A clean healthy colon is vital for a healthy life. Colon cleansing is about good health.

The Truth About Colon Cleansing
By: Bobbie Grennier, master herbalist 

Do your research and you'll find all sorts of conflicting articles on what makes a healthy colon. You'll find a few websites that spreads uneducated negative thought about the need for colon cleansing, and you'll find they're sponsored by Joe Nobody. We'd have to advise you to ignore those "quaks" and listen instead to the real medical world.

There are real reasons why the health care industry supports the idea of a clean and healthy bowel, although there are a variety of ways to achieve it.

I'd recommend the one that's the safest and easiest to accomplish. I recommend using the colon cleanse that's only 5 days long instead of months and months. Use a colon cleansing product that's 100% natural and made by a company that uses 100% USA herbs and is 100% made in America. And more importantly, use the product that the leading master herbalists in the USA all recommend. The best one is called "Colon Cleansing Kit" and you can visit my websites to find out more information.

The Colon Cleansing Kit

The colon cleanse use is produced by Master Herbalist Martha Volchok. When Martha started to put together her Internal Cleansing program, to her, this was the ultimate formula. It was a chance for her to put everything she has ever done into one product.

All the formulas balance each other and there are herbs to make it as smooth as possible. Martha spent eight months formulating the Internal Cleansing Kit. Eight months of constantly pondering and feeling: twelve formulas, over a hundred herbs, dosages, and the effect of each herb on someone's body.

She drew from her experiences and the experience of others. Every resource she had available to her she pulled from, used as food for her intuition. As building blocks to create one master program.

It was designed to show you your own body. To allow you to feel your self, knowing that for some of us ... this will be a first time doing a colon cleansing. For others it will be a re-birth, and for still others it will simply serve as a source of strength and inspiration to find themselves and their health. Martha gave all of herself to this kit. If you knew her at all, you'd know what this meant.

Martha has an incredible innate sensitivity that permeates all she does. It allows her, I should say forces her, to feel the pain of any person she is around or of anyone who asks her for herbal help. It is this sensitivity coupled with an equally incredible appreciation for pain, that allows her to intuitively create a formula.

Her appreciation for pain comes from a life that has been filled with numerous aliments and conditions. At age twelve she was run over by a horse and underwent operations for torn and lacerated liver and intestines. She has given birth to four children: one birthing broke her tailbone, and two led to uterine infections. At age 35 she suffered from extreme digestive pain and used raw food liquids and wheatgrass therapy for a year before recovering. In the last ten years she has been naturally cured of two life threatening diseases: Sarcoidosis in her lungs and, most recently, T-cell lymphoma in her blood.

She is also extremely sensitive to artificial substances and modern medicine usually makes her sicker. In fact, she has had several root canals without novocaine or pain killers because of this sensitivity!

She also knows what relief feels like and when she begins to make a formulas it is for this relief that she searches. Over the years she has created formulas for herself, her family, friends, workers, and complete strangers. Her formulas are always made for a real person, with a real discomfort.

Martha put herself into the "Colon Cleansing Kit" ... she tested it herself, and I've tested it too. It's a simple, safe and healthy thing you can do for your own colon health in only five days. Like I said, there's absolutely no reason to do any colon cleanse that's longer than five to ten days.

Happy colon health to you, and please visit my websites to learn more about colon detoxification cleansing.

Fibre And Weight Loss: How Closely Are They Connected?
The incidences of deseases like obesity, diabetes, colon diseases etc. are minimal in countries where the population has a regular dose of fiber in their diet.

Fiber is very important link in the weight loss puzzle. Fiber cannot be digested by the human digestive system and it passes out from the colons taking all the waste material with it.

Fiber provides bulk and softens the stools therby helping in regular bowel movements and avoiding constipation. In the intestine, fiber produces a gel which binds the bile acids and this leads the lever to convert cholesterol into bile thereby reducing cholesterol levels.

Fiber makes people feel less hungry on account of its bulk and reduces appetite resulting in weightloss. It also helps the body in controlling blood sugar.

Ayurveda Medical Science recommends consumption of fibre rich vegetables in large quantities to get rid of all the toxins from your body. Removal of toxins automatically ensures removal of excess fat from your body.

There are two types of fibers found in foods:

Insoluble fiber :

Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve in water. This fiber increases the bulk of the food and helps in the fast passage of waste materials from the colons avoiding build up of toxins and therby deseases like colon cancer.

