Have you ever considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? We shower, brush our teeth and wash our hair on a daily basis, but we tend to ignore cleansing our insides until some form of disease sends us a wake-up call. Believe it or not, our insides, especially the colon which functions as the sewer system of our body, also requires regular cleaning. Constipation, parasites, IBS, gas, bloating, stomach pain, chronic fatigue, digestive problems can all be signs of a toxic colon. Don’t be a victim, suffering silently from these painful and often embarrassing health conditions. Find out the truth about colon cleansing and how it can help you.
Why Is Colon Cleansing So Crucial? We are all exposed to thousands of toxins and chemicals on a daily basis at work, in the home, through the air we breathe, our food and water supply, and through the use of pharmaceutical drugs. In addition, we are eating more sugar and processed foods than ever before in human history and regularly abuse our bodies with various stimulants and sedatives.
“Death Begins in the Colon”
These toxins and dead foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy. These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience… they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease.
Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one’s intestines is probably at the bottom of most people’s lists. Let’s face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don’t believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material. “Vegetarian Times, March, 1998″
“Parasites May Rule the World”
This waste material is home to, in the words of National Geographic, “a sinister world of monstrous creatures that feed on living flesh: parasites. Discover magazine published a feature article in its August 2000 issue: “Every living thing has at least one parasite that lives inside or on it, and many, including humans, have far more. Scientists are only just beginning to discover exactly how powerful these hidden inhabitants can be, but their research is pointing to a remarkable possibility: Parasites may rule the world. The notion that tiny creatures we’ve largely taken for granted are such a dominant force is immensely disturbing. We are collections of cells that work together, kept harmonized by chemical signals. If an organism can control those signals (an organism like a parasite) then it can control us. And therein lies the peculiar and precise horror of parasites.”
The combination of environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet and parasites poses a grave danger to humans. “In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history”, reported National Geographic in its award-winning documentary, The Body Snatchers.
Why Is Constipation So Unhealthy?
Many people are constipated and don’t even know it. They become so accustomed to feeling tired, bloated, irritated, overweight, etc., that they don’t suspect that their health is in danger. Or they may be on medications to cover up such symptoms, never seeking the underlying cause. If the problem of constipation is not addressed in time, it can slowly destroy a healthy body. As one of America’s foremost pioneering nutritionists, Dr. Bernard Jensen, author of numerous best-selling health books, put it: “The fact of the matter is that constipation is the number one affliction underlying nearly every ailment; it can be imputed to be the initial, primary cause of nearly every disturbance of the human system.”
Do You Need Internal Cleansing? How do you know when it’s time to free your body of accumulated toxins, parasites and other waste material? Colon cleansing/detoxification can be beneficial for those with one or more of the following conditions:
Serious Trouble Waiting to Happen:
Many conventional doctors are under the misconception that having a bowel movement every two or three days is sufficient and even “normal” for some. This is a dangerous fallacy! A person with a healthy colon should in fact have two to three bowel movements per day, or one for each meal eaten. Elimination should be complete, fast and easy. The stool should be light brown in color, long and large in diameter, “fluffy” in texture and floating on top of the water. There should be no offensive odor and it should break apart with the toilet flushing. Going to the bathroom once every few days, sitting there straining for half-an-hour and passing black, hard “pebbles” that drop to the bottom is not only abnormal, it is also serious trouble waiting to happen. If you’re not eliminating approximately the same amount that you are eating, then what do you think happens to the remainder? The accumulation of old hardened feces sticks to the colon walls, inhibiting its proper function of absorbing the remaining nutrients from the fecal matter. Instead it is forced to absorb toxins from the build-up and from the parasites that make this debris their breeding ground. The passage through which the feces are forced to travel is also greatly reduced in diameter so the stools become much narrower, even as thin as a pencil sometimes.
The colon is the sewer of your body. If it’s not cleansed, the waste throughout the body can’t get out. According to some estimates, about 70 million Americans suffer from bowel problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to cause them to consult a medical doctor. People who aren’t even aware that they have a bowel problem are often in the worst condition. When the colon is healthy, a person will have two or more well-formed bowel movements a day. Every morning, they’ll have a huge movement which should altogether be from 2 to 4 feet long. Later on in the day they’ll have another movement, which will be about half the size of the first. These stools should be expelled effortlessly–within seconds after they sit down. If you have to strain or if you have to read a magazine while you wait for a movement, then you are constipated. Another indication of poor bowel function is if your stools are small and narrow, or if they are short or hard. You shouldn’t see any mucus, half-digested food, or blood.
Bowel problems can cause nutritional deficiency, regardless of how good your diet is or how many vitamins you take. A poor diet creates sticky fecal matter. When there is not proper elimination, deposits of fecal matter build up along the wall of the colon or in the pockets of the colon. That’s why even a mild case of constipation is a serious problem. Normally, the body pushes wastes out of your colon in eighteen to twenty-four hours. However, when you’re not eliminating properly, these wastes may not leave for days. Usually the material deposits along your colon walls, it may not leave for months or years. These deposits of fecal matter in the colon get irritated. This may lead to a spastic or inflamed colon, conditions that interfere even more with nutrient absorption and also with proper bowel function. The feces that remain in one’s system begin to decay, releasing toxins and poisonous gases that seep out into the blood and poison all the organs and tissues. The blood stream itself gets polluted, preventing it from removing the cells’ wastes. So the whole system is poisoned by wastes.
Some holistic practitioners feel that there is really only one disease –auto-intoxication and malnutrition!
When the body is deficient, it gets toxic, from fermentation of undigested food.
