Colon
Hydrotherapy

Each therapist, while bearing in mind the patient’s medical history, will be able to make an interpretation of what is seen through the viewer for each case.

Without wishing to establish diagnostic guidelines which might not be valid in many cases, I intend to lay out an explanatory classification of the contents of the intestines with brief notes drawing from my experience.

Let us look at this then by various groups.

1- GASES

The quantity varies according to the patient, but it is always the first thing to be evacuated. They are visible as bubbles in the lowest part of the viewer. Many people find that after the session they have lost a great deal of volume and made a noticeable improvement only from the loss of gases.

The gases are formed by the putrefaction of remains in the colon, and even though they are no longer present after one session, they will be produced again until the internal colic is totally evacuated, which does not normally occur until the third session.

2- STOOLS:

Always present in a greater or lesser quantity. Few in the first session (the rectosigmoide does not usually have retentions), they may increase in the following sessions. It must be born in mind that the cecum is a storage space for remains, due to its shape and characteristics, which also vary according to the height of the ileum opening. Along the entire length of the large intestine there are remains of crushed impacted stools which are easily extracted. In the traverse, both flexures and the ascending colon, stools in the shape of plugs are stored in the folds, sometimes with the contour of the intestine wall and they can cause small blockages in the tract.

In serious cases of persistent chronic constipation, extremely hard fecaloma are formed and these can prove very difficult to remove. In the cecum, which is the last stretch to be cleaned, there is usually a magma of abundant detritus, dark and dense but not excessively compacted.  

3- COLOURING

It is normal to find the colour of stools, but diluted:
However, some colours may be encountered which give useful information.

-Lemon yellow.
Common in strict vegetarians.

Bile green.
Normally seen in the second session after the cleaning of the hepatic flexure of the colon, in many cases when the patient has reported a history of liver problems, even from many years before. Also observed in patients with chronic multi-medication.

-Orange-red.
On occasions similar to red metallic paint. Very frequent for the water to be coloured like this in individuals who are almost exclusively meat-eaters and seems to be due to the oxidization of the remains.

D) Black
Ruling out the ingestion of ink or animal blood, the possibility of the existence of a blood loss problem a some point of the upper digestive tube must be considered. Worthwhile conducting an anamnesis to look for other signs or symptoms, chronic languor or anaemia of unknown aetiology, even ingestion of drugs (salicyates, etc.).

-Pink-red.
Can indicate active bleeding at any stage.

F) Others
Apart from squid ink, or black pudding, confusion can be caused by the ingestion of certain vegetables: spinach - green; beetroot – red, etc.

4- MUCOSA

The wall which covers the innermost layer of the digestive tube bears the brunt of the aggressive behaviour of the remains which circulate or remain in its interior. Therefore, we find that many sections of mucosa are swept along by the remains which brush past them; it is even possible for remains to drag fragments of encrusted mucous.

Long frayed filaments coloured as mentioned above are often seen. Most common is to see mucosa crushed into small scabs coming from the walls; this needs to be removed so that normal mucosa can reform.

Less normal are what I refer to as mucosa ‘moulds’: these are pieces – similar to the layer of skin which snakes shed – up to 30 cms long and ash coloured. I have generally seen these moulds in the second or third session in individuals with long-standing constipation, and their elimination indicates a notable improvement in the condition in short time.

Appendix: MUCUS

The mucosa of the digestive tube produces a protective mucus which covers it and assists the stools to slide along. When this mucus is trapped for a long time, it loses humidity and dries up, causing it to lose its protective qualities and turning it into resin-like lumps. As this process of drying out normally occurs in cases of constipation, the complaint is aggravated, since it can lead to mucus plugs which make evacuation more difficult. In the visor, they can be seen coming out like resin build up or the pulp of an orange.

5- FOREIGN BODIES.

There is quite a list of foreign bodies, most of which are swallowed by mistake, and even without the patient realising. I include here a list of some which I have witnessed.

A)Seeds.
Grape seeds alone can make up sizeable pellets which get blocked. The seeds of kiwi strawberry, etc, pass through with no problems. Large stones such as plum do not pass through the machine’s connections. I have not seen cherry pips nor olive stones, but I have seen capsicum seeds.

B) Vegetable skins
Especially lentil skins, which can be whole. Also capsicum and tomato skins.

C) Poorly chewed food.
The most interesting case I have seen was two olives stuffed with capsicum which had to be manually retrieved from the machine and were intact.

D) Pen lids, such as the lid of a BIC pen or the clip from the pen top.

E) Various small plastic objects.

F) Paper clips
THIS IS TRUE

G) Parasites
Worms, even dead ones and dried out ones. To expel them, the use of an orthomolecular preparation with Bismuth during the session is advisable, as well as oral treatment.
