Did you know that the average person that is not overweight may have between 10-25 pounds of dried up fecal matter in their colon? A procedure called colonics can get rid of the toxins and improve your health. Although not recommended by some doctors, colon cleansing has become all the rage among celebrities in Tinsletown. Us reports that stars Ben Affleck, Courney Love, Andie Macdowell, Janet Jackson, Cindy Crawford, Alicia Silverstone, and Liv Tyler have visited a colonic center. One of the most popular escapes for celebrities who want to cleanse their colons is the We Care Holistic Health Centre in Palm Springs, Calif.  With a price tag of at least $2,500 a week, the spa offers cleansing during three-, five- or eight-day retreats where participants consume only liquid. Then, daily colonic irrigation ensures maximum weight loss. It's a quick way to lose weight, one regular (no pun intended) said, and not a bad "weekend getaway." Recently, Paris Hilton was spotted visiting one of these centers.

Colon Hydrotherapy can be most beneficial in helping to restore good health by:

o The prevention of illness
o Improved physical appearance.
o A boost in emotional well-being
o A sharpening of mental capabilities.
o An enhancement in digestion
o The elimination of unhealthy food addictions & allergies.
o The attainment of ideal weight
o A minimizing of the effects of aging.

Single therapy treatments vary, but on average a session ranges approximately $55 to $95. The typical office visit will last 1 hour, of which 45 minutes is actual colon hydrotherapy treatment and a typically three sessions within approximately a 7 to 10 day time period is recommended.

 During therapy you lie down while a disposable speculum is gently inserted into the rectum, it doesn’t hurt! Then warm filtered water passes into the colon. No chemicals or drugs are involved and the entire therapy is both relaxing and effective. The water and light massage techniques will dislodge toxic waste from your body. Just one colon hydrotherapy session may be equivalent to having 20 or 30 regular bowel movements. After a therapy session, many people report a feeling of heightened energy, an increased sense of well-being and renewed vitality.
