Constipation is a disruption of the functionality of the colon, which causes delayed or inefficient excretion of waste from the body.
Constipation causes these symptoms: nausea, loss of appetite, headache, bad breath, a plaque on the tongue, heartburn, insomnia, dizziness and so on. Reviews on colonic irrigation note the positive effect that the procedure has on the entire body.
The clinical picture of constipation depends not only on the causes but also on the tone of the intestine. Depending on whether it is elevated or lowered, constipation is categorised as being spastic or atonic.

Candidiasis of the colon is an infectious lesion in the digestive tract, caused by the fungi content in the victim's own body (Candida spp.) and their weak immune system. Forms of intestinal candidiasis vary depending on the dilution of the stool, increase in flatulence, an intensity of vague abdominal pain, ulcerative colitis and fungal sepsis. A diagnosis is made on the basis of the results after an endoscopic examination, histological and culture analysis of your biopsy specimens and faeces. The treatment includes three main procedures: the appointment of antimycotics, normalization of intestinal microflora and the correction of the patient's immune system status. Colonic irrigation also plays an important role.

Aftercare advice for colonic patients

You should feel fine after colonic hydrotherapy treatment, and not experience any unwanted side-effects; there are a few simple measures to follow:

• Follow any specific advice on diet, supplements, exercise, etc. given to you by your practitioner.
• Don't overeat. Eat simply cooked or raw food, and chew well. A diet rich in fruit and vegetables (especially leafy) will add to the cleansing effect and help to regulate bowels.
• Don't eat red meat (beef, lamb, pork and game) every day; white meat and fish and vegetarian meals are much easier to digest.
• Eat only whole grains, e.g. brown rice, wholemeal flour, NOT refined e.g. white flour products, pasta.
• Avoid lots of mucus-forming foods like refined grains, dairy products and eggs.
• A small amount of water is absorbed during the colonic treatment, and you may notice an increased need to urinate. This is normal, and will subside quickly.
• Drink plenty of fluids. If your digestion is weak, don't drink with meals or for 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals. Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours.
• You may experience some flatulence and bowel sounds - this is due to the bowel bacteria multiplying back up to strength for up to 48 hours after treatment. Probiotic supplements/foods may be useful, and the fruit and vegetables will help.
• If griping occurs, drink hot Peppermint, Fennel or Chamomile infusions, and avoid cold drinks, carbonated drinks and gassy foods.
• Don't expect a bowel movement the next day: depending upon your condition, it may take several days before normal bowel movements resume.
• Avoid rigorous exercise and weight lifting for 24 hours after treatment.
• If you experience any continued discomfort, telephone your therapist.

Candida albicans is a constituent of the microscopic flora of the human organism. In the early 20s candidiasis occurred rather rarely but in the 40s, with the use of antibiotics it became far more frequent and the number of cases has steadily been going up since. Now Candida is the most widespread pathogens of opportunistic mycosis. It may cause mucous and cutaneous lesions and systemic diseases as well. Generally, candidiasis has the endogenic origin, it results from dysmetabolic disorders and dysfunctions of the immune system. There are over 150 species of mycosis pathogens. Over 90% of lesions are caused by C. albicans.

Most people believe that gallstones can be found only in the gallbladder but this is not true.  Most gallstones are actually formed in the liver and only a few in the gallbladder.  This can be verified easily by anyone who does a liver cleanse, regardless of whether they are a layperson, medical doctor, a scientist or someone who no longer has a gallbladder and is believed to be free of gallstones altogether.  An estimated 92% of the world’s population will develop gallstones in their gallbladder at some stage in their lives but this figure does not take account of the many more people who will develop gallstones in the liver.  Gallstones in the liver may be the main obstacle to maintaining health, youthfulness and vitality, and is one of the main reasons why people fall ill and have difficulty in recuperating. 


