How to cleanse your body and beat disease in three steps

admin — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:00:49 +0000

There’s a lot of evidence for an optimistic outlook having a strong positive influence on an individual’s health. The more optimistic a person, the better their health seems to be. Doctors often excuse this notion, but it can play a vital role in the healing process. Alternative medicines – such as colon hydrotherapy and lymphatic massage – can also have a major positive influence on the healing process.

At our colonic Los Angeles spas, we put an emphasis on positive thinking and alternative medicine in order to heal body, mind and spirit. Here’s how to start healing your body in three steps:

Stop its cause

In order to stop the cause of the disease, you’ll first need to rearrange your thoughts and feelings about it. Initially, the dying of the body begins with feelings of hate, anger, condemnation, judgment, jealousy and depression, as well as other negative emotions. In order to be in good health, it’s important to control your emotions and target good thoughts. Focus on building love, happiness, peace and gratitude to create energy and vitality.

Change your diet

Your colon plays a vital role in your health. Small changes in your diet can make a huge difference in the progression and healing of your disease. In order to heal, you must provide your body with the right tools. Stop eating items that lack nutrients, such as fried foods, saturated fats and other processed foods. Try gradually switching to an organic diet that includes lots of raw vegetables and fruits. Processed foods can cause fecal build up within the colon, which is often the cause disease.

Get rid of congestion

Use colon hydrotherapy, lymphatic massage and other methods to get rid of congestion within the colon and beat disease. Removing waste buildup from your body gets rid of toxins and other harmful bacteria that causes illness.

Colonics vs. an enema: which one wins?

admin — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 17:16:42 +0000

Many of our clients in the Los Angeles area ask us the difference between colon hydrotherapy and an enema. While both involve cleansing the colon by infusing water into the rectum, there are several key difference between the two.

What is an enema?

An enema is the process of introducing liquid – often warm sterile distilled water – into the rectum as a bowel stimulant. It mainly cleanses the lower part of the colon and is a one-time infusion of water. Enemas can be used to relieve constipation and impacted fecal matter, but its main function is as a bowel stimulant.

What is a colonic?

Colonics is a natural process of cleansing the colon. It uses warm, soothing water that is filtered and gently instilled into the colon via the rectum. Unlike an enema, colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire colon and activates the natural peristalsis of the body. Water and waste is moved out of the body through a waste tube, moving toxins out while hydrating the body.

The key differences

Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the entire length of the colon, whereas enemas only cleanse the lower part.
During colonics, waste and toxins leave the body through a tube. You’re covered and do not smell or see the fecal matter. An enema involves a single infusion – waste is passed afterward in the toilet.
Colon hydrotherapy involves multiple sessions, whereas an enema is a single infusion.
Cleansing the colon with a colonic must be done by a trained colon hydrotherapist. Enemas can be performed at home – there are several disposable kits available.

Overall, a colonic is more effective at cleansing the entire colon, hydrating the body and activating natural methods of cleansing within the body.

How safe is a colonic?

admin — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:46:18 +0000

How safe is a colonic?

Are you hesitant about colon hydrotherapy because you’re unfamiliar with the process?

Colon cleansing is a very safe and effective way to rid the digestive tract of toxins. When used with modern equipment, such as we have at our colonic Los Angeles spas, colon hydrotherapy is safer than an enema. In fact, colon hydrotherapy has more benefits than an enema. Enemas are only able to reach the rectum and lower area of the colon, but a colon cleanse is able to reach throughout the entire colon.

Colon hydrotherapy benefits are numerous and can impact the health of the entire body.

The treatment

Modern colon hydrotherapy uses pre-sterilized and disposable tools for the procedure to eliminate the possibility of contamination. During the procedure, a speculum is inserted into the rectum while a gentle flow of soothing warm, filtered and sterilized water is instilled into the colon. The natural peristalsis of the body is activated by the water, which moves waste and water out of the body.

Your treatment should feel refreshing and relaxing. The entire session takes about 45 minutes, and afterward you can return to your normal daily activities.

Colon hydrotherapy benefits

The benefits of colonics aren’t limited to the colon; cleansing can have a wide variety of benefits on your overall health. Colon cleansing can restore the balance within your gut, clean out toxins and rid the intestinal tract of hardened fecal matter.

At our colonic Los Angeles spas, we’ve helped a variety of ailments through colon hydrotherapy and other alternative methods. Regular colonics can help with constipation, diarrhea, headaches, skin problems, mental confusion, low energy, bad breath and several other conditions.

In addition to colon cleansing, we offer lymphatic drainage massage, ear candling, raindrop therapy, colonic irrigation plus moxibustion, the Chi Machine and personalized detox programs.

What is a coffee enema?

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 20:17:07 +0000

Popularized by Max Gerson of the Gerson Institute, coffee enemas have been used to treat obesity, constipation and tuberculosis. But this type of enema has received more attention for its usage of curing cancer. According to Max Gerson, the coffee enema has a positive influence on the gasto-intestinal tract, removing toxins and bile in the liver more effectively than a regular enema.

