What
is Colon Hydrotherapy?
 Colon
hydrotherapy is gentle purified water washing of the large
intestine. The client lies on a massage table and with a
colon hydrotherapy machine; the water is run very slowly
into the colon. When slight pressure builds up in the colon,
the water is released. As the water is flowing out through
an illuminated glass viewing tube, the abdominal area is
thoroughly massaged. This process is repeated during the
session. In one session approximately two to six liters
flow into and out of the large intestines. To insure maximum
sanitation, a sterile speculum is used.
The physical goals of each session are to hydrate the system,
remove waste, stimulate peristalsis*, rehabilitate the nerves,
muscles, glands, circulatory and immune systems that form
the components of the digestive system, and to reposition
the intestines. |

How
do the intestines get out of shape?
Everything
we put in our mouth touches and effects the walls of the
stomach, small intestine, and colon (large intestine). When
these substances or their bi-products are toxic, they damage
the intestinal wall and cells. This in turn intoxicate
the nerves and glands, and can be absorbed through the walls
into the blood and lymph and ultimately to the cells and
tissues.
As a result,
peristalsis declines. The slower transit increases fermentation
putrefaction of undigested food by bacteria and yeast. The
bacteria and yeast give off toxic wastes in the form of
acids and gasses. These substances also cause inflammation
and damage to the cell of the intestinal walls. Research
indicates these substances can create abnormal behavior
and abnormal brain behavior and abnormal brain behavior.
The nervous system is directly affected.
Elimination becomes incomplete and waste remains in the
intestines. Dehydration and stagnation occur. The matrix
creates erratic conditions in the body we call disease.
The main dietary offenders are animal products, salt, sugar,
flour, chemicals, and drugs. They are lifeless and give
no energy to the digestive system.
How
is the lymph system related to the intestines?
The lymph
system is part of the circulatory system and a major organ
of the immune system. Its clear-to-white fluid is composed
of many different types of white blood cells and other substances.
One of its main jobs is to transport nutrients form the
blood to each cell and remove its waste. Some of the waste
is transported to the intestines via the lacteals, that
part of the lymph system which empties into the small intestines.
It then passes into the large intestine for elimination.
When the intestinal walls are impacted the lymph system
retains the cell waste. The prolific number of lymph nodes
in the abdominal region also becomes storage points for
the waste. Lymphatic fluid becomes thicker and if accompanied
with dehydration sets the stage for and impaired immune
system.
Keep the lymph highly fluid by focusing on daily fluid intake,
diet, and exercise. |
I
had trouble with my weight and had struggled with
my health and foods for a long time. I heard about
Josephine and decided to go and see her. I had colonic
hydrotherapy and changed the foods that I ate. I
thought I couldn't handle changing what I did, but
with Josephine's help, I have changed my diet and
I am now down from 154 to 124. I am very happy and
feel great. I plan to have a colonic every
month.
Thank you Josephine |

What
is constipation?
 Constipation
is any form of congestion and is usually accompanied by
dehydration. It extends to the cellular level. One bowel
movement a day is sign of constipation and incomplete elimination
is a form of constipation. Symptoms are overweight, fatigue,
irritability, mental confusion, bloat, gas, indigestion,
lethargy, headaches, migraines, earaches, sinus drainage,
allergies, cellulite, anxiety, depression, pessimism, whining,
unsatisfied hunger, poor circulation. Have I named a familiar
problem yet?
A colon hydrotherapy session begins to hydrate the system
and break up the impacted and dehydrated fecal, mucoid,
and other waste material that layer the walls of the intestine.
Once again, the intestines are capable of receiving and
disposing of waste from the body, stopping the backup and
re-absorption of toxic material. Assimilation of nutrients
improves. The liver and kidneys are relieved.
How
do I restore my intestinal health?
Hydrate,
dissolve, disinfect, soother, and tonify intestinal tissue.
The colon hydrotherapy session with water and abdominal
massage break this matter within the small and large intestines
with excellent results. People attain the most success with
colon hydrotherapy when done in conjunction with fluids,
exercise and diet.
The most successful dietary methods of removing waste from
the wall of the stomach, small intestine, and colon are:
~ Keeping a fluid intake of three quarts
plus
~ Mixing powdered psyllium seed husks
in juice or water and drink
~ Using a high volume of fresh orange,
grapefruit, or pineapple juice
and balance with
a form of chlorophyll*
~ Eating a high volume of fresh fruits
and vegetables
~ Fasting.
Psyllium has the capacity to extract many feet of mucus
from the intestinal walls in a short period of time. Fruits
are solvents in the system and acid fruits are the strongest
solvents. Bentonite is occasionally used with psyllium to
chelate out toxic metals and minerals, disturb parasite
habitats, neutralize toxic acids, and for additional absorptive
power.
Massage therapy and a regular exercise program break up
hardened matter, stimulate lymph circulation, and tonify
weakened abdominal tissue.
Herbal and dietary products may be used to disinfect, soothe,
and tonify tissue. Antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial
herbs such as pau darco or garlic can be used to disinfect
when toxins are in circulation from the cleansing. Marshmallow,
chaparral, and slippery elm help heal inflamed tissue. Astringents,
such as oak bark, persimmon as well as living foods will
aid in tonifying the weakened intestinal tissues.
Resolve the issues that are harming you in any way emotionally
and mentally.
Dear
Josephine: Thank you so very much for scheduling
me for weekend appointments, especially at such
short notice. As stated at the time of my
appointment, there is no Colonic Therapist in Des
Moines Iowa.... not that I can locate. Both
my husband and I have been following your dietary
advice; and since receiving the three colonics I
have been experiencing some improvement. I
wish I could see you more frequently but it is approximately
61/2 hours by car from Des Moines to St. Louis.
I have another appointment with my internist
at the end of October and will schedule another
weekend session with you.
Once again, my sincere thanks,
Dr. Mary, Iowa |
What
is the best thing I can do to help my intestines?
 Breathing
is number one. Exercise, yoga and meditation are the best
ways to focus on and train ourselves to breathe. The rhythm
of the breath is the basis of peristalsis, relaxation of
the nervous system and regeneration of the blood. All are
necessary for healthy intestines to work.
Glossary
Peristalsis:
is the muscle motion of the entire gastrointestinal
tract that in rhythmic contractions and expansion propels
matte from mouth to anus. Peristalsis needs high fluids,
plenty of physical exercise, living food, and a harmonious
emotional and mental state in order to function.
Chlorophyll: is the pigment that makes leaves green.
Its magnesium molecule transmutes into an iron molecule
in the body and is the basis of the red blood cell. Examples
are marine and blue-green algaes, spirulina, wheat and barley
greens.
Astringent: Herb is any plant that is able to contract
the tissues and canals of the body thereby tonifying them.
