Sherrie Rogers, MD., of Syracuse, New York, one of the worlds leading authorities on environmental medicine states in her book "Detoxify or Die" that toxins are not normal to the body, they are not meant to be metabolized by the body and we do not have the metabolic machinery to completely detoxify them.

Consequently, the body will have an allergic reaction when it is attempting to reject or expel the toxin or it will store the substance because it does not know how to handle it. Dr. Rogers also states that biopsy studies that were performed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) showed that 100% of the people in the study had dioxins, PCB's, dichlorobenzene and dylem.  The PCB's are one of the most dangerous carcinogens known to man.  Hazardous chemicals like these can be found in breast milk in women living in the Artic Circle.

As these toxins accumulate in our body they cause what the scientist calls "the body's toxic load" or "toxic burden". At first we "feel a little off", but soon we become used to it. Then we start popping pills to feel a little better and consider this part of the aging process. We then resign ourselves to the thought that this is the general progression of time.

The FDA tests these substances for their toxic effect individually. No one, not the FDA, consumers or the Government knows exactly what effect consuming hundreds of these toxins on a daily basis will have on the body and, of course, it is impossible to test each person's exposure to the thousands of new products released on the market each year.

Americans' unhealthy relationship with food has caused us to gain weight.  First of all we eat entirely too much. With 24-hour markets, drive-thru and fast food restaurants, we have access to food 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“What is a colonic?” 
Excellent question, I found out about colonics in the early 90's when I was suffering from a host of digestive problems.  I was in a book store and on the wall was a business card that sounded like something that would help me.  We didn't have the internet so it was a blind faith judgement that got me to a colon hydrotherapist and that was the beginning of my journey to better health.

I first started getting colonics as needed or as I like to call it allopathic medicine the way you would see a regular physician.  I soon found out that as it helped me I still was not getting the results I wanted or needed to completely heal my inner workings.

That is when I found out that in order to heal I would need to step up my sessions to allow the colon to be free of the years of abuse  I had subjected it to.
Colonics Explained
 A colonic is all about cleansing the bowel, specifically the large intestines. The bowels  are one of the major elimination systems of the body, and when we cleanse out toxins we remove that which could be perpetuating illness.

When one gets a colonic (also referred to as receiving “colon hydrotherapy”), filtered water is slowly released into the large intestine via the rectum. Once inside the body, the water can soften waste matter on the intestinal walls. As the waste matter softens, it can then be released on the outflow of water. Do this process repeatedly, and recent waste as well as built up waste from days, months, even years prior can be dislodged. Remove the toxins (and possible encrustation of waste on your gut walls) and you just might experience greater health!

Once the toxins are out, your body has the potential to go to new heights of healing!

Needless to say I have been able to overcome a lot of the health issues I had 20 some years ago and I still maintain at least one colonic a month as maintenance.

This statement from Dr. Tiller explains the need for several sessions:  “From my extensive research and experience, I agree that a series of twelve sessions is necessary. Three the first week, back to back, two the second week, and one a week for the next seven weeks. The reason for that is the human body is exceptionally smart. When we clean out the colon, the body starts pulling waste out of the tissue and putting them into the blood stream. The waste heads for the liver, then back to the colon. Therefore, the second Colon Hydrotherapy session is necessary so that the digested waste is eliminated rather than reabsorbed. The same reason applies to the following two the second week. After the first five, I then recommend one a week for seven weeks. This slows detoxification to a gentler-tolerable rate.” William Tiller, N.D. 

We believe that all clients should complete three colonic sessions the first week, preferably back to back, when they first start their cleansing/detoxing program.  I have seen remarkable results by clients that continued the program that Dr. Tiller recommended.

Here’s why:
1. The colon is an absorbing organ, when water is infused into the colon it will absorb a portion of the water and hydrate the entire body.  All of the body’s organs are hydrated, this is one of the reasons that people who do a number of colonic sessions report a significant improvement in the quality of their skin (the skin being the largest organ).  

2.  After the first colonic session the colon has a significant amount of water in it. By doing another colonic (the next day) clients report more significant releases. This is primarily because the colon is already hydrated and flushing out impacted matter is easier when it has been softened.
