the colon is the largest organ of elimination(the bodies dustbin and janitor). not only does it excrete metabolic waste and environmental toxins, it needs to be healthy and clean as it also absorbs and assimilates nutrients from the food that we eat. friendly bacteria reside there synthesising many vitamins (i.e. B12) and immune factors. it is our true source of energy and life.

our bowl is responsible for sanitising waste by-products (toxins) from liver, lymphatics, circulation and kidney, etc. if the bin is full, or unable to absorb the body's waste then internal organs become toxic and thus, work less effectively. An example of toxic overload include; bowel deficiency - bloating and allergy/ skin - acne/ lungs - asthma

in health the transit time of food through our bodies is less than 24 hours, on average in Ireland it is now 60 hours for men and 70 hours for women [international colonic association 2003: dr burkitt`s 1935 ]

Ireland is the most constipated nation in the world. [international colonic association 2004]

one in three people consulting GP`s have a primary bowel problem. Bowel disorders such as IBS, colitis, crohn`s disease, diverticulitis, and yeast infection are now wide spread.

Ireland has the third highest incidences of colon rectal cancer in the world. 7500 people die from cancer every year, one quarter of these deaths are colon or rectal cancer in origin. [Irish cancer society 2003]

On average [males and females], colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer in Ireland. [national cancer registry]

70% of lymphatic nodes are located on the colon and intestine [Andrews, 2004]. the main function of the lymphatic system is immunity. this means if the colon is toxic, you potentially reduce your immunity by 70%.

Colonic irrigation is one of the oldest healing procedures used to alleviate most symptoms and ailments of the body. A practice dating around 1500BC Colonic irrigation is a gentle internal colon bath using alternating comfortable temperatures of purified water. This alternating flow dislodges and eliminates old faecal matter, gas, mucous and toxic substances from the colon. Techniques such as herbal enemas or implants for specific symptomatologies, reflex and neurolymphatic points are incorporated into a session for relaxation and enhanced toxin clearance. Optional treatments can cleanse internal organs through herbal formulae, which is deemed to be the fastest and most effective form of detoxifying the body.

reducing toxicity in the bowel [emptying the waste and toxins] allows the other organs to dump and empty their garbage. This is the principle which colon hydrotherapy relieves the symptoms and illness. Some of the observed effects are; symptom reduction, clearer skin, increased energy, mental clarity, fewer headaches and improvement in circulation and immunity, weight regulation and fluid balance. Regular colonics and treatment can reshape and retone the colon resulting in more efficient elimination channels for all organs.

Yes. gentle control of the lavage ensures safety and your comfort throughout. equipment is disposable or sterilised as per protocols of the "international colonic register of practitioners". Colonic hydrotherapy, unlike the use of laxatives, is not habit forming and actually improves the tone of the colon!.

"80-85% of all diseases begin in the bowel" [Dr. Jensen/Dr. lane/Dr. kellog] the majority of symptoms in ill health are a result of the toxic production rate being higher then the rate of toxic elimination.

Even with the purest diet and the healthiest living, toxic build-up from modern lifestyles and diets becomes a burden on the normal functions of your body's organs. Pollution; alcohol; smoking; pesticides; impure water; radiation of our food and environment; hormones and anti-biotics used to mass produce meat and vegetables; steroids in the form of food and drugs; stressful living and many other environmental factors; all of these make it almost impossible for our bodies to excrete toxins at the absorption rate. The stagnant bowel becomes toxin laden and so relies on the other elimination organs to rid or store the excess waste. The other main elimination organs are the liver, kidney and lungs and the elimination systems are the circulation, lymphatics and skin. symptoms of these parts are toxic ladened.
