Herbs
The use of herbs can be of benefit to the colon and can enhance the success
of the treatment.
Co-ton
An exact replica of Dr. John Christophers well-known formula for over- and under-active
bowels and poor eliminative capacity. Only slightly laxative, it acts mainly
to tone the colon smooth muscle, restoring normal peristaltic function. Can
be used for quite long periods at varying dosage, depending upon the individual.
1 or two capsules three times daily with meals.
Note: Not to be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Co-ton without Goldenseal
As above, but without Goldenseal, which is replaced by an extra part of fennel.
This formula should be either alternated with the regular CO-TON or should be
used to replace the regular for long-term use. Goldenseal, whilst a very useful
(and expensive!) herb, should not be used long-term.
1 or two capsules three times daily with meals.
Note: Not to be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Acidophilus
Acidophilus capsules provide specially cultured lactic bacterium.
These friendly bacteria are found in the upper digestive tract where their probiotic
action helps to maintain healthy digestion, intestinal system, food breakdown
& food metabolism. 1 or two capsules three times daily with meals.
Treatment
Lasting approx 45 mins, the treatment is a safe and effective method for cleansing
the colon of waste material by repeated gentle flushing with purified water
and special massage techniques. The water is introduced at a low gravitational
pressure, so there is no danger of bowel perforation.
The number of treatments required depends upon the individual case and advice
will be given at the first consultation. This may vary from only one treatment
to a number spread out over a period of time, after which preventative or
maintenance treatment may be continued.
