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.
REGIONAL REP LIST
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. 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 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).

NEW MEMBERS - 1ST QUARTER 2012
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:

Dear I-ACT Members,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and
looking forward to Spring, a time to become new
again. Winter hibernation is over. The trees are
budding, flowers planted in fall are blossoming,
the birds are singing and its now time to prepare
the soil for planting. Here in the Midwest we have
experienced the most amazing Spring weather.
Highs of 80 and lows of 32!!
For just a second, I encourage you to take time
and pause to appreciate how blessed we are.
We are unique professionals who empower the
individuals we meet everyday by giving them
tools to take control of their health. We give of
ourselves, often without question, our skills and
services to help others . This makes our profession
one that is blessed for your giving and caring
attitudes. I am always in awe of you and your
efforts to help our world one colon hydrotherapy
session at a time.
Unfortunately, there are a few in this profession,
whose actions do not demonstrate a high level of
concern for their clients, their customers, or our
profession. Perhaps, the day to day need to simply
make a living has resulted in increased stress
and contributed to the lost of connectedness that
originally brought them to our profession.

To: All Members of NBCHT

NBCHT President
Professional colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema—gently infusing warm, filtered water
into the rectum. The benefits of colon hydrotherapy in reduction
of the overall body burden are achieved through its ultimate results of:
Hydrating and cleansing the colon through repeated fills
and releases during a session;
Softening and loosening accumulated waste;
Facilitating evacuation through normal peristalsis (rectal
muscle movement).
What Constitutes Approved Colon Hydrotherapy?
by I-ACT at the Intermediate level. For all others, the registration fee remains at $300.00.
Thank you for helping us grow our Association.
to colon health and overall health. It indicates the amount of
time between ingesting food and when the remains are eliminated. A healthy bowel transit time (8–14 hours) reduces toxin
absorption, bloating, gas, indigestion, parasite infection, and
the chances of disease development in the colon that respectively compromises other immune functions especially the liver
and the lymphatics.
The good news . . . there are steps you can take to put your
colon health back in balance—steps to help maintain healthy
bowel function, begin feeling better, and gracefully aging without looking or feeling old.
One of the best ways to achieve wellness is with an all
natural colon fiber cleanse and colon irrigation, called Colonics or Colon Hydrotherapy. Colonics should be performed
by a certified therapist who has met the requirements of The
National Board for Colon Hydrotherapy (NBCHT). These qualified professionals use only FDA approved Class II equipment
with all disposable tubing and speculums and meet criteria set
forth by the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy (IACT). A Class II device requires a physician, or state defined
individual, to purchase the equipment.
Use of modern FDA registered equipment with all disposable tubing and speculums (rectal tubes);
Therapy performed by a qualified, certified colon health
professional;
Cleansing of the colon beyond the recto sigmoid area through
a series of fills and empty cycles (water in, water out);
The client’s privacy and dignity maintained at all times.
Locating a Qualified Therapist
As a natural health practitioner and recovered victim of a serious digestive disorder, I recommend you seek the services of an
I-ACT certified colon hydrotherapist using registered FDA equipment, disposable supplies, and filtered water. The I-ACT website
lists all certified therapists around the world on their website at
www.i-act.org. It’s important to clarify that I-ACT regulations, in
compliance with the FDA, does not allow colon hydrotherapists
to diagnose, treat or prescribe unless specifically licensed to do
so within their educational scope of practice and within their
state or country.
What’s a Colon Hydrotherapy Session Like?
It’s a comfortable discrete experience. Usually minor discomfort
arises when the individuals toxic burden is extremely high as

was the case for me during my leaky gut and the resulting multiple allergic responses from a damaged liver. My throat closed
in anaphylactic responses several times a day as a result of my
body pouring toxins into the organs of detoxification, specifically the liver, faster than my body’s ability to neutralize them.
As soon as I experienced the first release of toxic matter in my
hydrotherapy session, my throat returned to normal. Yes, many
times I experienced some gas and bloating after the therapy . . .
but then . . . what do you expect when you’ve “stirred” the compost pile? After all, if you stir any compost after putrefaction, the
action itself allows for escape of the gases created.
During a session of colon hydrotherapy, the only clothing
removed is from the waist down. You will be draped or in a
gown to ensure modesty and discretion at all times.
How Many Colon Hydrotherapy Sessions Are Needed?
Every individual is unique. When I work with patients with
chemically-induced immune system disorders (multiple chemical sensitivities, environmental illnesses, etc.) the considerations for frequency of therapy must take into consideration
their acute allergic responses. Generally they begin with one
therapy a week and often two to three if they are not eliminating on their own or their evacuations are not complete.
During my much written about illness, I had to have as
many as three therapies a week until my toxic burden was reduced significantly and my throat wasn’t closing daily. Thereafter, I continued with once a week and slowly spread it out until
I did fine with once every 6–8 weeks until I regained my health.
Now I have therapy at least once a month; more often if I’ve
traveled extensively or been exposed to toxic substances.

