I-ACT Quarterly Fall 2012
I-ACT Policy Statements:
I-ACT recommends the use of currently registered FDA equipment and only disposable speculums, rectal
tubes, or rectal nozzles. However, should the Therapist use reusable speculums, these speculums should, at a
minimum, be autoclaved for sanitation and cleanliness (30 minutes). Additionally, the autoclave unit must be
tested and inspected by competent authority at least four times per year- maintain documentation. (Under NO
conditions should a disposable speculum or rectal tube be reused).
I-ACT recognizes the FDA classifies equipment used to instill water into the colon through a nozzle inserted
into the rectum to evacuate the contents of the colon into three distinct classes; Class I (Enema Kits), Class II
and Class III are (Colon Irrigation Systems). Follow the guidelines of your manufacturer, as approved by the
FDA for the type of equipment (devices) you are using. Make no claims as to the use of your device other
than those approved by the FDA.
The main differences between Class I and Class II devices:
• Class 1 devices do not have any safety features and manufacturers of Class I devices may not
have any third party oversight as they do not have to comply with the good manufacturing
practices that are required of Class II manufacturers.
• More specifically, the code of federal regulations CFR 876.5210 & 876.5220 describe the differences between the Class I and the Class II devices. From that regulation, a Class I device
does not include “colonic irrigation devices”. A “colon irrigation device” is a Class II device
which in part is described as: “The system is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of
the colon during the administration of the colonic irrigation.
•
The FDA requires Class II devices to be sold on or at the order of a physician or health care
practitioner. This may be different in each state.
Additionally there are two areas of concern with the use of a Class I device:
• The first area of concern is the safety of the consumers, your clients. Since the Class I device
does not have to comply with good manufacturing practices there are no safeguards during
the manufacturing of your equipment. The Class I manufacturer does not have to maintain
records, nor are they inspected as thoroughly or as rigorously as a Class II manufacturer
which also reduces the safeguard for the consumer. By definition, the Class I device is an enema kit and cannot have any safety features that might protect the consumer. Class I devices
consist “of a container for fluid connected to the nozzle” and does not allow for the container
to be hard plumbed to the city water system. There are no back flow prevention systems to
preclude the back flow of the effluent into the tubing. Additionally, without the requirement
to follow the good manufacturing practices there are no guarantees that the equipment can be
cleaned, disinfected and sanitized in a manner that can guarantee there is no transmission of
disease to the client. Remember, our Code of Ethics states, “the health, welfare, and comfort
of our clients is our primary concern”.
• The second area of concern is the potential for inappropriate advertising. If you are using a
Class I device, you may not market that as a colonic irrigation device as it clearly is an enema
kit.
Although I-ACT is not aware of any laws that preclude you from assisting an individual with an enema,
I-ACT does want you to consider upgrading your equipment to the equipment that provides the greatest safeguards to the public. In this profession, that would be equipment marketed as Class II devices.
Remember that I-ACT strongly recommends that all I-ACT members use FDA registered Class II devices or
devices equivalent to Class II devices regulated by the appropriate agency in your country. Only individuals
using FDA registered equipment will be placed on the I-ACT Web Site. Purchase equipment at your own
risk. Ensure you are in compliance with your local, state, federal and country guidelines. Ensure that equipment you purchase is cleared for use in your country.

I-ACT recognizes there are two distinct types of colon irrigation systems; open and closed systems. However,
it is I-ACT policy that the colon hydrotherapist / technician is always in attendance / or is immediately
available to the client throughout the session. The degree of assistance is to be in compliance with the
instructions of the manufacturer of the equipment as registered with the FDA, and/or as directed by a
physician.
The policy on insertion is to follow the instruction of the referring physician; the guidelines of the
manufacturer as approved by the FDA; or the directives from the authority of your city, county, state, or
country ordinances.
I-ACT recommends that you do not put the initials (CT) for colon hydrotherapist after your name, write it out
in full. According to most state laws, putting initials after your name is not allowed unless you are licensed or
have a degree from an accredited professional school.
Advertising copy which states or implies that colon hydrotherapy can treat any disease, promise cure for any
disease, or that makes unsubstantiated medical claims SHALL NOT be used.

