Keeping Your Colon Healthy!
A healthy colon is vital to a healthy body. It is by no means
the only step, as some would have you believe, but nevertheless
essential to regaining optimum health.
OK, to many this may seem a revolting topic and could well be
the reason most people do little or nothing about maintaining a
healthy colon. However, no one who eats a "modern" diet can
escape the formation of caked deposits on the lining of the
colon, which inevitably interferes with its normal function.
One example of our modern diet is the consumption of white
bread, which contains little or no fibre and has large amounts
of gluten, which is a very sticky wheat protein. Our digestive
system simply was not designed to handle this garbage and is
constantly under strain to expel it from the body. In many cases
this "gunk" ends up blocking or sticking to the colon wall.
White bread is but one example of the junk most people consume
these days.
Most people would be amazed at what actually comes out of an
average "healthy" person during a colonic. Quite often there are
rock hard discs, dark lumpy strings, sheets or flakes of brown
mucous and last but not least the occasional tape worm. All of
which are disgusting to look at (not to mention the smell!). It
is not surprising why people shy away from discussing the
subject or decide to have colonic treatment. However, if the
average person is carrying around all this toxic sludge how can
they possibly have a healthy body? This unwanted build-up within
the colon interferes with peristalsis (the rippling motion of
the colon) and can be a primary cause of constipation.
When large amounts of the colon's surface become coated with
impermeable dried fecal matter or lumps of mucous three things
happen:
1) Delays in expelling fecal matter increase the amount of
toxins absorbed into the body.
2) The absorption of nutrients that the body needs is severely
interfered with.
3) Water within the intestine should be filtered back into the
blood stream. However, if the lining of the intestine is caked,
this water cannot be absorbed and can lead to dehydration.
There are two types of colon cleansing, enemas and colonic.
Enemas are self administered, whereas a colonic is generally
carried out at a clinic. A colonic achieves more in less time
with up to 50 gallons of water being flushed through the
intestine. A colonic machine can administer the equivalent of
six enemas in less than one hour.
If you are considering a colonic it is best to do your homework
first. Find out the technicians credentials and, if possible,
speak to someone who has actually used the service.
