How are Allergies Diagnosed?
For an individual’s allergies to be appropriately treated and controlled, it is important that the specific allergens causing allergic symptoms be identified. The first step in diagnosis is a detailed history and physical examination which can provide helpful evidence to confirm the presence of allergy, and in some cases identify the offending substances; however, if the history only suggests likely causes of allergy, then the doctor may choose to test the patient using skin tests. The skin tests are performed by injecting a small dose of the suspected antigen into the first layer of skin on the arm. If there is an allergic reaction, this becomes apparent within a few minutes or even seconds.

How are Allergies Treated?
An allergy treatment program may include several phases for control of symptoms. Once the offending substances have been identified, it may be possible to simply avoid those things in your environment that cause you to experience allergic symptoms. Many allergens are not avoidable as in the case of pollens, dust, mold spores, etc. Mild to moderate symptoms can many times be controlled by drugs such as antihistamines or these drugs may be used along with “Allergy Injections”. “Allergy Injections” – that is, immunotherapy, is prescribed by the Doctor when long-term protection against allergic reactions is needed to control symptoms. Immunotherapy consists of a series of injections containing small amounts of the offending allergen which were identified by the skin tests. This treatment is designed to gradually build up the patient’s tolerance against the substances to which they are allergic.

What is Colon Hydrotherapy?
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 speculum into the rectum. The therapist then monitors the temperature and the 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.

Why Colon Hydrotherapy?
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. 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.

Do I need Colon Hydrotherapy?
The effects of a stagnant colon can be manifested in the form of constipation, halitosis (bad breath), skin blemishes, headaches, lower back pain and lack of energy. If you feel as if you suffer from some of these symptoms, Colon Hydrotherapy could help you.
