Any discussion on elimination of body waste inevitably includes the creation of that waste. The food we eat makes a difference in the body’s ability to effectively produce, as well as move out waste by-products and toxic residues. Our culture promotes the consumption of masses amounts of empty calories, and often refined and heavily processed foodstuffs, which result in sticky, slimy, sludgy material at the other end. Our bodies were not designed to process and thoroughly evacuate this junk! Dealing with unnatural dietary choices creates stress for the body, and eventually takes it’s toll.

Dis-ease most often originates in the gut.

On a daily basis, I see a direct correlation between the body’s ability to effectively and efficiently eliminate waste and the food people consume. We truly are a culture of overfed, yet starving and toxic individuals.

Mark Hyman, MD has insights and info to about this dilemma. The “normal” standard American diet (SAD) is making us chronically fat, sick and stressed. The crowded hospitals and medical clinics in this country reflect this fact like a blaring fog light. If this paradigm continues unabated, we’ll be fast approaching disaster on a track with no breaks.

“The mistake is to think that if you eat an abundance of calories, your diet automatically delivers all the nutrients your body needs. But the opposite is true. The more processed food you eat, the more vitamins you need. That’s because vitamins and minerals lubricate the wheels of our metabolism, helping the chemical reactions in our bodies run properly. Among those biochemical processes greased by nutrients is the regulation of sugar and burning of fat. The problem is that the standard American diet (SAD) is energy dense (too many calories) but nutrient poor (not enough vitamins and minerals). Too many “empty calories” confuse the metabolism and pack on the pounds.”

I would add that these habits greatly tax the entire digestive system.

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.

Well, it’s not really poop that I exclusively love. It’s the people who come into Oasis Colonics for the purpose of rinsing it out of their colons, and watching it flow down the drain. “Bye-bye, old, built-up, toxic waste matter! Hello, feel better!”

Really, I love everything about my clients, inside and out, including their poop!

It’s not such a shitty business.

When my clients leave feeling lighter, clearer and more hopeful about their healing journey, it warms my heart, and makes me feel grateful and honored to be a part of that.

Too Thin? Too heavy? Digestive issues? Gas? Itchy butt?

Is your body infested with parasites that are causing weight-related health issues?

Parasites come in many shapes and sizes. They are sometimes as large as worms, but parasites are actually most often microscopic organisms, rarely distinguished by the naked eye..

n. par·a·site  (pr-st)

Check out these indicators to gain insight:

If you answered Yes to even one of these questions, you may be one of the millions of North Americans suffering with a parasitic infestation – and not even know it!

Parasites are much more common than most people realize.

Prepare the colon for ridding built up debris. Soften the old waste, loosen the thick, built up mucous, increase your intake of probiotics, drink calcium bentonite clay, take some vermifuge herbs…

Then rinse the little buggers out with a series of colonics!

Matt Monarch, one of my favorite and endearingly enthusiastic health proponents, offers us Part III of his “Detoxing Into the Spiritual” series, with more inspiration about the kinds of “spiritual” experiences we can look forward to when our bodies are detoxed through clean whole foods, coupled with clearing out intestinal waste by colonic irrigation.

Many people find, as I did and still do, that when you eat clean foods, and cleanse the colon for years, physical food cravings diminish or disappear altogether. No more fighting the “sugar demons” and “bread gremlins.” Freedom from appetite slavery is worth the effort and investment.

“Health is a side benefit for a spiritual lifestyle.” ~Matt Monarch

Some poignant quotes from Matt’s recent video:

• Without the colonics it is very, very, very difficult to bring the spiritual vibration higher, [i.e.] by diet alone.
• Without colonics you can’t go as far [into the detox process].
• When you do colonics more than just your feces comes out. You get invisible gases, acids, and things like this…when you do colonics you eliminate this invisible waste which is gas…it’s a pressure that’s pushing against your cells.
• Doing colonics would make your life a lot easier.
