Many holistic practitioners believe that health begins with a well-cared for colon. The precise functioning of the body’s organs of detoxification explains why: every 4 minutes the blood cycles through the portal vein from the colon to the liver and back again. If the colon is toxic, through the connecting pathway of the portal vein, the liver becomes overloaded. The liver, then, can’t do its main function, which is to detoxify the whole body. The colon and liver are the 1-2 detoxification punch for the body.
Our therapy cleans the colon using a gentle water irrigation technique. Water is filtrated and passed through UV light to assure its purity. Colon therapy offers many health benefits including detoxification, cleansing of the bloodstream and the stimulation of internal organs. While you are relaxing, letting us gently stimulate your body to release its toxic materials, we facilitate the process through the use of reflexology and abdominal massage.
Colon therapy, when combined with flotation and the body polish, gives an unsurpassed detoxification.
When combined with essential oils in Raindrop Therapy, the cleansing is more thorough, and structural and electrical alignment are brought to the body.
60 minutes: $110; $90 for subsequent colonics
Raindrop Colonic Therapy
The Raindrop Technique is a method of using reflexology and massage techniques in combination with essential oils. Specific oils are applied to the body, bringing structural as well as electrical balance. This gentle treatment helps align the energy centers of the body, and allows release if they are blocked. Oils used are: Young Living products of Valor, Aroma-Siez, Ortho-ease, as well as oils of thyme, oregano, cypress, wintergreen, basil, peppermint, and marjoram. When this treatment is done in conjunction with colon therapy, the cleansing is more thorough.
When Raindrop colon therapy is combined with both floatation and La Casa’s unique body polish (said by the New York Times to “come close to magical realism, leaving you feeling otherworldly”), you have given your body an unsurpassed detoxification.
Raindrop Colonic: 2 hours; $190
Intensive Colonic
This is a colonic like none other, and La Casa is the only place in the entire world you can have it. We augment the colon cleansing with Pulsed Magnetic Therapy. This is a painless enhancement of the cleansing process. In fact, it will feel quite wonderful. As you are expelling your discharge, we will send gentle pulsed magnetic energy into your abdomen from our Pulsed Magnetic Generator, an FDA medically approved device. It’s a 1-2 punch: you get the benefits of the colonic with all the added benefits of the therapeutic effect from the PMT (which are systemic).
60 minutes: $150
Colonic Implants
Augment the cleansing effect by finishing with one of our implants.
These are effective because blood travels at 42 miles per hour
through the veins. All of the body’s blood passes through the liver
every 5 minutes. The colon is connected to the liver through the
portal vein. Thus, with an implant that is retained for 5 minutes,
you give your body the opportunity for a thorough dumping of poisons
through one whole blood cycle.
Our implants are:
Coffee: the caffeine in the coffee stimulates the bile duct to stay
open. The more the bile duct is open, the more dumping of poisons
happens. If the bile duct remains closed, the poisons simply
re-circulate within the body.
Bring your own, no charge.
Wheat grass: the absolute best nourishment on earth. Believe it or
not, whole body nourishment occurs through colon nourishment.
Bring your own, no charge.
Alkalizing mineral salts: pathogens cannot live in an alkaline
environment. Whole body is alkalized, as the salts move from
your colon, to your liver, to your bloodstream. We use the
best mineral salts available, made by Robert Young: a mix of
potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicabinate, calcium bi-carbonate and
magnesium bi-carbonate.
$10
Ozonated water: ozone kills every pathogen known to mankind. It is a
viral-cide, bacterial-cide, fungicide, yeast-cide, and everything
else-cide.
Must be requested upon making appointment.

Oxidative Therapies
When virgin forests covered the Earth, and when our oceans teemed with life, the oxygen content in the atmosphere was 38%. Today, it is less than 20%, and even lower in most urban areas.
Over 90% of the body’s energy is created by oxygen. Every single activity of the body is regulated by oxygen. Without oxygen, we cannot think, feel or act. The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we are able to produce. In fact, a good definition of vitality is the body’s ability to assimilate oxygen. On the other hand, oxygen deficiency creates an anaerobic environment, which can lead to anything from debilitating fatigue to life-threatening disease. Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize (twice) for his discovery that the cancer condition comes into existence only when normal cellular respiration has been replaced with anaerobic cellular respiration. Renowned molecular biologist and geneticist, Stephen Levine, has concluded that the lack of oxygen in human cells and tissues is the underlying root cause of not just cancer, but of all chronic degenerative disease.
At La Casa, we have various ways of introducing more oxygen into the body.
Super-Enriched Oxygen Bath
Give your
whole body a good dousing of the element you need the most:
Oxygen. Oxygen is the most critical nutrient for energy
production and healing. Without it, cells cannot repair.
Oxygen-deficient calls can languish in an injured state for
years, and eventually die. An infusion of oxygen gets the cells
going, stimulating them to excrete waste, and promoting their
ability to repair.
In our
Super-Enriched Oxygen Bath, you relax in a steam cabinet while
the pores in your body absorb an enriched from of vital,
activated oxygen. Concentrated oxygen is passed through a
generator to create the powerful healing gas that is called O3,
(ozone). This therapy is a detoxification par excellence.
O3 kills bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi. Whenever O3
comes into contact with microorganisms, it kills them.
