Some people say that colonic irrigation removes intestinal flora and valuable nutrients. Is this so?
The truth is that washing out putrefied material in the large intestine increases the good intestinal flora. Good bacteria can only multiply in a clean environment that has been cleaned and has been washed free of putrefaction and it’s accompanying harmful bacteria. This is why the intestines of a new born baby immediately begin to grow good intestinal flora.

Each time you clean out the putrefying rubbish and make a better environment for the good flora they begin to multiply immediately in their natural media. It also stands to reason that valuable nutrients can be better absorbed in a clean environment than in a putrefied environment.

Cancer of the colon, unknown at the beginning of the century, is today second only to lung cancer. An average person can carry between 5lbs – 25lbs of old faecel matter in their large intestine. A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. Conventional diets of today, comprised of refined and processed foods, high in saturated fats and low in natural fiber, coupled with sedentary lifestyle contribute to a multitude of bowel disorders and subsequent health problems. Poor elimination of waste products soon leads to toxic environment poisoning several problems. It’s like you trying to work at home with no drains or reduce collection.

First the stagnant waste becomes putrefied and releases toxins, which seep through the walls of the colon into the blood stream making us, feel tired, ill and week. Second, the colons ability to assimilate some minerals and important vitamins becomes impaired. And finally, the muscular activity of the colon is inhibited leading to constipation and bowel disorder. Clonic irrigation quickly, safely and effectively eliminates large quantities of this toxic waste, greatly, enhancing the condition of the entire body, leading to a healthier and better quality of life.