 










The liver is the major controlling agent of normal growth and healthy functioning of all body cells.  Any malfunction, deficiency or abnormal growth pattern of the cell is to a large extent due to impaired liver function and the origin of most diseases can be traced to the liver, yet this important organ is rarely considered a ‘culprit’!  Since the majority of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder consist of the same ‘harmless’ constituents as are contained in liquid bile (with cholesterol being the main ingredient), they are invisible to X-ray technologies.  Stones in the liver do not show up as solid, whereas some of the gallstones (20%) occurring in the gallbladder can be made up entirely of hardened minerals (mainly calcium salts and bile pigment) which can be detected.
Bile is a green coloured alkaline fluid with many functions, apart from helping with the digestion of fat, calcium and proteins, it is needed to maintain normal fat levels in the blood, to remove toxins from the liver, to help maintain proper acid/alkaline balance in the intestinal tract, and to keep the colon from breeding harmful bacteria.  The body needs to produce between two and three pints of bile a day – many people produced only a cupful a day!

Anyone suffering from the following symptoms, or similar ones, are likely to have numerous gallstones in the liver and gall bladder:
 

Low appetite	Prostate diseases	Food cravings
Any digestive disorder	Diarrhoea	Constipation
Clay coloured stools	Hernia	Flatulence
Haemorrhoids	Dull pain on right side	Difficulty with breathing
Liver cirrhosis	Hepatitis/ other liver infections	High cholesterol
Pancreatitis	Heart disease	Brain disorders
Duodenal ulcers	Nausea and vomiting	Bilious or angry personality
Impotence/sexual problems	Prostate disorders	Urinary problems
Hormonal imbalances	Menstrual/menopause problems	Problems with vision
Puffy eyes	Skin disorders	Liver spots (esp no hands/face)
Dizziness and fainting	Loss of muscle tone	Excessive weight or wasing
Strong shoulder and back pain	Pain at top of shoulder blade	Dark colour under eyes
Glossy or white/yellow tongue	Scoliosis	Gout
Frozen shoulder	Stiff neck	Asthma
Headaches and migraine	Tooth and gum problems	Numbness and paralysis of legs
Joint diseases	Knee problems	Osteoporosis
Obesity	Chronic fatigue	Kidney diseases
Cancer	MS	ME
Alzheimers disease	Cold extremities	Excessive heat and perspiration in the upper half of body
Very greasy hair	And so on!!!!!

  The Liver Cleanse:  Cleansing the liver and gallbladder is one of the most important and powerful tools to improve health.  To remove gallstones, you will need the following:
Veridian malic acid capsules (2 x 500mg am and 2 x 500mg pm)
Epsom salts (available in Boots)
Cold-pressed olive oil (preferably organic)
Fresh lemons (preferably organic)
Decide which day of the week you are going to do the cleanse (weekends are a good time to do it as you will have time to rest afterwards) and start taking malic acid capsules FIVE days before.  Malic acid softens the stones and makes their passage through the bile ducts easier.  Whilst doing the liver cleanse avoid taking any medicines, vitamins or pills that are not absolutely necessary.
On the sixth day, eat a light breakfast such as cooked cereal or fruit (no milk, butter, yoghurt, cheese, eggs etc).  For lunch eat plain cooked vegetables with brown rice and a little salt (no protein foods and no butter or oil).  Don’t eat or drink anything (except water!!) after 1 pm!  The timing given below is essential for the success of the cleanse.
4 pm: Mix two tablespoons of Epsom salts in 6oz of filtered water (it may be easier to take it with a large plastic straw as this bypasses the taste buds on the tongue!) and rinse the mouth with water.  (Use a shaker jar to dissolve the Epsom salts and water)  Epsom salts are magnesium sulphate, an intestinal purge, and also a muscle relaxant for the bile ducts and the gallbladder, to prevent cramps and retention of gallstones.
5 pm: Take one tablespoon of Epsom salts in 4oz of filtered water, rinse the mouth out with water.  Drink more water as required.
7.30pm: This step is used to increase bile flow, which helps dislodge stones deep in the liver ducts. This step also helps to eliminate hunger. Eat: 8oz ORGANIC DOUBLE CREAM (use goats cream if dairy sensitive) on fresh organic berries or mixed fresh organic fruit (frozen berries are optional if necessary)  OR: eat 16-32oz vanilla HIGH-FAT ICE CREAM. (quality organic ice cream)
10 pm: Bedtime – have the following items ready and have a timer handy.
Take 4oz of olive oil (room temperature), followed by 4oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice.  (olive oil taken as above causes the liver ducts and the gallbladder to forcefully contract and expel their collection of gall gravel and stones.
The acid lemon juice speeds the transit of the olive oil through the stomach and into the duodenum, which helps to prevent nausea).  Next, rinse your mouth and clean your teeth and go to bed immediately.  Lie on your right side with your right knee bent up towards the body and remain in this position for approximately 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes, relax, stretch out and go to sleep.
The following morning, immediately do the following.  Take two teaspoons of Epsom salts in 3oz of filtered water, followed by 8-12oz of water.  Later drink more water as desired.  Wait 2-3 hours before eating a light breakfast.

