Colonic Hydrothrapy

Colon hydrotherapy, or colonic irrigation, is a process that uses water to flush away the excess waste in the colon. Working as an intestinal cleanser, colon hydrotherapy can relieve wind, constipation, and even cure diseases.

The practice began in ancient times in Egypt, perhaps even as early as 1500 B.C. and was recorded in a medical document known as the Eber Papyrus, where enemas and colon hydrotherapies were used by physicians to treat fever and remove mucus. The ancient Greeks also used colonic irrigation to remove food, bile, blood, and to treat disease.

In the 19th Century, it was considered that the bacteria associated with the colon could be cleansed, and toxins eliminated from the body by creating a flushing system that worked with gravity. In 1908, Russian scientist Elie Metchnikoff received the Nobel Prize for research on immunity, and found that diseases occur due to the build up of toxins in the body, finding that intestinal toxins actually shorten a person’s life. Using colon hydrotherapy, the positive bacteria are balanced and a sense of well-being is achieved.

In modern times, a physician by the name of John H. Kellogg, was celebrated for his invention of Corn Flakes and Rice Crispies, but most importantly on his talks and speeches on proper hygiene and healthy foods, soon creating a following for colon hydrotherapy. Kellogg initiated the popularity of colon hydrotherapy as a means to clean the internal body naturally, while eating a high fibre diet and many fresh vegetables. In the early 1900's in Battle Creek, Michigan he used colon therapy on some forty thousand of his patients. In 1917 he reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that in all but 20 cases he used no surgery for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in his patients.

Soon, Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane found that the bowel was the source of many health problems, and that toxins within the colon are the causes of all disease. Lane went on to author the book, The Prevention of The Diseases Peculiar to Civilization, in 1929. Another interesting fact is that Lane noted he was never aware of a single case of cancer that was not preceded by prolonged intestinal stasis.
