Cleansing and detoxification of the immune system’s power plant

with Dan Goldberg

Each and every day we are exposed to a toxic burden greater than people hundreds of years ago experienced in an entire lifetime. From chemicals and pollution to high levels of stress and processed foods, debilitating amounts of harmful waste build up over time, and the body is left to suffer. More specifically, the digestive system and colon are dangerously affected by such a toxic overload, thereby hindering the other internal systems and weakening the immune system.

With so much at risk, there really is only one option: relieve the burden by cleansing the body of everything that doesn’t belong.

Dan Goldberg, founder of Optimal Wellness of Long Island, in practice for over 13 years, has witnessed the painful effects of intestinal overload as well as the life-changing results of colon hydrotherapy, a gentle, purifying flushing of the colon that removes accumulated waste and pollutants. “One major part of our body paying a huge price for all these toxins we come in contact with is the digestive system,” he says, “and to regain a healthy balance, we have to undo the negative and re-evaluate our diets.”

Some significant signs that your body is in desperate need of internal cleansing and detoxification include fatigue, headaches, skin problems, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, menstrual problems, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, and leaky gut, a phenomenon in which digested food leaks out of the small intestine, through tiny pinholes created by harmful fungus and parasites, enters the bloodstream, and sets off an uncomfortable inflammatory response. But while it might be easy to make the connection between excess gas and an overwhelmed colon, there are plenty of other symptoms that arise from the same problem, like asthma, food allergies, depression, excess weight, bad breath, and general aches and pains, to name only a few. The reason for such a broad range of ailments is the interconnectedness of the body, and when the colon backs up, essentially, so does every other organ.

“Cleansing the colon of old debris is only the first step,” says Goldberg, a Certified Colon Hydrotherapist and Nutritionist. “We then work with you to reintroduce friendly bacteria, largely erased by years of antibiotics, and suggest a proper diet and supplements that facilitate a healthy internal environment.”

Although colonics are not unheard of in the medical industry, colon hydrotherapy is a treatment that may at first sound daunting because of many people’s relative unfamiliarity with it. “The awareness is ancient,” says Goldberg, explaining that even the ancient Egyptians administered a form of colonics. “In the 1800s, almost every hospital performed colon hydrotherapy for their patients, but with the rise of pharmaceutical companies, this practice greatly disappeared.”

Fortunately, it has been making a mainstream resurgence in the past several decades, and in a state-of-the-art facility like Optimal Wellness, the largest clinic of its kind on Long Island with an experienced staff of five full-time colonic therapists, people are getting the chance to experience the lifelong benefits firsthand.

A healthy life begins when you make the decision to take care of your body. Eating better, drinking more water, staying active, and taking time to relax are all part of the puzzle. Now add colon hydrotherapy to the equation, and you’ll find yourself the least weighed down and the most energetic that you’ve probably been in a very long time.