When the body is toxic, the cells cannot receive nutrients from the blood because the fluid surrounding the cells is plugged-up with wastes. This internal poisoning also causes mental depression and morbid thoughts. It’s a vicious cycle–one condition feeding the other like a dog chasing its tail. Most people, instead of cleaning out their colons use incense, air fresheners, underarm deodorants, foot powder, mouthwash, toothpaste, breath fresheners, perfumed sprays and colognes to cover up their body odor because they are filled with impacted fecal matter. If the colon doesn’t get cleansed, the other organs can’t cleanse their waste. If a person can’t get the bowels cleaned out, even if they clean the plaque out of the arteries–it’s going to go back into the body. They’ll just re-absorb it. Unless they clean out the colon, they will never regain vibrant health.
There are several causes of bowel malfunction. If enough water isn’t consumed, the stools will be too dry. The same thing happens if the urge to go is ignored. The longer the stools remain in the colon, the drier they get, because the body extracts moisture from them. So the stools are difficult to expel and constipation results. Lack of physical exercise is another cause of poor bowel function. As with other muscles, the bowels benefit when exercise is taken regularly. A sedentary person’s bowels become weak and can’t do their job of propelling the wastes out of their body. But these are all relatively minor causes of poor bowel function. The main cause is simply malnutrition. Most people don’t eat enough nourishing food to supply the muscles and tissues of the bowel with needed nutrients. The bowel begins to deteriorate and lose its muscle tone. Besides weakening the bowel, poor diet also causes hard stools. For example, if refined sugar and flour are eaten, these will dry up the feces. Moreover, if the diet lacks roughage, there’s not enough bulk to push wastes through the colon. Even though diet is a major cause of sluggish bowels, the answer in NOT simply to eat better food. Many people who have switched to a natural raw food, properly combined diet, still are constipated. One reason is that a person who has eaten poorly over a period of time has usually damaged the colon–then it’s too late for diet alone to do the trick. Another reason is that fecal deposits may have become so hardened and thickened that diet alone won’t get rid of them.
The body’s tissues won’t eliminate wastes unless the colon is working. The bodily systems are connected. When the colon is cleaned out, the body will start pulling poisons out from everywhere, because it can! Wastes from the colon can leak out and pollute other organs. Other organs can be treated with natural methods–with only partial results–because these organs keep getting re-infected or re-irritated by poisons from the colon. The impacted colon creates diverticulosis which are herniations or pockets in the wall of the colon that contain fecal matter. If it stays in there long enough, it will leak into your body and cause what is called auto-intoxication. These diverticula cannot usually be detected inside the colon with colonoscopy, but on the outside of the colon where you can’t see. The bowel pockets leak pus, toxins, and fecal matter back into the bloodstream.
Diverticulitis, an inflammed diverticula, is becoming more common, because people’s diets have gotten worse. It is estimated from autopsy studies that 30% of all adults have diverticular disease and over 50% of those over 40 years old. Diverticulitis is associated with a heavy meat diet and processed foods. Before the 1920’s, this disease was almost unknown. It is a 20th century disease, as is heart disease, cancer, and most of the degenerated conditions that people create. It takes many years of bad habits to weaken the bowel enough to form diverticula. It is rare in parts of the world where dietary fiber intake is high (vegetarian).
Diets low in fiber result in small stools that require high pressures for their movement in the colon. This high pressure leads to herniation or protrusion of the mucous membrane through the weak and toxic points in the colon’s muscles at the sites where blood vessels enter the colon wall. Diverticula are common in the small intestine as well as the colon. Diverticula in the middle small intestine are usually asymptomatic, yet, may contribute to malabsorption of Vitamin B12. Often these diverticula protrusions are at the entryway of blood vessels, allowing toxic waste to enter the bloodstream. Fecal obstructions can cause appendicitis. The fecal matter obstructs the opening of the appendix, preventing the fluid from being released and gets inflamed. Parasites are created by nature to consume this filthy condition but they consume the body’s nutrition and also excrete toxic poisons that add to the body’s toxic burden. Leg ulcers will never heal until you cleanse the colon. We create them as a “second rectum” which leaks wastes out of a clogged-up body. When the body can’t eliminate through the normal channels, it will expel the toxins anywhere. If the bowel is cleansed and then the ulcer is treated, it goes away. Tumors can be the body’s way of trying to dispose of wastes. Sometimes these external cancer tumors have little holes in the outside, where they leak pus and blood. Sometimes the skin turns red and darker in color, and then splits open and drains.
Diarrhea and constipation are caused by the same fecal encrustations and toxemia. Diarrhea is the body’s defense against its own poisons. The body dehydrates itself, flushing water into the colon to wash out the wastes. If the colon is clean, there is no reason for the body to do this. Colon cleansing stops chronic diarrhea and colitis. If diarrhea isn’t chronic, but is related to irritating food you’ve eaten, you can use the intestinal bulking/absorptive substances with water. These can contain psyllium seed husks, flax and borage seed fiber, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, apple pectin, slippery elm, and guar gum. Do this three to five times a day at intervals of 1 - 8 hours. Usually your diarrhea will soon stop. If it doesn’t stop within five hours, increase the dosage until the stool solidifies. People with irritable bowel syndrome can get relief with these same types of substances.
The human body is designed to function in an alkaline medium. That is, every cell has to retain sufficient ability to buffer the acids which are being produced continually as a result of metabolism (the burning up of oxygen and glucose to produce energy). These so-called buffering agents contain certain minerals, and if the diet is lacking sufficient amounts of them, it will draw on its “mineral bank account”, which are the minerals stored in the liver, the gall bladder, muscle tissue and bone. Should this continue over a long enough period it can ultimately lead to cellular malfunction within one or more organs resulting in cancer and numerous other diseases. I have seen more times than not that a client is very acidic and desparately needs to alkalize the body. Only ill health can result from acid. Healing and good health takes place in an alkaline terrain in the body.
