How do I know Colon Hydrotherapy will be useful for me?

It is our belief that everyone can benefit from a gentle colon cleansing. Today's diets consist in great part of refined and processed foods, and are high in saturated fats and low in fiber. We believe eating these foods, overeating, ignoring the call to eliminate, stress, allergies and medications can contribute to poor colon health.

The colon contains the largest concentration of bacteria in the body. Waste material allowed to stagnate alters the proportion of friendly bacteria to unfriendly bacteria, disrupting the balance of microorganisms essential to the health of the colon and the body in general. Symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating, or gastrointestinal pain may alert you to colon distress. In the case of a serious heart condition or acute inflammatory conditions of the colon such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease, either Dr. Pulnik or your physician can best determine the appropriateness of the procedure.

From a naturopathic perspective, cleansing the colon may be valuable in minimizing the effects of dietary and environmental stresses as well as the impact on the immune system of toxins regularly bombarding us.  During colon hydrotherapy, we believe that the body eliminates toxins, so you become more fit to fight disease, in addition to your feeling more relaxed.
