This is a compiled list of medical doctors and their reccomendation for Colon Hydrotherapy

Preprinted with
Permission from the Townsend Letter for Doctor &
Patients
August/September
2000 (#205/206) by Morton Walker, DPM
From the signal
stage of history surrounding ancient Egypt, practices of colon
hydrotherapy in their
most basic
form-enemas or clysters- have provided people with internal cleansings
adjunctive to their
personal
external hygiene. The Ebers Papyrus, from the 14th century BC prescribes
internal cleansing for no less that
twenty stomach and intestinal complaints.
But in the
modern era it fell to J.H. Kellogg, MD, of Battle Creek, Michigan, famous for his invention
of
corn flakes and
various techniques of good hygiene, to popularize colon hydrotherapy. This
happened
from Dr.
Kellogg's publication of his article in the Journal of the American Medical
Association praising
the procedure's
efficacy for saving a dysfunctional large bowel.
That
descriptive article was the impetus for advancement of a highly beneficial
therapeutic method
which has since
flourished in Europe, Asia, Australia, New
Zealand, and North
America. Enthusiastic
expressions of
approval for colon hydrotherapy are undeniable medical endorsements for this
significant
complementary
treatment which removes metabolic waste from a person's large bowel without
applying
toxic agents of
any kind.
A
Gastroenterologist Prescribes Colon
Hydrotherapy
Board certified
as a gastroenterologist since 1972, Robert Charm, MD of Walnut Creek, California, a
clinical
professor of medicine at the University of California, combines conventional
allopathic medicine
with CAM (complimentary alternative medicine) in his practice.
He also continues to make house calls.
" I prescribe
colon hydrotherapy by calling upon a superbly trained practitioner of the art in
the San Francisco
Bay area.
She is certified by I-ACT. Also, I am very impressed by the sophisticated
technology as illustrated
by the colon hydrotherapy equipment. From my observation, it's engineered quite
well, "
affirms the
gastroenterologist.
" Frequently
while performing colonoscopy, I see that the patient is cleaned out from above
but below the
diverticular still contain fecaliths, those small turds remaining in pocket form
on the gut mucosa.
They indicate the
presence of an unhealthy colon, and over 50 percent of Americans possess
diverticulosis
colae. When
inflamed, gastroenterologist called them diverticulitis colae, which can be
serious by
creating
fistulas. Some people then will poop through their bladders. Some women actually
poop
through the
vagina, Dr. Charm says. " With patients for whom I perform colonoscopy, about
one third of
them over the
age of fifty who are otherwise cleaned above, still show residual stools sitting
in these gut
mucosa pockets.
Some have held onto the stool pockets for decades. A toxic dumpsite like this
is
dangerous for
them by the elevated concentration of poisons stored in the dumpsite.
Environmental
cancer can
develop!
" A good clean
out by use of colon hydrotherapy is excellent treatment. Surely I recommend
that
people
undertake colon hydrotherapy for themselves. Clean out the body's pipes." Dr.
Robert Charm
suggests. " And
by all means, I prefer my patients to undergo colon hydrotherapy the morning of
a
colonoscopy.
It's safe way to cleanse the gut. It's healing technique for the relief of
irritable bowel
syndrome with
gas and bloating, chronic constipation, abdominal discomfort, and many other GI
tract
problems.
" My patient,
Fran Wilson, a former model, now age forty-one, the mother of two, was just too
busy to
go to the
bathroom. She didn't celebrate having a good bowel movement, which is the
thinking of our
society. For
her, defecation was an annoyance. Fran labored under the mistaken illusion that
pooping
every three
days was normal, and she came to me complaining of feeling logy, fatigued,
bloated and
abdominally
cramped. None of the various drug laxatives had been doing the job for her"
explains Dr.
Charm." Rather,
these drug-like laxatives were depleting Fran of her potassium. The psyllium
seed, fiber,
and other
natural agents did not work either. Therefore I recommended that she undertake a
series of
colon
hydrotherapies and the drinking of more water. This cleared up her discomforts
remarkably fast
despite her
lifetime of bad habits.

" The lesson to
learn is that when one gets the urge to move, you must do so. Being too busy in
our
society to give
into the need to defecate is wrong. Find a way," advises Dr. Robert Charm. "
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.
Cancer Patients
Improve from Receiving Colon
Treatment
" I have found
over the years that cancer patients who are not doing well usual are toxic and
not
being cleansed.
