Implants

What is an Implant?
An implant is usually a small amount of concentrated liquid solution inserted into the colon through the rectum. This solution is retained a certain amount of time, possibly overnight or however long the body allows it in the colon. The solution can be Probiotic, wheatgrass, herbal concoctions, herbal oils or other nutritive combinations. The effect and benefits are far more potent than ingesting orally, because the chosen nutritients do not have to travel through the entire digestive tract to be absorbed into the body.

Whatever is inserted into the colon will be directly absorbed into your muscle tissues, veins and nervous system. Special situations would be for patients who have debilitated liver or degenerated digestive tract. In these instances, obtaining nourishment through colon implants is more immediate.

In Ayurveda, various basti is performed to assist the healing of patients. I have posted a few basti recipes for your information. In the west, coffee enemas (or implant), and Probiotic implant are widely practiced. When a coffee enema is retained in the colon for about 10 minutes, the enzymes in the coffee are absorbed through the veins attached to the colon walls. These enzymes are transported directly to the liver, causing the liver’s portal vein to dilate, the bile ducts to expand, and the bile flow to increase. This action increases enzymatic production and aids in flushing toxic bile from the body.

Another popular colon implant is Probiotic solution. An implant allows easier access for Probiotic into the colon than oral consumption, for hydrochloric acid in the stomach and high acidity in the digestive system might not allow the Probiotics to survive their journey to the colon. If you are eating a flora rich diet, you may not need to practice implants. However, I will say that everyone can use extra help.

How to do an Implant:
It is important to first clear your colon before you do implants. Obviously, you do not want any toxins to hitch hike to your organs, or to recycle your toxins. For reference, please print out my Basti Procedures. The temperature of solutions should be warm to body temperature, and any enema buckets or syringes you use need to be clean.

Why Probiotic implant?
Probiotics are called friendly bacteria, or naturally cultured flora that is necessary to keep the digestive tract and immune system functioning properly. The healthy human digestive tract contains about 400 types of microorganisms that reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy, balanced digestive system. Every day the good, beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract are killed by stress, poor diet, caffeine, alcohol, antibiotics, over-the-counter or prescription medications, chlorinated water, floride in the toothpaste, herbicide in the food, and toxic chemicals in the environment. Probiotics are naturally found in the human body and are safe and effective for even young children. Daily intake of an oral Probiotic is highly recommended as a supplement, as well as an implant in the colon as necessary. In brief, the benefits of Probiotic are as follows:

1. Probiotic supports healthy immune function.
2. Probiotic supports digestion and absorption of nutrients.
3. Probiotic may assist in relieving occasional diarrhea, constipation, gas and bloating.
4. Probiotic supports healthy mucosal membrane immune barrier.
5. Probiotic supports healthy intestinal wall.
6. Probiotic supports healthy urinary tract function, especially in women.
7. Probiotic promotes regularity of bowel function.

Some people use Probiotics to prevent diarrhea caused by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill good bacteria along with the bad bacteria that cause illness. Taking Probiotic supplements orally or as colon implants may help replace the lost beneficial bacteria and thus help prevent diarrhea or any other bowel problems. A decrease in beneficial bacteria may also lead to the development of other infections, such as vaginal yeast and candida, intestinal inflammation, or even leaky gut syndrome. If you are interested in taking a Probiotic, it is wise to consult your health care provider for help in selecting the appropriate Probiotic, since scientific research is discovering different Probiotics for different symptoms everyday.

Types of Implants
I have to emphasize that the best implant will be eating daily healthy, flora rich food such as onions, asparagus, artichokes and garlic, wheatgrass, or a lot of green food.
However, here are the common implants used in the colon:

Coffee: A coffee implant in the colon helps to remove toxins from the liver quickly and safely. They often relieve headache, or eliminate spasms and pain. It is advised to use raw or lightly roasted coffee versus dark roasted coffee, due to the activities of enzymes in the raw coffee.
Wheatgrass: Fresh wheatgrass juice is a wonderful and unprecedented cleanser, alkalizer, detoxifier and energizer. It is full of flora and nutrients either as a drink or as a colon implant. It could be Vata aggravating at times, as can a coffee implant, if you are a Vata sensitive person. If you are very toxic, start slow; maybe with one ounce diluted with 4 ounces of pure water. If you want to try two ounces, add 8 ounces of pure water. If you have not done any other cleansing before, this might be too stimulating for you, and you might want to consult with your health care provider before using wheatgrass. It is very challenging to retain a long time; try to retain 15-20 minutes if possible.
Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe is very soothing and heals tissues throughout the entire digestive tract. It’s tridoshic and extremely beneficial when taken orally daily, especially for constipation. As a colon implant, it heals inflammation, hemorrhoids and it can restore a prolapsed colon to its normal position.
Herbal Concoctions: You may go to Basti Recipes to refer to some of the Ayurvedic Implants for various purposes. Basti (Ayurvedic Enema for Medicinal Administration) is widely used in healing whole body symptoms in Ayurveda. For special occasions, Burdock Root, Yarrow, Red Raspberry, Wild Cherry Bark, Dandelion, Milk Thistle, Elder Flower or any other herbs can be used after their proper preparation.
