Dr. Sylvester Yong Siew Yuen
Resident Colon Heath & Detoxification/Cleansing Contributor

Dr. Yong epitomises the modern day western doctor who has widened horizons and opened up to natural, alternative and complementary treatments. Remaining at status quo and prescribing drugs is an easy and lucrative route that he, like many other doctors are doing, could have taken. But he is not one to rest on his laurels and neglect the facts – clearly acknowledging the limitations of the conventional western medicine paradigm. 

I regard him as a colon specialist simply because his pioneering ventures in the path of colon health had led him to offer an extremely effective and non-abrasive form of colon cleanse known as colon hydrotherapy which is the mainstay of his clinic.  There is so little objective insights into colon hydrotherapy out there that he is definitely an authority figure on it. 

Colon health is the foundation of total well-being and it's a fact that 80% of diseases begin in the gut. This is an area where Dr. Yong has tremendous insight and value to offer apart from his already well-honed expertise as a physician.

Dr. Yong's initial interest was in the field of gerontology - the study of ageing. He was the founding president of the Gerontological Society in 1984. Over the years, he developed an interest in the complementary health practices and established the Holistic Health Society in 1994. In recent years he has embraced Integrative Medicine and is the current president of the Society for Integrative Medicine which was formed in 2006.

Having explored the potential benefits offered by the complementary health practices, Dr. Yong focused his attention on the detoxification and cleansing process, a series of health measures necessary to improve bodily functions, reset systems, and maintain excellent health.

The procedure of colonic irrigation (Colon Hydrotherapy or Colonics) he offers at his clinic is a pillar of the detoxification process.

Anyone who wants to undergo a life-changing detoxification plan will be able to obtain full benefits and jumpstart their results by starting with Colon Hydrotherapy - and that is not just based on facts, but on personal experiences as well.

The procedure also allows for the assessment of the functional status of the bowel and provide a more objective means of addressing bowel-related problems such as constipation, indigestion, bloating, gas distension, heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome.

Besides colon hydrotherapy services, Dr. Yong offers holistic health counselling, giving advice on dietary habits, lifestyle changes and other complementary health measures to manage health issues.

He believes these are important steps to consider to maintain health and well-being besides the standard approach of health screening and treatment to reduce risk factors which he also offers in his clinic.

Dr. Yong is also available for house calls. This is especially useful for elderly patients who have problems of mobility or health issues that require regular follow-up and supervision at home.

Dr. Yong's approach to the management of clients is to blend evidence-based medicine with the well established alternative health practices. To enjoy healthy and graceful aging, he believes in the need to adopt preventive health measures to maintain bodily functions and avoid disease.

Dr. Yong has been offering colon hydrotherapy and improving overall health in his practice for the past 15 years. Until today, he personally carries out the procedure on all clients.

Anyone prepared to embark on a healthy lifestyle and wellness regime should start off with one of his brilliant programmes which can undo years and years of damage, poor dietary patterns, pain and suffering.
