OK then, How is it done?

It is the gentle infusion of warm, filtered water into the bowel. This is a restorative, painless procedure, that can tones,hdrate, and detoxify the Colon. While an enema can cleanse 5 to 10 inches of the sigmoid (lower) colon, true Colon Hydrotherapy canb cleanse the entire 5 to 6 feet of the large intestine. After the gentle insertion of a small sanitary disposable speculum into the rectum, you will relax comfortably on the table. The Therapist will monitor your colon (bowel) and assist with the infusion of water and elimination of waste. The system we use has far lower water pressure than an enema and is gentle.  At Quest For Wellness, Colon Hydrotherapy is done on FDA registered closed systems, with a Prescription from your Doctor as required by Federal Law 21cfr801.109 

We have an RX form and letter for your Doctor you can request or we can fax directly to their office.  Waste is eliminated through the instrument and out the drain. Odor is avoided with dignity and comfort maintained, we find this much more desirable than common open systems.

Margo Lalman, Co-Founder of Quest For Wellness,having her own experience of the need for Colon Hydrotherapy and taught on a closed Colonic System; before opening the service felt it necessary to update and further her eduation by Clinical Education and Experience. She met with Debbie Dickerson in her Functional Medicine Clinic in Bedford Texas for this updated Clinical experience. While there, Margo was encouraged to attend Massage School, all the while learning more about the Clinical aplications and business applications for Colon Hydrotherapy. From there Margo also completed clases with AINH (American Institute of Natural Health, Inc.) in Phoenix Arizona; following attending all of the course levels for I-ACT (Internation Association For Colon HydroTherapy) to an I-ACT certified Instructor and School. She was invited to submit a resume to AINH and was hired in 2002 teaching with them for approximately 3 years; and AZ Advanced Therapeutics for Advanced Palpation techniques and Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive System.

Margo also rounds out the education as the Instructor for Colon Hydrotherapists working with Quest For Wellness.

She has instructed many students through the years and she says, "I feel that our current Therapists are the cream of the crop!" After years of researach and experience working with various severe bowel conditions and working with different Physicians,  we are confident that the therapy and products we offer our clients are the best.

 

Why Colon Hydrotherapy?

  Research at West Virginia University of Medicine and Pharmacy confirmed that most infectious disease enters the body through mucosal surfaces. It is estimated that 80% of disease and infections enter our body through the mucosa (inner lining) of the  LARGEST mucosal membrane, the INTESTINES. How does this happen? The average American diet consists of processed foods, high amounts of non-digestable fats, and sugars that result in unhealthy gut mucosa. The most common result is constipation. The ELIMINATION of undigested food material and other waste products is as important as the DIGESTION of food-nutrients. If not properly eliminated, certain conditions can cause waste to absorb into the blood stream where it can then cause interference to healthy physiological functions. The Myofascial tissue also known as connective tissue is an area that these toxins may commonly be deposited. 

For children, this causes hard and large poop that is painful to move out, making them afraid to go the bathroom! This has been known to cause fissures, bleeding and hemorrhoids. Constipation affects everything when waste backs up in the connective tissue and increases the workload of other eliminative organs - Kidneys, Skin, Liver, Lungs and Lymphatic System. Anatomically, the enteric nervous system can be related to stress, and even lower back pain.

 

Commonly Asked Questions:

 

1. What if I go everyday?

Many individuals assume that with daily bowel movements no toxic build up can occur. Often, subtle symptoms of bowel stress go unnoticed or ignored until they become very serious. Acid reflux, gas, bloating and hemorrhoids can be indicative of a bowel that needs help. Therefore, daily elimination is not necessarily a good barometer to go by. Compare the concept to dental hygiene. We diligently brush and floss daily. Yet no matter how great our daily dental hygience, we still acquire excess build up on our teeth from the bacteria in our mouth and rely on professional maintenace.

 

2. Will Colon Hydrotherapy wash out the good intestinal flora?

No. Congested matter in the colon does not allow healthy colonization or growth of good baceteria. This re-colonization of good bacteria can occur more quickly in a clean bowel. Restoring bacterial balance keeps naturally occuring bad, infectious bacterias at bay, such as E-coli and C.Dif. QFW has very strong, effective probiotics available for purchase. We can provide probiotic additives during your session for direct absorption, if your doctor prescribes. A great jumpstart to your healthy colonization!

For a detailed answer Dr. Donald Mantell, M.D. explains this in his article, Colon Hydrotherapy And Its Applications.

3. Is Colon Hydrotherapy habit forming, like laxatives can be?

No. It  can provide a hydrating and cleansing action forthe whole body, while exercising and strengthening the bowel muscles, improving peristalsis. This does not promote dependence, but rather trains the bowel to function properly on its own.