Healthy Recipes

Dr. Kolbo’s Basic Green Smoothie
1 cup pure water or hemp milk or ½ cup of each
½ cup frozen mango
1/3 banana
1 cup leafy greens like spinach, lettuce, Kale, chard, collards, etc.
1 teaspoon Sweet Life, ½ teaspoon Stevia or 1 tablespoon Agave
Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender (BlendTec or VitaMix) and blend until smooth.
Serving size – 1 – 16 ounce glass.
Dr. Kolbo’s Power Snack Cookie
This recipe is packed with incredible power morsels of nutrition. Included are nuts, seeds, oats,
dried fruit, coconut oil, rice flour, coconut flour and Nature’s Agave (only 17 on the glycemic index).
Dr. Kolbo loves them!
Ingredients:
1 Cup Organic Almond Butter (or organic cashew butter, organic peanut butter or a combination
thereof.)
1/3 Cup coconut oil - melted
3/4 Cup Nature’s agave nectar
1/4 Cup almond milk, hemp milk or coconut milk
1Tablespoon vanilla or almond extract
1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Teaspoon cardamom or crushed anise seeds or other spices
1 Teaspoon sea salt
Mix the above ingredients in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer until blended. Set
aside.
In a smaller bowl mix the following ingredients:
4 Cups ground almonds (I used 2 Cups almonds and 2 Cups walnuts)
You can use other nuts such as, brazil nuts, hazelnuts or pecans.
2/3 Cup brown rice flour
1/3 Cup coconut flour
1/2 Cup toasted oats
1/2 Cup toasted almond pieces
Optional: 1/2 Cup raisins or dried cranberries
Add this mixture to the mixture above and mix with a spoon.
Place 2 – inch balls on a parchment – lined cookie sheet and flatten lightly with a fork (dip
fork in cold water before pressing it on the cookie).
Use a fairly low oven temperature. Bake at 300 – 325 degrees for
8 – 10 minutes; agave nectar browns a little faster than sugar, so keep your eye on your
cookies and don’t let them get too dark on the bottom. Because we are not using eggs, a
lightly “under baked” interior is wonderful! Enjoy!

In most cases, it takes decades of nutritional abuse before your immune system can no longer protect you, especially against autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and,
of course, dreaded colon cancer. Those of you that follow my
writing, and/or consult with me, know that I credit colon hydrotherapy for saving my life after developing leaky gut (auto
intoxication) as a result of anti-inflammatory medications prescribed after a life-threatening accident as detailed in my bestselling book, I was Poisoned by my body.
Questions continue to arise regarding the benefits of colon hydrotherapy; my goal in this article is to provide simple,
factual information and dismiss misconceptions.
Key Points . . .
In 2009, Estimates by the American Cancer Society
identified more than 106,000 cases of colon cancer and
40,000 cases of rectal cancer— only lung cancer kills
more Americans;
90 percent of colorectal cancers are related to a poor diet;
Toxins are in just about in everything in which we come
into contact—the air we breathe, water we drink, food
we eat, and through skin absorption;
Our bodies were not engineered to neutralize substances from countless man-made chemicals, toxins, and
pollutants—especially those made after WWII;
Digestive and Inflammatory system diseases and disorders are the most common health issues today;
A healthy colon produces Vitamins B and K, absorbs
water and helps support healthy immune responses—
most of our immune system is based in our gut.
Historical Perspective . . .
Colon Hydrotherapy, or the enema, was first recorded
in ancient Egyptian documents. The great physician,
Galen (131–201 D.D., advocated the use of colon irrigation.
Many European kings and aristocrats used and benefited from colon irrigation. Louis XI credited the enema
with relieving his attack of seizures and Louis XII for
maintaining his overall health!
Consider these U.S. Statistics . . .
Over 100 million people (one third the population) have
digestive disorders;
65 million have chronic heartburn;
58 million suffer from irritable bowel;
50 million are lactose intolerant;
5 million have chronic constipation that actually require
a hospital visit.
Please nominate members for the Colon Therapist, Educator and
the Connie Allred Founder Awards. The President’s award is our
President’s choice. We have so many deserving therapists that should
be acknowledged for the work they do! To nominate someone,
Nomination Form.
Colon hydrotherapy gained the attention of James A. Wiltsie,
MD, who contended that our knowledge of the normal and
abnormal physiology of the colon, and of its pathology and
management, has not kept pace with that of many organs and
systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume that
the colon will simply just take care of itself, just that long will
we also remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most
important source of ill health in the whole body.
Toxins are everywhere in our bodies. The best place to begin reducing our body’s overall toxic burden is to cleanse our
colon—if the colon is full of colonic plaque, our immune responses are stagnated because it is now scientifically validated
that over 80 percent of our immune system is based in our
gut . . . that’s right . . . our gut!
Everything we consume or absorb winds up in your colon—
what your body doesn’t or can’t use remains as waste byproducts and toxins. In industrialized societies, individuals
can have as much as 10–20 plus pounds of putrefied waste
trapped in their colon, and as stated by the late Dr. Bernard
Jensen, “death begins in the colon.”
Understanding Bowel Transit Time
Hippocrates claimed
that chronic disease
came from auto intoxication, including
self-poisoning due to
constipation. More recently, we know that
auto intoxication is
also caused by a condition medically known
as intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
When toxins overwhelm your large intestine, it protects itself by producing extra
mucous. This gunk
sticks to the sludge
produced by a low
fiber diet creating a
build-up that narrows
the colon and provides a perfect sticky
breeding ground for
health-depleting microorganisms—making your colon work
less efficiently, and slowing down the time it takes to rid itself
of fecal matter (bowel transit time). Bowel transit time is a key
We will present the awards during the Saturday evening President’s