They certainly are in need of colon hydrotherapy," advises oncologist and
homeopath
Douglas Brodie,
MD, of Reno, Nevada. Dr. Brodie has developed CAM(complimentary alternative
modalities)
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 or "colonic
irrigation's"
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," Dr. Brodie says. "It's
better than an enema, which is
merely a lower bowel cleanse, as opposed to a colonic which is a thorough
cleanse of
the entire
bowel. It's similar to comparing the diagnostic efficacy of a sigmoidoscopy of
the short end of
the bowel to a
colonoscopy which takes in the whole bowel. An enema only goes so far. Colon
Hydrotherapy is
the best cleansing and detoxifier for the gastrointestinal tract that anybody
would want. I
do promote its
use.
Colon Hydrotherapy Is
Usual for the Patients of W. John Diamond, MD
For W. John
Diamond, MD medical director of the Triad Medical
Center in Reno, Nevada and
coauthor
of that useful
consumer text, An
Alternative Medicine Definitive Guide to Cancer,
colon
hydrotherapy or
high colonic irrigation's are usual modalities for which he refers his patients.
" 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. The last time I referred my patient to
take colon
hydrotherapy
was just yesterday. There's hardly a week that goes by which does not see me
utilize this
fabulous
treatment for one or more patients. The colon hydrotherapist in this city of
Reno is skilled
and
does a fine
job.
" Let me
describe a particular patient of mine, Mrs. Constance Overmacher, who benefited
from colon hydrotherapy," says Dr. Diamond. "this woman at age forty-six 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
upon testing
EAV(electroacupuncture according
to Voll). Presence of the yeast was confirmed by stool culture
and
blood tests for
yeast antibodies and skin testing."
"For such a
complicated case, I tried every kind of treatment that was appropriated, but
nothing did
any good. The
only program that gave Mrs. Overmacher relief was colon hydrotherapy prescribed
for her to receive three times a week. It took me a month to get my patient
stable but finally the treatments effect kicked in. The lady did get her bowel
cleaned up; she's now experiencing normal stools and I have her following a
restrictive protein diet. Her energy is returned, and she has been showing
normal menses for the last two months. Her migraines disappeared," Dr. John
diamond affirms. " It merely meant that 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. Mrs. Overmacher will
likely be
forced to stay
on her therapeutic program continuously."

Board Certified
Gastrointestinal Surgeon Dr. Leonard Smith Endorses Colon
Hydrotherapy
Thirty years
ago, Leonard Smith, MD, of Gainesville, Florida graduated from medical school
and
eventually
became board certified in general surgery by the American College of Surgery. For more than
twenty-five years Dr. Smith has practiced a specialist in gastrointestinal
surgery. He has dealt with all types of colon difficulties, including operations
for overcoming colon cancer, colon diverticulitis,
appendicitis,
hemorrhoids, and numbers of other internal organ health problems. " I am very
well
acquainted with
the colons functions, and my true belief is that colon hydrotherapy is the
perfect
cleansing
medium for preparing the patient for colonoscopy. It's a much better way of
getting the human colon ready for
an operation than having a patient swallow a gallon that usual pre surgery
solution known as "Colon-Go-Litely." Instead, colon hydrotherapy has the patient
avoid this solution's noxious side effect of vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal
cramping, and other troubles," Dr. Smith says.
"Moreover,
seriously ill patients tend to be chronically constipated which results in
generalized
toxemia. 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." affirms Dr. Smith. " While not a substitute
for eating a high fiber diet.
Those cancer
patients who take colon hydrotherapy often experience the elimination of their
aches and pains,
improvement of appetite, and they tolerated a tough healing process
better.
" I also
believe that normally healthy people will find it valuable to take colon
hydrotherapy every
couple of
months in order to experience how well one feels when the colon is truly empty.
It's a fact that most people
fail to fully evacuate the colon, something they don't realize. People
undergoing colon
hydrotherapy
therapy on a prevention basis, become quite surprised at how much waste is
removed by
the procedure,"
Dr. Smith says.
"Without any
reservation, I declare that my wish is to see it became an established procedure
for
many kinds of
gastrointestinal problems. If medical centers, hospitals, and clinics installed
colon
hydrotherapy
departments, they would find such department just as efficacious for patients as
their
present
treatment areas which are devoted to physiotherapy," states Leonard Smith, MD"
Such is my true belief, and I do endorse this therapeutic
program."
Giving colon
Hydrotherapy is Standard Procedure of Sharda Sharma,
MD
Located in
Millburn, New Jersey as a primary care physician for
nearly twenty-six years, Sharda
Sharma, MD,
dispenses medical care of a multi-disciplinary nature to her patient. Dr. Sharma
employs
colon
hydrotherapy, chelation therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, Reiki
manipulative therapy, and
much more. She
treats the body as a whole (holistically).
"I have trained
and certified colon hydrotherapists working as part of my staff. Under my
supervision
for the past
year-and-a-half they have been rendering care of 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, " assures Dr.
