Frequently Asked Questions

Questions:

Q.  Can you tell me a little about the Clinic?
 
The Sydney Colon Health Clinic was opened in August of 1991 to fulfil a much-needed professional service in the area of Colon Health. Since August 1991, we have assisted in delivering over 60,000 treatments to some 6,000 clients.
 
We have 4 ultra modern treatment rooms which are sound proofed, have piped music, TV and Video. There are over 100 health, educational, nature, comedy and classic videos for your entertainment while you are having your treatments. Parking is easy; and we are only a 5 minute walk from St Leonards Station which is 15 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Privacy during treatment is very important and we respect your need for that. We are with you when you need us and we are not there when you don't.
 
Q.  How long does a treatment take?
 
Your first consultation and treatment is about two hours. You complete a comprehensive Health Appraisal; the therapist will discuss this with you to ascertain your major area of health concern. We check your blood pressure, weight and urine. We then take you into a room and go step by step through the entire procedure before commencing your first treatment which will take approximately 45 minutes. Subsequent treatments also take around 45 minutes.
 
Q.  What does a typical treatment involve?
 
You lie on your back in a semi reclined position on our specially designed treatment units, which have a toilet built into them. The therapist passes a pencil thin, sterile, disposable, single use, lubricated rectal tube into your anus. The tube goes in about the length of your little finger, water at body temperature and extra pure, slowly and gently under gravity feed, infuses into your bowel and as it does, you get the sensation of fullness and the need to eliminate.
 
When you get that feeling, you give a little push, same as you would if you were sitting on a regular toilet, matter and water will be eliminated into the toilet in the treatment unit. It will come out around the rectal tube, and the rectal tube will stay in place. When you finish eliminating, water again will start flowing into your bowel. You will eliminate, water will go in, you'll again eliminate and over the 45 minutes, some 14 litres of purified water will empty the entire contents of your bowel. "It's like having a shower on the inside."
 
Q.  Is it a painful procedure?
 
For the majority of people treatment is pleasant and pain free, however in cases of toxic overload and severe bowel dysfunction there may be some cramping and nausea experienced. This feeling quickly subsides after treatment and a nice cup of herbal tea.
 
Q.  Is it a dangerous procedure?
 
All procedures orthodox or wholistic have an element of danger to them and therefore care must be taken and questions must always be asked before pursuing any therapy. If the procedure is supervised by Nursing Sisters, trained as Colon Therapists, if the tubing is sterile, single use and disposable which eliminates the risk of infection, if water is infused using no pressure eliminating the risk of perforation, if you are in control of the amount of water you can comfortably take into your bowel and if you can eliminate whenever you feel the need, if the water is pure and not just tap water then there shouldn't be any danger, and the great benefits of the treatments are yours.
 
If you don't ask the questions, if you don't take care, then the consequences are also yours.
 
Q.  Is the tubing sterile and single use?
 
At our clinic, all tubing used in treatment comes in a sealed, sterile pack which is opened in front of you before treatment commences so you can see exactly what's being used.
 
Q.  How many treatments are usually needed?
 
We are all so individual so some of us need more and some may need less. Generally with our Discovery Program we recommend six treatments. One per week over six consecutive weeks. This depends however on your major health concern. We may recommend that you come in more than once a week. Maintenance is recommended after 6 treatments or when the water has cleaned your entire bowel and there is a shift in your health. It is then up to you how often you have treatment.

We recommend 1 treatment per month which means you spread 12 hours a year staying healthy.
 
Q.  Does everyone need this type of treatment?
 
Everyone who has treatment will benefit and notice an improvement in their health.  It may be as subtle as having a little more energy, a clearer skin, brighter eyes, clearer mind. We also see very dramatic improvement, especially in those with bowel dysfunction. Colonic Lavage assists the Liver in its detoxification process and helps clear out the bowel, which is the sewer system of the body. Just remember, the blood that washes through your sewer system also washes through every organ in your body including your brain.
 
Q.  Who does the treatments?
 
All treatments are supervised by female Registered Nursing Sisters, fully trained as Colon Therapists.
 
Q.  How will I feel after a treatment?
 
Most people feel great afterwards! We have a number of clients who have a treatment during their lunch hour and then go back to work, but how you'll feel really depends on how toxic you are, and what brought you to us in the first place.
 
Q.  Do you have to be a certain age? and is it more for women than men?
 
Anyone who has a bowel problem regardless of gender will usually benefit from Colonic Lavage Therapy. Our youngest client is 2 years of age and our most senior is 94 years young.
 
Q.  Do you need any special preparation before a treatment?
 
No, not at all! It's not wise to eat a really heavy meal before you come for treatment, but please don't do your own preparation by taking laxatives.
 
Q.  Do you need to book ahead?
 
Yes. We recommend you book at least one week in advance, to ensure your preferred time and date.
