Colon Hydrotherapy	Tattwa Different	Preparation	FAQs

A: The colon is located right in the middle of the abdomen in the area at and below the naval (belly button). It rests just on the foreword portion of the pelvic cavity and atop the bladder - which could account for why colon problems and bladder/urinary problems are often together.

Q: Why is the colon important & what does it do?

A: The colon is classified as a "smooth" muscle organ. This means that it does not contract (like legs or arms), but pushes (like the esophagus) the solid material within the colon from the lower bottom right of the hip (illeium), up the right side (ascending portion), then across the bowel just at or below the belly button (transverse portion), where it goes to the left and turns down the left side (descending portion) to the sigmoid colon (exit point). The sigmoid is where the waste material fills up and puts pressure against its walls, which causes the natural occurring response to want to go and defacate. The colon’s primary physical job is to transport wasted food fiber and draw solid, heavier wastes from the body’s lymphatic’s and expel the whole lot. In tandem with this, it is the production site for Vitamin B-12. The body does produce its own B-12... if the colon is clean and functioning properly.

Q: Does the colon have bacteria in it?

A: Yes, bacteria helps with the fermentation of the waste material. Bacteria in the colon is helpful in aiding digestion

Q: Is it true a person can have a gas pain or spasm that can simulate a heart or gallbladder attack?

A: Yes, because part of the colon is under the ribs, thus the pain can simulate either attack.

Q: What are the funny noises I can hear in my stomach area?

A: Contractions of the small or large intestinal tract, usually caused by certain foods.

Q: Does the colon or rectum have any feeling?

A: The only feeling is distention; otherwise, no feeling at all. This is the very reason colorectal cancer sneaks up on people who don't keep their colon clean via internal cleansing, as in the case of the husband of NBC Today's Show's Katey Couric who died at 42 of colon cancer. He never suspected it. If a person swallows a nail and it perforates the wall, there's no feeling until infection sets in. There are no nerves in the area. You must have regular daily bowel movements. Constipation begins with the pressing together of one feces to another. This is one type; another is when old feces stick to the wall of the colon and do not pass out with regular bowel movements. Both types are so common that hardly anyone recognizes them as being unnatural.

Q: Is constipation the real cause of cancer?

A: Health-oriented physicians around the world unequivocally say YES! That's why a clean colon is so vital to good health. Possibly the single most damaging thing that can be done to the colon is constipation.

Q: How do cancers of the colon spread in the body?

A: By the bloodstream, but more commonly through the lymphatic system, which drains the colon and the rectum. The cancer starts growing on the lining of the colon, then spreads through the bowel wall. Next, through the lymphatic system to the adjacent lymph nodes. From the nodes it goes to distant organs (liver, lungs, pancreas, kidney) which reminds us of where John Wayne's lung cancer & Jackie Onassis' lymph cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) really started. Especially when doctors were surprised to find over 40 lbs. of fecal waste in Wayne's large colon on autopsy.

Q: What irritates the colon & why is it so sensitive?

A: Many factors can irritate the well being of the colon. It goes without saying that constipation is one of the worse. But add to this the irritating effect of a wrong kind of fiber, a sensitivity to certain spices and/or condiments, and the reality of just how sensitive the colon really is begins to take on new importance. The sensitivity of the colon is akin to the sensitivity of the nasal membranes or membrane of the inner eye lid. We continue to put foods and artificial agents into our digestive tracts that end up in the colon as harmful chemical by-products inflicting as much or worse damage to the sensitive mucus lining of the colon.

Q: What is diverticula?

A: Pockets or sacs that form out from the wall of the colon which can become dangerous and painful from diet and infection. Tissue is made of cells, when cells are weak, or dying, they can and do easily balloon. Gas can make this happen and wrinkles begin forming everywhere.

Q: Is diverticulitis serious?

A: Extremely, especially when perforated, allowing infection between organs

Q: What causes diarrhea?

A: Anything from diet to disease. Unexcreted food wastes fermenting in the colon attract thousands of parasites that feast on these putrefied foods plastered on the lining of the colon wall. Diarrhea for more than 3 days definitely indicates parasites. There are people with chronic diarrhea who say they are not constipated because their bowels move several times a day. Yes, daily bowel movements are not constipated, but let's take a look at the cause of the diarrhea. As long as there's an irritating influence present, the colon attempts to expel it by repeatedly emptying itself of whatever can be forced out. In chronic diarrhea the accumulation of stagnant mucus, at times laden with harmful bacteria or even parasites is actively irritating. In this case, the source of irritation (as stated above) adheres to the walls of the colon and cannot be expelled. Result: chronic diarrhea, which often responds remarkably to an effective colon-cleansing. This discussion of diarrhea brings up the question of parasites again. Many varieties of intestinal worms lodge themselves in the old matter that encrusts the walls, having babies every 22 days, and the hundreds upon hundreds all excreting inside you. Parasites thrive on filthy environments. They love sugar more than you do and enjoy inhabiting the warmth of your warm body. Once the colon is cleansed of this sticky food waste material, many intestinal parasites cannot maintain a foothold in the body. Remove this old, putrid, decaying mucous matter and you will flush these parasites out as well.

Q: Why are there so many drugstore laxatives?

A: Because one laxative usually does not satisfy a person for long. A person will take a laxative and pass a lot of material; as he continues laxative doses closer together, obviously his colon is completely empty. When nothing is produced after consecutive laxatives, it makes him feel the laxative is not working. He goes back to the drugstore to find another one that may work better.
