Why Cleanse the Colon?

A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your colon, the last portion of your food processing chain. If you attempt to clean your liver, blood, or lymph system without first addressing a waste filled colon, the excreted toxins may be recycled back into your body.

One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation. Constipation is generally attributed to a low fiber diet and lack of sufficient water, which can cause our fecal matter to become condensed and compressed.

A constipated system is one in which the transition, or "transit time", of toxic wastes is slow and the consistency of the stool can cause strain (which over time may cause hemorrhoids, varicose veins, hiatal hernia, or other mechanically induced problems). The longer the transit time, the longer the toxic waste matter sits in our bowel which allows proteins to putrefy, fats to rancify, and carbohydrates to ferment.

The person on a typical Western Diet holds 8 meals of undigested food and waste material in the colon, while the person on the high fiber diet holds only 3.

The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have at least three meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon at all times. On top of all this, your system can also become continuously self-polluting by the poisonous gases that are caused by this stagnation in your bowel. These poisonous gases can enter your bloodstream, irritating your organs and joints.

Alternating between constipation and diarrhea, or diarrhea alone, are also indications of foul matter in your intestines. And finally, the much more serious problems of cancer and immune system dysfunctions begin with a toxic bowel.

The long held belief of some health professionals is that many people just have fewer bowel movements than others. This is true, but they also neglected to inform these individuals that those having fewer bowel movements are harboring a fertile breeding ground for serious diseases and possibly death. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of time are very hazardous to your health.

Once we truly understand the "single greatest challenge our body faces is the effective removal of wastes and toxins ", we will never again undermine the importance of frequent, high quality, bowel movements.

As the colon becomes impacted with dry putrefactive waste, its shape and function are affected in numerous ways. It may stretch like a balloon in certain areas, or develop diverticula (pouches on the intestinal wall which may become infected), or fall down upon itself (prolapsed colon). All of these colon malformations greatly impair your large intestine's ability to function, which in turn places severe strain on your digestive organs and glands and affects nutrient assimilation and absorption. The colon is the body's "sewer system", and if not treated properly can accumulate toxic poisons, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. This in turn can cause many diseases.

Important Facts About the Colon

• Lack of fiber and water in the diet is the main cause of intestinal disorders
• The small intestines is where most nutrition is absorbed
• Stress can affect nutrient absorption and cause irritation of the small intestine
• The large intestine absorbs minerals and water
• When the membrane of the large colon is unhealthy (impacted), it cannot assimilate and absorb minerals and vitamins and creates deficiency diseases (no matter how many supplements we take)
• The health of the entire body is maintained when the intestinal system is working properly

How Do I Cleanse and Detoxify My Body?

Any program designed to cleanse and detoxify the colon needs to address several key areas. The program must:

• Help bring the colon back to life by stimulating the muscle movement of the colon.
• Encourage matter to move forward through the system.
• Halt putrefaction.
• Draw old fecal matter off the walls of the colon and out of any bowel pockets.
• Disinfect.
• Draw out poisons and toxins.
• Help leach out heavy metals such as Strontium 90.
• Soothe and promote the healing of the mucous membrane lining of the entire digestive tract.
• Help stimulate the body to begin the healing and repair of herniated areas.
• Increase the flow of bile to help clean the gall bladder, bile ducts and liver.
• Promote healthy intestinal flora.
• Destroy and expel parasites.
• Destroy Candida Albicans overgrowth.
• Maintain regularity.
• Decrease straining.
• Speed up the transit time of feces through the large intestine.
