If the client has no major symptoms or history of chronic constipation, by all means, they may use this protocol to prepare them for the colonoscopy procedure. The usual oral prep will not be necessary when this protocol is followed.
NO CARBONATED BEVERAGES, CAFFIENE DRINKS OR ALCOHOL during this protocol!
We schedule our clients for colon hydrotherapy once per day for the three (3) consecutive days prior to the colonoscopy procedure with their medical doctor. Ideally, the third session is set for first thing in the morning just prior to the colonoscopy on DAY THREE as described below:
DAY ONE:
Upon rising, drink 1 quart of warm, filtered water with juice of one half lemon. Take 2 Oxy Powder capsules available from our office…call the number below. Proceed with first colon hydrotherapy session.
Eat small snacks throughout the day consisting of meat free, dairy free, wheat free foods including:
Pureed soups, mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, mixed salads, avocado, smoothies made with fruit and greens like apple/spinach, pear/chard, romaine/papaya in blender with water. Add 1 tablespoon ground golden flax meal to smoothies and sprinkle on salads and soups.
Mid-day, take 2 more Oxy Powder capsules on an empty stomach with warm lemon water.
Drink a minimum of 2 quarts of filtered water per day at room temperature, adding fresh lemon will be helpful.
Before retiring, take 4 Oxy Powder capsules with warm lemon water.
DAY TWO:
Upon rising, drink 1 quart of warm filtered water with juice of one half lemon. If bowel release is not runny and large, take 5 Oxy Powder capsules. If it is like a big diarrhea that fills the toilet bowl, take only 2. In either case, proceed to second colonic session. REMEMBER, we are also moving waste from the small intestine down into the large intestine for removal. There’s always more!
ONLY clear liquids all day: herbal tea and clear broth made from vegetables or clear chicken broth, ok to drink Emergen-C powder in water to keep electrolytes in balance and energy even.
Drink a minimum of 2 quarts of filtered water per day at room temperature, adding fresh lemon will be helpful.
Mid-day take 2 Oxy Powder capsules with warm lemon water.
Before retiring take 4 Oxy Powder capsules unless the diarrhea is uncontrollable. In this case, just take 2 more.
DAY THREE:
Schedule final colon hydrotherapy session for first thing in the morning then travel directly to doctor for colonoscopy procedure.
It is vitally important to be very gentle with the bowel after the colonoscopy. This is an invasive procedure. We suggest you return to the DAY ONE program of soft foods for at least 2 days so that the bowel may return to normal function. If there has been no bowel movement for 48 hours after the colonoscopy, we recommend another colon hydrotherapy session to normalize bowel function and help cleanse the anesthesia from the body.
