Kame Aloha : Colon Hydrotherapy : Physician Protocol
Protocol- Gastroenterologoy Colon Hydrotherapy is a valuable modality in the preparation involving diagnostic studies for evaluating the colon, including sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy.

Colon Hydrotherapy session on day one. Colon Hydrotherapy session on day two. Colon Hydrotherapy session on day three. Protocol - Surgery Colon Hydrotherapy would function as a valuable modality in preparation for gastrointestinal surgery. This colon cleansing procedure would provide a more optimal surgical field and potentially decrease the risk of postoperative complications due to the presence of bacteria at the suture line. In addition, Colon Hydrotherapy may be applied to all patients undergoing general or spinal anesthesia; cardiac, general, OB/GYN or urologic surgery, as it would reduce problems with bowel function associated with general anesthesia following surgery. The use of strong laxative or purgatives such as castor oil, along with enemas can be avoided when utilizing Colon Hydrotherapy as the method of choice prior to or following surgery. The gentle infusion of warm water into the rectum would promote elimination and not stress the incision site. Timetable for liquid diet to surgery as directed by the surgeon. One Colon Hydrotherapy session on two consecutive days prior to surgery. Post - Operative Application Two Colon Hydrotherapy sessions on consecutive days following surgery (excluding intestinal or rectal surgery), or as indicated by the individuals bowel function status.
