What if my colon is impacted with years of accumulated waste? This is not possible except perhaps in cases of major, life-threatening illness. Stories of old, hardened feces and other waste material sticking to the colon wall are not true. Therefore, noticeable weight loss is not a standout side effect of the treatment in all cases and should not be expected. Who should perform colon hydrotherapy? Practitioners should be nurses, MDs, or NDs in order to perform treatments and to provide credibility in the field. Are there contraindications for colon hydrotherapy? Yes.

Some clinical advantages:
How many colon hydrotherapy treatments do I need?
Generally, no. However, it may be uncomfortable at times because of gas and fecal matter being cleared out by the water. Most clients feel much better after removing the cause of their discomfort: waste and gas. In addition, we at The Colon Therapy Health & Education Centre provide nutritional advice. Can colon hydrotherapy alone be used to maintain a healthy colon? No. Colon hydrotherapy must be combined with a healthful diet to maintain a healthy colon. Daily exercise is also important, and stress management is essential! Colon hydrotherapy is simply one step in a total process. How does colon hydrotherapy compare with laxatives? Both natural and chemical laxatives can irritate the colon wall and destroy both friendly and unfriendly bacteria in the bowel. If laxatives are taken more than periodically, your body may adjust and become dependent on them. Laxatives may interfere with the rest of the digestive system and could cause further problems. Conversely, colon hydrotherapy uses water to gently cleanse the colon, and thus does not irritate the colon walls. It poses no risk of dependency, and it does not interfere with the rest of the digestive system. Can I catch a disease from colon hydrotherapy? No. As nurses, we are trained in infection control. The Angel of Water® CM-1 system uses a sterile disposable nozzle for insertion into the anal canal, and the system is designed for easy sanitizing and disinfecting. Will colon hydrotherapy wash away good bacteria? It can. However, it washes out the bad bacteria and provides a habitat for the good bacteria to colonize and flourish—in other words, colon hydrotherapy “weeds and fertilizes” the colon. At The Colon Therapy Health & Education Centre, we incorporate Quinton Isotonic solution after the treatment to ensure replacement of healthy flora in the bowel. This helps to regenerate the inner environment immediately, to build immunity, and to restore electrolyte balance.