The Grievance Committee was set up to try and find a WIN WIN for all
members when differences or problems occur. We have found that this is not as
easily achieved as we had hoped. So the following Guidelines have been set to
speed up the progress and make all parties more accountable for their actions.
What we would love to have is for all members to bring the standards so
high, in teaching and client care, that there is never a need for anyone to file a
grievance.

Care Products
Constipation Relief Products that Complement Your Work
As colon hydrotherapists, we know that constipation can lead to more serious health concerns if left untreated. When food transit
time is slow, undigested foods can ferment or putrify, which produces harmful toxins that can enter the bloodstream. As this process
continues, other health problems can emerge. The Advanced Naturals Constipation Protocol is a proven and effective method of
helping your clients support a sluggish colon. Combined with a healthy diet, it can help establish optimal colon function for life.

I-ACT New York / New England Regional Meeting
Regional Rep: Beverley Blass
gracious host, Anne Murphy, in Plantsville, CT. It was a beautiful day of warmth, connection and dialogue for
what is happening and for what is to come. Most members are enthusiastic about the changes and look forward
to an updated website.
Troy, owner of Sustainable Business Coaching, gave a great talk on listening. It was met with a positive
response. Beverley spoke about constipation and three things therapists could have their clients do to ease this
problem. Her approach was from a body-centered perspective, bringing more awareness to both client and
therapist in their relationship.
Beverley and Anne Murphy presented a dialogue as therapist and client on taking out bundles of diet books,
sensitive, leaky gut ……..on and on. This created much interaction between the therapists and a round table
with everyone there involved.
The key to this day was the amount of involvement, with everybody having the opportunity to share and be
heard. Because of the success of this meeting, one therapist said she has renewed enthusiasm for I-ACT. She
had no idea of the level of knowledge Beverley and the other presenters had, and that the awareness she gained
was so encouraging.

Education
Committee
Report
By Russell Kolbo,
DC, ND
The Senior Education Committee met on March 14, 2012. Present at this meeting were Russell Kolbo, Dorothy Chandler, Beverley Blass, France Robert, and
Dick Hoenninger.
US Regional Representatives
Actions resulting from that meeting are a recommendation that the I-ACT Board
approve that all instructor candidates present at their Regional Meeting in order
to help them sharpen their presentation skills.
Dorothy and Beverley are working on a draft revision of our Instructor syllabi
that will be presented to the full Education Committee for their input at the 2012
Convention.
In addition, we hope to have a standardized presentation, originally developed by Dr. Yong, that discusses the different types of equipment available for your review.
There was a lengthy discussion about I-ACT Schools & Instructors participation with other organizations and using I-ACT materials to train students that do not join I-ACT. A copy of that letter is
on page 34. Additionally, you will be sent a copy of that letter for your files. The letter outlines our
concerns and your responsibilities to protect I-ACT materials.
Next, we took an action to develop a review course for the NBCHT Certification Exam. This will be
available soon (by webinar) to help you prepare for the NBCHT Exam if you are not already NBCHT
Certified.
Finally, there was a discussion on the structure of the 2012 Education Committee Meeting at the
Convention. As a basic outline, the NBCHT Exam review will be presented, followed by a discussion
about contracts, a complete review of all I-ACT documents including each level of syllabi, with the
session ending with the Instructor exam.
International Regional Representatives
As always, we welcome your position papers to help us improve our educational standards.
We will see you at the Convention.
Sincerely,
I-ACT Education Committee Chairperson

