Margie H. Ford is a recognized name in health and wellness circles. She is the creator of the national award winning Prescription for a Healthy Lifestyletm alternative food and exercise program. She earned her Bachelors Degree and later earned her MPA from Southern University.

Mrs. Ford is certified in Colon Hydrotherapy by The International Association of Colon Therapeutics (I-ACT) and has undergone extensive supplemental training in other parts of the country under the nation's most knowledgeable and talented colon specialists.

Having lost her mother, father and brother all to various forms of cancer, she began to search for additional ways to improve the quality of her own health. A certified and practicing Aerobics, Aerobic Kickboxing, Step Aerobics and CPR instructor, Ford found her calling as a colon therapist while receiving one of the numerous colon cleanings she receives each year.

"I was on the table, feeling good and enjoying the fact that my lifestyle has afforded me sound health, when I realized that too many people in the world simply don't get the exposure to, and understand the benefits of, regular colon cleansing," she recalls.

"Look back at how dentistry has progressed for example. In the stone age, when your teeth rotted out, you simply grabbed a rock and extracted the ailing tooth in a violent motion of desperation.

"Fortunately, that is no longer the case. Now (in modern times) we brush three times daily, get our teeth cleaned twice a year to remove impacted food particles and use fluorides and other solutions to promote healthy gums and defeat odors in our mouths caused by remnants of food.

"Just because you can't open your colon and look in it (like you can your mouth) doesn't mean that it shouldn't be cleaned. Your colon gets impacted with decaying food just like your gums and teeth do. It develops foul aromas...even much worse than the worst case of bad breath, and can negatively impact a wide variety of health conditions.

"Need I say anymore? We clean our septic tanks, but we don't clean our colons?

"With the opening of Utopian Colon Hydrotherapy of Baton Rouge I am now postured to change all of that; while positively impacting the health of thousands in the process. Education on the subject will be key. My staff and I are prepared to to take this valuable life-saving process to the next level of exposure. Already the reception to this process has been stellar. The health benefits of colon hydrotherapy have even been featured on a national television special by Katie Couric.

"And that makes this the most satisfying venture of my life!"