Letter to the Members from the I-ACT President: Advertisement
Dear I-ACT Members,
Well, it is that time of year again, our children
and grandchildren are returning to school, and
we are working on building our businesses
using the business building tools provided
during convention to increase clientele. It is a
wonderfully busy time.
Before
We acknowledge the change of seasons in the
northern hemisphere as we watch the leaves
start to change color and feel the days and
evenings turn cooler. It is during this time that
we all recognize the ever changing nature of our
universe and ourselves.
That is correct, our bodies are also preparing
for the new season. Remember to take the
time for yourself to ensure that you are living a
holistic lifestyle. Remember that you can’t help
others heal themselves unless you take care
of yourself. As colon hydrotherapists, we have
big hearts and open arms that is why we are
in this profession. For just a while, attend to
your needs and ensure that you are on track to
maintain your health.

I-ACT Quarterly Fall 2012
This is a perfect lead in to let you know that
your Board just had their September meeting.
The convention critiques were all reviewed
and each item was discussed. We then had the
opportunity to check out a couple of great hotels
in preparation for our 2013 Conventions.
I am so excited about the awe inspiring
experience the board shared, that I can hardly
hold it in. We have found a perfect location for
our 2013 Convention. In your critiques you told
us you wanted more healthy food choices and
juices… Well, we have found a hotel that serves
their staff real carrot juice every morning. Some
on the staff want a giant “Mean Green Drink
daily and they get it. All is available to the hotel
guests, freshly made.
In fact, the hotel’s general manager is so health
conscious that he is setting up each of the senior
staff to get colonics. That is right!!!
We have found a hotel that is ‘like-minded” with
I-ACT and what we stand for.
The Chef “gets” our dietary needs. They use
special utensils for the preparation of vegan
and vegetarian meals... and they have gluten
free food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner
already available.
Dorothy Chandler, RN
We toured this hotel and
each of us acknowledged
that the perfect location
had been found.
That is not all, it is also
a “Destination Location”.
A chance to receive great
continuing education
and spend time with
family. 2013 will be a
convention to remember.
2013 will provide you
the opportunity to reflect
and heal yourself, and a
chance to vacation with your family.
“This is all too much to ask”, you say. The
scheduled speakers and the planned activity line
up will be exceptional. It is all true. We have
selected the Renaissance Orlando - Seaworld
Hotel as the location for our 2013 Convention.
Look throughout this quarterly to see some
photos of this fabulous location, then register
for this convention - early. Set up a payment
plan if you need to, but DO NOT MISS the 2013
convention.
On other topics, we have been very busy
reviewing all I-ACT documents and will be
releasing these as soon as we complete the
review and modifications.
Additionally, as I mentioned in the last
quarterly, we have been in constant contact with
the National Health Freedom Coalition, working
directly with its leadership. We hope you are
taking the time to look into this coalition and if
you are able, please join and offer your support.
All of you probably have a local chapter which
is tasked with watching new legislation. This
effort has helped us rally forces in Illinois
against a Nutrition Bill that will stop colon
hydrotherapists from talking about nutrition.
Remember, it is up to you to keep abreast
of what is happening in your area. Keep us
advised and together, we can work to ensure that
our profession stays strong and viable.
Have a great Fall.
Dorothy M. Chandler, RN

