You are waiting for the gastroenterologist to perform a colonoscopy. The purpose of the prep colonoscopy is to remove all stool (feces) from the colon. Help the gastroenterologist perform the colonoscopy; the doctor needs a clear view of the intestinal wall.
To see what’s inside your colon, your large intestine has to be empty and clean. There are two options. One is strong laxatives at home, another is in-office colon hydrotherapy.
Laxatives need a medicine prescribed by the doctor. You may need a gallon jug with a powder inside. The patient will fill the pitcher with water and drink a glass of the mixture 10 minutes apart until the entire gallon is finished. After the first glasses, diarrhea will begin. Other over-the-counter medications cause diarrhea when using a home enema or counterfeit 40 sodium phosphate tablets. Some home enema products can cause kidney damage, so in December 2008, the FDA required it to carry a black box warning about the risk of kidney damage.
The physician panel of the American Society of Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy published guidelines on bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Doctors agreed: “Caution should be exercised when selecting a bowel preparation for patients with significant hepatic, renal, or cardiac dysfunction, and for those of extreme age.”
For young and healthy people, preparatory measures for colonoscopy at home can not cause any problems. For people with kidney, heart, liver disease, overweight problems, hemorrhoids, chronic constipation, definitely old and weak people? Having frequent diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps can exacerbate health conditions, which can lead to discontinuation of medication and incomplete cleansing of the large intestine. In turn, this makes it difficult for the doctor to examine the entire colon.
Fortunately, people can use another clever way to clean out the colon to prepare it for the colonoscopy. It is colon hydrotherapy, also known as “Colonic”. The clean colon with water has been known since the 14th century BC. C. The enema was a regular medical treatment in the 19th and 20th centuries and was prescribed by doctors for many health conditions.
Currently there are updated colon hydrotherapy machines, registered by the FDA, with thermostat, pressure gauge, disposable equipment. We have hundreds of well-trained colon hydrotherapists across the US who can cleanse your colon using clear, purified water irrigation and gentle abdominal massage. Several American doctors endorse colon hydrotherapy as a safe and effective way to prepare the large intestine for colonoscopy.
Says a well-known gastrointestinal surgeon Leonard Smith, MD, of Gainsville, Florida. “I am very knowledgeable about the functions of the colon and my true belief is that colon hydrotherapy is the perfect cleansing means to prepare the patient for colonoscopy.”
Douglas Brodie, MD, of Reno, Nevada believes. “Colon hydrotherapy is the best cleanse and detox for the GI tract that anyone would want. I encourage its use.”
Board-certified gastroenterologist Robert Charm, MD, of Walnut Creek, California, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of California recommends. “And of course, I prefer my patients to have colon hydrotherapy the morning of a colonoscopy. It’s a safe way to cleanse the bowel. It’s a healing technique for relief of irritable bowel syndrome with gas and bloating, chronic constipation , abdominal discomfort, and many other GI tract problems.”
Colon hydrotherapy is the healthiest known way to cleanse the large intestine before a colonoscopy and is currently used in hospitals; for example, the Danbury Connecticut Hospital has made it the perfect choice for preparation.
The advantages of preparing for colonoscopy by using colon hydrotherapy, also known as “Colonic” are:
1. Colon cleansing does not involve drinking a gallon of water or taking strong laxatives.
2. The procedure is performed in a quiet lying position in the office with continuous supervision by a well-trained colon hydrotherapist. A small disposable tube will be gently inserted into your rectum. The colon will be flushed with warm, clear, purified water. The pressure within the colon is usually low, even less than the pressure in the bathroom when releasing stool during constipation.
3. When the person feels the urge to defecate, the flow of water will be interrupted and the discharge valve will open to allow the colon to naturally cleanse itself of waste carried out by the water outlet.
4. Repeated flushing with water can release fecal matter from the entire colon, even in chronic constipation. According to the medical literature, colon hydrotherapy in 98% of cases helped the gastroenterologist to observe the clear view of the entire lumen of the colon. Helps secure and productively view the colon.
5. An experienced colon hydrotherapist provides a gentle abdominal massage. It pushes the water deeper until it reaches the cecum (beginning of the colon). Massage also helps decrease debris from the colon wall and support the peristaltic action of the colon.
All colon cleansing practices can remove not only waste, but also various minerals and friendly, beneficial intestinal flora. To prepare a person for colonoscopy, Europeans use healing mineral water prepared from genuine thermal salt from Karlovy Vary. European doctors have recommended drinking this water in almost all colon disorders for 250 years. Karlovy Vary healing mineral water enhances and improves the results of a colon hydrotherapy session, eliminating spasms, cramps and making it more pleasant and satisfying. Often the client and colon hydrotherapist are surprised at the voluminous release during this session. Karlovy Vary healing mineral water can provide the body with essential minerals and trace elements.
At my clinic we use high-quality, complete probiotics to restore the beneficial gut bacteria in the colon. We advise taking them after the colonoscopy one month.
For colon preparation and a clear view of the colonic lumen, it is suggested to perform a colon hydrotherapy session one or two days before the exam and in the morning before the colonoscopy. The time to complete colon hydrotherapy sessions is 30 to 40 minutes. No specific instructions are needed for colon hydrotherapy; just don’t eat solid food two hours before the procedure.
A safe and valuable way to prepare the large intestine for colonoscopy is colon hydrotherapy. It is especially useful for the elderly, sick and constipated. Colon hydrotherapy is also useful for diabetics, patients with liver, kidney, heart problems, overweight problems, people who cannot tolerate fasting, and those who cannot stand frequent diarrhea.
