1. Is it true when websites, books and infomercials say you can have years of ‘black, rubbery, mucoid plaque buildup on the walls of your colon?

No, absolutely not! The reason is, the wall of your colon is made up of millions of Musocal Epithelial cells that produce mucus all the time. These cells live only 3-5 days, so they undergo a rapid turnover and exfoliation on a weekly basis.

The pictures you see on websites, books and infomercials is actually congealed cleaning drinks and supplements that have formed the shape of someone’s intestine. A word to the wise – don’t be sucked in by sensationalistic scare tactics.

2. Is colon hydrotherapy safe?

Yes. In fact, with the Angel of Water, sessions are much safer and easier than the common enema.

3. How does a colon hydrotherapy treatment compare to an enema?

An enema only reaches the rectum and lower part of the colon, whereas with colon hydrotherapy, the entire length of the colon is reached and it is many more times effective. According to learned centenarian Dr. Norman Walker, “One colon irrigation is equivalent to 30 enemas.”

4. Do the treatments hurt?

Not usually. In fact many people report their colon hydrotherapy sessions as being both refreshing and relaxing. Only a few people experience cramping.

5. How much of the intestines are cleansed during a colon hydrotherapy treatment?

It is possible for a professional colon therapist to cleanse the full length of the colon. The small intestine are not specifically involved in a colon hydrotherapy treatment; however the small intestine may be cleansed with the help of an oral intestinal cleanser and with a fruit and veggie-based diet.

9. Does a menstrual period at the time of a colon hydrotherapy session have any effect on the experience?

10. What should I do to prepare for a colon hydrotherapy cleansing?

Refrain from eating about 2 hours before the cleansing, be as relaxed as possible and maintain a positive, cheerful attitude.

Usually not, but since the cleansing will stir up a lot of old debris and toxins, you might experience some minor nausea or fatigue.

Any discomfort will usually pass within 24 hours.
