If your colon is not functioning properly (and most people do not have a properly functioning colon), nothing will effectively get rid of -- tiredness, lack of energy, and that all-to-familiar feeling of depletion; a variety of stomach disorders will occur, and a host of maladies will gradually beset your body. It's that simple.

That's why it's important that you read what's below .

This is a healthy colon

The colon is one of the most important (but unfortunately least talked about) organs in our body. When a healthy colon operates normally, toxic waste gets eliminated, instead of backing up into the system. If it is not working well, the entire body suffers and health deteriorates.

HEALTH AND THE COLON - Good health is a desire we all have and share. While we may spend time and effort on dieting and exercise, often that is not enough. Toxic waste builds up in our colons through poor nutrition and bowel habits. This waste impairs the colon's ability to assimilate properly the minerals and vitamins we need. A buildup of material along the colon wall causes sluggish bowel movements, constipation and other problems. The poisons resulting from this waste re-enter and circulate in the blood stream, making us feel tired and depleted. The removal of this harmful waste from our bodies becomes an important element in our goal of achieving optimal physical and mental health.

TOXICITY - Toxicity effects our nervous system, making us feel irritable, depressed and anxious; it effects our glands, making us tired and lacking in enthusiasm and drive; headaches, allergies and skin disorders occur; we crave sugars and starches; gassiness and bloatedness arise. Toxicity effects the way we feel emotionally and physically.

WHAT COLON THERAPY DOES - Colon Therapy can help eliminate this toxic waste that effects our health so negatively. A soothing flow of warm water gently circulates throughout the colon, coaxing the body to release the impacted waste that has accumulated. Harmful fungi and bacteria are often eliminated. Once the colon is clean, the body and the mind benefit immeasurably. Clients report an improvement in appearance, mental attitude and overall physical health. Some clients rave that skin tone improves, weight loss is promoted, and stress relieved. The craving for junk food is alleviated. Constipation and discomforting abdominal pain are often reduced or eliminated and that a feeling of energy replaces the old run-down feeling that was once like second nature. No wonder many world-renowned celebrities use colon therapy on a regular basis for optimal health!

	A COLON THERAPY SESSION AND ITS COST
A COLONIC SESSION	The client wears a full-length gown and lies down on his left side. A small instrument is gently inserted into the rectum. Rubber tubing begins to simultaneously carry clean water in and waste out in a mildly pressurized system. After a few minutes the client lies on his back while the session continues. Gentle abdominal massage is performed periodically on the client by a trained therapist, who administers and monitors the entire procedure. The session typically lasts anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes.
PREPARATION FOR THE COLONIC	The day before your appointment have two salads, one with your lunch and one with your dinner. In the dinner salad, add one tablespoon of cooked corn (this is invaluable in determining the transit time of food through your system). Do not eat any rice, pasta or bread the day before or on the day of your colonic. Do not eat two hours before your appointment.
PRICING SCHEDULE	The first visit, which usually takes up to 1 hour and 15 minutes, and costs $95 . Should you desire to do a full detoxification program, each subsequent visit would cost $80 and last approximately an hour. A full detoxification program consists of an average of eight visits. Note: There is a $25 rebooking fee if a client fails to give 24 hour notice (48 hour for Monday appointments) for cancellation or if client fails to show up, payable in advance of next appointment.

After setting up an appointment with Health Connections Center & Spa, the client is asked to fill out a questionnaire involving health history, eating habits, emotional states, traveling habits (to determine possible source of parasitic infection), and vitamin and nutritional supplements used.
