Flush Out Stubborn Fat With Colon Hydrotherapy

ByKrystal Starr

A large number of us are on a continual search for solutions to safe, effective weight loss. In order for us to lose weight and keep it off permanently we need to first understand how fat develops.

"Toxins In, Toxins Out" is a theory that is helping many people begin to understand the correlation between toxins stored in our bodies and obesity.

When our eliminatory systems are bombarded by toxins, which is extremely common in our industrialized world, our body begins to store all the unmanageable toxins in our fat cells. This environment causes the stubborn, unwanted fat deposits that most of us have trouble releasing. When this state of emergency is declared in your body, you will start to store fat regularly to manage the abundance of toxins in your system. The good news is that these toxins can be released quite effectively and painlessly, allowing the body to return to its natural state."

It is recommended to work with a health care professional to develop a cleansing program that focuses on the use of colon hydrotherapy, a.k.a. colonics, to remove excess debris and toxic waste from your body.

When you can introduce colon hydrotherapy treatments combined with a diet focused on healthy, living foods you'll notice immediate results in achieving weight loss goals and overall well-being. You will also find that the weight-loss is permanent, as the toxins are not reabsorbed from the colon back into the fat cells.

Many people agree that bowel cleansing is a good idea, yet they may have many pre-conceived notions about receiving Colon Hydrotherapy. One misconception is that colon hydrotherapy is painful, smelly and just plain gross. When done in a professional, relaxing environment the treatment can actually be relieving and invigorating. You want to make sure you find a colon hydrotherapist who uses a closed system FDA-approved machine to ensure you're receiving the best and most state-of-art treatment available.

There are a few contraindications for colon hydrotherapy. If you have any of the following please contact a colon hydrotherapist or your health care practitioner prior to your appointment:

Severe cardiac disease/hypertension, Congestive Heart Failure/recent Heart Attack, Aneurysm, Severe Anemia, GI Hemorrhage/perforation, Cancer of the Colon or GI Track, Severe Hemorrhoids, Severe Diverticulitis, Cirrhosis, Carcinoma of the Rectum, recent history of GI Bleeding, Intestinal Perforation, Fissures/Fistulas, Pregnancy, Abdominal Hernia, Recent colon, rectal, or abdominal surgery (within 6 months), Renal Insufficiency, Advanced Crohn's, Ileitis or Ulcerated Colitis, Epilepsy or Psychoses, history of Seizures.

Are You Tired of Stubborn Fat Deposits Around Your Thighs, Stomach, 'Love Handles,' or Upper Arms?

Tumescent liposuction is a procedure intended to remove targeted areas of fat in order to sculpt the body. During the procedure, a suction device removes fat deposits from underneath the skin. This popular procedure can leave your body looking smoother and more toned by removing fat cells, though it should not be used as a weight loss procedure.

Ideal candidates for tumescent liposuction procedures are adult men or women who are in good overall health. Patients should be at a stable weight for the past year, and be at or near their goal weight, before considering liposuction. Although popularly known as a way to lose fat, liposuction is not a weight loss surgery; if you are significantly overweight, consider following a weight loss plan before undergoing liposuction. This procedure is intended for those who have specific pockets of fat they wish to remove, rather than those whose excess fat is evenly distributed in many body areas.

Tumescent liposuction differs from other liposuction techniques in the injection of fluid to numb the tissue and break apart the fat deposits for easier removal. A large volume of the tumescent solution is injected before the fat removal process begins. Once it has numbed the skin and broken apart stubborn fat deposits, the surgeon inserts a cannula (a thin metal tube) through incisions in the skin. Tumescent liposuction requires several short incisions, less than two to three millimeters long, enabling the doctor to access the underlying layer of fat.

The liposuction process takes between 30 minutes and 3 hours. Once the tumescent fluid has been delivered, the doctor turns the suction device on and begins moving the cannula back and forth underneath the skin, gently suctioning out the loosened fat cells. This specialized suctioning tool enables the surgeon to remove precisely targeted areas of fat without disturbing the surround tissues and through short incisions, thereby minimizing scarring. There are no stitches or drains to remove.

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure, and patients return home on the same day to begin their recovery. You may wish to have a friend or family member stay with you for several days, especially if you have young children to care for, as you may need assistance with daily tasks. Most patients are back to work in about a week, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting must be avoided for four weeks after surgery.

After tumescent liposuction, patients should wear a compression garment over the treated area for several weeks. This elastic garment supports the tissues in their new contours, reduces swelling, and promotes healing. Common side effects experienced by tumescent liposuction patients include swelling, redness, and bruising. Any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. These side effects should fade within a month, with the full results of tumescent liposuction becoming visible by the end of the third month post-surgery. The results are long lasting, as long as you maintain your weight through a healthy diet and exercise plan.
