“People who receive Colon Hydrotherapy flat-out feel better,” says Derrick Gillikin. A practicing Colon Hydrotherapist since 1995, he’s acquired much anecdotal evidence to support that claim. According to Derrick, impurities build up in the colon from toxins in food and water, affecting people’s health and stress levels. He says that Colon Hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for people who develop allergies in adulthood, as those allergies can be the body’s immune-system response to accumulated toxins or parasites in the system. It accomplishes what the body’s antihistamines are trying to do in a much more eloquent way than penning goodbye poems in iambic pentameter. Sometimes, Derrick says, even he is surprised by what Colon Hydrotherapy has resolved in his clients, from migraines to chronic acne to other skin issues. Colon Hydrotherapy can also be an effective part of a detoxification program, including Pathways to Health's seven-day detox program, which uses a combination of fasting, nutritional supplements, and Colon Hydrotherapy to help rid the body of toxins.
