A colonic (as Edgar Cayce so often referred to this procedure) is an internal bath using a professional machine to cleanse the colon. Current scientific evidence shows that a properly functioning colon is beneficial to overall health.
During a colonic, warm, filtered water is gently infused into the colon and then released, in a series of fills and flushes that generally continue for 40 to 45 minutes. The equipment is a closed system with disposable tubes and fittings; the out-bound tubing allows you to remain on the treatment table for both infusion and release.
1 Session $95 – A package of 15 sessions (in 90 days) is $1095.00 in which we aim for 3 liver/gall bladder flushes. Discounts for pre-paid packages most weight loss clients buy packages of 15 -30 sessions. Detoxing from Heavy metals or Chemotherapy can be two to three times that number because of the depth toxins are adhered to the intestinal wall and other tissues. Reading Dr Bernard Jensen’s book on “Tissue Cleansing through Bowel Management” can be very educational. Certification for Colon Hydro Therapy is one week long (45 hrs) and fees are $3500. Any questions you might have can be answered by Dr Allen @ 970-201-5110

If you’re scheduling a colonic, please read these pages for
self-screening and for pre-colonic suggestions
PRE-COLON HYDROTHERAPY PREPARATION
Colonic Preparation
§ Please have a light meal or a healthy snack two to three hours before your appointment. After that, have no more solid food prior to your colonic. You may have some juice or water just before the appointment, if desired. (Note: If your colonic is part of a half-day spa package, it is important that you have a regular meal before your appointment, to avoid any light-headedness. You may eat up to 1 hour before your appointment, in this case.)
§ Avoid gas-forming foods the day before your appointment. Bananas beans, broccoli, cabbage, carbonated beverages, cauliflower, cucumbers, melons, raw apples or onions, peppers, and unripe fruit typically trigger gas. Avoid these or any foods that cause gas for you.
§ The Edgar Cayce readings suggest that applying a castor oil pack for an hour on three days in a row before your appointment will facilitate your most effective colonic. The Cayce readings also recommend consuming a half-teaspoon or so of cold-pressed (extra virgin) olive oil after each pack.
POST-COLON HYDROTHERAPY SUGGESTIONS
§ Avoid gas-forming foods for two days after your colonic session. Bananas, beans, broccoli, cabbage, carbonated beverages, cauliflower, cucumbers, melons, raw apples or onions, peppers, and unripe fruit typically trigger gas. Avoid these or any foods that cause gas for you.
§ Eat yogurt with live cultures for several days and have plenty of fruit, vegetables, salads with olive oil dressing, and whole grains or animal protein.
§ Between meals, drink a minimum of 48 ounces of water a day.
§ Avoid strenuous exercise the day of your appointment.
§ Your next elimination is usually within one to three days.
§ Please call if you have any questions, Dr Allen; Denver; 970-201-5110.

Examples of Benefits:
Wheat Grass, Acidophilus Ozone and Oxygen all have a cleansing, antiseptic and solvent action on the intestines whereby putrefactive material impacted fecal matter, excess mucous, and even pus and infected tissues are removed from the colon. This leaves a clean colon, which you can understand means a healthier colon.
· Oxygen is essential for healing of sores and wounds. However, most people have little or no oxygen available in the colon for such purposes. Their acidophilus or lactobacilli have been destroyed by taking antibiotics, by improper eating habits, constipation, diarrhea, parasites, infected colon etc. Colonics help alleviate these symptoms.
· Colon therapy has an anthemlintic action – this means parasites are removed. An autopsy, over 90 percent of the people examined have some form of parasites. The most common of all is tapeworm. Which can takes years to get under control doing colonic sessions. But maybe devestating to your health with out treatments. Many vegetarians have various parasites. Their eggs may be eaten with vegetables or fruit. Threadworms and hookworms may pass through the unbroken skin – sometimes contracted by walking barefoot in the grass. It is also common to see parasites in animal owners and fresh/raw fish eaters.
· Colon therapy also increases the water level and diuretic action. The water is absorbed, this increases the volume of the blood. Circulation is thereby increased, resulting in greater bathing of the individual cells; this dilutes toxins and flushed them out; relieves uremia and toxemia, increases the elimination through both kidneys and skin – as well as the bowels. This generally assists the cardiovascular and circulatory system to be more efficient. Because of this we do not administer colonics on someone with liver cancer, it increases their blood volume and they can bleed to death.
