Don't Mention This At Dinner
Here is an unpleasant, hardly discussed but universal
experience for the reader to contemplate: we each carry
around several pounds of aging feces and mucus in our
digestive tract. We all carry this obnoxious load. The
evidence is in the distended bellies we see all around us
in the streets, malls or workplace. Every man, woman and
child who is not eating a perfect diet is affected yet
almost none knows it. How can this be?
We have this waste because we:
* Do not chew our food enough so it can pass through easily
* Eat too much refined, processed, low-fiber food - fiber
absorbs water and makes our stools softer and bulkier,
reduces pressure in the rectum and makes them easier to
expel
* Do not drink enough water and other fluids: the feces
becomes harder and more difficult to expel, we suffer from
constipation and retention of old feces in the large
intestine
* Do not exercise enough - exercise stimulates the
digestive system. When I first started weight-lifting in my
late thirties, I had to run to the bathroom after the first
five minutes of each session to clear out my bowels.
In short, our diet and lifestyle are blocking us up.
If we do not expel feces from the rectum, the feces return
to the colon where water is absorbed through the lining,
making the feces progressively harder and even more
difficult to expel. Some are never expelled unless we use
colon hydrotherapy or some other intervention to cleanse
the colon.
This is a problem, a big problem, because hardened feces
make it harder for the body to eliminate toxins.
Toxins are microbial and man-made chemicals that poison the
cells in our bodies.
External toxins, either chemical or microbial, enter the
body through food, water, air, or physical contact with the
skin or mucous membranes.
Internal toxins are the result of normal metabolic
processes and decomposition of foods in the small and large
intestines. Chronic constipation also breeds bacterial
toxins and yeast overgrowth.
The kidneys, liver, lungs, skin and the colon are the
organs that eliminate toxins through exhalation,
perspiration, urine and feces. White blood cells of the
immune system also neutralize microbial toxins. The liver
breaks toxins into harmless byproducts, which the body
eliminates through the kidneys into the urine or in our
feces. So feces are a major vehicle for expelling toxins.
Impacted feces in our large intestine stop the body from
cleansing itself and cause toxins to build up. Finally,
when the quantity of toxins overwhelm our ability to remove
them, they move into cells and tissues.
The body produces inflammation in areas of the toxin
accumulation in an effort to rid itself of the problem.
Before I underwent colon hydrotherapy, I experienced cloudy
thinking, felt ill and had eczema and sores on my legs.
These areas of inflammation are actually signals that the
body cannot rid itself of the accumulating toxins.
If the toxins remain, the body eventually deposits them in
areas where they will do as little harm as possible under
the circumstances. These areas are usually fat cells,
cysts, polyps or tumors. After years of storage, in the
opinion of some, toxins ultimately trigger degenerative
diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and heart
disease.
To the extent that the body is unable to eliminate toxins,
they stay in our organs and bloodstream. To make it worse,
toxins in the impacted feces reenter our bodies through the
walls of the large intestines and add to the accumulation.
This is autotoxification (self-poisoning). Impacted feces
have other unpleasant effects.
The impacted feces take up space. The bulk of the
unexpelled feces explains, to my mind at least, why so many
people have pot bellies. I notice that my stomach is
smaller after a session of colon hydrotherapy.
The bulk may also physically prevent absorption of
nutrients in the intestine. I have noticed that
supplements seem to be more effective after several
sessions of colon hydrotherapy.
Your body cannot expel all the waste by itself, but you can
wash it out with some help from technology. Colon
hydrotherapy is a major method of detoxification.
Cleaning out your intestines is one of the most effective
measures you can take to improve your health and life. If
you believe that, left to itself, and given the right
nutrients and cleansing, the body is its own best doctor
and can heal itself, then colon hydrotherapy is the fastest
and most effective way to help it do just that.
The benefits I have personally noticed are:
* Reduced skin rashes
* Better absorption of nutrients
* More energy - feeling of lightness
* Ability to think more clearly
* Shrinking belly
My therapist told me that she has had patients with a whole
variety of health issues such as backache, headache and
fatigue. Colon hydrotherapy has helped many of them
because it has allowed the body to cleanse itself as it is
meant to.
It is actually a benefit for any adult, regardless of age.
Some athletes have it done to give them a performance edge.
I even read that Princess Diana had it done. To not have
it done and maintain an otherwise healthy lifestyle by
exercise and nutrition is rather like changing the spark
plugs and wires, the coolant and the transmission fluid on
your car, but not changing the oil. It is an essential part
of maintenance.
It is a life-transforming procedure that is barely known
because it has been side-lined for a number of reasons.
These reasons may form the subject of another article one
day.

I also believe that your health and fitness is a statement
- how you perceive yourself and how you want others to
perceive you. My site summarizes what I have learned. For