Soluble fiber :

This type of fiber forms a gel in the intestine and helps in reducing the cholesterol.

Your body needs a regular dosage of 30-40gms of fiber to keep in good health and lose those excess pounds.

Consuming the following foods will keep you in great shape and health:

High fiber foods:

Oat bran, Corn Bran, rice bran, wheat bran.

Medium fiber foods :

Whole grains, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat flour, oatmeal-rolled oats, steel cut oats, wheat-oat flour, corn meal, brown rice.

Low fiber foods to be avoided:

Refined foods like white flour(bleached or unbleached), pasta, cream of wheat, oat flour, corn starch, white rice.

One important aspect of fiber and weight loss is drinking lots of water.

Water makes the fiber swell and work better.

However, increase your consumption of fiber very gradually to avoid digestive discomfort.

The Key to Excellent Health: Cleansing the Colon
RICHARD ANDERSON, N.D., N.M.D.
http://www.curezone.com/cleanse/bowel/bowel_dr_anderson.html

Nothing has changed since Dr. John Harvey Kellogg said a century ago that “90% of diseases are due to improper functioning of the colon.

There is much talk today about the importance of colon cleansing, but how does having healthy intestines actually improve your health?


It has always been an axiom of naturopathic medicine and most forms of natural healing that the digestive system is the foundation for good or bad health. As naturopaths, we routinely assume that most people are constipated, no matter how many times a day they go.

In fact, nothing has changed since the great natural healer Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, founder of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, declared nearly a century ago that “90% of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioning of the colon.”

In 1987, I developed a four-phase, four-week colon cleansing protocol using herbs, electrolytes, probiotics, and nutrients. Since then, an estimated 70,000 people have done the self-care colon cleanse.

The benefits of cleansing are numerous. One user stated: “The main improvements I have noticed are energy levels, vision, hair, skin, mental attitude, ability to cope with stress situations—generally I’m a much happier and healthier person.”

Other benefits typically cited by users are cessation of menstrual pain, migraines, and joint pain, fewer colds, resolution of lifelong sinus congestion, skin problems, and breast cysts, weight loss, and improved concentration, among many others.


Consider the following cases from our patient files:

 

Lisa, 55, had suffered from a skin rash for 35 years. She had consulted numerous physicians but nothing had reversed this problem. When the intestines are clogged and toxic, and the liver, too, is overburdened, toxins start backing up into the skin for elimination from the body.

By the time Lisa completed the colon cleanse, 95% of her skin symptoms had disappeared. We find Lisa’s experience replicated often; cleansing the colon frequently yields softer, more beautiful skin, with long-standing blemishes removed permanently in many cases.

Traces of an earlier illness often remain in the intestines as potential seeds for a recurrence. During a cleanse, it is not unusual to reexperience the symptoms of the former illness as these traces are purged from the body.

Lil, 42, who suffered from chronic bronchitis, could not exercise or even walk up stairs without wheezing. During the cleanse, she had a ten-day fit of coughing and wheezing, then it abruptly stopped and never returned. By emptying her intestines of old, putrefied matter, Lil had purged her body of the seeds of her recurrent bronchitis.

Margot, 47, had been beset by intense hip pain for seven years, such that she needed a cane to walk. X rays showed that the cartilage was worn off the head of the femur (thigh bone connecting to the hip bone) and the nerves in that area were pinched. Margot had tried numerous alternative therapies but was still relatively crippled.

Margot reported that on the second day of the cleanse, 50% of her pain disappeared and she no longer needed her cane; on the third day, she was able to perform gentle stretching exercises; and over the next several months, Margot’s pain continued to diminish leading her to declare: “For the first time in seven years, I’m seeing the reversal of the downward spiral.”

What happens in a colon cleanse to produce these benefits?


Merely consider three facts about the intestines. First, if stretched out to their full length, the large and small intestines together would measure 25 feet long. Second, the total surface area in the intestines (made larger by myriad folds) capable of absorbing nutrients is the size of a tennis court.

Third, the intestines can store a vast amount of partially digested, putrefying matter (as well as drugs and other toxic chemicals)—for decades even. Some intestines, when autopsied, have weighed up to 40 pounds and were distended to a diameter of 12 inches with only a pencil-thin channel through which the feces could move.

