Understanding What Colonic Hydrotherapy is All About
Alternative MedicineMarch 14, 2011Written by Laura Brooks479 views
When we talk about colonic hydrotherapy, we are actually talking about complete flushing out of our large intestine by using filtered water. The process utilizes modern, state of the art and safe equipment along with a scope that has a two-way circuit.
There are no issues related to colon perforation because water pressure is minimal.
The filtered water is then introduced into the intestine by using a massage technique and changes in the position so that gravity will also play an important role.
The ileocecal valve will prevent the water from going into the small intestines while the scope with two-way circuit keeps the water levels in proper proportion so as to avoid overfilling.
The process of colonic hydrotherapy is different from enema primarily because enema is primarily operated with the use of gravity instead of utilizing equipment. Because of this, it only reaches through the sigmoid colon and not further.

Why Barometric Pressure Triggers Headaches - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Many people notice that their headaches or migraines worsen when the weather changes. One of the most common culprits is barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure. This pressure refers to the weight of the air around us, and even small shifts can affect sensitive individuals, often leading to headaches, sinus pressure, or migraines. What Happens When Barometric Pressure Drops? A drop in barometric pressure is common before storms, rainfall, or sudden weather c

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n
