Does colon hydrotherapy affect the balance of electrolytes?
13: Electrolytes are mineral salts that are capable of carrying an electrical charge that is necessary for the body to maintain a healthy balance. Colon hydrotherapy hydrates the body. The water that is washed out of the colon during the therapy is not pulled out from the bodys system and diluting the electrolytes. There is some mineral loss during the colonic session, no more or less than you would eliminate with regular bowel movements. This elimination of minerals is easily replaced with a healthy meal. We also provide you with an electrolytes mix to drink at the end of the session. In the study Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes done in 1989 and conducted by National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon, NO patients experienced any significant symptoms or disturbances.