MEMO From the NBCHT President
From The Desk Of: Bekki Medsker, ND, D.Ch.
NBCHT President
10/1/2012
To: All Members of NBCHT
We hope this letter finds you and yours in the best of health and recovering from a great Summer.
We know it is time to get back to work, and we, at the NBCHT, hope it is time for you to get serious about
taking our NBCHT exam. We are glad to announce that I-ACT has completed their development of the
NBCHT Certification Exam Review Webinar.
That is right, they have developed a preparation course to help prepare you to take the new NBCHT exam.
The cost for the webinar is only $150.00. Contact the I-ACT office to register for this new webinar. Then
take the National Board Certification Exam and get certified by the NBCHT.
I believe this exam will be extremely valuable to you as we try to get legislation passed through each state.
We think that the legislative body of each state will look favorably on individuals that have taken an exam
that is currently being used in Florida. Taking the NBCHT Exam, demonstrates that you are a professional
that is seeking to practice properly and that you want to ensure the safety of your clientele.
Next, I want to update you on the progress of separating the NBCHT from I-ACT. Our CPA has completed
the process of establishing a new 501(C) 6 not-for-profit corporation with the IRS. The corporation is
registered in Texas. All corporate documents will be completed and filed before January 1, 2013. At that
point, we will be waiting for the 2013 Convention and the 2013 election to have the members ratify the new
By-Laws that separate I-ACT and the NBCHT.
This is a slow process, but will benefit both, I-ACT and the NBCHT. We will keep you advised as this effort
progresses.
Thank you for helping us grow our Association and our Profession.
Sincerely,
Bekki Medsker
Bekki Medsker, ND, D.Ch.

Your City, Your state – Date Sent, 2012 – The International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy
founded in 1989 is the preeminent association for the profession of colon cleansing, announced today
that YOUR NAME HERE has completed all necessary requirements and has successfully passed the
certification examination to be an I-ACT foundation level certified colon hydrotherapist. This is the
first level of certification offered by the organization.
To become certified, candidates must meet mandatory pre-requisites including high school diploma
or equivalent, CPR certification, and college-level anatomy and physiology training. Additionally,
each candidate must complete 100 hours of classroom training in health and hygiene, anatomy and
physiology focused on the digestive tract, business ethics, colon hydrotherapy theory, and 25 hours
interning before passing a rigorous exam. Instructors must be I-ACT certified, completing four levels
of education, testing and evaluation. The organization’s certification arm beyond the foundation level
is the National Board for Colon Hydrotherapy (NBCHT), which offers referral services, educational
programming, information and support for the profession.
According to I-ACT president Dorothy Chandler, RN, “We are pleased to congratulate you, YOUR
NAME HERE on your new certification. Collectively, our profession is growing and gaining recognition daily, and we’re excited to have another advocate for colon hydrotherapy.” Chandler is the president of the nearly 2200 worldwide member organization.
Colon hydrotherapy is an all-natural method of removing waste from the large intestine without
the use of drugs. Through the introduction of warm, temperature-controlled, filtered water into the
colon, waste is softened and loosened resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. The process
is repeated several times during a session to stimulate peristalsis to encourage better colon function
and elimination. Client dignity is maintained at all times, and the procedure is absolutely safe when
performed by a properly trained and certified colon hydrotherapist using FDA registered equipment.

Professional Standards and Ethics Committee Report
September 2012
Dear Member,
The committee has focused its efforts on completing additional language for the
current Zero Tolerance policy document. The revision addresses harassment in the
education and training environments as well as the business environment. This
new language will strengthen our current policy and provide a more effective tool
in identifying areas of concern. The policy was reviewed and approved by the I-ACT
Board of Directors during its meeting this month and will be added to our current
Zero Tolerance Policy.
Additional actions of the committee were website review and compliance. Letters were
sent to two former members regarding continued use of the I-ACT logo and claims of
membership.
The committee acknowledges our I-ACT staff members, Kristi Schultz and Brandi
Hoenninger, who have been extremely helpful in assisting with this task.
The committee continues to follow all past actions that are unresolved.
Respectfully Submitted,
The Professional Standards and Ethics Committee

