“My true belief is that colon hydrotherapy is the perfect cleansing medium for preparing the patient for a colonoscopy.  It's a much better way of getting the human colon ready for an operation than having a patient swallow a gallon of that pre-surgery solution known as 'Colon-Go-Lytely.'  Instead, colon hydrotherapy allows the patient to avoid this solutions' noxious side effects of vomiting diarrhea abdominal cramping and other trouble.”

“After conducting a comprehensive digestive stool analysis on any patient suspected of having dysbiosis (poor intestinal hygiene), I attempt to clean the bowel clean by prescribing colon hydrotherapy once a week three times.  Also I use colon hydrotherapy as part of an overall detoxification program.  It is an excellent detoxifier for overindulgence of alcohol drinking and drug addictions of all kinds.  It takes away any desire to use drugs or imbibe alcoholic beverages.  Colon hydrotherapy should be part of nearly any addict’s therapeutic regimen.”