Recently, a local chamber of commerce presented a discussion forum on the topics

a business owner and customer regarding the business refund policy for purchased

When the customer arrived for the appointment, she described being pressured into

Information on Legal Action taken by the I-ACT Board
The I-ACT Board of Directors has made a decision to terminate a member that did not respond to
a Cease and Desist letter. In addition, the individual continued to provide and to use materials (either oral,
written, or electronic), which provides an equivalence of I-ACT training at any level to an equivalent level of
training with a different association. Additionally, they used materials with information plagiarized from I-ACT
materials.
The I-ACT Board of Directors determined that these actions are detrimental to the profession and the
association.

Ethical Business Practices
Recently, a local chamber of commerce presented a discussion forum on the topics
of customer service and business ethics. The discussion detailed a dispute between
a business owner and customer regarding the business refund policy for purchased
services. The customer, new to the business, scheduled an appointment and came in.
When the customer arrived for the appointment, she described being pressured into
purchasing additional services and paying before receiving the service originally
scheduled. After being escorted to the treatment area, the customer requested a

Education
Committee
Report
By Russell Kolbo,
DC, ND
The Senior Education Committee met on March 14, 2012. Present at this meeting were Russell Kolbo, Dorothy Chandler, Beverley Blass, France Robert, and
Dick Hoenninger.
US Regional Representatives
Actions resulting from that meeting are a recommendation that the I-ACT Board
approve that all instructor candidates present at their Regional Meeting in order
to help them sharpen their presentation skills.
Dorothy and Beverley are working on a draft revision of our Instructor syllabi
that will be presented to the full Education Committee for their input at the 2012
Convention.
In addition, we hope to have a standardized presentation, originally developed by Dr. Yong, that discusses the different types of equipment available for your review.
There was a lengthy discussion about I-ACT Schools & Instructors participation with other organizations and using I-ACT materials to train students that do not join I-ACT. A copy of that letter is
on page 34. Additionally, you will be sent a copy of that letter for your files. The letter outlines our
concerns and your responsibilities to protect I-ACT materials.
Next, we took an action to develop a review course for the NBCHT Certification Exam. This will be
available soon (by webinar) to help you prepare for the NBCHT Exam if you are not already NBCHT
Certified.
Finally, there was a discussion on the structure of the 2012 Education Committee Meeting at the
Convention. As a basic outline, the NBCHT Exam review will be presented, followed by a discussion
about contracts, a complete review of all I-ACT documents including each level of syllabi, with the
session ending with the Instructor exam.
International Regional Representatives
As always, we welcome your position papers to help us improve our educational standards.
We will see you at the Convention.
Sincerely,
I-ACT Education Committee Chairperson

gracious host, Anne Murphy, in Plantsville, CT. It was a beautiful day of warmth, connection and dialogue for
what is happening and for what is to come. Most members are enthusiastic about the changes and look forward
to an updated website.
Troy, owner of Sustainable Business Coaching, gave a great talk on listening. It was met with a positive
response. Beverley spoke about constipation and three things therapists could have their clients do to ease this
problem. Her approach was from a body-centered perspective, bringing more awareness to both client and
therapist in their relationship.
Beverley and Anne Murphy presented a dialogue as therapist and client on taking out bundles of diet books,
sensitive, leaky gut ……..on and on. This created much interaction between the therapists and a round table
with everyone there involved.
The key to this day was the amount of involvement, with everybody having the opportunity to share and be
heard. Because of the success of this meeting, one therapist said she has renewed enthusiasm for I-ACT. She
had no idea of the level of knowledge Beverley and the other presenters had, and that the awareness she gained
was so encouraging.

