Colon hydrotherapy is the safe, gentle infusion of warm filtered water into the rectum using no chemicals or drugs. This is a restorative, painless procedure which is both relaxing and effective. The individual lies comfortably on a custom treatment table and the therapist gently inserts a small spectrum into the rectum. The therapist then monitors the temperature and pressure of the water infused into and out of the colon (large intestine) without any assistance on the part of the individual. The colon hydrotherapy method cleanses the entire colon without stressing the individual. This method provides a closed system in which waste material is eliminated through the instrument and out the drain line, avoiding any offensive odor and maintaining the dignity of the individual.

Colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema. The enema's cleansing activity is limited to the area of the rectum and to shorter periods of time due to the body's natural wish to expel any material from the rectum. The colon hydrotherapy method extends beyond the rectum to cleanse the entire large intestine and offer greater cleansing and therapeutic benefits. Enemas or laxatives may precipitate dehydration in the individual while colon hydrotherapy improves the hydration status of the individual.

The instrument offers as minimal starting water pressure of 1/4 psi (pounds per square inch) and treatment is performed effectively below the 2psi setting. The instrument design utilized by Dotolo Colon Hydrotherapy affords thorough instrument cleansing and disinfection following each treatment. There is a built-in double check valve which prevents waste water from returning to the water supply. The instrument also features a disposable unit which eliminates any possible contamination to the patient from a previous treatment.

A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. Conventional diets comprised of refined, processed foods, high in saturated fats and low in fiber contribute to many problems associated with the large intestine. The elimination of undigested food material and other waste products are as important as the digestion and assimilation of foodstuffs. Waste material allowed to remain stagnant in the colon results in decomposition of these substances and increased bacteria and their toxins.

The colon contains the largest concentration of bacteria in the body. These bacteria provide important functions such as the synthesis of folic acid, B-vitamin and vitamin K from foods. Bacillus coli and acidophillus comprise the majority of the healthy bacteria in the colon along with other disease producing bacteria in small numbers. Waste material allowed to stagnate alters the proportion of healthy bacteria to disease producing bacteria, and the potential for disease exists. These bacteria decompose proteins and carbohydrates resulting in the production of toxins. Some of these toxins are thought to be absorbed and may be a potential source of disease elsewhere in the body.

The purpose of the colon as an eliminative organ is to remove this waste material by mass muscular contraction called peristalsis. Colon hydrotherapy provides therapeutic improvement of muscular tone, facilitating peristalsis and benefiting the atonic (sluggish) colon. The effectss of a stagnant colon can be manifested in the form of constipation, hallitosis (bad breath), skin blemishes, hedaches, low back pain and lack of energy.

An initial series of between three to six treatments is recommended. Years of improper nutrition cannot possibly be reversed in a few treatments. More treatments may be required in cases of chronic constipation or the atonic(sluggish) colon condition. Following the initial program, it is advisable to have a series of three treatments every three to six months to maintain otimal colon health.