Sharma. " For instance, Mrs. Felicia, a fortytwo-year-high school teacher, had
suffered with constipation-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 to twice weekly for thirteen weeks. These
treatments solved the
constipation problem for Mrs. Felicia. She goes to the toilet as desired without
having to sit there for long
periods waiting, reading, mediation, or undergoing other mental or physical
diversions.
"Colon hydrotherapy is
excellent as a treatment for the yeast syndrome. A very anxious
fifty-year-old
female, Mrs.
Sara Audrey, consulted me because she was running to the toilet every two hours
with
either diarrhea
or with attempting to find comfort from constipation. It turns out that she had
irritable
bowel syndrome
complicated by candidiasis. During the administration of colon hydrotherapy I
observed that Mrs. Audrey was loaded with Candida albicans. I recognized the
white yeast organisms floating through the transparent tube of my colon flushing
device," says Dr. Sharma. " But the patient is now in fine shape-much relieved.
She has good bowel movements twice daily with no gas. This is typical of almost
all patients undergoing colon hydrotherapy."

Dr. Michael
Gerber Uses Colon Hydrotherapy
Routinely
" I've had a
colon hydrotherapy device in my office for twenty-five years, " states Michael
Gerber, MD
of Reno, Nevada. " My present staff person who
dispenses colon hydrotherapy under my jurisdiction
uses it for all
types of patient difficulties. The basic concepts of the science has not changed
much in the last twenty-five years; however, the colon hydrotherapy equipment
has improved immensely. How the equipment works so effectively is nothing short
of astounding. Registered with FDA, current colon
hydrotherapy
equipment is safe. It contains temperature-controlled water mixing and back flow
prevention values, plus pressure and temperature sensors, and built-in chemical
sanitizing units. Water purification units frequently are installed as well.
Disposable single-use rectal tubes, and/or speculae are employed routinely for
sterility.
"Undergoing a
session of colon hydrotherapy has you experiencing comfort and cleansing with
no
toxicity.
Techniques utilized allow a small amount of water to flow into the colon gently
stimulating the
colon's natural
peristaltic action to release softened waste, Dr. Gerber advises. " the inflow
of a small
amount of water
and the release of waste may be repeated again and again. The removal of such
waste encourages better colon function and
elimination.
"During the
treatment, most clothing can continue to be worn. In addition the patient is
draped, or a
gown is worn to
endure modesty. The patient's dignity is always maintained, " Dr. Michael Gerber
affirms.
" The benefits
of colon hydrotherapy extend all the way from psychiatric improvement to
constipation
elimination."
Conditions
responding to Colon Hydrotherapy Cited by Rheumatologist
Arthur E. Brawer, MD
Maintaining a
rheumatology practice for the past twenty-four years in Long Branch, New
Jersey,
Arthur E.
Brawer, MD is an enthusiastic exponent of colon hydrotherapy for a variety of
health problems, He cites this treatment in his recently published consumer
book, Holistic Harmony.
" 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 environment exposure caused by such implantation.
I've given testimony
as a expert witness before the United States Congress on this issue along with
advising the Department
of Health and Human Services, the FDA, and consultants to the President, the
Vice president, the Director of
Women's Health at the White House, and the United Nations. I use
colon hydrotherapy
for the treatment of such silicone toxicity, since it does work to chelate
silicone out of the body," states
Dr. Brawer. "Let me explain!
"From day one
of implantation, silicone micromolecules disperse throughout the body because
the
pore size ( the
porosity) of the envelope or shell enclosing the implant is larger than most of
the silicone molecules
contained inside. Thus, the disease symptoms derived from silicone toxicity is
not dependent on envelope
rupture. Symptoms begin immediately! In other words, the molecules of silicone
travel through the
membrane osmotically and become microdispersed throughout the body by means of
the lymphatic
system," explains Dr. Brawer.
" Now realize
the connective tissue or collagen in each person's body requires silicone as
an
essential
component in order to provide the body with proper architectural structure such
as for tendon, ligaments,
nerve sheaths and everything else. Silicone makes up the glue which holds the
skin together, gives substance
to the organs, act as regulators, signal transmitters, and so forth. It
functions as in integral part of metabolism and
physiology. Thus, all tissues are dependent on silicone as
essential ingredient," Dr. Brawer says. "
But given in excess as a leaking silicone breast implant, there is only
one place the excess may be dumped or
stored by the body-into its connective tissue. When that happens
a whole litany of complaints occur:
joint pains, dry eyes, fatigue, memory lapses, skin rashes
and pigmentation's, chest pains,
muscle aches, drug intolerance, odor and smell sensitivity to hair
sprays, room fresheners, deodorants, and
more (see Disease
Indications).