That 40 pounds was due to caked layers of encrusted mucus mixed with fecal matter, bizarrely resembling hardened blackish-green truck tire rubber or an old piece of dried rawhide. I call this mucoid plaque. This mucoid plaque, when it is removed during an intensive colon cleanse, often shows ropelike twists, striations, overlaps, folds, creases—the shape and texture of the intestinal wall.

Mucoid plaque may vary considerably, depending on the chemical conditions in a person’s intestines. It may be hard and brittle; it may be firm and thick; tough, wet, and rubbery; soft, thick, and mucoid; or soft, transparent, and thin; it can range in color from light brown, black, or greenish-black to yellow or grey, and sometimes emits an intensely foul odor.

One client I know, in the course of a month-long colon cleanse, passed a single length of mucoid plaque 15 feet long; another client excreted a total of 11 pounds of mucoid plaque during a cleanse. It is not unusual to pass a total of 35 to 45 feet of plaque, often in the last week. In our clinical experience of monitoring thousands of intensive colon cleanse programs over the last 14 years, most people pass a staggering amount of this strange substance.

I coined the term mucoid plaque, meaning a film of mucus, to describe the unhealthy accumulation of abnormal mucous matter on the walls of the intestines. Conventional medicine knows this as a layering of mucin or glycoproteins (made up of 20

amino acids and 50% carbohydrates) which are naturally and appropriately secreted by intestines as protection from acids and toxins.

However, mucoid plaque is different from the mucosal lining (mucosa) of the gastrointestinal tract. The latter acts as a necessary buffer to the gastrointestinal wall and as a lubricant for peristalsis; it is also responsible for the secretion of mucins which comprise mucoid plaque. The cells of the outermost layer of the mucosa (the epithelium) stay fresh and vital, renewing themselves every four to seven days.

It sounds paradoxical, but medical research indicates that mucoid plaque is a normal self-defense measure—natural protection from unnatural toxins.

Evidence indicates that mucoid plaque, with the possible exception of that found in the stomach, is unnatural to the healthy body and is found only after the body has moved away from perfect health and into a diseased state. The theory goes that if you were completely healthy, your system would produce no mucoid plaque because it wouldn’t need to.

When the body has been chronically subjected to (or put under attack by) drugs (such as aspirin or alcohol), salt, heavy metals (including dental mercury), toxic chemicals, parasites, harmful microbes and their toxins, and circulating immune complexes (immune cells locked onto undigested particles or foreign substances in the bloodstream), it produces mucoid plaque to protect itself.

The trouble is once the mucoid plaque is created, for whatever biologically important reason, it is not routinely excreted from the intestines. Instead it lodges in the numerous folds and crevices of this large organ and can remain there for many years. Over time, the mucoid plaque grows thicker, firmer, and more widespread—colonizing, as it were, the tennis court–sized interior of the intestines. Old feces adhere to the plaque and are not removed during a normal bowel motion.

The plaque slows down intestinal action, both waste excretion and nutrient absorption. It can harbor pathogens, including bacteria and parasites, which actually hide underneath the plaque; it may block the normal outflow of lymph and mucin drainage. It binds toxins to itself and contributes to bowel toxicity, slowly emitting toxins into the bloodstream. Finally, plaque creates a friendly environment for disease, in some cases for colon cancer and gastric carcinomas.

Gradually your immune system is weakened as the chronically toxic bowel environment destroys useful bacteria. Your liver becomes overburdened by the unprocessed intestinal toxins, and nerve meridian points in the intestines related to hundreds of other parts of the body are compromised.

A toxic bowel results in toxic

blood and lymph, toxic organs and cells, and toxic function. The bowel “feeds” every organ, tissue, and cell in our bodies, so when the quality of feeding from the digestive system is contaminated or of poor quality, the cells and organs elsewhere in the body will be compromised and grow sluggish and inefficient.

So while mucoid plaque is “natural” in that the intestines produce it, it is most unnatural in that the presence of a large amount of it indicates a high degree of intestinal ill health. When the intestines are ill, you will be ill.

Here is a concise review of the essential elements you need:

Assess Your pH—This is a chemical measurement of your body’s acidity or alkalinity and, to a certain degree, your level of toxicity. The simplest way to assess your pH is by moistening a specially prepared (litmus) paper with your tongue; the color it turns correlates with pH values.

Reduce Your Eating—Generally, as you move further into the program you should eat less. This enables your body to focus on clearing out the toxins and old fecal matter without the distraction and energy output of digesting new foods. Each successive stage in the program involves stricter dietary controls and a higher intake of supplements and fresh juices with a correspondingly deeper cleansing.

