HOW SHOULD A PERSON PREPARE BEFORE A COLONIC SESSION?

• The day before your appointment eat a variety of fruits (especially apples), vegetables (please include red peppers or corn), and certain herbs -- suggestion: cascara sagrada, or wheat grass, or barley green, or spirulina, or alfalfa tablets, or aloe vera juice. It helps to dissolve accumulated fecal matter.
  
• Some exercise is helpful (walking is good).
  
• Have a light meal a few hours before your appointment.
  
• Reduce your intake of refined foods, white flour, sugars and mucous producing foods (dairy products).
  
• Avoid fried foods, all junk foods and red meats.
  
• Do not chew gum, eat gassy foods, yeast producing foods, and carbonated beverages. These foods will produce excess gases and may cause discomfort and difficulty evacuating. Some examples of gassy foods are: chewing gum, cabbage, broccoli, sodas, wine, beer, hard liquor, all yeast producing foods (bread, muffins, some starches, etc).

DOES A COLONIC HURT?

Colonics are painless. Some discomfort may be experienced due to constipation, some form of obstruction, spasticity, excess flatulence (gases) and occasional cramping from the release of fecal matter or toxins.

WHAT'S TO BE EXPECTED DURING A COLONIC SESSION?

You may experience some pressure in the rectum and abdomen as the water fills your colon, some cramping as the body tries to extricate fecal matter, some gas pain, tingling of hands and feet, a warming and cooling sensation in different parts of the body, dizziness, headaches and anxiety to eliminate. In some cases, however, because of the years of accumulated crammed and hardened fecal matter on the walls of the colon, many people achieve little or no release on their 1st or 2nd series. On those visits merely a little more than clear water passes through the tube.

However, on the 3rd visit, the fecal matter begins to breakdown with the help of massage to the abdomen and the suggested herbs. For those individuals it is recommended that the next colonic appointment must be within a week interval until a satisfactory released is achieved.

HOW MANY COLONICS WILL A PERSON NEED?

Because of months or years of accumulated fecal matter, Hosanna highly recommends 6 to 10 colonics within a period of weeks for maximum benefits for all 1st time clients. For all other regular colonic clients, if your last session was over a six months period we recommend a follow up session as quickly as possible to avoid future accumulation of fecal matter, mucus, gases and toxins.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A COLONIC SESSION?

After a colonic session you may or may not experience immediate results or changes. (Note: Some changes may be experienced or observed over a period of time.)

Some changes may include a sense of cleanliness and lightness, drained or tired, relaxed, hungry, stomach may feel gassy or crampy, tender anus, stomach a little sore due to the massage, renewed energy and mental alertness, improved quality of vision plus other benefits — or a feeling of nausea, because of the rapid expelled of toxins. Also many people have experience little or no bowel movement a day, two or even a week after the session. This is due to a complete cleansing and a very slow transit time of fecal matter through the intestinal tract. These are just some of the immediate effects after a colonic session.

Some long term benefits may include: Better skin appearance, continuous boost in energy level, normal and regular bowel movements, better sleeping pattern, and of course improved functioning of the immune system. After a colonic session you may return to your regular daily routine. A colonic does not impede a person from returning immediately to their day to day activities due to any type of side effects such as diarrhea, leaking or stomach pains.

WHAT CAN A PERSON EAT AFTER A COLONIC?

Following a colonic session bananas and apples are highly recommended for they have the necessary minerals to replenish the electrolytes you may have lost during the session (sodium, potassium & magnesium). However, when the body is properly nourished with good quality organic foods, the level of electrolyte in the colon is replenished immediately. Some suggested nourishing foods may include a freshly squeezed vegetable or fruit juices, a large variety of green salad, steamed or broiled or rotisserie style salmon, chicken or turkey (of course, if you are a vegetarian omit the meats). Eat at least 50% of your food raw everyday for at least five days, followed by an 8 oz. glass of lemon water....Mmmm.... bon appetite.

WILL COLONIC REGULATE A PERSON'S BOWEL MOVEMENTS?

That depends on a wide variety of factors and conditions including whether your intestines are experiencing some form of abnormality such as an obstruction, spasticity, severe internal hemorrhoid, poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, lack of exercise, poor posture, medication, drugs, misuse of laxatives, emotional upsets, just to name a few. Otherwise, once the waste is passed out of the colon, the new stool will move through the colon at a steady, regular pace — not too fast or too slow.

HOW MUCH FECAL MATTER CAN A PERSON LOSE PER SESSION?

A person can lose up to three or more pounds per colonic session, depending on how loose the stool is and the condition of the colon.

CAN A PERSON LOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE OF COLONICS?

Yes. The Villi, which covers the lining of the small intestine, absorbs and carries fluids and nutrients to the blood which in turn nourish the cells of the body. When the Villi is plaque-coated with old fecal matter it prevents absorption of nutrients. That's the reason the body is unable to assimilate any good nutrients and a person needs to eat twice as much in order to assimilate the nutrients. This is all the more reason to clean the impacted fecal matter from our colons; we can then eat less and assimilate better.
