Lou's interest in colon hydrotherapy was sparked by a long-time interest in the health readings given by Edgar Cayce. She has received colonics for 'health maintenance' since the early 1990's and has experienced the benefits of regular internal cleansing.  Her desire to be of service to others came as a result of working with the Edgar Cayce "A Search for God" material since 1988.

More personal information about Lou and her path can be found on the page called "Published Articles" and is titled: Thursday's Child Has Far To Go. 

Learn About Colon Hydrotherapy

• What is colon hydrotherapy, and why do I need it?

Colon hydrotherapy is an "internal bath" of the large intestine with warm filtered water - a safe, re-energizing, restorative non-medical procedure. A "colonic" cleansing is one of the most effective ways to get rid of toxic accumulations of bodily waste (which can build up over years), excess mucus, toxic compounds, and gas. It also helps restore colon muscle tone, rebalances intestinal flora, and improves overall health. Improving one's system of elimination removes the body's primary source of disease. A healthy, clean colon is essential to a healthy body.

• Colon hydrotherapy can be helpful for:

• Healthy intestinal maintenance
• Detoxification when fasting
• Improving colon muscle tone
• Sluggish eliminations
• Digestive discomfort (excess gas or bloating)
• Cleaning mucus and plaque buildup
• Lack of energy
• Bad breath/body odor

  

• How often does one need colon hydrotherapy?

Just a few sessions can help reverse the effects of years of improper nutrition. An initial series of 3 to 12 colonics may be recommended over a period of up to 10 weeks. Then, it has been suggested to have colonics anytime from once or twice a year to monthly (depending on the person) to maintain optimal colon health. Each person's goals can differ. Just as some people exercise on a daily or weekly basis to tone and tighten their outer bodies, some people use a regimen of ongoing colonics to cleanse, tone, and rebuild their inner bodies.

Colonics can be part of your regular health maintenance program. Your therapist will discuss the topic with you when you make your appointment, and following the first colonic.

• Is colon cleansing a new idea?
  

Not at all! In fact, Hippocrates spoke of auto-intoxication, due to constipation; The Essenes cleansed their colon using gourds and warm river water;  the 17th century became known as the "age of the enema," as daily internal washing was considered essential to well-being;  John Kellogg, M.D., founder of Kellogg cereals, suggested diet, exercise and cleansing of the colon for gastrointestinal problems (as an alternative to surgery);  and the Edgar Cayce readings recommended the benefits of everyone taking occasional "internal baths" (colon hydrotherapy).

In addition to colon hydrotherapy, Edgar Cayce recommended drinking plenty of pure water; application of castor oil packs; massage and spinal manipulation; proper diet (80% alkaline-forming foods and 20% acid-forming foods); exercise; and daily meditation and relaxation.
