1. STUDY AND DATA PRESENTATION
This study tries to be a statistic approximation over a sample of 250 patients of ages between 16 and 86 years old.
The patients have been grouped based on the suffered pathology when the therapy is requested, other symptoms which were mentioned secondly have been also added to this study as they were improved apparently in a subjective way.
Every patient was treated with 3 sessions of Colon Hydrotherapy. Each session lasted between 26 and 60 minutes, and the sessions were made from week to week.
This implies that from the first time the patients were interviewed to the last time, the period of time was just of 2 weeks, this is insufficient to state which would be the final improvement after the treatment in many cases.
On the other hand, the larger part of the patients were treated on request of their usual therapist , so that non interference ethic did not allow a more exhaustive monitoring of the cases.
However and taking into consideration the short time of monitoring, a very high and positive percentage of improvement can be assured. It must also be considered the fact that the data and results of the 3rd session are not gathered in this study. This makes us think that the percentages of the positive data are much higher than the ones shown in the study as the 3rd cleaning session is quantitatively the most intensive one of the sessions.
This study gathers the symptoms into groups based on the pathology, the real number of patients who improved clearly are shown as well as their percentage over the total figures.