" So the silicone molecules become
stuck in the body's glue, and they cannot be removed by use
of medications or supplemental
nutrients or diet. Only certain techniques may be applied to detoxify
the body: colon hydrotherapy is
perhaps the best way and also working as detoxifiers are
Ayurvedic medicine, hyperthermis, steam
baths, saunas, oxygen therapy, and the energy-based therapies such
as Reiki therapy and Qigong. Any
dietary approach has to be more an exclusionary basis-take the
patient off of processed foods and have
them eat organic." confirms Dr. Brawer. "But of all the treatments
for symptoms coming from silicone
breast implants, colon hydrotherapy I find to be one of the mainstays
that offer
relief."
Disease
Indications
"Colon hydrotherapy eliminates from the bowel
the repository of accumulated waste material which may disadvantageously get
absorbed. If this absorption takes place, it overwhelms the other
purification organs such as the liver, the
kidney, the skin, and the lungs. The toxin deposition which becomes
lodged throughout the body's tissues and
cells becomes capable of triggering a variety of illnesses,"
says rheumatologist Dr. Arthur E.
Brawer. " There's lots of them. Some disease indications for

Colon Hydrotherapy
is like Cleaning Baked Lasagna from a Pan
According to Pamela Whitney, ND
baked lasagna may be used as a metaphor for colon cleansing. Dr. Whitney, Education Director of the New
England Health Institute, is a
naturopathic physician who practices her profession in two locations, Braintree Massachusetts
and Stowe, Vermont.
Here is how she describes the physical action of colon hydrotherapy:
“If ever you’ve baked lasagna and then attempted to
sanitize the messy, left-over lasagna pan, you know the difficulty with getting
it clean. For sponging such a food caked
pan it’s usual for cooks to soak the pan overnight. Then they find that swabbing it…the next day
is easy. Colon hydrotherapy accomplishes the same ease
of cleansing on the inside of one’s bowel.
Using hydrotherapy, the colon’s walls constantly get flushed with clear
fluid, which serves to remove mucous plus some of their longstanding, caked-on
fecal matter which contains hidden bacteria, parasites, Candida albicans-filled
pockets, and other such pathological material.
From its home office located in
San Antonio, Texas, literature furnished by the
International
Association for Colon Hydrotherapy
or I-ACT defines colon hydrotherapy as a safe, effective method
of removing waste from the large
intestine, without the use of drugs. By introducing pure, filtered
and temperature regulated water into
the colon, the human waste is softened and loosened, resulting
in evacuation thorough natural
peristalsis. This flushing process usually is repeated a few times during
a therapeutic
session.
Colon
hydrotherapy is best used in combination with adequate nutrient and fluid intake
as well as with exercise. The modern and
sophisticated technology applied today, manufactured through
compliance with strict FDA guidelines,
promotes both safety and sanitation of the
procedure.

Dr. Pamela Whitney advises that
her healing program for almost any condition frequently
involves
prescribing colon hydrotherapy. "
I almost always refer my patients to undertake colon cleansing as
the first part of my treatment. I do
this for purposes of detoxification, since most people possess toxic
bowels which may result in either
constipation or diarrhea both coming from the same sources of toxicity,"
she says. "The patient's toxins tend
to kick back to their blood streams to perpetuate numerous
pathologies such as candidiasis, allergies,
chronic fatigue, and other symptoms coming from a recalculation
of accumulated physiological poisons.
"
" I use the services of at least
three skilled colon hydrotherapists who practice near to my two
offices. I don't know of any patient
receiving colon hydrotherapy who has not benefited from it. Certainly
the treatment will get a sluggish
bowel refunctioning again. In my judgment, the action of just one
colon hydrotherapy is an experience
equivalent to someone undergoing twenty coffee enemas, says
Dr. Whiney." What we eat, the
processed foods such as bread, pastas, sugars, and refined deserts hit
the gastrointestinal tract like a
glue-like substances sticks on the walls of one's GI tract to slow down
the individual's metabolic rate.
thereafter, constipation with inflammation can develop, but colon
hydrotherapy solves such a
problem."
As is obvious, Dr. Pamela Whitney
is a great advocate of colon hydrotherapy, which she
prescribes as a standard part of her
treatment.
Christopher J.
Hussar, DO., DDS, Took Colon
Hydrotherapy
From his medical/surgical practice
in Reno, Nevada, osteopathic physician and dental
cavitation
specialist Christopher J. Hussar,
DO,DDS does offer the following personal statement. " I have
enjoyed two colon hydrotherapists
treatments when, at the time, I was experiencing partial bowel
obstruction.
Each colon hydrotherapy had me
feeling better. It's my belief that this treatment should be
recommended for any person who is having
chronic constipation. Then, the local colon hydrotherapist can become
a main factor in keeping that
individual comfortable. I maintain that one should do whatever it takes to
keep up with regular bowel movements.
