Colema Cleansing Instructions
Cleansing will be more comfortable for you if you remember to urinate before climbing onto the board.
Check the position of the end of the tubing which is on the bottom of the inside of the bucket of water so that the ozone diffusing stone is not too close to the water outlet which allows the water to run down the tubing into the colon.
A towel placed on the board to lie on will make it more comfortable for you.
Be gentle when inserting the colema tip. Lubricate with oil before inserting into the rectum. Insert only approximately 2 to 2 1/2 inches into the rectum.
When you are ready to start the colema and you have the water ozonated in the bucket, lay on the board, insert the lubricated tip into the rectum but do not turn on the water. Go up from the belly button one inch and one inch to the left and push in with one finger into the abdomen until it hurts a bit. Massage that point, holding it in for 2-3 minutes before any water runs into the bowel After 2-3 minutes release that point (this helps to relax the small bowel). Now open the hose valve so that water starts running into the colon. As water starts running into the colon and you feel pressure building up in the colon, then start pushing on the iliocecal valve. To find the valve, locate the right anterior superior iliac crest, which is the bony prominence on the front of the pelvis and go in about an inch toward the midline from that point, and push in as deeply as you can and then kind of tug the hand upward toward the opposite breast. As you continue to feel the pressure building up in the colon, keep the iliocecal valve closed. When you feel that you cannot hold the water in any more, you relax the anal muscles and let the water start running out of the colon into the toilet and contract the abdominal muscles forcing the remainder of the water out of the colon while you are still holding the iliocecal valve closed. After you relax the abdominal muscles and stop pushing, then take your fingers off the iliocecal valve and relax the finger muscles and get the cramps out of your fingers. As the water continues to run into the bowel, you need to push the iliocecal valve closed again when you feel the pressure building up and keep that iliocecal valve held closed until you have gone through another cycle of letting the pressure build up and pushing all the water out of the abdomen again with the contraction of the abdominal muscles and again taking the hand off the iliocecal valve and letting the fingers relax after the abdominal muscles are relaxed. The next most important abdominal hand manuver to use during the colema process is the massaging of the small bowel, which is right around the belly button, at the times when the hand is not on the iliocecal valve. So, when there is no pressure sensation in the colon felt from water building up and both hands are free and off the iliocecal valve, then take one or both hands and massage the area right around the belly button to stimulate the contents of the small bowel to move on over into the cecum, which is the right side of the colon in the right lower abdomen. Do the massaging of the small bowel every time that you take the hand off the ilio-cecal valve while you are waiting for the colon to fill up again with water. The next most important abdominal hand manuver to use during colema treatment is massaging of the colon. This is done while you are holding the iliocecal valve closed with one hand and with the other hand you start in the left lower abdomen massaging the colon and you move upward toward the left lower rib cage and move across the upper abdomen from left to right just: underneath the rib cage. Continue massaging all the way across the upper abdomen and then start massaging down the right side of the abdomen at! the way to where you are holding the iliocecal valve. Do this massaging several times from left lower belly to the left upper belly across to the right upper belly and down to the right lower belly until the pressure in the colon is so great that you have to release the water, then you stop massaging at that point and start concentrating on contracting the abdominal muscle and pushing the water out of the colon. After all the water is pushed out, then you release the iliocecal valve.
IN SUMMARY, THE ABDOMEN NEEDS TO BE HELD OR MASSAGED IN THE FOLLOWING WAY DURING EACH COLEMA:
-
Relax the small bowel by pushing into the abdomen at a point one inch above and one inch to the left of the belly button for two to three minutes before any water runs into the colon at the beginning of each colema.
-
Keep the iliocecal valve in the right lower abdomen held closed while the water is running into the colon as long as pressure is being sensed by the filling colon or if the abdominal muscles are being contracted to push water out of the colon. The iliocecal valve is released whenever the abdominal muscles are relaxed after pushing the water out of the colon and prior to the sensation of the rectum and sigmoid colon filling again.
-
Massage the stool from the small bowel into the large bowel when the iliocecal valve is not being held closed by massaging around the belly button.
-
While the iliocecal valve is being held closed, massage the colon starting at the left lower belly, going up the left side of the belly to the ribcage, across the upper belly from one ribcage to the other ribcage, and then down the right side of the belly to the iliocecal valve. This is done only while the colon is filling and the sensation of water pressure is building in the rectum and sigmoid colon.