As colon hydrotherapists, we know that constipation can lead to more serious health concerns if left untreated. When food transit
time is slow, undigested foods can ferment or putrify, which produces harmful toxins that can enter the bloodstream. As this process
continues, other health problems can emerge. The Advanced Naturals Constipation Protocol is a proven and effective method of
helping your clients support a sluggish colon. Combined with a healthy diet, it can help establish optimal colon function for life.

What we would love to have is for all members to bring the standards so

Connie Allred Founders Award, and *President’s Award
In most cases, it takes decades of nutritional abuse before your immune system can no longer protect you, especially against autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and,
of course, dreaded colon cancer. Those of you that follow my
writing, and/or consult with me, know that I credit colon hydrotherapy for saving my life after developing leaky gut (auto
intoxication) as a result of anti-inflammatory medications prescribed after a life-threatening accident as detailed in my bestselling book, I was Poisoned by my body.
Questions continue to arise regarding the benefits of colon hydrotherapy; my goal in this article is to provide simple,
factual information and dismiss misconceptions.
Key Points . . .
In 2009, Estimates by the American Cancer Society
identified more than 106,000 cases of colon cancer and
40,000 cases of rectal cancer— only lung cancer kills
more Americans;
90 percent of colorectal cancers are related to a poor diet;
Toxins are in just about in everything in which we come
into contact—the air we breathe, water we drink, food
we eat, and through skin absorption;
Our bodies were not engineered to neutralize substances from countless man-made chemicals, toxins, and
pollutants—especially those made after WWII;
Digestive and Inflammatory system diseases and disorders are the most common health issues today;
A healthy colon produces Vitamins B and K, absorbs
water and helps support healthy immune responses—
most of our immune system is based in our gut.
Historical Perspective . . .
Colon Hydrotherapy, or the enema, was first recorded
in ancient Egyptian documents. The great physician,
Galen (131–201 D.D., advocated the use of colon irrigation.
Many European kings and aristocrats used and benefited from colon irrigation. Louis XI credited the enema
with relieving his attack of seizures and Louis XII for
maintaining his overall health!
Consider these U.S. Statistics . . .
Over 100 million people (one third the population) have
digestive disorders;
65 million have chronic heartburn;
58 million suffer from irritable bowel;
50 million are lactose intolerant;
5 million have chronic constipation that actually require
a hospital visit.
Please nominate members for the Colon Therapist, Educator and
the Connie Allred Founder Awards. The President’s award is our
President’s choice. We have so many deserving therapists that should
be acknowledged for the work they do! To nominate someone,
Nomination Form.
Colon hydrotherapy gained the attention of James A. Wiltsie,
MD, who contended that our knowledge of the normal and
abnormal physiology of the colon, and of its pathology and
management, has not kept pace with that of many organs and
systems of the body. As long as we continue to assume that
the colon will simply just take care of itself, just that long will
we also remain in complete ignorance of perhaps the most
important source of ill health in the whole body.
Toxins are everywhere in our bodies. The best place to begin reducing our body’s overall toxic burden is to cleanse our
colon—if the colon is full of colonic plaque, our immune responses are stagnated because it is now scientifically validated
that over 80 percent of our immune system is based in our
gut . . . that’s right . . . our gut!
Everything we consume or absorb winds up in your colon—
what your body doesn’t or can’t use remains as waste byproducts and toxins. In industrialized societies, individuals
can have as much as 10–20 plus pounds of putrefied waste
trapped in their colon, and as stated by the late Dr. Bernard
Jensen, “death begins in the colon.”
Understanding Bowel Transit Time
Hippocrates claimed
that chronic disease
came from auto intoxication, including
self-poisoning due to
constipation. More recently, we know that
auto intoxication is
also caused by a condition medically known
as intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
When toxins overwhelm your large intestine, it protects itself by producing extra
mucous. This gunk
sticks to the sludge
produced by a low
fiber diet creating a
build-up that narrows
the colon and provides a perfect sticky
breeding ground for
health-depleting microorganisms—making your colon work
less efficiently, and slowing down the time it takes to rid itself
of fecal matter (bowel transit time). Bowel transit time is a key