Herbal Laxative—You need a formula to soften and break up toxic waste material while detoxifying cells. An herbal combination that works well for this (when mixed in the proper way) includes plantain, cascara sagrada, barberry, peppermint, sheep sorrel, fennel seed, ginger root, myrrh gum, red raspberry, rhubarb root, goldenseal, and lobelia. This herbal formula prepares the mucoid plaque for removal and neutralizes stored intestinal toxins such as pesticides, drugs, and heavy metals. It also helps cleanse the liver and other body tissues.

Herbal Nutrition—At the same time, you need to bolster your system’s ability to detoxify. An effective herbal formula for this works as a vitamin supplement and includes alfalfa, dandelion, shavegrass, chickweed, marshmallow root, yellowdock, rosehips, hawthorn, licorice root, Irish moss, kelp, and two digestive enzymes, amylase (digests carbohydrates) and cellulase (digests plant fiber).

Bentonite—Liquid clay derived from volcanic ash, bentonite taken orally is highly effective in absorbing toxins from the intestines and removing them from the body.

Psyllium Husk Powder—This fibrous bulking agent forms a gel when mixed with water. While the herbal laxative and nutritional formulas loosen the mucoid plaque, and bentonite pulls out and absorbs toxic debris, psyllium helps push the toxins and waste materials out of your body.

Probiotics—Your intestines need certain “friendly” bacteria (probiotics) to perform all of their functions, including the suppression and elimination of pathogenic microorganisms. Probiotics can also help restore alkalinity to an acidified intestinal tract thereby assuring that electrolytes will not be lost because of intestines overrun with acidic bacteria. A particularly helpful probiotic is Bifidobacterium infantis.

Electrolytes—Your body depends on the essential alkaline minerals potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium to remove toxic acids, maintain fluid balance in cells and the bloodstream, and control pH, hormone secretion, nerve conduction, and other functions. An effective way to deliver alkalinizing electrolytes is via dehydrated juice of beets, celery, and carrots, combined with goat milk whey concentrate, fig powder, and lecithin.

Antioxidants—As the intestines begin to purge themselves of old matter and mucoid plaque, large amounts of toxins and free radicals are released. It is prudent to take an antioxidant formula while doing the colon cleanse to help your system clean up these released toxins. Good antioxidants to include are milk thistle, curcumin (from turmeric), Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, pine bark extract, vitamins C, E, and B6, bioflavonoids, lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, zinc, and chromium.

Dietary Changes—First, I generally encourage people to not eat meat in order to reduce acid-forming dietary input. Second, I suggest people reduce grains, potatoes, yams, and sweet potatoes for 30 days after they have completed the colon cleanse. Third, I recommend a raw foods diet maintained whenever possible, ideally based on home-grown organic fruits and vegetables. A raw foods diet is rich in digestive enzymes and encourages the body to continue detoxifying.


Is there a connection between old emotions and colon cleansing?


Yes. You will find that in many cases a colon cleanse will purge old emotions and attitudes stored in the intestines.

Consider this case: Jessie, 20, was a vegan yet was bothered by digestive problems and candidiasis. Candidiasis, or the overgrowth of Candida albicans in the intestines, is a condition often reversed by an intense colon cleanse. During the first two weeks of the cleanse, Jessie began feeling better, but the turnaround came in week three. Jessie passed what looked like three white cotton balls (presumably Candida masses lodged in her colon), and thereafter had no more candidiasis symptoms.

In addition to her physical improvements, Jessie had an emotional benefit as well. She felt an increase in will power, a clarity in her feelings, a new desire to be of service to others, and a release of long-held resentments.

These points highlight an important aspect of colon cleansing. Many people, after completing a cleanse, feel energized, uplifted, and freed of old patterns, thoughts, feelings, and memories that have held them back. When a person is on a course of personal growth and wants to change their consciousness but is stuck in old negative patterns of thinking and feeling, there is nothing that will get them unstuck and change them faster than a colon cleanse.

In my observation of many individuals doing the colon cleanse, a negative state of consciousness is often, at an energy level, at the root of whatever physical problem they suffer from. Every thought or feeling we have has the potential of moving from the mind into the physical structure of the body where it can provoke illness. I estimate that about 70% of those doing the intensive colon cleanse will experience long-forgotten memories and buried emotions.

