BenhaimOriginally it was accomplished by squatting in a stream bed and
drawing water up into the colon, then expelling it. Ancient
Egyptians used a ram's horn or gourd. Sophisticated equipment
was perfected in the early 1900s.
Colonic irrigation cleanses the whole of the large intestine and
should not be confused with an enema which only cleans the
lowest part of the colon and does not have the same washing
action. Norman Walker who was still practising colonic irrigation at
the age of 117 years said 'One colonic irrigation is equivalent to 30
enemas.'
The colon, or large intestine, is the end portion of the human
digestive tract that is approximately 5 feet long and 21/2 inches in
diameter. There are important bacteria living there that help
synthesise valuable nutrients and notable portions of the B
complex.
Waste material, especially that which has remained in the
colon for some time (eg impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue,
accumulated mucus, parasites) pose several problems. Firstly,
they are quite toxic. These poisons can re-enter and circulate in
the blood stream causing us to feel ill, tired or weak. Secondly,
impacted material prevents proper absorption of nutrients. And
thirdly, a build-up of material on the colon wall can inhibit muscular
action causing sluggish bowel movements, constipation and
resulting in numerous diseases. The best way to describe a
successful colonies session is that you feel rejuvenated. Colonies
is part of a holistic approach, and includes focusing on diet,
exercise and attitude, all of which must be addressed if colonies is
to take full effect.
