COLON DETOXIFICIATION

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins and excess mucus from the body. These toxins come from our diet, drugs, and the environment.  Poor digestion, colon sluggishness, a compromised liver and kidney elimination = toxicity.  Detoxification involves dietary/lifestyle changes which reduce toxins and improve elimination. Avoid chemicals form refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs to minimize the toxin load. When detoxifying your colon, it’s important to incorporate probiotics in your diet to replenish the good intestinal flora. 

Colon cleansing- Bowel movements are the basis of your health. If you don't  have at least 1 bowel movement per day (preferably 2-3), you are on your  way toward disease.  All refined sugar, white flour, hormone/antibiotic filled meats and chemicals that we ingest, cause an assault on our bodies.  It’s no wonder that colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.                                                                          

All toxins must be removed, and it must begin with cleansing the bowel.  A constipated system caused slow transition time of toxic wastes. The longer the "transit time," the longer toxic waste is in our bowel, allowing them to putrefy, ferment and be reabsorbed. The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the  risk of disease. Remember this: .......ALL DISEASE begins with a toxic bowel.

Colon Cleansing Program - Removes the Mucoid Plaque From the Colon. Even a thin layer of mucoid plaque weakens the body. Nature intended mucoid plaque to be sloughed off. But due to stress and diet, most Americans have many hardened layers of mucoid plaque. The healthy colon weighs about 4 pounds. Some people are carrying around as much as 40 pounds of impacted mucoid plaque!  A colon cleanse and detoxification program prepares your body for optimal health by removing mucoid plaque.  Doing Colonics is also highly recommended (see Alan‘s ad below).  Begin transitioning to a diet rich in raw fruits and vegetables with very few cooked or processed foods to help keep your digestive system free of mucoid plaque. Regular/easy elimination will be the rule, toxins will not build up and foods will be fully digested and utilized. This optimum nutrition allows rejuvenation and peak vitality. Of course it was a process of years or decades to get the body so full of plaque and toxins, so it will be a process (although faster) to detoxify and get your body pure and back to its highest possible state of health. "Intestinal Cleanse" is a term referring to a procedure, which has as its main goal- a clean bowel. A real "bowel cleanse" takes from 3 to 4 weeks up to a year, depending on the person.  But don't get discouraged, it's worth the time and effort to do this.

There are many products on the market with names like "colon cleanse" or "bowel cleanse". BUT! A real "intestinal cleanse" does not result just from using a single product.  Rather, it’s a procedure, which may include use of many different products, a few days or weeks of FASTING, lots of distilled water and a change in basic eating habits-lifestyle for most people.  A good intestinal detox will include a parasite cleanse and many relaxing detox baths.  

Detoxing may just be the best thing you’ve ever done for yourself!
