The Californian Colonic
Wheatgrass Juice Infusion
What is wheatgrass juice?
The fresh juice from the blades of harvested young grass grown from wheat berries.
What is so special about it?
This wheatgrass juice is rich in minerals (including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, sulphur, zinc), vitamins (especially high in Vitamins A, B including laetrile or B17, C and E), enzymes and chlorophyll which may arrest growth of unfriendly bacteria and fungi by means of providing an inhospitable environment for them.
Chlorophyll closely resembles the molecules of human red blood cells (the difference being only the metallic atom – in haemoglobin, this is iron; in chlorophyll, this is magnesium). Because of this feature, chlorophyll helps to rebuild the bloodstream (useful, for example, in cases of anemia), whilst allowing the body to remain free of toxic reactions.
It is absorbed quickly and easily by the body, without taxing the digestive system in any way. It also helps to purify the liver, aids the body in dealing with blood sugar problems and assists wound healing.
It has been known to help with skin problems (such as psoriasis and eczema), and favourably affects the cardiovascular system, the lungs and the digestive tract.
It has been proven to reduce heavy metal toxicity from the body with regular use (e.g. mercury, lead from petrol, cadmium from cigarettes, aluminium), reduces inorganic chemical toxicity and can increase the body’s resistance to radiation (e.g. from computers, televisions, x-rays, mobile phones).
Why would I want this juice infused into my body via the colon?
Wheatgrass can be taken orally, but for most people, the strength needs to be kept quite low as its detoxifying effect may upset the stomach. However, by infusing directly into the colon sufficient strength of juice can be used without any impact on the stomach.
What will it do for me in a colonic?
It aids detoxification and cleansing of the colon walls, and its high nutritional load is quickly transported to the bloodstream and to other organs in the body, helping them to cleanse and heal also. It challenges fungi and unfriendly bacteria in the colon. It also neutralises guanidine produced by putrefaction of old, unexpelled wastes.
If detoxification is your aim, this is a powerful but gentle method.

How is the California Colonic used?
The California Colonic is a programme of colonic hydrotherapy treatments. After the normal colonic, wheatgrass is directly infused into the colon. The frequency of the colonic treatments will be advised by your therapist during your consultation.
You will first have a consultation with colonics specialist, Victoria Cooper or Linda Tennent. who will check your medical history and find out what you want to achieve. Then, Victoria will run through the menu to advise you which treatment would be best for you.
