What To Expect As A First Timer!

As stated previously, many first timers that come in are mis informed when it comes to expectations and results. Many aren't aware that colonics are there to enhance whatever else they are doing rather than being the end all. Often times first timers are under the impression that they are going to view consistent streams of waste during their first full session and are sorely disappointed when this doesn't occur. The colon, like any other muscle, takes time to strengthen and tone. Over time your results improve and become more effective. Just like going to the gym, you wouldn't expect instant weight loss or muscle definition from visiting the gym one time. If anything it is opposite. Your first work out you are usually sore and fatigued. It takes a while to recover, more so than when your body is stronger. Sometimes you think that you never want to go back. In any healing process, the body usually gets worse before it gets better. If you are an individual who is not planning on making any dietary changes and are just wanting to go in for one session, make sure you know what you are getting in to. If I knew someone who was coming in not planning on making any changes to their diet and lifestyle and they were expecting certain problems to be alleviated during one colon therapy session, I would say it would be a waste of their time and money.

We have grown up in a society that promotes a magic pill approach. An approach that is obviously killing us and doing us more harm than good. We want instant gratification and that is why so many companies market to those who are willing to spend high dollar for those instant results. This approach has lowered the value we put in our bodies and our health. For those of you looking for information on colon therapy, and who are wanting to try it, make sure you have a plan. Make sure you get the most out of your sessions that you can. If you've never done a good series, it is recommended that you do 6-12 to start out with. This is years of toxicity we're talking about and it will take time to soften and loosen things up. Talk to your colon therapist about different options out there and different programs that will help you achieve your desired results.

One approach is to research a cleanse that incorporates colonics. Your therapist should have different books that they could recommend that talk about this. Increase your water intake as well as your fruits and vegetables during this time. I will give more advice as the entries go on, but the key is to do your research, prepare yourself, make sure you feel comfortable with your colon therapist and take the leap of faith that you've been wanting to take. Your health is an investment, and it's the best investment you'll ever make. You have one body, and it is the greatest gift you will ever receive in your lifetime.
