Many years ago, Carol Ann Sterken was suffering from a number of chronic illnesses including fibromyalgia, acid reflux and fatigue. Only getting 2 hours of sleep each night and in a lot of pain, Carol Ann was living on over the counter pain relievers. She hated living this way but knew that doctors would just give her different pills for the symptoms.
Then she got really sick. When she couldn’t stand up straight because of the pain, she headed for the hospital. One MRI and colonoscopy later, the doctors said she had a bowel infection and needed surgery. Her husband Carl called the family and her brother, a chiropractor and proponent of holistic health, advised against it. He said the problems were due to a lack of nutrition because of her diet – junk food and convenience food made with enriched flour and refined sugar. He explained that processed food is difficult to digest. This eventually leads to constipation making it difficult for the colon to expel waste and absorb nutrition, even when you’re eating good food. He recommended changing her diet and ‘cleansing.’
It was a tough choice. She didn’t want surgery but didn’t want to continue living in pain. She decided to follow her brother’s advice. She said goodbye to processed foods and started eating fresh vegetables and fruits and drinking lots of water. Little by little, her health problems began to disappear along with the daily doses of pain medication.
She started reading books about nutrition and detoxing and learned how the body works. After a couple of months she started cleansing at home. Next, he recommended colonics, a procedure that cleanses the colon through the administration of water using plastic tubes inserted through the rectum. After filling the colon, the therapist might massage the abdomen to help soften and move waste material. “Are you nuts?!” Carol Ann asked. “I am NOT doing that!” “You’ll get better faster,” he insisted. So she reluctantly agreed.
Carol Ann found a therapist and began treatments. Her health improved and she soon had a new lease on life. When her therapist announced her plans to leave the state, she suggested Carol Ann take over the business. “The way you’ve turned your health around will be a good example for others.” Carol Ann had her doubts but knew that colonics had helped her and could help other people too.
In 2007, after a ten day seminar, she was certified as a Colon Hydro-Therapist by Wood Hygenic Institute in Florida. When she returned, the business location she had chosen was ready and Carl built and installed a gravity-based water delivery system using plans from the Institute. After the custom therapy beds were installed, Natural Healing Solutions opened in August.
Since then, she has given hundreds of colonics and witnessed health improvements in dozens of clients. Carol Ann firmly believes that colonics, coupled with a good diet can improve many people’s health. “I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t believe in it.”