Professional colon hydrotherapy is an extended and more complete form of an enema—gently infusing warm, filtered water
into the rectum. The benefits of colon hydrotherapy in reduction
of the overall body burden are achieved through its ultimate results of:
Hydrating and cleansing the colon through repeated fills
and releases during a session;
Softening and loosening accumulated waste;
Facilitating evacuation through normal peristalsis (rectal
muscle movement).
What Constitutes Approved Colon Hydrotherapy?
by I-ACT at the Intermediate level. For all others, the registration fee remains at $300.00.
Thank you for helping us grow our Association.
to colon health and overall health. It indicates the amount of
time between ingesting food and when the remains are eliminated. A healthy bowel transit time (8–14 hours) reduces toxin
absorption, bloating, gas, indigestion, parasite infection, and
the chances of disease development in the colon that respectively compromises other immune functions especially the liver
and the lymphatics.
The good news . . . there are steps you can take to put your
colon health back in balance—steps to help maintain healthy
bowel function, begin feeling better, and gracefully aging without looking or feeling old.
One of the best ways to achieve wellness is with an all
natural colon fiber cleanse and colon irrigation, called Colonics or Colon Hydrotherapy. Colonics should be performed
by a certified therapist who has met the requirements of The
National Board for Colon Hydrotherapy (NBCHT). These qualified professionals use only FDA approved Class II equipment
with all disposable tubing and speculums and meet criteria set
forth by the International Association of Colon Hydrotherapy (IACT). A Class II device requires a physician, or state defined
individual, to purchase the equipment.
Use of modern FDA registered equipment with all disposable tubing and speculums (rectal tubes);
Therapy performed by a qualified, certified colon health
professional;
Cleansing of the colon beyond the recto sigmoid area through
a series of fills and empty cycles (water in, water out);
The client’s privacy and dignity maintained at all times.
Locating a Qualified Therapist
As a natural health practitioner and recovered victim of a serious digestive disorder, I recommend you seek the services of an
I-ACT certified colon hydrotherapist using registered FDA equipment, disposable supplies, and filtered water. The I-ACT website
lists all certified therapists around the world on their website at
www.i-act.org. It’s important to clarify that I-ACT regulations, in
compliance with the FDA, does not allow colon hydrotherapists
to diagnose, treat or prescribe unless specifically licensed to do
so within their educational scope of practice and within their
state or country.
What’s a Colon Hydrotherapy Session Like?
It’s a comfortable discrete experience. Usually minor discomfort

was the case for me during my leaky gut and the resulting multiple allergic responses from a damaged liver. My throat closed
in anaphylactic responses several times a day as a result of my
body pouring toxins into the organs of detoxification, specifically the liver, faster than my body’s ability to neutralize them.
As soon as I experienced the first release of toxic matter in my
hydrotherapy session, my throat returned to normal. Yes, many
times I experienced some gas and bloating after the therapy . . .
but then . . . what do you expect when you’ve “stirred” the compost pile? After all, if you stir any compost after putrefaction, the
action itself allows for escape of the gases created.
During a session of colon hydrotherapy, the only clothing
removed is from the waist down. You will be draped or in a
gown to ensure modesty and discretion at all times.
How Many Colon Hydrotherapy Sessions Are Needed?
Every individual is unique. When I work with patients with
chemically-induced immune system disorders (multiple chemical sensitivities, environmental illnesses, etc.) the considerations for frequency of therapy must take into consideration
their acute allergic responses. Generally they begin with one
therapy a week and often two to three if they are not eliminating on their own or their evacuations are not complete.
During my much written about illness, I had to have as
many as three therapies a week until my toxic burden was reduced significantly and my throat wasn’t closing daily. Thereafter, I continued with once a week and slowly spread it out until
I did fine with once every 6–8 weeks until I regained my health.
Now I have therapy at least once a month; more often if I’ve
traveled extensively or been exposed to toxic substances.

Letter to the Members from the I-ACT President:

Dear I-ACT Members,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and
looking forward to Spring, a time to become new
again. Winter hibernation is over. The trees are
budding, flowers planted in fall are blossoming,
the birds are singing and its now time to prepare
the soil for planting. Here in the Midwest we have
experienced the most amazing Spring weather.
Highs of 80 and lows of 32!!
For just a second, I encourage you to take time
and pause to appreciate how blessed we are.
We are unique professionals who empower the
individuals we meet everyday by giving them
tools to take control of their health. We give of
ourselves, often without question, our skills and
services to help others . This makes our profession
one that is blessed for your giving and caring
attitudes. I am always in awe of you and your
efforts to help our world one colon hydrotherapy
session at a time.
Unfortunately, there are a few in this profession,
whose actions do not demonstrate a high level of
concern for their clients, their customers, or our
profession. Perhaps, the day to day need to simply
make a living has resulted in increased stress
and contributed to the lost of connectedness that
originally brought them to our profession.

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.
REGIONAL REP LIST
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. 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 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).

NEW MEMBERS - 1ST QUARTER 2012
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.
