YOU are as young as Your Colon!

Our bodies age prematurely due to toxic bacteria released by the decomposition of food in the bowel.

The way you look, feel, and think depends on the quality of the food and thoughts we take in. A healthy individual has a strong, vibrant body and an adventurous spirit.

About Sandra Sphar

Sandra Sphar began her work in gynecology-obstetrics and fertility clinics during the 1980’s in San Diego, also training at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in La Jolla, California. Her knowledge expanded and evolved to include an expertise in colon hydrotherapy, and has resulted in a successful 19 year practice in Santa Barbara.

Her interest in Eastern cultures and healing arts culminated in the study of Ayurvedic modalities in India as well as studying at the Sivananda Institute of Yoga. She is also trained in lymphatic massage and foot reflexology.

Sandra’s philosophy is that each individual is unique. There is no standard formula or single prescription in her recommended protocols. Each client’s program is individually designed according to age, life style, diet and personal goals. Her cleansing and detoxification programs focus on maintaining healthy and clear eliminative channels. Sandra’s years of experience have helped her develop successful and attainable goals for her clients.

Cleansing

In order for your body to experience optimum health, I recommend detoxification and fasting programs four times a year as the seasons change. This includes three to seven day fasting incorporated with colonics, coffee enemas, wheat grass and chlorophyll infusions.

I will work one-on-one with you to design a program that fits your lifestyle and budget and which addresses any specific health issues or concerns you may have.

What is Colon Cleansing?

The elimination of waste is one of the three essential functions of life:

• Building tissue from food
• Balance and maintenance
• Proper elimination of waste

Colon cleansing is a detoxifying process. Toxicity occurs in our bodies when we take in more than we can utilize and eliminate. Whether it be food, emotions, or mental stress, colon cleansing is the process of clearing unmanaged waste, emotions and stress from the body's tissues.

What is Colonic Irrigation or Colonic?

Colon irrigation is a hygienic cleansing of the large intestine. Filtered and sterile water is introduced into the colon through a sterile, disposable rectal speculum. The speculum is inserted into the rectum about 1 and 1/2 inches. Water induces the colon to contract (peristalsis) allowing the colon to release water and waste.

In this way the colon is gently washed in progressive intervals, a little water in, waste and water out-repeated again and again. Imagine a wave gently touching the beach, then receding and carrying away silt and residue each time.

Preparation for a Colonic

It is recommended for optimum results, 2-3 days before your treatment to avoid the following:

• Red meat and all animal products as much as possible
• Fried foods, Sugar
• Alcohol and all carbonated drinks
• Bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage and brussel sprouts
• No solid food the day of your appointment (unless you are fasting)
• No liquids one hour prior to your appointment

After Colonic

You will be given an electrolyte mineral drink and post-colonic written instructions with food suggestions.

The Treatment Session

During your colon therapy session your therapist will administer abdominal massage, coaching for deep breathing and acupressure point therapy. Organic essential oils are carefully chosen for each individual and utilized during the session allowing the mind and body to relax and release. Adding coffee, wheat grass and probiotics to the cleansing fluid is not allowed unless prescribed by a homeopathic doctor. Additional fees apply.
