cleansing the colon.  Around the turn of the 20th century, the present-day colon hydrotherapy
equipment was developed, providing a significantly improved method of accomplishing colon
cleansing.  Up to the late 1920‘s many doctors had the equipment in their offices and hospitals
as well.  Articles dealing with colon health frequently appeared in prestigious medical and

scientific journals until the early 1930”s.  At that time modern man began a plus 75-year love

affair with pharmaceuticals and surgery.  These seemed to offer relatively instant relief for body ailments, resulting in purification and prevention techniques becoming less attractive. 

Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in using natural approaches.  
Colon hydrotherapy has rapidly been regaining the respectability it had already earned.
The body heals itself!

Dr. Leyla Ali, Pharm. D graduated from University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy in 1998 and

has worked in the pharmacy field for almost 20 years. After working in a variety of pharmacy settings,

Dr. Ali has become very disappointed with the business side of pharmacy. Patients expect that when a

doctor prescribes a medication, that their health will be improved. However, often drugs are

prescribed only to maintain poor health without addressing the underlying cause of the condition. 

This can create long term customers for doctors, pharmacies and drug companies, but does not

necessarily improve a patient’s overall health and well being. 

Dr. Ali is the founder of www.TheButterflyGuide.com, an online holistic directory. Dr. Ali’s vision

is to create TheButterflyGuide.com into the most complete holistic directory on the web. She aims

to create networks of holistic practitioners in communities. She also envisions holding seminars that w

ill introduce people to alternative solutions for their healthcare needs, along with an online holistic forum.

The forum will be helpful in finding solutions for a variety of conditions, and will be derived from other

people’s experiences. Readers will be able learn about which holistic treatments worked or didn’t

work for the various conditions. For every condition and disease that exists, there also exist stories

of those who found better solutions and were able to discontinue their medication.
