Frequently Asked Questions

The colon (also known as the large intestine) is located at the end portion of the digestive tract. It ranges from about 5 ½ to 6 feet in length. The main functions of the colon are threefold: to absorb water and vitamins/electrolytes from indigestible food matter, to accept and store food remains that were not digested in the small intestine and to eliminate solid waste (feces) from the body. The colon contains nearly 60 varieties of microflora or bacteria to aid digestion, promote vital nutrient production, to maintain pH (acid-base) balance and to prevent proliferation of harmful bacteria.

A typical colon cleansing usually lasts 40 to 60 minutes so as to achieve effective colon cleansing without causing electrolyte and hydration imbalances. In most cases, a patient should expect to undergo six (6) sessions if he or she wishes to cleanse the entire length of the colon.

It is believed that a lot of accumulated waste in our colon stems from processed foods and polluted air that we have consumed throughout the years, thereby producing a sticky waste in our large intestine that results from fluids being absorbed during the digestive process.

You do not need a doctor’s prescription. If you are concerned about your health and or colon, you should consult a doctor. If you are diagnosed with diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, severe hemorrhoids, rectal or intestinal tumors, you will not be a candidate for colon hydrotherapy.
