HOLISTIC FITNESS IN THE "LADUE NEWS"
From “Ladue News” April 1, 2011
Holistic Fitness offers a range of services, including an infrared sauna. “The sauna is wonderful—so
many health benefits!” says Karen Gelb, lead therapist at Holistic Fitness in Shrewsbury. “We also have
a chiropractor, a terrific nutritional counselor and a massage therapist who does energy work that
includes Reiki and Pranic Healing. But our specialty is colon hydrotherapy.”
Most Americans are not familiar with colon hydrotherapy, sometimes referred to as colonics. “It’s a
trusted, age-old remedy, because 70% of your immune system lies in your colon,” explains Gelb. “So if
you’re fighting off a cold, or something worse and there’s impairment in your immune system, you’re not
going to win the fight. The idea of colonics is to treat the cause, as opposed to symptomatically treating
the body with pharmaceuticals.” The human body was designed with a natural ability to heal itself, Gelb
says. “But in today’s stressful world, there are so many toxins bombarding us that we’ve lost that
natural ability. If you can just get back to a clean body, it’s a tremendous boost to your immunity.”
A colonic uses purified water to clean the colon with a specialized instrument that removes waste. The
benefits of colonics can be seen with more consistent bowel movements, weight loss, clearer skin and
increased energy levels,” says Gelb. “And as the body acclimates itself to the colonic process, more toxic
material is removed with each process. Once you’ve done it and you start to feel better, it’s so worth it!”
Gelb says even hesitant first timers become enthusiastic clients. “When your body starts to feel like a
well-oiled machine, you’ll get it! People always laugh, but I refer to colon hydrotherapy as your body’s oil
change.”
