Cleansing the bowel dates back 4,000 years, which were described in the oldest known medical texts called the Hindu Vedas. The "Ebers Papyrus", written 3,000 years ago, describes in detail on how to deal with cleansing of the bowel. This cleasing was also referenced in the "Ods to the Egyptians". Dr. Otto Bettman describes the occasion referred to as "The Divine Clyst" (Note: Clyster translated means enema). Cleansing the colon has also been referenced in the ancient writings of the Chinese, Romans, Sumerianse, and the Greeks. Hippocrates, the famous "Father of Modern Medicine", left behind many writings that were and are still used in medical texts detailing the importance of a clean colon. He refers to the various ways of cleaning the intestines and describes using a bull's horn, pig bladder and a hollow reed to administer the water into the colon. The "Essenes", who lived during the times of the New Testament, also wrote about bowel health. Galen, the greatest physician since Hippocrates, mentions bowel cleaning with water, oil and honey in his writings. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg of the infamous Kellogg's Corn Flakes, treated thousands of patients with colon therapy. In 1917 Journal of American Medicine, Kellogg reported that in over 40,000 cases, as a result of diet, exercise and colon cleanings, in ALL but 20 cases, he had used no surgery for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in his patients. During the 1930's Dr. Henry A Cotton, published several articles in the Journal of American Medical Association, discussing the use of colon cleansing and the phenomenal results of his patients. The list goes on and on regarding all the physicians of the world, the infamous scientists that are in agreeance of the importance of Colon Therapy and the relationship between a healthy body and healthy bowel is an intrinsic relationship!
Colon Hydrotherapy is an age old tradition based in the use of water to detoxify the body.Each year people are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals and pollutants in the earth’s atmosphere, water, food and soil. These pollutants manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms, including decreased immune function, neurotoxicity, hormonal dysfunction, psychological disturbances, allergies, appendicitis, appetite loss, asthma, backaches, bad breath, bad odor, bloating, blurred vision, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, coated tongue, colitis, concentration loss, congestion, constipation, depression, diarrhea, digestive disorders, distended abdomen, early aging, excessive colds, flu or mucus, fatigue, fever, food craving, food reactions, foul or excessive gas, gastritis, gingivitis, headaches, hemorrhoids, hypoglycemia, hyper activity, immune dysfunction, impotence, indigestion, insomnia, intestinal dysfunction, irritability, joint pain, learning difficulties, malabsorption, memory loss, menstrual disorders, muscle pain, nail fungus, nausea, nervousness, over-acidity, pancreas inflammation, parasite infections, periodontal problems, prostate problems, respiratory ailments, short attention span, sinus problems, skin problems, stomach pains, swelling, tension, toxic feeling, urinary disorders, vaginitis, weight problems, and yeast infections. Some symptoms may occur over short periods of time. Detoxification therapy helps to rid the body of chemicals and pollutants and can facilitate a return to health.
The absorption of nutrients is enhanced when the colon is cleansed. This safe and painless process involves infusing filtered and temperature regulated water into the large intestine to dislodge impacted material and dilute bacteria and toxic concentrations. Colon Hydrotherapy improves muscle tone and facilitates peristalsis action.(helps the colon contract to move fecal matter out of the body). The infusion of warm water through the colon to cleanse trapped mattering, preventing if from recycling toxins through the blood stream.
At Able Body Colonics, we use the HydroSan Machine, an FDA approved closed system. This closed system eliminates odor and mess completely. You never have to leave the table until your session is completely over. You intake water until you have the need to release and when you release, the machine takes out the debris and water you release and you are able to see what you have expelled through a glass tube in the water system if you choose to see. If not, you can simply not look at it. All the work is done for you and all you have to do is relax.
We also offer Ionic Foot Baths.The ion spa works to dramatically remove toxins from your body through your foot. The foot spa accomplishes this by energizing the water. The ionSpa's control head delivers enough of an electrical current through the ionizor to generate positively charged ions. These ions** travel through the body and attach themselves to toxic substances, thereby neutralizing these toxins' negative charges. After being neutralized, toxin particles are pulled through the skin and out of the body via osmosis, attracted by the highly-concentrated ion field in the ion spa water.
When the ionSpa is set, positive ions are being produced in the water, which raises the user's pH to a more alkaline state. Why is this significant? The vast majority of people in the United States live in an acid state and their bodies contain an excess of hydrogen ions and their blood pH is lower than 7.45. Such persons greatly benefit from exposure to high concentrations of positively charged ions, bringing their bodies back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state.
First, a container is filled with enough water to cover the top of the module. The timer is then turned on and set for 30 minutes allowing the bio-charge and negative ions to permeate the water. When the bath is complete, the unit shuts off automatically. During a footbath the water will slowly begin to change color. Depending upon the individual taking the footbath , the color may show anything from a milky white to a very dark brown. A chart is avaialble to view to signify the change in color of the water to allow you to see firsthand what you are expelling through the pores of your feet.Often a gentle tingling sensation can be felt during the bath.
