Key Points for Colon Hydrotherapy  

1) Hydration – the Angel of Water can deliver water safely and comfortably to a patient via the colon, which not only hydrates the colon but also affects and introduces more water to the liver and bloodstream via the portal vein. Water is the single most important solution to act as a medium to hydrate the patient. The human body has about 5 liters of blood but about 48 - 60 liters of total moisture in all the cells. Vital water brings nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells! The colon is a reclamation site and water is the best agent for cleansing the  internal environment. Water is the very genesis of life.

2) Peristalsis – improved hydration improves peristalsis of the colon. Muscular performance of the bowel is enhanced with the simple introduction of water and by the science of hydraulics!  The wavelike hydraulic action of water re-nourishes the impacted, de-hydrated or static bowel and empowers the tissues to get moving again! The Angel of Water’s ergonomic basin design has been field tested for two decades. It ensures the patient’s proper position and angle of the torso during the colon hydrotherapy session to encourage maximum peristalsis. The Angel of Water’s reclining chair experience also allows the patient to relax and enjoy the session.

3) Sanitation – water is the single most important element to hygiene! “The solution to pollution is dilution.”  By improving hydration and peristalsis of the bowel and the body, we can create a more hygienic terrain within the body. This sets a successful stage for externally introduced/preparatory measures (endoscopes, x-rays, or surgery). Doctors prepare their external environment by implementing disinfection protocols for instruments and the procedure room, but leave the colon unnoticed. This home of billions of microorganisms can negatively affect the outcome of the Doctor’s best efforts. Clean out the colon and set the stage for wellness!

Reasons for Colon Hydrotherapy 

• Prior to endoscopic and radiological purposes.   Irrigating the colon immediately before an endoscope saves the patient from having to consume saline solutions and magnesium sulfate drinks, all of which make for an uncomfortable night of sleep prior to the procedure. Research has shown most patients don’t consume the necessary amount of the drinks and actually detest the preparatory solutions, not the endoscope. Procedures can be prescribed and executed within an hour with the use of colon hydrotherapy. Not only does this save time for the doctor it is safer and less traumatic for the patient. Most patients find the colon hydrotherapy session liberating and enjoy a sense of well being afterwards.  
• Other medical reasons.   Stress, poor diet and lack of water are at the heart of constipation and fecal impaction of the colon.  Millions of people yearly suffer from back up of the bowel and seek symptomatic remedy through laxatives or purgatives, which can irritate the lining of the bowel and create swings in bowel performance.  Cleaning out the bowel through colon irrigation with the simplicity of clean water affords the patient relief without negative side effects. Bowel training also occurs through strengthening the muscular performance of the bowel.  This provides the doctor and clinic staff an opportunity to instruct the patient on useful lifestyle habits in stress management, nourishing and healthy bulk producing diets, as well as the use of more water in the diet. 
• Anti–Aging purposes.   More and more doctors on the forefront of anti-aging are realizing that cellular health is a function of nourishing cells with predominately alkaline-forming quality foods and assisting the cell to empty its wastes.  By-products of cellular metabolism are acid compounds that MUST leave the body.  Otherwise these wastes damage tissues, invite bacterial proliferation, viral distribution, and fungal growth to name just a few problems.  This scenario challenges the body’s immunity and well being.  Wastes are emptied into the alkaline-stable bloodstream to be carried out of the body through excretory channels.  The largest repository of waste in the body is the colon.  When the colon is not eliminating effectively over some period of time (due to reasons stated above, stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of water), the resulting recycling of microscopic waste material occurs through the colon wall through the portal vein into the liver. This unnecessarily burdens the entire body and all its organ systems, which are interconnected.  Eighty per cent of the blood that goes into the liver is from the digestive tract and is venous blood.  The largest concentration of lymph nodes is concentrated in the abdominal cavity surrounding the small and large intestine.  Is it any wonder?  This is where the largest concentration of septic (causing putrefaction) wastes is located.  Removing this waste by colon irrigation relieves this burden on the system (providing an antiseptic environment) and allows the innate intelligence of the body to harmonize quicker.  Homeostasis, immunity, and general well being are more easily achieved.  Those who have not been well for any reason can testify to the validity of the immediate positive effects on the entire system and sense of well being after receiving colon irrigation.  When cells are nourished and wastes emptied, then cellular health and cellular reproduction are better and thus the positive effects on anti-aging.  Dr. Maria Sulindro M.D. in Pasadena, California, who uses the Angel of Water® in her anti-aging clinic, concurs: Nourish with real food, cleanse with water, and provide the other co-factors of creation such as clean air and adequate sunlight and we can experience the vital life balance!
