THE HISTORY OF
The value of tissue cleansing through colon
lavage has been practiced for over three thousand years.
Since the turn-of-the-century, colon hydrotherapy has experienced periods of popularity alternating with periods of rejection. The primary factors responsible for the stereotypes, misconceptions, and general ambivalence was the practice of this ther~py by the untrained, which was detrimental to its acceptance by the medical profession. However, the value of colon hydrotherapy had been professed by many medical practitioners of that era, most noteworthy James A Wiltsie, M.D" and Joseph E.G. Waddington, M.D. The philosophy employed by many regarding colon hydrotherapy was clearly depicted in Dr. Waddington's work "Scientific Intestinal Irrigation and Adjuvant Therapy", where he stated: "Abnormal functioning of the intestinal canal is the precursor of much ill-:-health, especially of chronic disease. Restoration of physiologic intestinal elimination is often the important preliminary to eventual restoration of Health in general."30 Dr. Wiltsie contends that "our knowledge of the normal and abnormal physiology of the colon and its pathology and management has not kept pace with that of many organ systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume 'The colon will take care of itself just that long will we remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most important source of ill-health in the whole body." The practice of colon lavage outside the
medical jurisdiction and resultant lack of professional control and study,
restricted this valuable adjunctive therapy from receiving the recognition it
truly deserves.
Today, with modem technological improvements in colon hydrotherapy instrumentation (particularly with regard to safety) along with trained therapists, colon hydrotherapy is becoming a valuable modality in treating disease and promoting wellness. At the time ofthis writing, national and international research is underway evaluating the diverse applications that colon hydrotherapy offers. Combined with sound nutrition, exercise, and a positive mental outlook, colon hydrotherapy may play an important role in achieving and maintaining vibrant health.
THE THEORY OF COLON HYDROTHERAPY
In summary, colon hydrotherapy provides tubular and cellular drainage outwardly from the rectum and inwardly via the portal and mesenteric lymphatic systems.
COMMON CONCERNS ABOUT COLON HYDROTHERAPY
Laxatives act as chemical irritants and stimulate the muscular walls of the colon to abnormally contract to expel the irritating substances. It is very easy to become dependent upon these drugs and permanently destroy the normal ability of the colon to eliminate naturally on its own accord. The oral route of administration is the least optimal method of evacuation of the large intestine. Laxatives interfere with important digestive processes occurring in the stomach and small intestine which resul1s in electrolyte depletion and dehydration in the patient.
WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE ELECTROLYTE
DEPLETION IN THE
Electrolytes or minerals are elements that are responsible for cell function throughout the body When the body is properly nourished with good quality organic foods containing sodium, potassium and magnesium, the electrolyte level of the colon is replenished as part of the diet. The Colon Hydrotherapy (Model 1085) Istrumentation allows for supplementation via the rectum (saline, kayxelate, etc.) at the direction of a physician.
WILL THE INTESTINAL FLORA BE DISTURBED
BY
The intestinal flora consists of billions of microscopic organisms including: bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses which inhabit the bowel and playa very important role in health and disease. Bacteria synthesize' valuable nutritional supplements and proper balance of these microorganisms is essential to a healthy colon. . The large intestine shelters bacteria as symbionts and adherence to proper nutrition will enhance the colon's ability to maintain balance following colon hydrotherapy; The physician may elect to prescribe implants of lactobacterium acidophilum cultures to facilitate this process or incorporate low fat dairy products (yogurt, etc.) into the patient's dietary program.
WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION? Following a colon hydrotherapy treatment, the instrument is to be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. A potent germicidal solution is used to properly disinfect the instrument and its contents are not harmful to the colon environment. When the disinfection procedure is completed, the instrument is generously cleansed with water, clearing the germicidal solution completely from the instrument. The colon hydrotherapy instrumentation contains a check valve which prevents waste water from returning to the water supply. In addition, the application of a disposable unit consisting of: waste hose, water line, speculum and obturator which is discarded following each treatment, eliminates any possible contamination to the patient.
WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE PERFORATION OF THE
A colon hydrotherapy instrument should not allow a filling pressure in excess of 2 psi (pounds per square inch) to maximize the patient safety. The Model 1085 colon hydrotherapy instrument introduces a minimal starting water pressure of 1/8 psi producing one pint of water per minute flow, and in most cases the treatment is performed effectively under the I psi setting. A standard hospital enema starts at 2 psi and increases approximately 1/2 psi per foot of elevation. The Dotolo Model 1085 Colon Hydrotherapy
Instrument affords continual control of the temperature and pressure throughout
the treatment.
COLON HYDROTHERAPY AN ALTERNATIVE TO ENEMAS Both, the standard enema arid colon
hydrotherapy use infusion of aqueous substances into the rectum. A standard
enema provides the injection of water (one-way) into the colon which is
retained and evacuated by the patient.
Diseases and functional disturbances of the digestive organs are the most complained of problems today. The health of most organs as well as our overall well-being depends on how well our bowels (large intestine) function. A change in diet after many years of wrong eating habits does not assure optimal colon health. Research has shown that regular use of
refined carbohydrates and lack of natural fiber increase the transit time of
bowel waste, and stimulate putrefaction in the colon. Both of these factors
have been linked to constipation and certain bowel diseases including:
diverticulitis, colitis, and colon cancer. At least two million Americans
suffer from some form of inflammatory bowel disease (i.e. ileitis. colitis, and
diverticulitis).
The American Cancer Society has provided evidence in recent years which suggests that environmental agents, such as insecticides, herbicides, preservatives in foods, hormones and antibiotics fed to livestock, and petroleum by-products may playa greater role in the predisposition to colo-rectal cancer. Periodic cleansing of the large intestine may minimize the exposure of the colon walls to carcinogens.
INDICATIONS FOR COLON HYDROTHERAPY The history and physical examination of the
patient (by the physician) would dictate the need for colon hydrotherapy in the
overall treatment plan.

Why is colon cleansing essential to good health? In today's society the refined foods which we eat lack the bulk and fiber to create the cleansing and peristaltic motion to facilitate the movement of food through the colon. High salt, refined flour, hardened fats, high sugar, and lack of water all contribute to constipation and diverticulosis. When the salt goes too high, it causes the food (or plaque) to be attracted to the walls by ionization and covers over the villi, which are the feeder mouths that pick up nourishment from the food you eat. When these are covered over for many years, the plaque becomes putrid and releases toxic, foul poisons back into the portal vein, which takes it to the liver. This poison is circulated throughout the entire system, weakening all the main organs of the body, and providing a "home for parasites". Colon irrigations help to eliminate the poisons of putrification from the colon and large intestines, and allows the healthy bacteria to flourish again. Cleansing the colon is the first step to a healthier life. Call your licensed, trained, professional Ayala International colon therapist today for an appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions: What is the colon? How can I cleanse my colon? Will laxatives or enemas accomplish the same results? How is Colon Hydrotherapy different? What can I expect from Colon Hydrotherapy? What is the Colon-Cleansing Procedure? The procedure last approximately (1 hour) and is performed by a colon therapist using a colon irrigation machine that regulates the water pressure, temperature, and water volume. A five-inch speculum attached to a hose (both disposable) is inserted into the anus, allowing the water to flow under gentle pressure to cleanse the entire length of the colon. The water dislodges toxic wastes in the colon, which are then flushed out through a waste hose. During a cleansing, a series of water-fills and releases also helps to stimulate the expansion and contraction of the muscular walls of the colon. This, combines with a changing of the water temperature from warm to cool, exercises the colon and promotes the restoration of proper peristaltic action. During the cleansing, most people find that they can relax completely. After the cleansing is completed, acidophilus can be taken orally to increase the level of beneficial flora present in the intestinal tract. Note: Since nearly all tap water contains chemicals as well as other undesirable
substances, it is most important that the water used in a colon cleansing be
purified by some form of filtration system. Most up-to-date colonic machines
are equipped with disposable hoses and speculums to insure cleanliness. You
should insist on disposable accessories that are used only once and then thrown
away.
