How Does Colonic Hydrotherapy Affect Gut Flora??? Every colonic wash removes
an unknown proportion of gut’s natural flora
Of what’s left…… Some are probiotic microbes Some are pathogenic microbes
Do NOT Hesitate…….. Repopulate!! -You MUST repopulate the gut with probiotics following EVERY colonic wash, immediately!
-Any delay, even just a couple of days, can lead to pathogen overgrowth resulting in dysbiosis
Yoghurt Drinks Are Not the Answer!
‘Probiotic’ yoghurts and yoghurt drinks contain lots of sugar
They often contain only 1 strain of bacteria You never know how many viable cells they contain They need to be refrigerated
18 g sugar 14 g sugar 12 g sugar 10 g sugar
Replenish Quickly Following a Colonic Wash
Sugars in our diet promote the growth of pathogens over probiotics
With gut bacteria being removed during the wash it’s imperative that you replace it with probiotics
Delaying repopulation can lead to dysbiosis!!

Use the Right Genus, Species and Strain for the Relevant Condition…..
Which area of the gut are you trying to target?
What is the condition you’re trying to treat or prevent?
Is the strain you’re using proven to do that?
So What Are the Risks of Stocking? Are they paying for their space in your practice?
Cash flow is tied up in unsold stock Do you have the space? All probiotics have a shelf life. Will you sell yours
before they expire? You don’t like to push a particular brand at your
practice? You don’t like to be seen to be making a profit on
supplement
