Oasis Colonics

I often tell my clients that colon cleansing is like cleaning out your closet.

Before you can actually take the water bucket to the baseboards, you must move out the junk…old basketballs, outdated heels, moth-eaten sweatshirts, dirty unmatched socks, clothes never worn, holey sport shoes and stuff that your naughty dog dragged in (let’s not even imagine what that might be!)

Colon cleansing presents a similar scenario. To efficiently rinse the large bowel with the water from the colonic devise, it helps to first remove the excess, built-up material  that lines the colon wall. Sometimes this is, in effect, like moving out old basketballs…well, let’s say golf balls or ping-pong balls in order to paint a more realistic picture. You’d be as astounded as I am to see the massive amounts of old waste material flowing out of people’s colons.

The colonic is like the rinse cycle after the scrubbing has been accomplished. That’s why preparation can maximize the results of the colonic procedure. Extra fiber, such as flax seed meal, pea hull fiber, chia seeds, pectins and/or psyllium husks, as well as bentonite clay and proprietary blends of herbs all serve to soften, break apart and draw out toxins through the layers of the bowel wall. This gets the waste hydrated and fluffed up for more effective elimination. Avoiding refined foods, and eating lots of green, leafy vegetables also helps to more effectively cleanse the colon.

Why multiple colonics? Occasionally a person will eliminate copious streams of waste material during their first colonic. Most often, however, the old, built-up, dehydrated material needs to be prepared for more effective release. First colonics are often similar to priming a pump. Did you ever push the handle on a well expecting water to immediately pour out the spout? We might be inclined to think that there is no water in the well when it doesn’t start to flow out right away. With patient pumping, the water finally gushes out. This is priming the pump.

Our colons will often react in the same manner. At the first colonic a soaking process starts, and we often see substantially more waste come out in subsequent treatments. Colonic treatments always build on each other, with increasing amounts of waste evacuating with each colonic in a series. Oasis Colonics offers value package pricing to encourage maximum cleansing benefits from colonic irrigation.

One of the most important attributes of colon hydrotherapy is that it hydrates the whole body, not just the colon!

You may be drinking water, yet still be dehydrated due to an abundance of dried mucous and waste material inside the colon.

Each day the colon recycles over 70% of important body fluids including, electrolytes, enzymes, hormones and more through the process of absorption. Colonics hydrate the cell tissue in the colon wall to promote this process.

A hydrated colon is essential for the other organs of digestion. The small intestine, stomach, liver, gall bladder and pancreas depend upon this hydration to produce their digestive fluids. The colon hydrates the blood and lymph fluids, which in turn hydrate the body’s cells, including skin cells.

These hydrated cells can more effectively release stored toxins from every organ system. The average American holds over 200 major toxins throughout their body!

In today’s toxic world, our bodies are stressed. Stressed bodies benefit from a relaxing, hydrating bath the same way stressed bowels benefit from a hydrating session of colon hydrotherapy.

When plain, pure, clean water is allowed to flow directly into the lower bowel, it can effectively hydrate the colon, as well as the entire body. The colonic procedure is gentle, non-invasive, and as natural as soaking in a bathtub. Go ahead, and take the dive. Your skin will be happy too!

I am often asked how long it takes to get the colon nice and clean.

Truth be told, colonics can greatly accelerate the process of colon cleansing, and, in turn, colonics can accelerate the process of whole body detox. This treatment, however, is not the same as calling Roto-Rooter to flush your clogged drain in one fell swoop. Truth be told again, colon cleansing will likely take you longer than you might initially expect. Repetition is the key to thorough success.

What does not come out of you when you start your colon cleansing journey might be as surprising as what does come out during a colon hydrotherapy session. I often chuckle about the fact that colonics are like fishing. You never really know what the catch-of-the-day will be.

Oasis Colonics offers value package pricing in order to maximize results with less expense. Certainty lies in the fact that most of my clients feel increasingly better after every treatment. Feel free to call us for more information that might pertain to your unique internal plumbing needs.

When preparing for a series of colonics, I normally advise my clients to eat extra fiber supplements in order to soften and loosen built-up fecal material that has been accumulating, and sitting around in the bowel for sometimes a very long time. Psyllium husks is commonly used for this purpose.