Colon
hydrotherapy is a safe and natural laxative which works
better than any other
type.
"In Reno, I refer my patients who are in need of
bowel cleansing to a colon hydrotherapist. The only reason that I don't refer people
on a regular basis is because most of them arrive to see me from out
of town. therefore, I tell them to
use the services of a skilled colon hydrotherapist located in their area
so that they can go for treatment
often," says Dr. Christopher J. Hussar.
Janet Beaty, N.D.
took Training in Colon
Hydrotherapy
"My original training in colon
hydrotherapy was when I administered it twenty-five years ago as part
of my massage therapy program and
that training went a lot deeper when I attended Bastyre University. I was on of several instructors in
colon hydrotherapy at the naturopathic college," says Janet Beaty,
ND whose practice is in West Concord, Massachusetts. "Now I don't own the physical
facilities for doing it in my office but I regularly refer
patients to a competent nearby colon
hydrotherapist.
"My experience with the treatment
is totally positive. I refer people to have it when they
are
constipated because their colons
are not fully emptying and bringing on GI discomforts of some kind.
My sense is that the patient must
empty out old waste products so that there is no interference with
healing modalities," states Dr. Beaty. " I
am using colon hydrotherapy as my beginning treatment
for detoxification, particularly for
patients with congested bowels. While I focus on the
gastrointestinal aspects of colon hydrotherapy, I
also prescribe it for the treatment of allergies, arthritis, and other
health difficulties.

"If I had my druthers, I would get
all of the patients with any health problems on colon
hydrotherapy. Why I don't is because it entails
the payment of cash-out-of-pocket and some people find the concept
too "kinky" even to imagine doing it,"
Dr. Beaty says. " yet, probably most patients should receive at least
one colon hydrotherapy during the
course of taking care of themselves. It is a very helpful tool for nearly
any patient in order to get the bowel
peristalsis to work. An effective technique for stimulation 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 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 a bunch of toxins from the
liver.
Colon Hydrotherapy
Used by James P. Carter, MD, DrPH
"After conducting a comprehensive
digestive stool analysis on any patient suspected of
having
dysbiosis (poor intestinal
hygiene), I attempt to wipe the bowel clean by prescribing colon
hydrotherapy once a week times three. In my
medical practice, I employ a registered nurse on staff to administer
this treatment, " says James P. Carter,
MD, Dr PH, MS on Mandeville,
Louisiana. Dr Carter is Professor
and Head of the Nutrition Section at
Tulane
University School of
Medicine. "Also I use colon hydrotherapy as
part of an overall detoxification program, and it may be
combined with treatment from above as with
drinking Epsom salts, but both are not taken on the same day."
he advises. " It promotes the second
stage of liver detoxification to cause dissolved poisons to come out
in the bile as a solvent. The
patient's washout at least once a week from below is adjunctive without
the Epsom
salts.
" 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" states Dr. James P.
Carter." It takes away any desire to use drugs or imbibe in
alcoholic beverages. colon hydrotherapy
should be part of nearly any addict's therapeutic
regimen."
Colon Therapy Corrects
Constipation
"One of my more significant cases
was Tommy, an eight-year-old boy with the most
awful
constipation anyone could imagine,
" says former general surgeon and emergency medicine
specialist Paul Flashner, MD of Wellesley, Massachusetts. Observing their superior
results for his patients, Dr. Flashner has more recently adapted
his treatment techniques almost completely to complementary
and alternative medicine (CAM). Most definitely, he has incorporated colon
hydrotherapy as a regular CAM technique.
"Tommy's constipation was really
bad. He never had a bowel movement for a week at a
time.
Recognizing the dangers of
physiological toxicity, his parents took their son for consultation
with
numerous gastroenterologists. The
child had been subjected to colonoscopy a dozen times, but
nothing could be found as the source of
his blockage. Laxatives hardly helped at all. There was no
diagnosis except that he suffered severely
from constipation," confirms Dr. Flashner. "Then the parents found
their way to me so that the boy might
undergo examination and treatment one more time. They described
their eight-years-olds
condition.
"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 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. No Laxatives were involved in his
progress, stated Dr. Flasher. "Now the child does not need to
consult me anymore; still, he continues
his colonic cleansing just four times a year. It's been two years
that Tommy remains in excellent
physical condition.

"Colon hydrotherapy is the perfect specific
procedure to eliminate constipation and restore
normal
bowel function. 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 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," says Dr.
Flasher. "There is no question abut the
huge difference a health professional can bring to the patient by
utilizing colon hydrotherapy plus other
associated complementary and alternative methods of
healing."
