The colon hydrotherapy

Our immune system is at 80% in the colon and small intestine. The intestine’s mucous membrane is the most important immune system against extraneous substances and toxins. In second place follow the known detoxification organs liver, kidneys, lymphs, lungs and the surface of the skin. It is not without reason that we say a little drastically: „Death begins in the intestines.“ Already in 1931 the German biochemist, doctor and physiologist Prof. Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883 – 1970) obtained the Nobel prize for medicine for „The discovery of the nature and function of the ferment of respiration” (anaerobic glycolysis). He found that a weakened immune system favours the formation and growth of cancer cells in a considerable way due to a disturbed metabolism of the intestine. Moreover, he discovered 80 years ago the abnormal sugar consumption of cancer cells!

Nowadays many people suffer from a disturbed symbiosis of the intestinal flora which contributes to the formation of our so-called illnesses caused by civilization. Because of sterilized and denatured food, wrong way of life and bad nutrition, environmental damage, toxins, thoughtless use of medicine, hectic pace and stress as well as lack of exercise the balance between the human being and his microbes (bacteria) in the intestine is disturbed in a lasting way. Sooner or later it comes to an auto-intoxication, i.e. the intestine intoxicates itself and our body. This way the oxygen cannot be transported sufficiently into our tissue and waste products of the metabolism and toxins cannot be removed and eliminated quickly enough. For our organism begins a real vicious circle.

First this auto-intoxication manifests itself in form of unspecific dysfunctions like loss of vitality, lifelessness, bad moods and an increased susceptibility to infections which can lead to lack of concentration, aggressiveness, states of panic and depressions. At a purely physical level functional intestinal problems and diseases like infections, inflammations, rheumatism, polyarthritis, acne, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, overweight, high blood pressure, migraine and many other diseases can be the consequence which can be attributed to an intestine that does not work properly. Also the organic diseases of the intestine often have to do with chronic deposits and intoxications: colitis, Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease and lactose intolerance can be eased or cured with the colon hydrotherapy when the nutrition is adjusted at the same time.

The colon hydrotherapy is a simple and efficient method, which is not enough appreciated in its effect, in order to liberate the intestine from stagnating stool and by-products of decay. Due to this cleansing process symptoms which directly or indirectly have to do with a weakened intestinal flora can be removed or the patient’s quality of life can be improved considerably.

During the therapy the patient lies relaxed on a treatment couch. Via a small plastic tube water (enriched with oxygen, lactic acid bacteria etc.) is introduced into the intestine with different temperatures. With a gentle massage of the abdominal wall one can feel existing „constipated areas“ and lead the water precisely into the respective intestinal area. Via a closed tube system the water and the removed intestinal substances are extracted. This way you get a simple but intense cleansing of the intestine.

The colon hydrotherapy does not cause pain. On the contrary: usually the patient perceives the therapy as pleasant and liberating. Because of the closed tube system there are no unpleasant “side effects“ like smells.

The colon hydrotherapy is like a course of treatment, i.e. usually it takes several treatments to liberate the intestine completely from its deposits. Accompanying measures like the adjustment of the nutrition and more exercise reinforce the success of the colon hydrotherapy. In the end, the colon hydrotherapy, applied at regular intervals in a preventive way, is a perfect measure to prevent states of exhaustion and diseases.
