I-ACT recommends the use of currently registered FDA equipment and only disposable speculums, rectal tubes, or rectal nozzles. However, should the Therapist use reusable speculums, these speculums should, at a minimum, be autoclaved for sanitation and cleanliness (30 minutes). Additionally, the autoclave unit must be tested and inspected by competent authority at least four times per year- maintain documentation. (Under NO conditions should a disposable speculum or rectal tube be reused).

evacuate the contents of the colon into three distinct classes; Class I (Enema Kits), Class II and Class III are (Colon Irrigation Systems). Follow the guidelines of your manufacturer, as approved by the FDA for the type of equipment (devices) you are using. Make no claims as to the use of your device other than those approved by the FDA. The main differences between Class I and Class II devices:

I and the Class II devices. From that regulation, a Class I device does not include “colonic irrigation devices”. A “colon irrigation device” is a Class II device which in part is described as: “The system is designed to allow evacuation of the contents of the colon during the administration of the colonic irrigation.

market that as a colonic irrigation device as it clearly is an enema kit.

Although I-ACT is not aware of any laws that preclude you from assisting an individual with an enema, I-ACT does want you to con-sider upgrading your equipment to the equipment that provides the greatest safeguards to the public. In this profession, that would be equipment marketed as Class II devices.

Remember that I-ACT strongly recommends that all I-ACT members use FDA registered Class II devices or devices equivalent to Class II devices regulated by the appropriate agency in your country. Purchase equipment at your own risk. Ensure you are in com-pliance with your local, state, federal and country guidelines. Ensure that equipment you purchase is cleared for use in your country.

I-ACT recognizes there are two distinct types of colon irrigation systems; open and closed systems. However, it is I-ACT policy that the colon hydrotherapist / technician is always in attendance / or is immediately available to the client throughout the session. The degree of assistance is to be in compliance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the equipment as registered with the FDA, and/or as directed by a physician.

The policy on insertion is to follow the instruction of the referring physician; the guidelines of the manufacturer as approved by the FDA; or the directives from the authority of your city, county, state, or country ordinances.

I-ACT recommends that you do not put the initials (CT) for colon hydrotherapist after your name, write it out in full. According to most state laws, putting initials after your name is not allowed unless you are licensed or have a degree from an accredited professional school.

Advertising copy which states or implies that colon hydrotherapy can treat any disease, promise cure for any disease, or that makes unsubstantiated medical claims SHALL NOT be used.

Dear I-ACT Very Important People (Our members):

Does it seem like time is flying? I can remember when we were celebrating the new millennium, and here we are, about to say goodbye to 2010. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. When we take time to reflect on what we have accomplished, are you satisfied with where you are at?

This is an interesting thought. Is your business growing as you projected? Are you growing spiritually? Are your relationships growing as you hoped? Perhaps during this Holiday Season, you can find some time to sit and reflect on where you have been and where you are going.

You are a very important part of our association, and the service you provide to your clients is a very important part of their health program. People in our profession are a very select group of special people. You are willing to give of yourself to help others try to improve their lives. For your service, you are honored. You are blessed because of what you do for others. I thank you for being you; I thank you for caring, and I thank you for sharing.

With all that you do, and all that you have done for others, you have a special place in our hearts. However, at this time of year, it might be helpful for you to take some time for yourself. I understand how hard that is for you to do, but I believe it is important for you to honor yourself also. Take some time to reflect on your life and what you have done and want to do in the future. Take some time to set up a plan of action for your life. Finally, take some time to do something nice for yourself. You deserve it.

Now that you are rested and relaxed and have a plan of action, you are ready for 2011.

2011 will be a fantastic year for I-ACT.

In February, during our first face to face Board meeting of 2011, we will be reviewing the long range plans for our association. We will establish a framework for where we want I-ACT to be in the next 10 - 20 years. If you have any suggestions, we welcome your inputs. This is your association, and we want to hear from you. Send your suggestions to the I-ACT office and they will be reviewed during the February Board meeting.

Additionally, we have a wonderful Convention planned for Portland, OR. Our Board meeting will be on Monday and Tuesday (June 20 & 21, 2011). You are welcome to attend. On Wednesday (June 22), we will have our committee meetings, and the mandatory School / Instructor meeting. The presentors start on Thursday, June 23, 2011. We have some fantastic speakers scheduled and we hope to see you there. We are working on a special surprise for this Convention, but cannot make any announcements at this time. We will let you know if we have been successful.

We hope you had a Wonderful Holiday Season, and wish you a Healthy and Prosperous 2011.