Colon Hydrotherapy
Reduces Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Joshua Heinermann, the
sixty-six-year-old chief executive officer for Virginia Chemical Corporation
of Chesapeake,
Virginia, had been
suffering severely from prostate gland enlargement (benign
prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). For four
years the man's symptoms had been building steadily, and now they
were affecting this ability to manage
in the administrative position he held. The executive's night time
urinary urgency (nocturia) came with such
frequency, Mr. Heinermann found himself perpetually fatigued
during daytime business meetings. His
need to sleep lay on him like a blanket, and he felt as if!__ his mind
was encased in cotton batting. Any
capability for him to make vital decisions on behalf of his
corporation became almost nonexistent. To
confront the problem, the CEO finally consulted a urologist located in
his city.
In practice for over sixty years
as a specialist in solving urological problems for both men and
women, Emil S. Sayegh, MD of Chesapeake, Virginia is eighty-eight years of age. Over
the six decades of his medical practice, Dr. Sayegh has
been consulted by a particularly large number of male clientele
who have sought his help in correcting
BPH and prostatitis.
"These two common medical
difficulties are closely associated with having weak abdominal
muscles," explains the board certified
urologist. " Those men possing flaccid and weak abdominal
muscles experience enormous pressures on
their bladders which never let up. the supportive muscles and
other erectile tissues surrounding the
bladder fail to do the jobs required. the pressure of the bladder's
rectal sigmoid is so severe that any
amount of stool in that areas is going to make urine passage very
difficult, whether urine is present or not,
the need for these men to void becomes
overwhelming."
During the past fifteen years Dr.
Sayegh has made use of colon hydrotherapy which solves
his
patients' tow particular prostate
pathologies almost every time. " Cleaning 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 them maintained every four weeks for an
unlimited period does solve prostatitis and
benign prostatic hyperplasis," states Emil S. Sayegh, MD. " From
my files, I can offer up several
hundred case studies which testify to the fact."

Improving with Age - Baby Boomers
As America's largest generation approaches their retirement
years, they can maintain their good health through good nutrition and lifestyle habits,
along with the right herbs and nutritional supplements.
Baby Boomer
Health
Helping America's Largest Generation to Remain Healthy & Productive
At the end of World War II,· Americans were anxious to get on with family life in a new
era of peace. Over the next two decades (1946-1964) more babies were born than during
any other period in American history. This generation has been dubbed the Baby Boomers
or just Boomers. Today, this group of about 78 million people is reaching retirement age
with the oldest Boomers about to turn 67 and the
youngest Boomers 49.
In this age of high-tech medicine and effective natural remedies, Baby Boomers want
to stay sharp mentally and avoid many of the health problems associated with aging. They
hope to avoid Alzheimer's disease, cancer and heart disease. They don't want arthritis to stop them from leading an active lifestyle or lose their eyesight due to macular degeneration or cataracts. Many are aware of the growing problems with diabetes, and wish to avoid this
disease and the many health risks that go with it.
Baby Boomers have had more interest in
physical fitness and have been more health conscious than many previous generations. They
grew up in an age of ever growing
scientific advancement, so they believe answers can be found to their health problems.
Furthermore, Boomers grew up in a period of time when many traditional values were
rejected or redefined, so they are more open than previous generations to alternative ways
of maintaining good health.
Boomers have generated more wealth and consumer demand for goods and services
than all other demographic groups combined. Boomers buy over half of all prescription
and over-the-counter drugs. Many also take nutritional supplements and shop at health
food stores, which is why this industry continued to grow during the recent recession.
The Need for Baby Boomer Health
Because the health care needs of Boomers are growing as they age, we're going to discuss
some of the ways Boomers can maintain the health they desire using natural means. We're
going to start with some general principles of good health and then provide some specific
tips Boomers can use to avoid some of the common
health problems associated with aging.
If you're part of this Baby Boomer generation, we hope you'll use this information to
improve your own life. However, even if you're not a Boomer,
consider this as a starting
point to develop the knowledge and skills you need to help Boomers counteract the effects
of aging, because the need for this knowledge is going to increase as the Baby Boomer
generation ages. Boomers can and should be able to enjoy good health in their later years
with the help of good nutrition and lifestyle habits, along with the right herbs and nutritional
supplements.
Basic Tips for Baby Boomer Health
Many people enjoy excellent health -into their 70s and 80s. How do they do this? The best way is to establish good health habits and positive attitudes about life when you're young. However, it's never to late to start. Even if you're in the Baby Boomer generation and have been living on a diet of junk food, you can still reap positive benefits by adopting good health practices now. Here are some basic tips.
Eat Well to Live Well
Good nutrition is one of the fundamental principles of good health. The research is pretty clear that people who adopt a diet with lots of fr sh and natural (preferably organic) foods live longer and are in better health than those who primarily consume modern processed and refined foods.
