Why Should I Cleanse?

Millions of us suffer from disease, sickness and pain because we simply don’t know this truth about our own health: our bodies are not properly eliminating poisons and environmental toxins. The colon’s job is to hold waste before it is evacuated from the body and to reabsorb water from the waste. Years of poor eating habits, low-fiber diets, sedentary living and other lifestyle choices can slow the digestive processes. If waste sits in the colon too long, toxins build up there and are eventually absorbed back into the body.
A toxic colon eventually leads to a toxic liver, which pollutes the tissues  and the bloodstream, making a person very sick.

These are some of the many types of problems that toxicity in the body can cause. Thee are many poisons which can be found in a toxic colon and in  many cases, these toxins can seep out of the colon and poison the rest of the  body through the bloodstream which nourishes all organs.

Here’s a list of some poisons found in a toxic colon:
Phenol, Cadaverin, Agamatine, Indol, Sulphurretted Hydrogen, Cresol, Butyric Acid, Botulin, Putrescin, Urrobilin, Histidine, Ammonia, Muscarine, Methylmercaptan, Indican, Methygandinine, Idoethylamine, Sulpherroglobine, Ptomarropine, Pentamethy Lendiamine, Neurin, Sepsin

Poisons from the colon can:
- Weaken and stress the heart
- Go to the skin and cause blemishes, paleness, psoriasis, liver spots, wrinkles
- Irritate the lungs and cause foul breath
- Go to the brain and disturb mental function
- Go to the joints and cause pain and stiffness
- Go to the muscles and cause weakness and terrible fatigue
- Rob you of your youth and ruin your health

Reasons to keep the colon clean:
- Prevents constipation and disease of the colon
- Eliminates waste such as fatty tissue, cholesterol, cellulite, toxins, mucus, hardened fecal matter, harmful drug residue
- Controls your weight
- Increases your energy level
- For the glow of health inside and out that shows with clear skin, bright eyes, and shiny hair
- Helps deal with our Polluted Environment

We live in an environment of polluted air, water and soil; a surrounding full of chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, additives and other potential toxins. Ideally these toxins are processed by the liver, dumped into the large intestine (or colon) and eliminated from the body. But when this process malfunctions, serious problems arise that no simple laxative can cure.

Autointoxication

Autointoxication is defined as a state of being poisoned by toxic  substances produced within the body. So, the second reason for concern about colon health involves auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning. When the digestive system doesn’t work properly, auto-intoxication may set in. This happens  when food begins to break down without being eliminated. Proteins putrefy and
rot, carbohydrates ferment, and oils and fats turn rancid. The body becomes poisoned from its own waste.

Doctors Promote Cleansing

“If the colon is not working properly, toxins must exit the body through other routes: the kidneys, the skin, the breath. Many of these patients  have bad halitosis, body odor, etc. When a person becomes ill from colon disease, he or she may develop a variety of symptoms, including headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, cancer or cardiovascular diseases.” William L. Cowden, M.D., internist, classical specialist in internal medicine and cardiology
“I like to think of colon cleanses as whole-body cleanses. Cleansing the colon helps virtually every tissue and cell in the human body. Laxative  herbs are important, and they are the major component of many cleanses. Many cleanses contain too much of strong laxative herbs, which results in cramps. Consequently, people won’t use the cleanse. I think it’s better to use a combination of well-proven herbs that can balance each other and provide a more desirable product.” Alvin B. Segelman, Ph.D., CNS, pharmacognosist
“The body is designed to move the bowels every time we eat. It’s called the gastro-colic reflex. After we eat, the stomach gets the signal that it’s distended, and it sends a nervous energy to our colon telling it to make room. But in western civilization we live on tight schedules. And it’s a little inconvenient to get a call of nature right after lunch when you’re supposed to be back at work. So we have taught our bodies not to do that. When food becomes backed up in the colon, serious problems can develop.” Marvin D. Berman, gastrointerologist, former assistant professor of  medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Diet during the cleanse: No red meat, alcohol, sugar, caffeine, fried food or fast food, no artificial sweetners (stevia is okay). NSP stevia now comes in packets just like the “pink and blue stuff” stock #1381-6).  Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, fish and turkey, whole grains, rice, beans, eggs are okay too if you like them.  Drink lots of water.  A good rule of thumb is 1/2 of your body weight in ounces of water.

Autointoxication—A New Angle on Cleansing

Manager Extra  by David Skousen
“Have you ever heard someone say, ‘I feel toxic?’ It’s an old expression and a true one because the person is toxic or poisoned from his or her own body waste.” So say Jennifer Weiss and Vena Burnett in their book, Colon Cleansing—The Best-kept Secret!

The human body is resilient, and it possesses many protective mechanisms that automatically spring into action against poisons in the body. But the constant onslaught of toxic waste can overwhelm even the strongest body.

The Source of Toxins
We all know environmental toxins such as heavy metals and caustic air pollutants surround us. Some of these also pollute our food in the form of pesticides, herbicides and additives. Most people do not realize that in addition to these threats, everyone has the potential of generating his own toxins from natural biological processes. In fact, even the most highly nutritious food must be digested properly or the body may become autointoxicated (self-poisoned). When toxins get into the blood, doctors called this toxemia.

autointoxication  \o-to-in-täk-se-‘ka-shen\ n : a state of being poisoned by toxic substances produced within the body.

Toxins Can Take You Down
The digestive system acts as a miniature chemical factory, extracting nutrients from food. Nutrients are inspected by the liver before being allowed into the bloodstream. Ideally, the liver will also neutralize toxins eaten inadvertently. Thereafter, each cell can easily and safely absorb what it needs.

Several digestive compounds (saliva, enzymes, secretions) work in stages to efficiently break down food particles. But when these digestive elements are in short supply, they cannot properly process a meal, and even the best entrees can ferment and putrefy.

Improperly digested food or backed-up colon waste will continue to break down by means of billions of bacteria waiting to feed on toxic waste. This process creates potent chemicals that irritate the colon and, even worse, enter the bloodstream where they become a hazard to every cell in the body.

To defend itself, the body’s immune system quickly attempts to neutralize these toxic compounds. Other body systems become alert to the danger, adding stress to the kidneys, liver and the lymph system. In some cases, the body may generate a fever, perspiration, vomiting or diarrhea to rid itself of a meal gone bad.

If these toxins are not properly removed, they can wear down the body over time, causing immunity to drop. Various symptoms of toxic overload may appear, including:

· Allergies
· Arthritis
· Asthma
· Bad breath
· Constipation
· Depression
· Fatigue
· Headaches
· Hemorrhoids
· High blood pressure
· Indigestion
· Insomnia
· Nervousness
· Obesity
· Parasites
· Prostate problems
· Rash
· Sinus congestion
· Skin problems
· Varicose veins

Avoiding Autointoxication
Autointoxication due to improper digestion may be safely diffused by making simple changes.
1. Improve your diet to strengthen all of the body’s systems.
2. Reduce stress.
3. Cleanse the intestinal system gently but thoroughly.
4. Rebuild digestive strength with natural supplements to help the body process food more thoroughly.
5. Increase your intake of pure water to help dissolve and flush out toxins.

A recent study carried out at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash., revealed that women who drink at least five glasses of water daily were able to lower their risk of colon cancer by 45 percent!

Following this outline can strengthen every cell and benefit the immune, lymph, respiratory and other body systems.

Give Yourself a CleanStart
In addition to improving your lifestyle and eating better, try using the convenient, effective 14-day CleanStart program to safely clear out toxic waste buildup. This remarkable program has already helped thousands to feel the relief of purging hidden colon waste, the seedbed of disease.