How it works

During a session, coffee is inserted into the anus in order to cleanse the rectum, intestines and liver. Caffeine is absorbed into the system, which cleans out the liver while also promoting the production of bile. The bile then moves out of the liver towards the small intestine, cleaning out the intestinal tract.

Coffee enemas and colon hydrotherapy are often paired together as part of a personalized detox package for optimum health benefits. Combined, they completely cleanse the system of toxins that may cause illnesses.

Why get a coffee enema?

In combination with colonics, coffee enemas provide numerous benefits to the body. A major contributor to illness is often a buildup and absorption of toxins through the intestines. Some foods – especially processed foods– don’t digest properly within the digestive system. Those undigested foods then start to rot and produce harmful chemicals, which can be absorbed into the liver.

With a coffee enema, toxins are removed from the liver and intestinal tract by improving bile flow, therefore relieving the body of harmful bacteria and substances.

After a coffee enema you’ll have more energy and should notice an improvement in any illnesses. We recommend combining coffee enemas with colon hydrotherapy on a regular basis at our Spas in Los Angeles for overall health.

Contact us today for a consultation regarding coffee enemas, colon hydrotherapy, lymphatic drainage massage, ear candling, raindrop therapy or spa packages.

Only receive a coffee enema from a qualified professional.

Probiotics for a healthy gut

admin — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 18:50:23 +0000

The term probiotics has been floating around the alternative health arena for quite some time now. What are they? Probiotics, to put it simply, are living microorganisms that can be found in the human gut. They are the friendly bacteria that when given in tolerable amounts, can greatly benefit the body. Many have started using probiotics in congruence with colon hydrotherapy to alleviate certain aliments such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, stomach inflammation, periodontal disease and skin infections.

Where are they found?

Probiotics can be found in a variety of food products and dietary supplements. Food that contains probiotics includes milk, yogurt, some juices, soy beverages and miso.

Uses for health

So why is such a big deal for health? These friendly bacteria are crucial to the development of the immune system and are used to protect against bad bacteria in the gut that can cause disease. They also are vital for digestion and the absorption of nutrients within the body. The balance in a person’s gut can play a major role in disease and can be affected by antibiotics and unfriendly bacteria. Therefore, probiotics can be used to treat diarrhea, to reduce the recurrence of bladder cancer, to shorten the duration of intestinal infections and to prevent urinary tract infections.

Probiotics and Colon Hydrotherapy

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes and Santa Monica, we believe that taking probiotics along with regular colon hydrotherapy can benefit your health tremendously and provide overall mind and body wellness. Colonics in Santa Monica and Palos Verdes can cleanse your body of harmful toxins and bad bacteria that cause disease.

How Moxibustion can help you heal

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:36:38 +0000

With the increasing assault of FDA approved medications, many people overlook the array of benefits that alternative medicine holds. Moxibustion is a tradition Chinese medicine that involves the burning of tightly bound herbs to target acupunture points and expedite the body’s natural healing process. In combination with colonic irrigation, it can provide tremendous benefits to the body.

How Moxibustion is used

The purpose of moxibustion is to promote the body’s natural healing process. The herbs are burned at acupuncture points and the heat produced penetrates into the body to restore balance and qi. At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes, we use moxibustion in combination with colonic irrigation for a complete total body cleanse.

Types of moxibustion

There are two common types of moxibustion: direct and indirect. Direct moxibustion involves the burning of moxa (tightly wound dried leaves from mugwort and wormwood) directly on the acupuncture points. This method promotes healing but also can produce pain and scarring.

Indirect moxibustion involves burning the tightly wound herbs above the skin or on an acupuncture needle that’s already in place. It can also be done by placing garlic, ginger or salt on the skin and then burning the moxa. This method produces little or no pain and no scarring.

What ailments is it used for?

Moxibustion dates back thousands of years to early northern China. It has been used for digestive problems, ulcers, arthritis, and to increase circulation to the pelvis.

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes we offer colonic irrigation and moxibustion to provide you with a total body benefit. Contact us today for your consultation.

Can Heavy Metal Detox Help Prevent Breast Cancer?

admin — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 23:09:34 +0000

As one of the leading causes of cancer deaths, breast cancer diagnoses are increasing throughout the world. But many studies are now saying that iron plays a major role in the development of breast cancer. A study by the Department of Bimolecular Sciences in Urbino Italy, found that the ductal fluid of women with breast cancer had higher levels of ferritin, a protein that transports iron and aluminum. It isn’t necessarily the intake of iron that causes cancer, but the release of it within the body that is harmful.

Why is the release of iron dangerous?

More than 90 percent of the iron we intake binds to protective proteins within the body. Free iron, that is iron that isn’t bound to protective proteins, can cause inflammation, free radical generation and lipid peroxidation within the body.

What causes the release?

Both aluminum and alcohol have been linked to the release of iron. Large amounts of either substance can cause the iron to free from its protein and build up within the body. If this occurs, a tumor can form. Vaccines have also been linked to an increase of aluminum within the body.