Most nutritional experts agree that one of the best ways to avoid cancer, heart disease, loss of memory and other degenerative diseases is to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods are naturally high in antioxidan ts that protect the body from free radicals and
environmental roxins. Some great antioxidant foods to include in your diet are berries, tomatoes, leafy green vegetables and a little dark chocolate. Cruciferous and leafy green vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, kale and Swiss chard can
help protect your body from toxins and cancer as you age. Include some of these foods in your diet every day.
Another good food to consider is nuts, which are a rich source of unsaturated fats, vitamins and antioxidants. Good fats and fat soluble vitamins are important for protecting the brain, so eating foods such as deep ocean fish, wild caught salmon, organic butter (from pastured cows if possible), free-range eggs and grass fed meats, is also very helpful for maintaining physical and mental health. Good oils to use include olive oil and coconut oil.
Minimize the Bad Stuff
To keep your health as you age, there are some things that are best to avoid. For instance, don't smoke. Smoking just half a pack of cigarettes per day for 10 years will put you at higher risk for heart disease, cancer and stroke.
It's also wise to go easy on the alcohol. Having an occasional glass of wine or a beer with a meal is fine, but regular consumption of beer and hard liquor is detrimental to the health of your liver and your brain.
Another major thing to avoid is too many simple carbohydrates (refined sugars and white flour). These foods raise insulin levels, promote weight gain, increase inflammation and contribute to the development of diabetes. Also avoid processed fats such as partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, margarine and shortening. Of course, it helps to avoid processed foods in general, especially ones that contain a lot of chemical additives. Keep in mind that it's easier to avoid the "bad stuff" when you concentrate on getting more of the “good stuff.”
Use the Right Supplements
Since it's hard to eat right all the time in our society, it helps to take a few supplements. A good basic supplement is Super Trio. This product contains Super Supplemental (a high quality vitamin and mineral supplement), Super Omega-3 EPA (a fatty acid supplement) and Super ORAC (an antioxidant supplement). It comes in convenient packets that can be carried in a pocket or purse.
One of the major secrets to avoiding the problems associated with aging is to get your body the antioxidants it needs. This is one of the reasons fresh fruits and vegetables are so important to health. Super ORAC supplements these antioxidants. You can also increase your antioxidants by taking Thai-Go, a special juice blend with a certified high ORAC value. (ORAC is the ability a food has to neutralize free radicals).
Omega-3 fatty acids are also a critical anti-aging nutrient. They are particularly helpful for the brain, which is 50% fat by dry weight. These fatty acids have been shown to help protect memory and brain function. They can also reduce joint pain, protect the cardiovascular system and ease prostate problems in men. These good fats are found in both Super Omega-3 EPA and Krill Oil with K2.
Take Good Care of Yourself
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a positive attitude is also critical to enjoying good health as we grow older. If you're experiencing emotional stress, try using some Distress
Remedy or another flower essence blend to help you have a more positive mood. It also helps to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
For starters, make sure you're staying physically active. Exercise strengthens your heart, reduces your risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, relieves the pain of osteoarthritis, fights depression, and may prevent certain types of cancer. Adults over 50 should avoid
strenuous, high-impact exercises in favor of walking, running, bicycling, swimming and other low-impact activities. As little as 30 to 45 minutes every other day will make a big difference.
Make sure you're getting 8-9 hours of sleep every night, too. As people age, they often experience difficulty sleeping. Sleep is very important for mood, immunity and overall health, so if you're having trouble sleeping, try taking Herbal Sleep, 5-HTP Power or Melatonin Extra before bedtime. If you're tense and anxious, kava kava can also be helpful.
Maintaining meaningful relationships will improve your quality of life and your longevity. A study led by Julianne Holt-Lunstad at Brigham Young University found that people with strong social bonds reduced their risk of mortality by as much as 50 percent. So, stay socially active as well by spending time with family and friends on a regular basis.
Avoiding Age Related Diseases
Besides the basic tips found on the previous page, there are specific supplements and lifestyle changes one can
make to avoid specific age-related diseases. Here are a few of the major health
issues Baby Boomers (and others) will want to avoid.
Reducing the Risk of Cancer
While heart disease is the leading cause of death over age 70, cancer
is the leading cause of death between 40 and 70, the age group for Boomers.
This means Boomers are much more likely to suffer an early death due to cancer
than to heart disease. From a holistic perspective cancer is caused by a toxic
environment in the body, c.oupled with stress and a weakened immune
system. This is why holistic anti-cancer treatments often focus on
detoxification, stress management and strengthening the immune system.
Avoiding chemicals and making sure you have a good diet and plenty
of antioxidants is one of the primary things you can do to prevent cancer.
Those with a family history of cancer can take additional precautions by doing
a periodic cleanse, supporting the liver's ability to detoxify the body and by
strengthening the immune system.