Fund Raising
Committee
Report
By Beverley Blass
The longer I’m involved in providing colon hydrotherapy services
and learning to raise my consciousness about the whole person, the
more convinced I am that colon therapists around the globe are doing
wonderful things to build community in their individual centers and
places of business. When I joined the I-ACT Board a year and a half
ago, I knew I wanted to make a difference and help build community.
That’s when I became the chair of the Fundraising Committee.
Advertisement
I didn’t have a lot of fundraising experience when I started, but I
love what I do and decided to let my passion lead the way. Colon hydrotherapy is about
more than the colon. It’s about the whole body and unsticking the physical as well as
the emotional ties that bind us. It’s about sharing our hearts for what we do, the people
we help, the services we provide. That’s how the idea for the heart quilt was born – an
opportunity to bring connectedness to the whole person – heart and colon together. It
seemed like the perfect way to raise awareness (and funds) while building community.
The idea was readily accepted and colon therapists loved the creativity and passion that
could be poured into this project. Convention attendees were able to participate for a $10
donation. We provided felt hearts, and people could decorate them however they wanted
with various craft items available. What creative people colon therapists are! Everyone
enjoyed the conversations and laughs while making their hearts and sharing everything
from work to life in general.
Although the quilt is not yet completed, we are excited by what began at the 2012
convention. The heart quilt will allow us to continue to build community among colon
therapists around the globe. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Another fundraiser at the 2012 convention was a Fiji spa package donated by Australia’s
Regional Representative Michelle King. The package was worth over $4,000 and included
six days at the spa. Tickets were $100 and we raised $2,900 during the convention.
Thank you to all who participated, and thanks to Michelle for the donation.
In case you’re wondering, the I-ACT Fundraising Committee is charged with raising
money for I-ACT to build on the various projects needed to support the industry (scientific
reviews, web site, media, etc.) While we do most of our fundraisers at the convention each
year, we are always interested in new ideas and new ways to get more members involved
in raising the necessary funds. One of the ideas we’re working on now is for a recipe
book, so start thinking about your favorite recipes and watch for more details in the near
future.
If you’re interested in joining the Fundraising Committee, please contact me (P: 860-6804151 or E: [email protected]) or the I-ACT office. No travel required to participate;
we can do phone calls. Have an idea for fundraising? Let us know; we’re always looking
for ideas. We’re serious about raising money, but we need your help!

Beverley Blass.

Your City, Your state – Date Sent, 2012 – The International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy
founded in 1989 is the preeminent association for the profession of colon cleansing, announced today
that YOUR NAME HERE has completed all necessary requirements and has successfully passed the
certification examination to be an I-ACT foundation level certified colon hydrotherapist. This is the
first level of certification offered by the organization.
To become certified, candidates must meet mandatory pre-requisites including high school diploma
or equivalent, CPR certification, and college-level anatomy and physiology training. Additionally,
each candidate must complete 100 hours of classroom training in health and hygiene, anatomy and
physiology focused on the digestive tract, business ethics, colon hydrotherapy theory, and 25 hours
interning before passing a rigorous exam. Instructors must be I-ACT certified, completing four levels
of education, testing and evaluation. The organization’s certification arm beyond the foundation level
is the National Board for Colon Hydrotherapy (NBCHT), which offers referral services, educational
programming, information and support for the profession.
According to I-ACT president Dorothy Chandler, RN, “We are pleased to congratulate you, YOUR
NAME HERE on your new certification. Collectively, our profession is growing and gaining recognition daily, and we’re excited to have another advocate for colon hydrotherapy.” Chandler is the president of the nearly 2200 worldwide member organization.
Colon hydrotherapy is an all-natural method of removing waste from the large intestine without
the use of drugs. Through the introduction of warm, temperature-controlled, filtered water into the
colon, waste is softened and loosened resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. The process
is repeated several times during a session to stimulate peristalsis to encourage better colon function
and elimination. Client dignity is maintained at all times, and the procedure is absolutely safe when
performed by a properly trained and certified colon hydrotherapist using FDA registered equipment.