Truly,

Pam Craig ([email protected]) I-ACT PresidentAll is in Divine Order

Allred Colonic School and Clinic

Classes and Training in Bodywork with Colon Hydrotherapy

There are a vast number of colon hydrotherapists who address diverse aspects of my profession. Many are about diet while others cleansing with weight loss, and countless more encourage products, but no one is addressing the foundation of mechanics and function; the root to sustain change and equilibrium. If symptoms of the Large Intestine alone are our focus without consideration to its origin, we miss the mark as facilitator and educator; at best we will only parallel traditional medicine. My experience with Colon Hydrotherapy began in 1973. As a Therapist, the concepts, relevance and expanding bodywork which I pioneered from 1977~1982, currently and perpetually identified as the original Bodywork with Colon Hydrotherapy, are the foundations that paved the way for many more Colon Hydrotherapists and methods to follow. The two presentations I facilitated at the 2000 and 2001I-ACT conventions demonstrate this account and establish a history of knowledge and skill.

Professional Standards & Ethics Committee - Report Greetings Everyone

for the New Year. Originally titled Website Compliance, we began as a subcommittee of the Education committee by board direction. The primary task grew from identifying areas of concern and non-compliance by members with the

on the new task of developing policies on standards and ethics of practice for colon hydrotherapy.

In previous publications we have discussed the terms copyright, trademark and intellectual property rights. These legal terms are used to protect material developed by an association, an individual or a business entity. Everything produced by I-ACT including the logos used by our association fall into each of these categories. In our efforts to encourage members to use of the member logo we discovered that our association logo was available on Google to anyone.

Advertising on the Internet is the one area that receives consistent expressions of concern by our membership.

home based locations, etc.

So recently, during a discussion on this topic, a question was asked regarding how other professions advertise. Would a massage therapist state in an advertisement, “My Hands Are Better Than the Hands Over There.” Probably not. So ask yourself, “Is the advertising related to the service offered, experience and skill of the individual or does it just knock the other guy?”

Think about this, would you put some of the words currently used to advertise or promote your business on a bill board in New York’s Times Square? As you go about your day, think about the decisions you make before completing a purchase. When choosing to purchase any service or product what stands out for you, what closes the deal?

Education, Experience, Skill level, Recommendation from trusted source, Cost of service or product, Hours of

operation or how the person answers the phone?

When deciding what to say on a blog, on your website or in an article to be published, make sure your message is

SUCCESS IN THE MAKING

As we celebrate our corporation’s first anniversary on December 9th, we reflect back on the excitement we had as our first speculum came off the assembly line on May 12, 2010.

It seems like yesterday, that we found ourselves in the worst turmoil of our lives. October 2009 we had lost our jobs, as well as, our financial and emotional investment. It was time to take control of our own destiny. As all of you entrepreneurs know, it isn’t easy starting a new business. After contemplating many avenues, we could not deny that colon therapy was in our hearts. We knew that there had to be something we could do to help facilitate the future success of this incredibly beneficial therapy.

Developing the Smooth-‐Tip speculum took three long months of design and engineering work; and an additional two months of fine tuning our injection-‐mold to perfection. The end result was a speculum that would be comfortable enough for the most sensitive client.

As our company grows we assure you that we will be there for you just as you have been there for us; with understanding and compassion. There is no unimportant customer, big or small; there are no silly questions, nor a time of day that you can’t reach us by phone or email.

We thank you for your patronage and loyalty! Maury and Julie Solomon

Meeting

Background: I-ACT has an established policy for Schools / Instructors to attend the Mandatory School / Instructor meeting that is held during the Convention. The purpose of this mandatory meeting is to ensure that all

Schools / Instructors need to teach I-ACT students.

Three years ago, the I-ACT Board, at the recommendation of the Education Committee - with input from all Instructors, made a determination that Instructors or schools that did not attend the meeting would be placed on a Provisional Instructor status and would have to provide a “show cause letter” explaining why they did not attend the meeting.

Provisional Instructor Status. A Provisional Instructor is still an instructor, but may not train any students

Committee meeting suggested that the Board approve some options for those that did not or could not comply. After deliberation, the Board approved four options for the instructors that were not compliant. The instructor could complete one of the four options and regain their Instructor status. They had until

industry owning her own restaurant. Twelve years ago she was introduced to Alternative Health Medicine and a love and appreciation for this Holistic approach to healing was formed. She studied extensively and was able to give help and care to many along the way. She was a giver through and through giving of herself became her life and she poured it freely in to helping

just because of the cancer but, because it is hard for a giver such as Regina to receive from others. Her death will leave a vacancy in the heart of many friends, relatives and patients.

She was preceded in death by her father, John A. Templet Sr. and her sister, Wanda F. Gorski.

She is survived by her son, Terry Trosclair Jr. of Hattiesburg, MS; her mother, Gertrude Templet of Gautier, MS.; two brothers, John Templet Jr ( Tammie) of Hurley, MS. and Roger Dale Templet of Pascagoula, MS; brother-in-law, Jerry Gorski of FL; niece, Jodi Gorski McKenzie (Chuck) of Ocean Springs, MS; two nephews, Jay Templet (Amanda) of Hurley, MS and Cory Templet of Pascagoula, MS; two great nieces, Alyssa Templet and Avery Kate McKenzie; and a great nephew, Parker McKenzie.
