The Angel of Water® Colonic System is an ultra modern
alternative to the age old enema. For thousands of years healthcare
practitioners have been prescribing colon
irrigation (also known as:colon
hydrotherapy, colon lavage,
colonic equipment, colonic
hydrotherapy, colonic irrigation,
high colonic) for their patients
to relieve an assortment of digestive disorders (cleansing
colons, constipation causes,
detox cleansing, relieving
constipation, chronic
constipation, colon cancer
) and as a preparation for intensive medical procedures and examinations.
The Angel of Water® Colonic System is an FDA regulated device requiring
a physician's authorization to purchase and use. The Angel has also
received ISO 13485 Certification (Canada and Europe) and CE Certification
(Europe).
Contraindications
to colon hydrotherapy include congestive heart failure, intestinal perforation,
carcinoma of the rectum, fissures or fistula, severe hemorrhoids, abdominal
hernia, renal insufficiency, recent colon or rectal surgery, cirrhosis
of the liver, and first and last trimester of pregnancy.

DEMO
This
unit is ideal for a nurse looking to start his/her own business or a
physician interested in adding a very lucrative dimension to his/her
practice. Average sessions run $80 per 40 minutes with typical nurse
supervising 2-4 sessions at a time. Monthly income @ $80 per session
is $15,360 per unit (8 sessions per day per unit) X (6 days per week)
X (4 weeks per month) = $15,360 per month. Now that is for just one
unit! Just do the math! This is a very good alternative to working 12
hour shifts at $30 per hour. Call NOW and talk to Jim Bock, RN (800)
834-9945 or (908) 451-5748 to see if this makes sense for you.
THE
COLON Lavage SESSION
A typical colon Lavage session lasts approximately 25-45
minutes and uses approximately 12 gallons of water. A small speculum
is attached to a plastic hose which connects to the Angel of Water®;
the other end of the speculum is inserted into the patient's rectum.
Volume and temperature of the water is preset within the unit with numerous
safety features preventing possible excessive temperatures or volume
of water from entering the patient's rectum. The Angel of Water®
creates an integrated clinical setting affording the patient both privacy
and dignity and the practitioner ease-of-use. It is an ergonomic, open
lounge system that allows for the patient to recline in comfort and
to release the contents of the colon and bladder at will. It uses a
single-use, sterile rectal nozzle. Tempered water is treated with both
ultraviolet and carbon filtration. The Angel of Water® is available
in both 115 and 220 volt models.
Thermostat Controls Water Temperature
Before beginning a session, a patient sits with a trained
colon hydro therapist for an interview to get a full picture of the
patient’s health, medical history and discover any possible contraindications
for the procedure. A licensed healthcare provider will typically assess
your blood pressure, pulse, SPO2 and lung sounds at regular intervals
before, during and after your session, to be certain the you are in
stable condition where the evacuation of the colon will not exacerbate
an already tenuous condition.
Under the direction and supervision of a licensed healthcare
provider (check out The Colon
Therapist Nursing Foundation) the patient positions himself comfortably
on the device. The patient removes their lower garments and lounges
over the collection basin, inserting the lubricated rectal nozzle (about
the diameter of a pencil). Then the patient drapes a hospital gown over
the lower half of their body and calls the therapist back in the room
to start the water flow.
The patient's colon is filled with water to individual tolerance throughout
the session inducing peristaltic contractions in the colon, expelling
fecal matter out of the anus around the speculum into the Angel of Water®
basin and through a clear plastic viewing tube. Colon Lavage is generally
a very safe procedure and The patient at times may feel abdominal cramping
or slight nausea depending on the severity of fecal impaction. At no
point during the session should the patient experience pain, dizziness,
weakness or loss of consciousness if such an event should occur the
session should be stopped as it may be a sign of an underlying medical
ailment that may have worsened during the session.
While the patient is receiving the colon treatment, the colon hydro
therapist may lightly massage various parts of the abdomen to help loosen
and dislodge areas of fecal impaction. The patient is monitored throughout
the session with regular assessments conducted in person by the hydro
therapist, through closed system video monitoring (purchased separately)
or through an intercom system (purchased separately) allowing the patient
to speak to the therapist when and if needed. Depending on the patient's
condition the supervising licensed healthcare practitioner will instruct
the therapist on how the session should be monitored. Some sessions
can be periodically checked visually while others need direct physical
observation at all times.
The procedure can be stopped at anytime by the therapist
or the patient by turning the FLOW switch OFF, and easing oneself off
the speculum.
Easily Accessible Flow Switch
At session end the patient can slide themselves off
the nozzle and bath themselves using the personal shower sprayer on
the side of the basin. They can then towel dry and meet with the colon
therapist who will discuss post-procedure diet recommendations, perform
a brief assessment of the patient’s status and provide follow
up instructions.
