Colon Hydrotherapy Benefits

The bowel functions more efficiently when the elimination of waste is thorough. Thorough elimination leaves you feeling more vibrant, energetic and rejuvenated!

Cleansing the colon with colon hydrotherapy helps to rebalance the alkaline-acid ratio in the body. Friendly bacteria thrive in a cleansed internal environment, while disease-causing bacteria cannot survive.

A clean colon allows for improved nutritional absorption, as well. When the colon is cleansed, a healthy eating and exercise program can help prevent the re-build up of toxins in the body, and sustain the increased levels of energy and vitality often experienced after a cleanse.

Colon hydrotherapy is a valuable tool in promoting good health. Results are best when the treatments are combined with sensible eating and exercise. Reducing or eliminating alcohol, caffeine and drug consumption is important for long term, well-balanced, good health.

The following graph lists commonly reported effects after a sufficient number of colonics:

Whole Foods: Defender of Food Rights?

My family and I have been avid fans and supporters of Whole Foods for two decades. We lived in Austin, and shopped at the original, and very funky Whole Foods store. We loved Whole Foods from the beginning.

Our love for Whole Foods is dying an agonizing and slow death. The last straw: No more raw milk!

The Best Six Healthcare Reform Doctors

I lifted this quote from my college son's research paper on the history of Chinese medicine. Very wise!

The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.

~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields in his book
What the River Knows, 1990

Chia Seeds or Flax Seeds

Both chia and flax seeds are rich in dietary fiber: one ounce of flax seeds contains 5.6 grams while the same amount of chia seeds contains 10.7 grams.

Flax seeds and chia seeds are nutrient rich. They are both concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's SR19 Nutrient Database, one ounce of flax seeds contains about 4.7 grams of ALA while one ounce of chia seeds contains about 5 grams.

Like all seeds, both chia and flax contain significant amounts of minerals and a variety of vitamins. Both chia and flax contain an ample quantity of protein in relation to their size.

Researchers have analyzed more closely the nutritional profile of flax seeds than the profile of chia seeds. For this reason, we know that flax seeds are concentrated sources of lignan phytonutrients, which have antioxidant and other properties. There have been some animal studies showing potential benefits of flax seeds (or lignans obtained from flax seeds) for the health of the prostate gland and some human studies showing possible benefits for the cardiovascular system. However, the extent of these benefits in humans remains a matter of controversy and debate. (It's the extent of the benefits that remains unclear in these studies-not the nature of the flax seeds as a beneficial food). Although there has been less research with chia seeds than with flax seeds, one might expect potential benefits (and perhaps some controversy) with respect to these seeds as well.