How can Heavy Metal Detox Help?

A heavy metal detox program, can keep the body clean of heavy metals that cause adverse effects. At Transformational Health in Santa Monica and Palos Verdes, we offer a wide variety of solutions for heavy metal detox. We carry Detoxamin and a selection of other products to rid the body of heavy metals. Call us today for a personalized detox program.

Getting Rid of Your Appendix? Not So Fast.

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:04:53 +0000

While much of modern medicine informs us that the appendix is a relatively useless organ in our bodies, recent research points to the opposite.

It’s no secret that appendicitis is a dangerous infection for humans. If the appendix becomes enlarged or infected, the results can be fatal if you do not seek medical attention. However, a healthy appendix may do more than simply sit between the intestines. Dr. Joseph Mercola recently included some surprising facts about what your appendix can actually do for your personal well being. Coupled with a study from the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the article reveals that your appendix helps with some very crucial body functions.

The Journal of Theoretical Biology shows that the appendix operates as a source of backup bacteria – the good bacteria that is essential to maintaining a healthy digestive system. When the bacteria in the colon are affected due to sickness, the appendix can help to ensure a good balance of bacteria in your system.

It appears that the bacteria in the appendix may perform some very crucial tasks, too. From helping to protect your system from allergies to producing vitamins and helping maintain strong immune systems, the appendix produces bacteria that are vital to a comfortable existence. In addition to all of these possible benefits, Mercola’s writing reveals that the absence of an appendix has been linked to elevated risks of Crohn’s disease.

The widespread presence of an appendix in more than 70 percent of primate and rodent groups is another piece of evidence that supports the need for an appendix. While modern medicine is only beginning to determine what exactly this organ does, we can be certain that we will discover other surprising elements of the appendix’s role in the human body.

We at Transformational Health believe that the key to avoiding any problems with your appendix is directly linked to the cleanliness of the intestinal tract. Prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

Juice Cleansing – The Benefits of Clearing Your System

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:30:51 +0000

Think about your daily intake: a quick fast food breakfast in the morning, breathing in secondhand smoke on an afternoon walk and taking medicine for a headache when you return home in the evening. Throughout each day, we consume loads of preservatives and pollutants that our bodies are not meant to digest. While exercise and rest can help rid our bodies of some of these unnatural products, many toxins remain in our systems.

With these toxins clogging your digestive tract, you can experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. From constipation to extreme fatigue and depression, an unclean colon can lead to plenty of other personal health problems that make day-to-day living more challenging.

Juice cleansing is a natural way to help our bodies to feel fresher, brighter and better. Because of so many pollutants in your digestive tract, your colon may have trouble releasing all of the harmful material in your body’s system. While some forms of detoxification can be somewhat stressful and challenging on the body, juice cleansing is a painless way to ensure that your body is working well. When paired with a diet change, juice cleansing can also help spur a healthy weight loss.

Juice cleansing diets operate on different schedules. Shorter cleansings require three days of abstaining from food while drinking only juice, and more rigorous cleansings can last an entire month. The mixture helps flush the toxins from your system and breaks down any colon buildup.

While some people worry that juice cleansings can deprive your body of nutrients from food, fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juices provide plenty of vitamins and minerals that keep your immune system strong. You can find recipes for juice cleansing on websites for natural healing practices. All of these recipes will involve fruits, vegetables and water, which help maintain an appropriate level of energy while keeping you hydrated.

After a proper juice cleansing, you can expect to feel a significant energy boost while feeling confident that your digestive system will work more efficiently. Depending on your workplace, stress level and a number of other factors, you may want to consider juice cleansings multiple times each year.

Chelation – Removing Heavy Metal from Your Body

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:25:17 +0000

While you may not know it, your body is full of heavy metals right now. Aluminum, mercury, lead and other metallic elements find their way into our bodies via the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe. Dental fillings have been linked to toxic levels of mercury. Small doses of metal can build up to dangerous levels of these elements and have extremely negative effects on our bodies. Some experts have attributed heavy metal buildups to heart disease and cancer.

Fortunately, there are ways to cleanse our bodies and remove these heavy metals from our systems. One of the most successful natural healing methods is chelation.

After heavy metals enter the body, they bind themselves within tissue, making them hard to remove through the body’s natural digestive processes. The detoxification process of chelation involves elements that bind to the heavy metals and help remove them from body tissue.

Chelation formulas use a combination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other elements that promote natural healing. Chelation can be done intravenously and orally with a variety of natural healing foods such as garlic and cilantro. The heavy metals exit the body through urine and feces.

Chelation’s effectiveness has been questioned by the American Heart Association, and other governing medical bodies have concerns about the safety of intravenous chelation. However, chelation’s ability to help cure lead poisoning is well-documented, and many supporters of natural healing believe chelation can help treat autism and heart disease. All medical experts can agree one issue: a buildup of toxic heavy metals in our systems can have detrimental effects on the way our bodies function.
