It's here again, the day of love, of self-love, of relationship-love. I want to pass some new information on to you that appeared in the: " Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients " , in their: August/September 2000 issue (#205/206). And guess what the topic is of the article? " Value of Colon Hydrotherapy Verified by Medical Professionals Prescribing It. " Maybe a few words in this article will inspire you to take even better care of yourself and create more self-love, self-respect, and self-knowledge. For more information on this article you can go to: http://www.drmortonwalker.com mortwalk@... Or you may contact the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy. http://www.i-act.org I'll share a few highlights of the article mainly in the form of quotes. Leonard MD Gainesville FL Gastrointestinal Surgeon 'It turns out that colon hydrotherapy is the gentlest and most effective treatment to take care of a sick person's constipation problem. My recommendation for cancer patients is that they should undergo frequent colon hydrotherapy procedures to make sure a colon's toxic burden is being kept at a minimum while their bodies are trying to heal.' 'It's a fact that most people fail to fully evacuate the colon, something they don't realize. People undergoing colon hydrotherapy on a prevention basis become quite surprised at how much waste is removed by the procedure.' 'Without any reservation, I declare that my wish is to see it become an established procedure for many kinds of gastrointestinal problems. If medical centers, hospitals and clinics installed colon hydrotherapy departments, they would find such departments just as efficacious for patients as their present treatment areas which are devoted to physiotherapy.' Flashner MD Wellesley MA General Surgeon and Emergency Medicine Flashner is a CAM doctor. He adapts his treatments almost completely to Complementary and Alternative Medicine. 'He has incorporated Colon Hydrotherapy as a regular CAM technique.' He describes the case of Tommy, an eight year old boy with severe constipation. 'I improved the child's diet and removed all junk foods. Then I instigated an exercise program, had him drink lots of water, balanced his colonic flora and added fiber food supplements. But most vital for Tommy's welfare is that he took colon hydrotherapy under my prescription. The beneficial effect was dramatic for within six months he was experiencing a natural and normal bowel movement every day. 'My approach to medical practice is to balance the GI tract using stool testing. I find various pathologies relating to bacteria, yeast, parasites and other organisms of this nature. A lot of disease comes from imbalances in the colon as manifested by inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, auto immune diseases, allergies, multiple sclerosis and certainly constipation. Such imbalances can be corrected by means of colon hydrotherapy, herbal supplements and diet.' Sharda Sharma MD Millburn NJ Dr Sharma has a wholistic medical practice that includes colon hydrotherapy, chelation therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, reiki and more. 'I have trained and certified colon hydrotherapists working as part of my staff...they have been rendering care for constipation, abdominal cramps, allergies and a variety of other conditions including ten patients with hepatitis C. These hepatitis patients respond to colon hydrotherapy and do well.' 'A forty-two year old high school teacher had suffered with constipation and no bowel movements for six days at a stretch. She was bloated, fatigued, lethargic, headachy and crampy. My treatment choice for her was enzyme supplements and colon hydrotherapy twice weekly for thirteen weeks. These treatments solved the constipation problem.' 'Colon hydrotherapy is excellent as a treatment for the yeast syndrome.' Gerber MD Reno NV Dr Gerber has had colon hydrotherapy in his office for 25 years and he appreciates the immense improvement in the equipment over the years. He describes the FDA approved high tech equipment and the process itself. 'The benefits of colon hydrotherapy extend all the way from psychiatric improvement to constipation elimination.' Emil Sayegh MD Chesapeake VA Urology Dr Sayegh's practice spans sixty years and he has a large male clientele who have sought hi s help correcting Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and prostatitis. Listen up, guys! 'These two common medical difficulties are closely associated with having weak abdominal muscles. Those men possessing flaccid and weak abdominal muscles experience enormous pressures on their bladders which never let up.' 'Cleansing the colon markedly assists the functioning of the pathological male bladder and prostate organs. Colon Hydrotherapy given to involved men at two-week intervals for three times to start and then administered every four weeks for an unlimited period does solve prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia.' Brodie MD Reno NV Oncologist and Homeopath Dr Brodie 'has developed complementary and alternative (CAM) methods for treating cancer and other degenerative diseases aimed at strengthening the immune system. He emphasizes natural and humane approaches to these conditions with colon hydrotherapy being among them.' 