The Healing Power of Detoxification

The Secret - If you are serious about healing, regenerating,  and revitalizing your body, starting a detoxification program will be the most important paradigm shift of your life. 

The Reality - On a daily basis, we are exposed to and steadily accumulate disease-producing toxins through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Even negative emotions can add to our toxic load. In this age of environmental stressors, these toxins must be removed on a regular basis or we set ourselves up for chronic illness.

The Answer - Connie and her husband, Bruce, both I-ACT Certified Colon Hydrotherapists, own Hydro Health of Western Massachusetts. They can help you reduce your “toxic body burden” in their highly personalized, private, clean facility, using state-of-the-art FDA-approved equipment. The body uses many pathways to eliminate toxins. The pathways that Hydro Health taps into are the gastrointestinal tract, the lymphatic system, and the integumentary system (skin). The experience is relaxing and restorative.

How It Began - After many years of suffering with gut issues including colitis, constipation, IBS, fatigue, and severe diarrhea (which at times left Connie unable to work), she consulted with numerous Boston doctors with no hope. She finally opened the doorway to healing by adopting a grain-free diet and was introduced to colon hydrotherapy by a therapist in Kansas who had also regained her health after being chronically ill.

Colon Hydrotherapy
What We Offer 
- Colon Hydrotherapy (Colonic-Lymphatic Enhanced Detoxification). Many people are unaware that more than half of the detoxification and immune system for the entire body occurs in the gut. Colon Hydrotherapy (colonics) access both the gastrointestinal tract and the lymphatic system. Colonics help remove impacted feces, parasites, intestinal flatus, and cellular debris, and they cleanse and rejuvenate the portion of the immune system that resides in the intestinal tract. As a result, this therapy becomes a whole body tissue cleansing on a cellular level. During colonics the muscles of the colon are exercised by peristalsis (muscular contraction) so in many cases it can restore the client’s natural and optimal bowel function. Colonics can also help release the tension caused by emotional repression. The transverse colon passes through the emotional center of the body where many “undigested” emotions are stored. In fact 60 percent of the body’s neurotransmitters are found not in the brain but rather in the gastrointestinal tract. Many renowned physicians and practitioners place great value on the therapeutic benefits of this modality and use it themselves. One example is the famous Norman Walker, MD (a pioneer in the raw foods, juicing, and vegetarian movements), who died at about 100 years old and was still researching and in vibrant health until his death. Matt Monarch, of The Raw Food World, says “Colon Hydrotherapy is one of the most effective detox methods in the world.”

Ozone Steam Sauna
- Ozone Steam Sauna. Oxygen is a basic element of life, and 
ozone provides one of the best methods of supplying it to the 
body. Ozone acts as a nonspecific antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal agent. Health benefits include stimulating the immune system, enhancing circulation, and purifying the skin. It is natural and relaxing, and does not have side effects. Ozone steam sauna therapy is a powerful method for increasing tissue and cell oxygenation, thus bringing about improvement in health and increasing longevity. 

- Far Infrared Sauna. Far infrared saunas remove toxins from the body unlike any other method of detoxification because of resonant absorption. Combining it with another heavy metal protocol, such as a chelating agent, produces remarkable results. Sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97 percent water and 3 percent toxins on average. Sweat produced under normal conditions contains 97 percent water and 3 percent toxins on average.

Far Infrared Sauna
Sweat produced from a quality far infrared sauna is 80 to 85 percent water and 15 to 20 percent toxins. These toxins will also be expelled by the kidneys, liver, and hair due to resonant absorption. Toxins excreted due to far infrared wave’s penetration include heavy metals, pesticides, and other petroleum-based chemicals, as well as fat itself. The additional health benefits are endless, including immune system enhancement, cardiovascular conditioning, pain relief, and stress relief by triggering the production of endorphin, combating toxic overload, and more.  

- IonCleanse Foot Bath. IonCleanse detoxifies and neutralizes tissue acid wastes inside the body. 


Testimonial 
“I just finished a visit to Concettina Collingwood’s Colon Hydrotherapy Spa. In addition to my self-directed colon cleanse, in which I had full control over the flow of the water, I also experienced the ozone sauna. I got a LOT out 
of both treatments and I can’t wait to go back. My body loved it! This is a clean and professional operation and everyone in the region should take advantage of this special place.” ~ Team at Sproutman, Steve Meyerowitz, Sproutman

Yes, I have heard about fecal transplants, however, we do not do them here because of I-ACT regulations.

Hi Connie, my name is Barrie and am wondering if you do any work with children.

I am looking for natural immune boosting solutions. Thank you in advance.

The human body is well constructed to cleanse and detoxify itself. But there is a limit to how the human body can cleanse itself, depending on the conditions it faces. By eating food that is deficient in fiber and nutrients, the digestive and excretory powers of the body diminish. If food does not move out of the body properly, the food will stay in the stomach for too long. There fermentation and spoilage will occur. And the longer that takes place in the intestines, the more the produced wastes will return to the bloodstream. Thus doing a sort of colon cleanse regimen is a good way to take care of the body.

I appreciate the suggestions given in this blog...
Colon hydrotherapy could help a lot to detoxify the intestine.
Issues in the intestine should not be ignored. Any symptoms which show that your intestine has some sort of disorder should not be ignored.
Suitable precautionary measures should be taken into consideration to keep the intestine healthy.
