Doctors are now beginning to
understand the importance of bowel care in the prevention
of disease. Many health problems are
believed to stem from a build-up of waste products in the body, exacerbated by the effects of
pollution and unwholesome foods. Few people's diets allow the bowel to empty perfectly every day,
leaving most of us with waste that gradually coats the bowel lining and reduces our ability to
absorb nutrients from food.
A highly effective method of cleansing the system, colonic hydrotherapy involves introducing warm filtered water into the rectum and then on through the entire length of the colon, dislodging and washing out toxic matter that may have been building up over years. Herbs may be added to the water to assist the cleansing, and afterwards a supplement of acidophilus is swallowed to replace beneficial bacteria that have also been washed out of the gut. Correctly carried out by a qualified practitioner, this is a safe, painless, odourless process with no unwanted after-effects.
For best results, Raaul warns, you need to take the programme as part of a generally improved lifestyle. A continuing poor diet, for example, can still damage the health even if the build-up is removed with colonic hydrotherapy. For really powerful results, he offers dietary advice and an individualised post-cleansing maintenance programme to every client.