· The warm water used to bathe the colon can be utilized to supply heat to the body. The cleansing action with heat is great for relieving colds and flu and probably the greatest of all is the benefit of heat when a person is tense and irritable. X-rays following treatments have demonstrated that spastic colon are relaxed – relieving not only the muscle spasm, but also the swollen, irritated and inflamed tissues which accompany this problem. Heat also aids in removing the parasites from the colon.
· Conversely, the effects of cold water can also be most beneficial when applied physiologically. Anytime there is hyperpyrexia or fever, cold will aid in reducing it. Swollen and edematous tissues can be alleviated. Flaccid or loose and elongated colon (many people’s large intestines are stretched out by 2 feet up to as much as 4 or 5 feet ) can be improved using cold. Atonic colons, accompanied by gas and intestinal stasis, will benefit greatly by toning up and inducing peristalsis. It serves as a cholagogue. Dr Allen calls it a “Bow Flex” exercise for the large intestine.
· Many colon x-rays show that pressure is exerted in the liver area resulting in irritation to both liver and gallbladder. A series of colonics can be used to relieve the presence of liver/gall stones in some clients.
· Colon therapy with organic additives has a definitive calming effect on the nervous system. Nervousness and irritability are both lessened. The patient not only becomes easier to live with, but feels so much better from improved nerve function and lessened toxins that irritate the nerves.
· Many people are overweight. Some patients have eliminated as much as 10 to 25 lbs just from getting their lower gastrointestinal track “cleaned out”. Intestinal stasis is responsible for the accumulation of large amounts of fecal matter in the area as well allowing the body wastes to build up at the cellular level. Often proper colon therapy aids greatly in eliminating unwanted and unsightly excess pounds – not to mention that dull, irritable, logy feeling that is so prevalent also. Metabolism is often enhanced when a series of colonics is administered with nutritional supervision and exercise.
A large series of colonics is sometimes necessary to dislodge hardened waste, under the supervision of a trained professional. Colonic irrigation is most effective when employed in combination with exercise and proper diet of non mucous – producing foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables and certain herbs are suggested to help loosen and dissolve the hardened “Tire Rubber” or “Teflon coating”. Often other procedures are indicated such as nutritional counseling, synergie treatments or herbal therapy.
Once the colon is clean, it is advisable to continue our At-Home Maintenance Program which guarantees healthy tone. Return visits of 3 to 5 sessions are usually recommended during the change of seasons, when diet and exercise patterns often change. You should also have a colonic before, during, or after a fast or healing crisis to hasten the removal of the toxic waste. Colonics can also be most helpful during a family crisis, or divorce transition. Anthony Robbins recommends them when you want to ‘go to the next level’ you have to get the old stuff (poo) out!
By cleansing the colon of impacted and putrefactive matter, colonics offer relief from a variety of disturbances. Fatigue, gas, headaches, irritability, skin problems, cold hands and feet, and lethargy are among the symptoms people have found relieved by colon cleansing. Constipation, of course, is another, as well as chronic diarrhea. With colonic irrigation, your sense of well being is often dramatically improved. You feel lighter, more energetic and concentration improves. The body can again take nourishment from food and defend itself against disease.
Some helpful answers others have received
What are the possible side effects of the colonic?
Some side effects of colonics would be as follows:
1- Major energy increase
2- Decrease in distention, gas and bloat.
3- Helps with proper absorption of food.
4- The beginnings of clear skin
5- Removal of constipation etc….
What are the risks with this procedure?
There are NO Risks…. The Risk comes about when the need for a colonic is overlooked ! Dr Allen cautions the need to know and trust your colon hygienist.
Is it going to hurt?
Not at all. The speculum is only inserted a few inches, less than the length of a finger. It feels ‘odd’, not painful.
Will I be able to go straight to work from your office?
Absolutely ! For example…..a major practice in NY has the NBC T.V. studio right on the next street, and they tend to do a lot of the soap opera stars during their lunch hour.
They just walk over to us during their break and then run back to work feeling lighter. And except for themselves. The camera, and millions of viewers can never tell the difference. Dr Allen has had clients & students travel from all over the world to work with her, and their experiences have been written about in major magazines.
I hope this explains the procedure to make an appt. and a bit more info you might find helpful. If by chance you visit the clinic on my day off please at some point during your treatment schedule, book a colonic with me. It will be given by my loving, expert hands… Please don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all. For over 30 years I have been administering colonics to all ages – from 2 years old to 90… and they all keep coming back!
*Post Colonic, your hygienist may recomend supplements based on the results/findings she see’s during your treatment session, and what your doctor has prescribed. Cost range from $55 to $200-ish
