the whole truth retreat

​

Most people in our society and culture suffer from some kind of digestive or elimination malfunction- it’s a global epidemic. Antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals and GM foods have disturbed the delicate balance of our intestinal flora, and diets high in indigestible animal proteins and refined and processed grains have overloaded our guts, resulting in unprecedented levels of disharmony in both body and mind.

A properly functioning digestive system is critical to good health. In fact, 60-80% of our immune system is located in our gut and 90% of our neurotransmitters (like serotonin) are made there. The root cause of almost all disease can be traced to a lack of integrity and wellbeing in the digestive system. Even a person with an exceptionally healthy diet may be malnourished and/or toxic due to impaired absorption and elimination processes in the gut.

The Deep Cellular Colonic Cleanse Programme approaches detoxification from a whole body perspective, which includes the repair, rebuilding and regeneration of every cell in the body. To properly cleanse the body tissue we start with a thorough cleansing of the bowel- this is essential to restoring intestinal health and overall wellbeing. When this process of deeper elimination is engaged with, the physical release of long-retained waste and toxins is very often accompanied by corresponding mental/emotional shifts, as previously congested energy is brought back into flow.

The main aim of a colonic cleansing programme is to naturally and systematically remove the sticky, congested and hardened build up of mucoid plaque that can line the gut. A build up of plaque can limit the absorption of nutrients and leak toxins back into the bloodstream, resulting in food sensitivities and inflammation in the body that is always a precursor to chronic disease. It also restores tone and activity to parts of the bowel that are distorted and underactive. Coffee colonics not only assist bowel function but cleanse and flush the liver and gallbladder from toxic buildup, bile stones and acids, and stimulate the release a flood of endogenous antioxidants which cleanse the blood and in turn, all body tissues.

This programme includes two daily coffee (or herbal) enemas for the duration of the juice cleanse, to be self administered in your free time. A reusable enema kit is provided for you to keep. Additional supplements are supplied for parasite cleansing, candida elimination, gut healing/re-innoculation and support for the urinary system.

We follow a 4 step approach:

REMOVE: Removing the old toxic mucus lining with fibre and mineral supplements and colonic irrigation
 

REPLACE: Adding back the essential ingredients for proper digestion and absorption, such as digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid.

REINOCULATE: Restoring beneficial bacteria through prebiotics, probiotics and naturally fermented food.

REPAIR: Providing nutrients necessary to help the gut to repair itself, such as L-glutamine, vitamins, slippery elm, etc.

​

Available as an optional extra on your retreat, this programme is highly recommended alongside a juice cleanse or water fast, especially where health concerns are present. Home Cleanse kits, which include a reusable enema kit and powerful supplements to support your home detox are available on request.