Go slow, though, because psyllium can do such a remarkable job of mopping up old debris that the intestinal tract can become overwhelmed with all the waste that needs to exit! Psyllium expands 20+ times it’s weight while transiting through your bowel. Even just one rounded teaspoon everyday, for a week or so before your colonic, can go a long way to help maximize your results.

Psyllium whole husks:

• promote regularity and growth of healthy gut bacteria;
• help with occasional constipation;
• provide heart-healthy soluble fiber

Psyllium husks are an invaluable tool in colon cleansing. However, psyllium happens to be one of the most highly contaminated crops from pesticide residues and poor farming practices. I recommend using ONLY psyillium husks that are grown organically and USDA certified. This is the brand that is available for purchase at my colonic studio, as well as through the Oasis Colonics Online Store.

Fiber Harmony Organic Psyllium has the soluble and insoluble fiber that provides colon cleansing power without the poisons normally found in other psyllium products.

Fiber Harmony Organic Psyllium is:

• certified organic by a USDA-accredited certifying agent;
• available plain, as well as natural, tasty orange, chocolate and peach;
• every 12-ounce canister contains 48 servings

Soluble fiber that can propel food, sugars, cholesterol and fats cleanly through your digestive tract. Soluble fiber can, also, contribute beneficially to your heart health.

Insoluble fiber acts as a bulking agent to improve your digestive regularity, and to move food more quickly through your colon.

Nutritionally-minded Dr. Joseph Mercola likes it too!

Dr. Richard Schultz, formulator of a popular line of colon cleansing products and body detox protocol is quoted as saying, “Cleanse the colon, and over 90% of all diseases disappear.”

Can you imagine if no one picked up the garbage in your city for a month straight?

It would be putrid and full of disease, stench, bacteria, viruses, worms and parasites!

That’s what happens to the “inner city” in each of us when waste builds up in our lower bowel. After years of poor eating habits and less than thorough elimination, chronic constipation and/or bouts of diarrhea or loose stool places a great toll on the body. Often the bowel lining becomes irritated, and the peristalsis (muscular movement of waste) becomes ever less efficient as the years roll on.

Many experts now believe that the average American is carrying around 5 – 20 pounds of impacted fecal matter! As a colonic therapist, I observe this on a daily basis. It is not uncommon for us to watch 10 to 15 feet of black, tarry or ropey material find it’s way out of the body, and down the drain.

Excessive build-up of toxic waste in the colon is often experienced as:

• gas and bloating caused by an overgrowth of fermented bacteria, yeasts and parasites
  
• sluggish bowels due to sticky feces adhering to the colon wall, creating layers of tough, glue-like plaque material that is not easily evacuated by normal peristalsis
• constipation resulting from hard, dehydrated waste material
  
• diverticulitis caused by feces getting trapped in little pockets along the colon wall which can result in inflammation and/or infection
• inflamed and irritated bowel lining contributing to ulcerative colitis, Chrohn’s disease and cancer
  

The most common health complaints are related to functional disturbances of the digestive organs. Approximately 90% of all visits to hospital emergency rooms are associated with digestive issues.

How might colon hydrotherapy help?

• Colonics can have a solvent effect in the large intestine helping to soften and remove impacted fecal material.
• Colonics can hydrate the entire body. Absorbed water increases the volume of the blood, thereby promoting circulation which results in greater hydration to the cells. This, in turn, can dilute toxins and flush them out of the body through the kidneys and the skin, as well as the colon.
• Colonics can help to reshape distorted, distended and constricted areas of the bowel allowing the natural shape to return.
• Colonics can break down, and assist in the release of old, toxic material so that it can no longer harm the body, or inhibit healthy and thorough elimination.
• Colonics can aid in removing parasites, trapped gas and excessive cellular debris.
• Colonics can help improve muscle tone in the bowel. The build-up of toxic debris weakens the colon wall. The gentle inflow and outflow of purified water stimulates peristaltic activity, thereby exercising the colon muscles.
• Colonics can support the lymph system which furthers promotes the detox process.