'I do recommend that most of my cancer patients take colon hydrotherapy because they often improve by having such treatment. Liver cancer in particular shows benefit from colon hydrotherapy but any internal tumors show effectual change too.' Arthur Brawer MD Long Branch NJ Rheumatology 'Silicone breast implant exposure which results in disease symptoms responds very well to colon hydrotherapy. I am in the center of this silicone breast implant controversy by having consulted with over 500 women from around the world for the toxic environmental exposure caused by such implantation...I use colon hydrotherapy for the treatment of such silicone toxicity since it does work to chelate silicone out of the body.' He continues with a clear explanation. For silicone removal and healing he also suggests other detoxifying techniques. 'Colon hydrotherapy is perhaps the best way and also...Ayurvedic medicine, hyperthermia, steam baths, saunas, oxygen therapy, ...reiki and qigong. Any dietary approach has to be more an exclusionary basis - take the patient off processed foods and have them eat organic.' He also lists thirty-three other conditions which respond to colon hydrotherapy such as allergies, acne, cold hands and feet, muscle pain, skin rashes, arthritis, attention deficit disorder, mouth sores, joint aches, multiple sclerosis and seizures. Charm MD Walnut Creek CA Gastroenterologist and Clinical Professor of Medicine at University of California 'Some people don't poop enough! Let's get people thinking about eating and pooping. If these don't occur together, colon hydrotherapy should be employed.' 'I prefer my patients to undergo colon hydrotherapy the morning of colonoscopy. It's a safe way to cleanse the gut.' 'It's a healing technique for the relief of irritable bowel syndrome with gas and bloating, chronic constipation, abdominal discomfort and many other GI tract problems.' Diamond MD Reno NV Medical Director of Triad Medical Center Coauthor of An Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer 'For some patients with chronic constipation or extensive yeast problems, colon hydrotherapy works advantageously to get rid of the physical load of pathology in the gastrointestinal tract. This treatment stimulates the liver and gets rid of the debris that's sticking to the mucosa.' He describes one case history which sounds similar to some clients I see. 'A woman, 46, has a long history of antibiotic usage for chronic sinusitis. She is a sugarholic to the extent that her food is totally carbohydrates with hardly any protein or fat. She exhibits a variety of symptoms including extreme fatigue, migraine headaches, irregular menses, chronic constipation, abdominal pain and yeast growing in the bowel... The only program that gave relief was colon hydrotherapy three times a week. It took me a month to get my patient stable but finally the treatment's effect kicked in. The lady did get her bowel cleaned up. She's now experiencing normal stools. I have her following a restrictive protein diet. Her energy is returned. She has been showing normal menses for the last two months. Her migraines disappeared... I needed to get the woman back to normal bowel function, off antibiotics and onto probiotics all the time. Now she takes colon hydrotherapy on a regular once-a-month schedule. She will likely be forced to stay on her therapeutic program continuously.' Janet Beaty ND West Concord MA Beaty, graduate of the prestigious naturopathic college Bastyr in Seattle WA, uses colon hydrotherapy for constipation, to allow other healing modalities to work better, for detoxification, allergies, arthritis and 'any health problems.' 'It is a very helpful tool for nearly any patient in order to get the bowel peristalsis to work. An effective technique for stimulating such peristalsis is to start out with giving colon hydrotherapy using warm water and gradually decreasing the water temperature as treatment continues. This lower temperature tends to stimulate the bowel muscles. The cold temperatures cause good peristaltic action for a retraining of the bowel.' 'The ideal treatment program I follow is that from four to eight weeks the patient receives colon hydrotherapy. This time frame is necessary for unloading ... toxins from the liver.' Beaty tells the story of a 36 year old female patient who had ectopic pregnancies with resulting miscarriages, endometriosis and caesarean pregnancies. 'The solution to my patient's problem of endometrial pain is to take a colon hydrotherapy one week before her period. The pain is then reduced markedly because her usual premenstrual constipation is prevented... She currently takes colon hydrotherapy routinely for improving the quality of her life.' P MD PhD Mandeville LA 'Colon hydrotherapy is an excellent detoxifier for the overindulgence of alcohol drinking and drug addictions of all kinds. Residues of drugs and other agents in the tissues are eliminated with colon hydrotherapy...Colon hydrotherapy should be part of nearly any addict's therapeutic regimen.' My closing comments. As you can see, Colon Hydrotherapy touches men and women's issues and well as a host of other health issues that effect all of us. I hope you have found something is the few quotes that will forward your health practices and bring your self-love alive.