MEMO From the NBCHT President
From The Desk Of: Bekki Medsker, ND, D.Ch.
NBCHT President
10/1/2012
To: All Members of NBCHT
We hope this letter finds you and yours in the best of health and recovering from a great Summer.
We know it is time to get back to work, and we, at the NBCHT, hope it is time for you to get serious about
taking our NBCHT exam. We are glad to announce that I-ACT has completed their development of the
NBCHT Certification Exam Review Webinar.
That is right, they have developed a preparation course to help prepare you to take the new NBCHT exam.
The cost for the webinar is only $150.00. Contact the I-ACT office to register for this new webinar. Then
take the National Board Certification Exam and get certified by the NBCHT.
I believe this exam will be extremely valuable to you as we try to get legislation passed through each state.
We think that the legislative body of each state will look favorably on individuals that have taken an exam
that is currently being used in Florida. Taking the NBCHT Exam, demonstrates that you are a professional
that is seeking to practice properly and that you want to ensure the safety of your clientele.
Next, I want to update you on the progress of separating the NBCHT from I-ACT. Our CPA has completed
the process of establishing a new 501(C) 6 not-for-profit corporation with the IRS. The corporation is
registered in Texas. All corporate documents will be completed and filed before January 1, 2013. At that
point, we will be waiting for the 2013 Convention and the 2013 election to have the members ratify the new
By-Laws that separate I-ACT and the NBCHT.
This is a slow process, but will benefit both, I-ACT and the NBCHT. We will keep you advised as this effort
progresses.
Thank you for helping us grow our Association and our Profession.
Sincerely,
Bekki Medsker

we all recognize the ever changing nature of our
universe and ourselves.
That is correct, our bodies are also preparing
for the new season. Remember to take the
time for yourself to ensure that you are living a
holistic lifestyle. Remember that you can’t help
others heal themselves unless you take care
of yourself. As colon hydrotherapists, we have
big hearts and open arms that is why we are
in this profession. For just a while, attend to
your needs and ensure that you are on track to
maintain your health.

I-ACT Quarterly Fall 2012
This is a perfect lead in to let you know that
your Board just had their September meeting.
The convention critiques were all reviewed
and each item was discussed. We then had the
opportunity to check out a couple of great hotels
in preparation for our 2013 Conventions.
I am so excited about the awe inspiring
experience the board shared, that I can hardly
hold it in. We have found a perfect location for
our 2013 Convention. In your critiques you told
us you wanted more healthy food choices and
juices… Well, we have found a hotel that serves
their staff real carrot juice every morning. Some
on the staff want a giant “Mean Green Drink
daily and they get it. All is available to the hotel
guests, freshly made.
In fact, the hotel’s general manager is so health
conscious that he is setting up each of the senior
staff to get colonics. That is right!!!
We have found a hotel that is ‘like-minded” with
I-ACT and what we stand for.
The Chef “gets” our dietary needs. They use
special utensils for the preparation of vegan
and vegetarian meals... and they have gluten
free food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner
already available.
Dorothy Chandler, RN
We toured this hotel and
each of us acknowledged
that the perfect location
had been found.
That is not all, it is also
a “Destination Location”.
A chance to receive great
continuing education
and spend time with
family. 2013 will be a
convention to remember.
2013 will provide you
the opportunity to reflect
and heal yourself, and a
chance to vacation with your family.
“This is all too much to ask”, you say. The
scheduled speakers and the planned activity line
up will be exceptional. It is all true. We have
selected the Renaissance Orlando - Seaworld
Hotel as the location for our 2013 Convention.
Look throughout this quarterly to see some
photos of this fabulous location, then register
for this convention - early. Set up a payment
plan if you need to, but DO NOT MISS the 2013
convention.
On other topics, we have been very busy
reviewing all I-ACT documents and will be
releasing these as soon as we complete the
review and modifications.
Additionally, as I mentioned in the last
quarterly, we have been in constant contact with
the National Health Freedom Coalition, working
directly with its leadership. We hope you are
taking the time to look into this coalition and if
you are able, please join and offer your support.
All of you probably have a local chapter which
is tasked with watching new legislation. This
effort has helped us rally forces in Illinois
against a Nutrition Bill that will stop colon
hydrotherapists from talking about nutrition.
Remember, it is up to you to keep abreast
of what is happening in your area. Keep us
advised and together, we can work to ensure that
our profession stays strong and viable.
Have a great Fall.

