Before and After
Your Colonic Cleansing Session

Before your session, it's a good idea to eat and drink light meals. Raw fruit, freshly extracted juices, salads, and pureed soup are recommended. It's best not to eat a heavy meal before your session.

After your session, you'll feel incredible. You will feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being. Sometimes people describe their first Colon Cleansing session as a defining moment. That was the time they realized how important their body and health is to them, and they became determined to eat right and exercise.

Allow for at least 60 to 90 minutes for your session. The actual procedure takes 45 minutes, but you may want to spend some time talking to clinician Angela Toplovich. She is available for questions, inquiries, or whatever else you might want to share.

As soon as your session is finished, you may resume your daily routine. Sometimes, the session may trigger several subsequent bowel movements for the next few hours, but there won't be any uncontrollable urgency or discomfort. You may feel light-headed or chilled after the session, but again it's all temporary and part of the cleansing process.

Will I be "regular" after my first Colon Cleansing session?

Sorry, it takes time to achieve regularity. The most frequent experience is to have a slight delay in bowel movements afterwards. If your colon is weak and sluggish, you may not have a BM for several days after your session. This delay is not due to the session, but rather the weakness of the colon. It should be interpreted as an indication that your colon requires strengthening and healing. You may even experience diarrhea or loose bowel movements. This could be because of the extra water introduced into the colon or to the stirring up of toxic waste. If this happens, it is usually a short term experience. Keep coming back for a more sessions, until you're "regular" again.

Is Colon Cleansing habit forming? Can you become dependent upon these sessions? If you get too many sessions, will the colon stop functioning on its own?

The purpose of Colon Cleansing sessions is to create a clean and healthy colon. We want you to heal your colon, not become dependent upon these sessions. Each session is intended to tone the colon muscle so that the colon doesn't perform sluggishly. Many people have sluggish colons. It may take days for a bowel movements to return after a good session. This is when people think they are becoming "dependent" on Colon Cleansing sessions.

One good session is worth 20 or so regular bowel movements, so it may take some time for fecal material to build up in the colon once again if one has a sluggish colon. When the colon is sluggish and BMs do not return for a few days after one session, it is an indication that extensive colon work is needed to remove the debris that the bowel has built up over the years. This build-up of fecal matter has decreased the muscular action in the colon. Once a series of sessions are completed, the colon will begin to function like Mother Nature intended.

Colon Cleansing sessions gives you a feeling of being lighter, cleaner and healthier with a sense of well-being. Cleansing and building programs offer preventative measures so that you can be in control of your health. Dietary changes may be necessary to ensure long lasting and vital health.
