Conditions
for Which Colon Hydrotherapy is Effective -
Maintaining a rheumatology practice for the past twenty-four years in
Long Branch, New Jersey, Arthur E. Brawer, MD, is an enthusiastic
exponent of colon hydrotherapy for a variety of health problems. He
cites this treatment in his recently published consumer book, Holistic
Harmony.
"Silicon breast implant exposure which results in disease symptoms
responds very well to colon hydrotherapy. I am in the center of this
silicone breast implant controversy by having consulted with over 500
women from around the world for the toxic environmental exposure caused
by such implantation. I've given testimony as an expert witness before
the United States Congress on this issue along with advising the
Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA, and consultants to
the President, the Vice-President, the Director of Women's Health at
the White House, and the United Nations. I use colon hydrotherapy for
the treatment of such silicone toxicity, since it does work to chelate
silicone out of the body," states Dr. Brawer.
"Let me explain. From day one of implantation, silicone micromolecules
disperse throughout the body because the pore size (the porosity) of
the envelope or shell enclosing the implant is larger than most of the
silicone molecules contained inside. Thus, the disease symptoms derived
from silicone toxicity is not dependent on envelope rupture. Symptoms
begin immediately! In other words, the molecules of silicone travel
through the membrane osmotically and become microdispersed throughout
the body by means of the lymphatic system," explains Dr. Brawer.
"Now realize that the connective tissue or collagen in each person's
body requires silicone as an essential component in order to provide
the body with proper architectural structure such as for tendons,
ligaments, nerve sheathes, and everything else. Silicone makes up the
glue which holds the skin together, gives substance to the organs, act
as regulators, signal transmitters, and so forth. It functions as an
integral part of metabolism and physiology. Thus, all tissues are
dependent on silicone as an essential ingredient," Dr. Brawer says.
"But given in excess as a leaking silicone breast implant, there is
only one place the excess may be dumped or stored by the body - - into
its connective tissue. When that happens a whole litany of complaints
occur: joint pains, dry eyes, fatigue, memory lapses, skin rashes and
pigmentations, chest pain, muscle aches, drug intolerance, odor and
smell sensitivity to hair sprays, room fresheners, deodorants, and more
(see sidebar).
"So the silicone molecules become stuck in the body's glue, and they
cannot be removed by use of medications or supplemental nutrients or
diet. Only certain techniques may be applied to detoxify the body:
colon hydrotherapy is perhaps the best way and also working as
detoxifiers are Ayurvedic medicine, hyperthermia, steam baths, saunas,
oxygen therapy, and the energy-based therapies such as Reiki therapy
and Quigong. Any dietary approach has to be more an exclusionary basis
- take the patient off of processed foods and have them eat organic,"
confirms Dr. Brawer. "But of all the treatments for symptoms coming
from silicone breast implants, colon hydrotherapy I find to be one of
the mainstays that offer relief.

"Colon hydrotherapy
eliminates from the bowel the repository of accumulated waste material
which may disadvantageously get absorbed. If this absorption
takes place, it overwhelms the other purification organs such as the
liver, the kidneys, the skin, and the lungs. The toxin deposition
which becomes lodged throughout the body's tissues and cells becomes
capable of triggering a variety of illnesses," says rheumatologist Dr.
Arthur E. Brawer. "There's lots of them. Some disease