Colonic irrigation is one of the most effective treatments against many diseases and a way to restore your natural health. According to scientific research, a significant part of all pathologies is caused by the violation of the function of the digestive system. When the colon is particularly affected, it leads to changes in the metabolic processes of the body, causes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, circulatory system and forms various allergic reactions.

LAXATIVES vs. COLONIC IRRIGATION.
Laxatives act as chemical irritants and stimulate the muscular walls of the colon to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances. It is very easy to become dependant upon these drugs and permanently destroy the normal ability of the colon to eliminate naturally on its own accord. The oral route of administration is the least optimal method of evacuation of the large intestine. Very important digestive processes occurring higher up in the alimentary tract (stomach and small intestine) are interfered with. Most laxatives and other cathartics precipitate dehydration in the patient. Colonic irrigation alternately fills and empties the colon and would improve the hydration status of the patient.

Colonic Hydrotherapy of the intestine is an apparatus purification procedure, in which the large intestine is irrigated (washed) with a large amount of liquid.
In contrast to the usual enema cleansing of the intestine. cleansing only the rectum, hydro-colon therapy offers cleaning of all parts of the intestine.
Colonic Hydrotherapy of the intestine is really a useful procedure if the patient has no contraindications and the course is carried out correctly, not only the procedures for purifying toxins have been performed, but also to restore normal intestinal microflora.

Low activity of the intestinal muscles or the immobility of the intestine indicates the need for an urgent colonic irrigation procedure.
Colonic irrigation is done by passing water in the digestive tract through the rectum. The procedure is carried out exclusively in specialized clinics. Unlike enemas, it does not require you to be in the toilet and does not cause severe discomfort.

Colon hydrotherapy an intestinal cleansing method (enema) done mechanically using specially designed equipment, as said by most surgeon-proctologists. This procedure is very effective against chronic constipation, metabolic disorders, allergies, obesity and some skin diseases. Sometimes it is prescribed in cases of alcohol, drug or poison intoxication.

The intestine is the organ in our body that accumulates the most amount of waste over time, so it has to be cleaned from time to time to keep it functional. If you have a healthy lifestyle, then it is recommended to cleanse the colon at least once a year, though if your diet is rich in fibre and poor in hydrogenated fats and semi-finished products, then it is very likely you do not have intestinal intoxication at all. If you experience unpleasant things (constipation, allergies, skin diseases) too often, then it is very likely that you are heavily intoxicated. Colon hydrotherapy will help completely restore the intestine and purify the whole body.

Previously, the procedure of inserting an enema to rinse the colon was popular, however, it was not pleasant and ineffective. Modern approaches to the problem and are simpler, yet many times more effective and comfortable.
Famous clinics offer the most common type of cleansing procedures called colon hydrotherapy. Colonic irrigation, with herbs and other beneficial solutions included, will help completely restore the function of the digestive tract. The procedure is better known as a method for the complete purification of the intestines and the whole body, thereby fully improving the patient’s health.