Dr. Robert Jay
Rowen calls O3 “miracle healer.” As well as
detoxifying, O3 also increases circulation and
regulates metabolism. It is a powerful stimulant of cellular
growth factors, such as Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-B).
Also, immune cells are particularly responsive to O3
and are activated when they come into contact with O3.
All bodily processes are improved, including an increase in
production of collagen and cartilage.
With O3,
you’ve got a crackerjack construction crew rushing over to your
cells and repairing them at lightning speed! Great for
reparative effects as well as cleansing. Makes a great
combination with colonic therapy.
Treatment cost: $75 for 30 minutes ($50 when
combined with another one hour therapy)
Energized
Hormesis Stones can be added upon request for additional
benefits.
Oxidative Exercise (also called
EWOT – Exercise with Oxygen Therapy)
The three basic "nutrients" without which planet earth could not
exist as a home for living things are light, water, and oxygen. EWOT (pronounced ee-watt) stands for Exercise With Oxygen
Therapy. This method of prolonging your life is so simple that
it's hard to believe it could work, but it does. When your cells
don't get enough oxygen, they degenerate and die and so you
degenerate and die. It's as simple as that.
Human beings can take a lot of punishment, mentally and
physically, so these frequent drops in your ability to utilize
oxygen efficiently are not going to kill you immediately. You
would have died a long time ago if that were true. But each
oxygen deprivation can take its toll, and if a few cells die
here and there due to constant external (or internal) stress, it
begins to add up. The end result is premature aging.
Providing the body with additional oxygen neutralizes the stress
factors in inefficient oxygen in-take. When breathing extra
oxygen is coupled with exercise, you dramatically increase the
amount of oxygen in the blood plasma, i.e., the portion of the
blood outside the red and white cells. After 15 minutes of La
Casa’s Oxidative Exercise, there is a dramatic "pinking up" of
the skin. If this can be seen so easily by simple observation,
then it is obvious that the tiny capillaries, vessels tinier
than a strand of hair, are carrying extra oxygen to cells of the
body.
Standing on the Whole-Body Vibration platform is the gentle form
of exercise we have chosen to combine with the oxygen. The WBV
stimulates, strengthens and cleanses every cell in the body. When WBV is combined with breathing concentrated oxygen, the
whole body is feed on a cellular level. Thus, every organ (your
brain, kidneys, heart, eyes, and even the tips of your toes) is
being bathed in extra amounts of life-sustaining oxygen.
Meridian pathways in the body (as identified and used in acupuncture) begin or end at points on the feet. The feet have over 4000 pores, and they are the largest pores in the body. Within the fascia, the thin membranous layer located on the bottom of the foot, a large quantity of toxins are stored. For all of these reasons, the feet an ideal place in the body to both release toxins and to absorb nutrients. In La Casa’s Pedi-Detox therapy, the whole body, through the feet, is both detoxified and nourished.
La Casa’s Pedi-Detox instrument was approved in Europe as a class IIa medical device after a wealth of data documented that it is not only safe, but also effective as a whole-body detoxification treatment. The device operates by creating millions of ions, creating "bio-energetically" altered water. These ions, produced and circulating in the water that your feet rest in, enter your body through your feet. Through this “donation” of ions, the body's energetics are increased, or simply translated, "life-energy" is given to you. And simultaneously, the ions detox the body by attracting toxins to them; the toxins are then able to be released from the body.
While you are relaxing with your feet resting comfortably in the electromagnetically altered water, you will notice that the water will start to change color. In a short while, you will see sediment accumulating. This sediment and discoloration is coming out of your body. The particles of fat and mucous residues found in the water after the foot bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during a session. The ions have begun to neutralize and pull out tissue acid wastes.
The Pedi-Detox is especially effective in cleansing the body from heavy metals. You may see black flecks in the water as you are detoxifying. If you can grab hold of one of these small particles, and then squeeze it between your fingers, you will smell the distinctive scent of metal.
The over-all benefits of the Pedi-Detox system are:
detoxification;
stimulation and balancing of the body's energy meridians;
re-balancing of the body’s natural electrical energy system;
ATP production: ATP has natural body chemicals that extracts energy from your food and makes it available for numerous physiologic functions in the body. This increase in cellular ATP allows the cell to work and detoxify at a higher rate. Increasing the cells' ability to work at a higher rate will allow the cell to withstand stressors, either physical or chemical.
Specific Benefits:
Enhances cells' metabolism, detoxification and nutrients assimilation.
Enhances liver and kidneys functions and detoxification.
Prevents aging and beautifies/brightens skin complexion.
Balances hormones, body's pH and Yin Yang.
Improves blood circulation and nourishes the blood.
Improves arthritis, rheumatism and water retention.
Balances glucose levels, lipids, and blood pressure.
Improves various enzymatic activities in the body.
Strengthens immunity and prevents diseases.
To receive the maximum benefit of the Pedi-Detox system, an initial six treatments are recommended during a four to six week period. A subsequent monthly maintenance treatment is advised. Some individuals have chosen to continue the treatments on a more frequent basis and found that to eliminate metal toxicity they need to have two treatments a week for a longer period of time, in some cases up to six months.
The body will continue to release toxins up to 48 hours after the initial treatment. You will need to wait the full 48 hours before having the next treatment.
30 minutes: $60.