The Tiao He Cleanse is an excellent cleansing program that also supports the liver. Doing this
cleanse twice a year can help rid your body of cancer-causing chemicals. For
those who work around chemicals frequently, Milk Thistle Combination can be taken daily to protect the body from them. Finally, if
you have a tendency towards a weak immune system, try taking Trigger Immune to boost your energy and
immunity.
Preventing Heart Disease
All of the basic health tips on the previous page
reduce one's risk of heart disease, strokes
and other cardiovascular problems. Those with a family history
.of heart disease may wish to take additional precautions, especially if they have
high blood pressure or are overweight.
Solstic Cardio is a good supplement to
consider here. It contains five grams of L-arginine. Research suggests that
this amount of L-arginine can help to reduce blood pressure and inhibit plaque
formation in the arteries. Solstic Cardio also contains vitamin D3 and other
nutrients that promote cardiovascular health.
Another important supplement for reducing the risk of heart disease
is CoQlO 75. If you have problems with your gums, disease. CoQ10
is a powerful antioxidant that helps both
the gums and the arteries to heal. It also helps with recovery
from cardiovascular disease. Statins deplete CoQ10,
so anyone taking statins should consider adding CoQ10 to
their supplement program.
Finally, some people over 60 replace their Super Supplemental
multivitamin with MegaChel. MegaChel still provides them with extra vitamins and
minerals, but also contains herbs and nutrients that can reduce plaque
formation, improve peripheral circulation
and otherwise enhance cardiovascular health. Other good
supplements to consider for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system are Ginkgo and Hawthorn and High Potency Garlic.
Defeating Diabetes
The high blood sugar levels found in diabetics can cause damage to
the blood vessels in your kidneys, heart, eyes and other areas. Diabetics are
more prone to heart disease. To avoid diabetes, adopt a healthy diet and
lifestyle. It is especially important to stay physically active and to avoid
all refined carbohydrates and simple sugars. If you're starting to develop
blood sugar problems, try taking SugarReg or Target P14. These formulas contain
herbs
and nutrients that help the body overcome cellular resistance to
insulin. If you have diabetes, it is a good idea to take supplements to support
the cardiovascular system such as CoQlO 75 and High Potency Garlic.
Maintaining Mental Health
Nobody wants to lose their mind, so to stay healthy as we age we
want to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, dementia and Parkinson's
disease, all which diminish quality of life and
productiveness. While the complete cause of these conditions is
unknown, scientific research increasingly points to processed foods,
over consumption of sugar, simple carbs and unhealthy fats, environmental toxins
and heavy metals as contributing factors.
Good fats and fat-soluble vitamins are very important to the brain.
So, getting the long chain omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA, is important to
keeping a healthy mind. The fats in organic butter, coconut oil and eggs are
also helpful.
Research shows that declining levels of magnesium in the brain are
part of the picture of memory loss. Researchers at MIT found a highly
absorbable form of magnesium, magnesium l-threonate, which has been shown to
cross the blood-brain barrier and increase the brain's magnesium level. It
stimulated the growth of new synapses and increased cognitive functions in both
the old and the young.
Mind Max contains magnesium
l-threonate in a base of three herbs that have been used to increase cognitive
function and protect the brain during aging: gotu kola, bacopa and ginkgo. This
is a great supplement to take for anyone who is concerned about cognitive
decline and memory loss associated with aging.
Natural Aids for Arthritis
Many people experience joint problems as they grow older. Most wind up relying on pain relieving drugs like NSAIDS, which do nothing more than temporarily ease pain. Unfortunately, they can also increase the risk of liver problems, kidney failure and
cardiovascular disease. Fortunately, there are supplements that offer real benefits for arthritic joints.
Everflex
contains .glucosamine hydrochloride, MSM, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid and devil's claw root-ingredients shown to restore joint mobility and comfort, while strengthening connective tissues. It is available in tablets for internal use and as a topical pain-relieving cream. Research has shown that healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins are helpful in treating arthritis, so Vitamin D3 and Krill Oil with K.2 can also be helpful. Joint
Keeping Your Eye Sight
Many adults lose their vision as they age due to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma or cataracts. About 1.8 million Americans suffer from age-related macular degeneration and there are about six million new cases of eye disease every year.
The sad thing is that most of these eye problems are due to a lack of good fats (omega-3 essential fatty acids) and antioxidants. Perfect Eyes contains nutrients like lutein, n-acetyl-cysteine, quercetin and hesperidin, which help protect the eyes from free radical damage
and aging. It can be used in addition to supplements like Thai-Go and Super Trio to protect the eyes from aging.
None of us can escape growing older, but
with a healthy diet and lifestyle, we can escape many of the diseases associated with aging.