What is the significance of color? Believe it or not, it is important to eat a variety of colorful foods in order to assure balanced chemistry. Every color is a chemical and has a chemical value. Chemical components of foods contribute to their acid-alkaline balance. As a general rule, Green Foods nourish the immune system, especially the liver and gall bladder. Red Foods nourish the endocrine system, including the pituitary gland, as well as the heart and small intestines. Orange Foods nourish the joints. Yellow Foods nourish the digestive system, including the spleen, stomach, and pancreas. Yellow-green foods nourish the kidney, bladder, urinary tract, female/prostate area.Brown Foods nourish the liver. White Foods nourish the respiratory system, namely the lungs, but also the large intestines, lymphatic system and skin. Black Foods nourish the circulatory system, kidneys, liver, gallbladder and bladder. By the same token, when the water is changing colors, each color represents the part of the body that is being detoxified. One of the most visual effects is the discoloration of the water, but while the color changes in the water can be dramatic, it is not the most important factor and one must be careful about making any judgments based only on the water color.
The human body is electric because our cells are electric. Disorders and diseases of the body have vibrational frequencies that are incompatible with healthy cells; thus, they disrupt the cells' natural oscillation and polarity. This disruption creates imbalance and chaos within each affected cell. When cells are in an imbalanced state, they are unable to facilitate the body's functions needed for healing, including ridding itself of heavy metals, parasites and other toxins. But when cells are fully charged, they have more oxygen and are able to experience electrical balance, which results in a feeling of a healthy attitude, vitality, well-being, and enables the body to heal itself. This balance increases our sense of awareness and our sense of the mind/body/spirit connection. Darkfield studies have shown the machine significantly improves oxygen levels.
An overall balancing effect occurs, along with a significant increase in the number of negative ions. Ions are atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons [Free radicals are unpaired electrons]. If the atoms or molecules lose electrons, they become positively charged ions. If they gain electrons, they become negatively charges ions. The ionic technique of cleansing thru feet provides a full body purge of all vital organs, resulting in reduced menopause symptoms, menstrual cramps, sexual health problems, skin problems, acne, sleep problems, restlessness, stress, toothaches, vaginal dryness, wrinkles, candida and yeast infections. The internal cleansing also results in faster disease healing and injury recovery.
Water has an almost perfect balance of positive and negative ions. Since the body is composed of about 70% water, its ability to interact with water is very high. When you immerse a body mass into water, the vibrational frequency of the water will affect the vibrational frequency of the body due to the interaction of the magnetic and electrical fields.It is painless, with no drugs, and no harmful side effects.
So as you can see, water plays a HUGE role in the health and wellness of our bodies. Everyone has heard why we should drink 8-10 glasses of water a day...well this proves why the old addage rings true. Humans have a vital dependency on the properties of water....the most vital being health and the maintenance of health. With 70 % of your entire body being made of water, why wouldnt you want that water to be as clean as possible??!!
We also offer ozonated implants. Ozonated implant is simply adding the ozonated water in your colon at the end of your session. Why you ask?Freshly ozonated water will detoxify (detox) your body and boost your immune system and your energy, because the extra molecules of oxygen are still in the water, and available for your body to absorb. As well, it will detoxify your body, cleansing and purifying the blood, lymph, glands, tissues, and cells. Ozone is a powerful NATURAL detoxifier! Scientists, doctors, and researchers have shown that toxins, bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing agents are eliminated by saturating the cells with oxygen. The journal "Science" (Aug/1980) printed an article: "Ozone Selectively Inhibits Growth of Human Cancer Cells". For many years, ozone has been administered as a main stream therapy by German medical doctors.Freshly ozonated water, consumed within 20 minutes of making it, will boost your energy and your immune system, because the extra molecule of oxygen is still in the water, and available for your body to absorb. Please note, that you cannot buy freshly ozonated water--you need to ozonate it within minutes before absorbing it. Bottled water that says "ozonated" on the label, has been treated with ozone to kill the viruses and bacteria, but the ozone evaporates very soon afterward (even if the bottle is capped). Furthermore, drinking water bottled in plastic absorbs the chemicals from the plastic, and the ozone accelerates the absorption of the chemicals into the water. Thus, drinking ozonated water bottled in plastic is NOT the same thing as absorbing ozonated water. When you buy bottled water which has been ozonated, it is indeed sterilized to protect you from pathogens, but the ozone has long since evaporated before it reaches the store shelf, so your body does not get the immune system boost.In 1952, the National Cancer Institute endorsed the findings of Dr. Otto Warburg, Nobel Prize winner. Dr. Warburg stated: "Cancer has only one prime cause--the replacement of normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic (oxygen-less) cell respiration."
The journal "Science" (Aug/1980) printed an article "Ozone Selectively Inhibits Growth of Human Cancer Cells".
Ozone findings:
*Research staff of Medical College of Washington University in the United States discovered that ozone restricts the growth of cancer cells
*More than 200 US drinking water plants use ozone to treat the water.
*Japan Company testified that ozone is the best vegetable disinfectant. Ozone is used to sterilize the jars before baby food is put in them. The FDA approved ozone in 2001 to kill food borne pathogens by applying it directly to food.
*China Medical Academy of Science testified that ozone could get rid of gonococcus, and that it decomposes heavy metals in the water.
* Ozone oxides poisonous materials rapidly; sterilization ability is 600--3000 times stronger than Chlorine. Ozone kills E-coli 3125 times faster than chlorine. Some swimming pools/spas use ozone because it is a strong disinfectant, but converts back into oxygen so does not have harmful effects like chlorine.
* Some washing machine manufacturers are planning to add an ozone generating mechanism to their machines, to increase the dirt, odor, and bacteria removal from laundry.