I-ACT Quarterly Fall 2012
I-ACT Policy Statements:
I-ACT recommends the use of currently registered FDA equipment and only disposable speculums, rectal
tubes, or rectal nozzles. However, should the Therapist use reusable speculums, these speculums should, at a
minimum, be autoclaved for sanitation and cleanliness (30 minutes). Additionally, the autoclave unit must be
tested and inspected by competent authority at least four times per year- maintain documentation. (Under NO
conditions should a disposable speculum or rectal tube be reused).
I-ACT recognizes the FDA classifies equipment used to instill water into the colon through a nozzle inserted
into the rectum to evacuate the contents of the colon into three distinct classes; Class I (Enema Kits), Class II
and Class III are (Colon Irrigation Systems). Follow the guidelines of your manufacturer, as approved by the
FDA for the type of equipment (devices) you are using. Make no claims as to the use of your device other
than those approved by the FDA.
The main differences between Class I and Class II devices:
• Class 1 devices do not have any safety features and manufacturers of Class I devices may not
have any third party oversight as they do not have to comply with the good manufacturing
practices that are required of Class II manufacturers.
• More specifically, the code of federal regulations CFR 876.5210 & 876.5220 describe the differences between the Class I and the Class II devices. From that regulation, a Class I device
does not include “colonic irrigation devices”. A “colon irrigation device” is a Class II device
which in part is described as: “The system is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of
the colon during the administration of the colonic irrigation.
•
The FDA requires Class II devices to be sold on or at the order of a physician or health care
practitioner. This may be different in each state.
Additionally there are two areas of concern with the use of a Class I device:
• The first area of concern is the safety of the consumers, your clients. Since the Class I device
does not have to comply with good manufacturing practices there are no safeguards during
the manufacturing of your equipment. The Class I manufacturer does not have to maintain
records, nor are they inspected as thoroughly or as rigorously as a Class II manufacturer
which also reduces the safeguard for the consumer. By definition, the Class I device is an enema kit and cannot have any safety features that might protect the consumer. Class I devices
consist “of a container for fluid connected to the nozzle” and does not allow for the container
to be hard plumbed to the city water system. There are no back flow prevention systems to
preclude the back flow of the effluent into the tubing. Additionally, without the requirement
to follow the good manufacturing practices there are no guarantees that the equipment can be
cleaned, disinfected and sanitized in a manner that can guarantee there is no transmission of
disease to the client. Remember, our Code of Ethics states, “the health, welfare, and comfort
of our clients is our primary concern”.
• The second area of concern is the potential for inappropriate advertising. If you are using a
Class I device, you may not market that as a colonic irrigation device as it clearly is an enema
kit.
Although I-ACT is not aware of any laws that preclude you from assisting an individual with an enema,
I-ACT does want you to consider upgrading your equipment to the equipment that provides the greatest safeguards to the public. In this profession, that would be equipment marketed as Class II devices.
Remember that I-ACT strongly recommends that all I-ACT members use FDA registered Class II devices or
devices equivalent to Class II devices regulated by the appropriate agency in your country. Only individuals
using FDA registered equipment will be placed on the I-ACT Web Site. Purchase equipment at your own
risk. Ensure you are in compliance with your local, state, federal and country guidelines. Ensure that equipment you purchase is cleared for use in your country.

I-ACT recognizes there are two distinct types of colon irrigation systems; open and closed systems. However,
it is I-ACT policy that the colon hydrotherapist / technician is always in attendance / or is immediately
available to the client throughout the session. The degree of assistance is to be in compliance with the
instructions of the manufacturer of the equipment as registered with the FDA, and/or as directed by a
physician.
The policy on insertion is to follow the instruction of the referring physician; the guidelines of the
manufacturer as approved by the FDA; or the directives from the authority of your city, county, state, or
country ordinances.
I-ACT recommends that you do not put the initials (CT) for colon hydrotherapist after your name, write it out
in full. According to most state laws, putting initials after your name is not allowed unless you are licensed or
have a degree from an accredited professional school.
Advertising copy which states or implies that colon hydrotherapy can treat any disease, promise cure for any
disease, or that makes unsubstantiated medical claims SHALL NOT be used.
