure, you will enjoy a comfortable reclining chair experience in privacy and with dignity, lasting approximately 45 minutes. Patients will experience dramatic elimination results after one session and will appreciate and prefer the procedure for its many health giving benefits.
This system is FDA, TGA and CE Mark-registered Class II medical device. The system is cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant prior to every use. Step 1: If it is your 1st time to the Alyssium Foundation you will be asked to fill out a simple customer form which will document your general health and any contraindications. When this has been checked by your I-ACT certified colon therapist… Step 2: You will be taken into your own private treatment room, and given a demonstration of the procedure. After the therapist leaves the room, you may undress your lower body, put on the gloves provided and apply the lubricant generously to the anal area. This will aid in the smooth insertion of the sterile disposable rectal tube. You will then position yourself comfortably on the system as previously demonstrated by your therapist and gently insert the tube. The tube is 1cm in diameter and is inserted only 3cm into the rectum. You will be provided with a fresh towel to cover yourself. Then when you are ready, press the bell for the therapist. Step 3: The therapist will knock on the door and enter your room. She will turn on the system and make sure everything is fine. A gentle flow of gravity-fed, body temperature purified water begins. Water flowing into the colon initiates peristalsis and the patient responds by releasing water and waste repeatedly over the course of the next 35 minutes. This progressive irrigation and hydration that starts at the rectum, goes through the transverse section and then eventually to the cecum, breaking up waste matter and achieving the complete evacuation of the colon. The result is a hygienic internal environment. The procedure can be stopped at anytime by simply turning off the flow switch to stop the gravity-flow stream of water, or by simply sliding back off the rectal tube and resting on the system. Step 4: You will be given a remote control to your own private entertainment system, where you can choose to watch a DVD or simply just relax and listen to some relaxing music. The therapist will check on you whenever required, or you may simply want to be left alone throughout the whole session if you are a regular. The session will last approximately 45 minutes. Step 5: At end of the session, press the bell, the therapist will knock on the door and enter the room. She will show you where the shower sprayer is and leave the room for you to rinse your personal area while sitting on the system. After rinsing, you may use the towel to dry off and then get dressed to leave the room. Step 6: Upon finishing the session, you will be given a specially formulated mineral supplement, powerful antioxidants and most importantly trillions of good bacteria to replenish the bowel flora and restore optimum balance. |
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is colon hydrotherapy safe?
Yes. At Alyssium Foundation we utilize the world’s premier colonic system which is imported from the US and manufactured to comply with Australia’s strict FDA and TGA standards. Your therapist is also trained and certified by I-ACT. (International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy)
2. Will colonic be messy or smelly?
No. There is no mess or odour because there is a built-in internal exhaust fan that extracts out the smell from the drain pipe out to the exterior of the building. The built in shower sprayer right next to the device will also allow a thorough cleanse to the personal area after the session ends.
3. Do the treatments hurt?
No. In fact many people report their colon hydrotherapy sessions as being both refreshing and relaxing. However, if you have a full impacted colon, a little cramping may occur as the colon naturally contracts to expel out the waste. This is well tolerated by the general population. Once the first major impaction of faecal matter is expelled, you will find the session to be pleasant.
4. Will I be embarrassed?
Not at all. At Alyssium Foundation we use state of the art equipment that allows you to experience colon hydrotherapy without embarrassment. The procedure is essentially self administered and you remain covered at all times. For most of the 45 minute session you enjoy total privacy, however the therapist can be called at any time simply by pressing the buzzer.
At some clinics they use a method where the therapist inserts a tube into your rectum; this makes the procedure a little more daunting. This is not the method we use – no one will see your private parts!
5. Are there any contraindications to colon hydrotherapy?
If you have a concern about your health or the appropriateness of colon hydrotherapy for you, you should consult your physician or licensed healthcare practitioner. Contraindications include, but may not be limited to: recent colon, rectal or abdominal surgery, congestive heart failure, intestinal perforations, carcinoma of the rectum, fissures or fistula, severe haemorrhoids, abdominal hernia, renal insufficiency, first or last trimester of pregnancy and cirrhosis of the liver. Professionally-administered colon hydrotherapy is otherwise very safe and you will be screened for contraindications prior to you session.
6. Is there any possibility of bacterial or viral contamination from prior of the colon hydrotherapy equipment?
No. At Alyssium Foundation we use single-use, sterile rectal nozzles. The use of sterile disposables coupled with the implementation of multi-stage sanitation protocol leaves no danger of contamination. Before every session, the whole system is cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant.
7. How long does a session take?
Actual session time is about 45 minutes, but you should plan on about 1 ½ hours for your first consultation with session.
8. Can Colonics be habit-forming?
No. Having a colonic is like going to the gym for your colon. Your colon has to do the work of pushing out the water and the loosened faecal matter. The more colonics you have, the stronger your colon can become, as it improves the peristaltic movement of the colon wall.
9. Will laxatives accomplish the same results?
No. Laxatives are an irritant to the body. Therefore, the body produces a thin, watery substance that goes through the colon and leaves behind the impacted waste and toxins. Laxatives can easily become habit forming to the body system, and most individuals experience abdominal pain after taking laxatives.
10. How does a colon hydrotherapy treatment compare to an enema?
An enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, whereas with colon hydrotherapy you cleanse with purified water and the entire length of the colon is reached. It is many more times effective. According to learned centenarian Dr. Norman Walker, “One colon irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas.”
11. Can I have a Colonic if I have my period??
Yes. Some consider it a good time to have a session since your body is already cleansing. Your flow will not interfere with the success of the session. However, some women prefer to wait until after their period is over to do a cleansing session.

Yes. You can work just as you would after a regular bowel movement.
15. What are the signs of an unhealthy colon?

A healthy colon is essential for a healthy body. Cleaning all the accumulated toxins from you colon will help your body to function optimally. Digestion improves, metabolism improves, immunity is strengthened, and you will be left feeling light and energised.

A toxic colon is associated with an array of chronic diseases such as cancer and arthritis, so by keeping your insides clean you can help to keep yourself healthy throughout your life.

This very much depends on the individual health status, and diet. However, for most people, if it is your 1st time or if it has been over 6mths since your last session, we recommend 3 sessions within the space of a week. Some may require more however we find 3 for most people is enough to clear the entire colon.
Depending on the health of your colon and how often you eliminate, we may recommend a maintenance program, or you can simply come back when you feel the need.
18. How come my doctor never told me about Colon Hydrotherapy?
Doctors are generally trained to treat specific illnesses by chemical based medication. Colon Hydrotherapy belongs to the natural methods category and is only performed by trained and certified therapist.
19. What will happen to the good bacteria in the colon? Will I lose bacteria balance after the treatment?
The helpful bacteria can not grow and thrive in a toxic environment, whereas the harmful ones thrive and should be removed often as they generate disease and prevent the good, friendly bacteria from living in the bowel. Just as when we grow flowers or vegetables we must first prepare the soil. A colonic is like preparing the soil. You can not expect good bacteria to take root in a negative, decaying environment. Once we have removed the decay we can then begin to recolonise the bowel with trillions of friendly bacteria creating a wonderful and friendly environment. We give you a big dose of the good bacteria at the end of your session. Good bacteria can and should be taken as a health supplement regularly.
