Colon Hydrotherapy as a Treatment for Cancer
Detailed Introduction
Colon hydrotherapy is used to cleanse the colon of toxins and gas, as well as of accumulated fecal matter, mucus deposits, and biofilm that may be present due to pathogenic infections. It is a gentle treatment that’s more effective than enemas because the cleansing protocol used in colon hydrotherapy is intended to treat the whole colon rather than just a section of it. Colonic hydrotherapy is a helper-therapy for cancer patients and is typically used in conjunction with other treatment options. It helps cancer patients detoxify as cancer cells are dying, which can speed up the healing process and diminish pain due to cancer [1].When someone who is seriously ill, such as a cancer patient, becomes constipated, this can lead to a build-up of toxins in the body. By cleansing the colon, patients can not only avoid constipation but can also remove toxins quickly. Cleansing the colon can then in turn, allow the liver to be detoxified more efficiently. Cleansing the colon also allows the patient to get rid of built-up wastes that have been stored. Impacted fecal matter is rehydrated and removed while all of the digestive organs (including often overlooked digestion-related organs like the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) are optimized to encourage normal bowel functioning [1][2].
When healthy, the colon contains beneficial bacteria that play an important role in pH balance, immunity, and nutrient absorption. A well-functioning large intestine plays an important role in general health and well-being, but not everyone needs to receive a colonic in order to achieve good gut health. Typically, although this treatment can be valuable for anyone with a serious disease like cancer, the cancer patients who are not having at least one bowel movement per day are the ones who would be most likely to benefit from colon hydrotherapy [3].
Safety and Effectiveness
Colonic hydrotherapy has been used since 1500 B.C. to enhance health. This procedure is more effective than enemas because colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire colon, not just the descending colon [1][3].Colon hydrotherapy can relieve the following symptoms in patients with cancer and other serious health problems:
- Appetite changes
- Brain fog
- Low energy
- Sluggishness/lethargy
- Irritability [3]
When waste products build up in the large intestine, mucus and bacteria can ferment in the colon. This fermentation process results in the build-up of toxins which are then released back into the bloodstream. When waste products like this build-up in the body and the patient is not having regular bowel movements, this can lead to poor nutrient absorption as well, which is a contributing factor in the development of symptoms like lethargy and low energy levels/fatigue. Nutrition is also extremely important when it comes to treating diseases, including cancer; in terms of curing cancer, the absorption of nutrients like vitamin B17, for example, is absolutely essential for recovery.
How Colon Hydrotherapy Is Administered
Colon hydrotherapy is performed using sterile, single-use equipment. A gentle flow of water is introduced into the large intestine via the rectum. Although the amount of water varies depending on the patient, up to 16 gallons of water can be used during one colonic hydrotherapy session. Often, colon hydrotherapists will perform a light external massage over the abdomen to promote the removal of toxins from the colon [1][3].Colon hydrotherapy is most often available in boutique health clinics that specialize in this type of treatment. However, some other alternative health clinics may offer colonics in addition to other treatments or services like IV therapies, ozone therapy, or juicing, to name a few.
