About Us - Colon Care Clinic

Agnes Roitman, a division one registered nurse of over 30 years in cancer wards founded the Colon Care Clinic in 1997 in Melbourne. The motivation for opening a colonic irrigation clinic stemmed from watching helplessly as her own mother passed away from colon cancer. In addition, Agnes is the first to admit that she abused laxatives in her youth, which led to a lazy bowel and caused her all the symptoms one can expect from an unhealthy colon.

Upon extensive research and study Agnes came to the conclusion, that in combination with a nutritious diet and proper exercise, colonic irrigation is an effective detoxification and preventative mechanism.

The only problem was that at that time in Melbourne there was no place for Agnes to go for her to have regular colonic sessions. It was then that Agnes took a risk and in 1997 opened The Colon Care Clinic in Hawthorn, Melbourne and since then has assisted tens of thousands of people.

Our clinic's professionalism, passion and dedication are second to none.

The Colon Care Clinic is frequently complimented on its impeccable hygiene standards and the quality of its TGA equipment.

Each of our four procedure rooms offers a calming atmosphere and complete privacy, however, assistance is available upon request.

The LIBBE

All Colonic sessions are administered using LIBBE equipment which offers the highest quality in safety and sanitation and complies with TGA and FDA guidelines that dictate rigorous accountability. The features of the equipment include: temperature controlled water, an odourless vent system, a clear viewing tube, a ultra-violet purification and filter system and an automatic safety shutoff system. Disposable single use rectal tubes are used with every colonic irrigation session.

The LIBBE in Use

A colonic irrigation session is a drug free method whereby purified warm water is introduced into the bowel through a sterilized, disposable, small pencil thin tube. The purified water gently fills the bowels, then compelled by gravity alone, is flushed out. During a colonic irrigation session you can expect to flush out poisons, gas, accumulated faeces matter and 'mucoid plaque' that line the colon and corrupt its proper function.

During the session the patient can observe the waste exiting through a viewing tube, which runs alongside the procedure bed. The same process is repeated a number of times from 45 to 60 minutes. Full privacy is provided and a therapist is always available upon request.

In early 2009 after having spent our first ten years in Hawthorn we moved to larger premises on 542 Riversdale Road in Camberwell, Melbourne, showing you our commitment to colonic irrigation.

Our new clinic has had extensive renovations and each of the four completely private treatment rooms include en-suite, ducted heating / ac and mounted wall TV screens for your comfort.
