Therapy Prep Guidelines

Read these valuable guidelines below to make the most of your colonic investment:

The terrain and environs of a healthy and functional large intestine remind me of a flourishing garden.  In a garden, that is suitable for planting seeds, and growing plants, there exists nourishing, well hydrated soil that includes abundant friendly organisms, as well as aeration and moisture.

Similarly, in a  colon that does what it is suppose to, there exists abundant friendly organisms, as well as aeration and moisture.

Colon hydrotherapy supports the healthy functioning of the lower bowel by providing hydration; clearing out unfriendly, pathogenic, disease-producing bacteria, yeasts and parasites, thereby promoting the colonization of probiotics (friendly bacteria); and loosening up old waste material that can be likened to hardened, crusty, lumpy clumps of ground.

In order to maximize the results of the colonic treatment, a few preparatory steps can be helpful.  Just as the gardener tills up the dirt, and adds beneficial organisms in the form of manure and compost,  the person preparing for their colonic can similarly soften, and break apart “clumps” of toxic waste in the bowel getting ready for the rinse.

Because I want my clients to get the best possible results from their colonic treatments, I like to encourage them to consider the following preparatory guidelines:

Dietary prep can be beneficial in maximizing your colonic results. This prep can vary from person to person. Many people prepare for their series of colonics for a week or two, but even just a day or two helps.  By modifying your diet to include lots of green leafy vegetables, and avoiding refined and complex carbohydrates which convert to sugar in the bloodstream, you will minimize gas blockages in the bowel caused by yeasts. Incorporating cleansing fibers, calcium bentonite clay and herbal support during a series of colonics assists the body in collecting and mopping up old waste material in order that it will rinse out more thoroughly during the colonic. We can talk about this during your first treatment.

Extra fiber for a week or two before the treatment helps to “scrub” and “fluff” dense waste material in the bowel, preparing for more efficient removal.  Two heaping Tablespoons of flaxseed meal mixed into a glass of water, and drunk once or twice per day, are modest and effective prep steps before colonics.

Whether or not you are already on a special cleansing diet or detox program, I normally recommend these few preparatory steps to assist in a more thorough “rinse”:

1)  If possible, have a bowel movement the morning of the colonic to clear the rectum of solid matter.  Better yet, have daily movements for many days before treatment.  Some people can’t, that’s why they come to me.  It is optimal, if possible.

2)  Do your best to include extra fiber to get some ‘scrubbing’ action going. For example, a couple heaping Tablespoons flaxseed meal daily (you may mix it in water, and drink), or a couple teaspoons psyllium husks in water daily–drink quickly before the mixture thickens. During a series of colonics, don’t take large amounts of cathartic herbs, oxygen-based products or large doses of magnesium that make your bowel movements runny.  This irritates the bowel, and interferes with a thorough cleanse.

3) Try to refrain from eating and drinking for a couple hours before colonic so your bladder and stomach are comfortable.

All the good things that you’ve heard about colon cleansing at Oasis Colonics is true! People’s lives change when their colon’s get cleaned out. Detoxification is integral where a sensible approach to health and wellness is concerned.

I don’t mean to sound negative, but frankly, we do live in a toxic, stressful world. Most people realize there are pollutants in every breath of air we breathe, in every drop of water we drink, and even in the food we eat. Our bodies are perfectly designed to handle a reasonable amount of internal bio-waste, but when we are overloaded with toxic chemicals, as we are nowadays, in addition to the natural waste that accumulates, the organs of elimination get maxed out, and can’t function effectively. The result… sickness!

These ten impediments commonly prevent us from thoroughly enjoying life’s simple pleasures:

1. Internal poisons can cause wrinkles, blemishes, psoriasis, eczema and liver spots.
2. Impacted waste disturbs mental function and hastens dementia.
3. A toxic colon can cause acidosis, bloating and yeast infections.
4. Decreased bowel activity can cause foul breath and bad teeth.
5. An unhealthy colon can be related to arthritis and joint pain.
6. A congested lower bowel can cause back pain, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and diverticulitis.
7. An inactive colon can cause weight gain and slow weight loss.
8. Toxins, such as phenol, ammonia, indol, scatole, cresol, cadaverin, botulin, butyric acid, neurin, sepsin, and other highly active poisons, found in a low functioning colon, can increase cancer risk by at least 75%.
9. Waste in the colon putrefies, creates gas, and slows elimination.
10. A toxic bowel can weaken and cause stress to the heart.

Who doesn’t want to kick up their heels, enjoy their summer vacation, play their favorite sports, wrestle with their grandchildren, or walk two miles along a peaceful beach at sunset?

When people begin to contemplate getting colonics, they ask similar questions related to how many colonics would be valuable, and if they should bother with just one, if that is what time and/or finances allow.

Lots of people initially come into Oasis Colonics for one visit. Some of them get very satisfying results right off the bat, and some find that they would benefit from multiple colonics. It is difficult to predict what the outcome of any given colonic will be.

The effectiveness of colonics is directly related to the person’s digestion, diet, hydration and level of stress.

A single colonic can be a valuable diagnostic tool. The way the body responds to the treatment offers insights into the current functioning of the lower bowel, revealing weaknesses and strengths, and often indicates where attention is needed.

Multiple treatments work together to provide the body with much needed hydration. A momentum is often gained by a series of colonics taken relatively close together, or strategically spaced.

Results vary greatly from person to person. When an interested person is unsure about planning a series of multiple colonics, I normally recommend that they schedule one initial treatment in order to evaluate, and determine how they want to proceed after the initial treatment.

Lots more information about colonics, including  pricing, preparation and procedure, can be found throughout the Oasis Colonics website. Feel free to inquire directly by calling 503-752-5068.
