Did you know that consuming an unhealthy diet, a lack of exercise and water, stress and ignoring your body’s call of nature can all lead to problems in your colon? And that colon cancer is the second leading cause of death among North Americans?

At the Colon Clinic & Healing Centre owner and certified colon hydrotherapist Tracy Howard advises her clients that a regular colon cleaning can help improve overall health by clearing out the toxic waste that can accumulate in the body’s six-foot-long large intestine.

What is colon hydrotherapy? Also known as colonic or colon irrigation, colon hydrotherapy is a treatment that puts the equivalent of a bathtub full of warm, purified water into the colon. During the 45 minute treatment, several fill and empty cycles of the colon are performed, softening and loosening built-up waste, while diluting and removing toxins and parasites present in the colon. The waste is evacuated during the session, along with fecal matter, leaving clients feeling great.

What are the benefits? Howard claims that everybody can benefit from colon hydrotherapy because the toxins in the air, pesticide in the soil and preservatives in our food build up in our systems and linger in the colon. One colonic treatment can assist with the evacuation of 10 to 25 pounds of dried fecal matter in the colon, which is the equivalent of 20 to 30 regular bowel movements.

A clean colon will improve digestion, encourage better absorption of nutrients, as well as increase energy and result in an overall sense of better health.

Are there any side effects? Unfortunately, all beneficial bacteria in the colon is flushed out during a colonic session. Therefore, Howard offers her clients several different types of implants to help replenish the body’s supply of good bacteria. 

- Chlorophyll implants work to deodorize and soften built-up material while removing gases and introducing friendly flora into the colon.

- Coffee implants stimulate the liver and colon to encourage the release of toxic water and help achieve a deep cleanse.

- Bentonite implants help remove radiation from the body and are suggested for use after an x-ray. The powerful implant also helps draw heavy toxins from the body and is especially helpful when suffering from a cold or the flu.

- Aloe vera implants also helps remove radiation from the body while healing inflammation or intestinal ulcers.

- Citricidal impants help with parasite and yeast cleansing.