Often the memories and emotions surface into awareness with all their original charge and soon afterwards you pass a large section of mucoid plaque. As it passes out of your body, so go the emotions. In most cases, you don’t reexperience those particular emotional memories.

Here is what I think happens. It is as though you can magnetize proteins or undigested food left in the intestines with certain thoughts and feelings. These proteins hold onto the feelings for as long as the proteins remain in the intestines, and the old emotions and thoughts continually radiate through the body and mind.

They remain literally—tangibly—stuck in your body, somehow bound up with the mucoid plaque and contributing, though not often usefully, to the personality. Both the individual’s biochemistry and psyche are continuously negatively affected by these residues of emotionally magnetized matter.

Let’s say you were 13 and had a traumatic or deeply embarrassing experience. At some level, every cell in your body was affected by the emotions of that event. It is conceivable that some intestinal matter imprinted by that experience remains in your intestines, wrapped inside mucoid plaque and bearing the memory of the original pain (even though you are now 45 and barely remember the episode).

The personality and one’s operating belief system, after all, are controlled mainly by a massive accumulation of past thoughts and feelings. To a large extent, intestinal matter helps hold these feelings in place. The colon cleanse, by purging the intestines of the mucoid plaque, flushes out this accumulation of old negative thoughts and feelings.

Colon Plaque - Mucoid Plaque

by Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D
http://www.cleanse.net/newsite/articles/mucoid_plaque.html

The phrase, “mucoid plaque,” is a coined term that I use to describe various conditions found throughout the body, especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural conditions, such as attack from acids, drugs, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals. I have always attempted to make it clear that the “Mucoid Plaque” found in the bowel is not equivalent to the  natural healthy gastric and intestinal mucosa. The natural mucosa serves as a necessary buffer for the gastrointestinal wall and as a lubricant for intestinal motility. “Mucoid plaque” of any description is unnatural and is found only after the body has moved towards diseased states. Medical science has many words to describe each of these conditions, but to my knowledge, there are no effective terms that describe them under one category.

Therefore, out of necessity, I constructed the term “mucoid plaque”.Other authors have used other terms such as “Mucoid matter,” “mucoid material,” “mucoid,”1 and “Surface mucin.” Generally, mucoid plaque is composed of mucin.2   However, there are many other substances that may be involved with mucin, such as lymph, fecal matter, and various types of proteins, etc. Mucoid is a general term for a mucin, mucoprotein, or glycoprotein, which usually  composes the largest portion of what is found in the bowel. Choice of the word “plaque” is based on Webster’s concept; a film consisting of mucus, etc. Mucins or glycoproteins are produced and secreted from salivary glands, the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, gall bladder and pancreatic ducts.3  Mucus glycoproteins (mucins) are produced and secreted from salivary glands, the esophagus, stomach, small and  large intestines, as well as the gall bladder and pancreatic ducts.4

The medical terms that most adequately describe mucoid plaque are mucoviscidosis, intestinal mucin, and surface mucin. The medical definition of mucoviscidosis5 describes an advanced condition that, in my opinion, adequately supports my explanations of mucoid plaque.. Intestinal mucins are highly glycosylated molecules and consist of core protein (apomucin) joined to oligosaccharides. Six biochemically distinct mucin glycoproteins have been identified.  Intestinal mucin is designed to protect the intestine under extreme conditions. However, abnormal build-ups of mucin have been identified with pathogenic bacteria and bowel disease.6(Some medical authors use the  term “surface mucin” to describe this defense system of mucus secretion and bicarbonate intended to protect the bowel.)7  The main function of mucus is to serve as a protective barrier from acid and enzymes, as well as ingested potentially-toxic substances (e.g., alcohol, aspirin, other drugs, sodium chloride, etc.).8 Mucin is soluble in alkaline water, and is precipitated by acids.9 In other words, acids stimulate mucus secretion when the body is unable to adequately buffer those acids with electrolytes. I have been able to show that stress and eating acid-forming foods drains the body’s electrolyte reserves. Therefore, stress and eating acid-forming foods may cause the body to lose its acid- buffering efficiency, which contributes towards the stimulation of unnatural mucus secretion.

As I said above, I have always attempted to make it clear that the “Mucoid Plaque” found in the bowel is not equivalent to the natural healthy gastric and intestinal mucosa. This natural, normal and healthy mucosa contains large  volumes of alkaline buffering agents that protect the bowel wall from invasions of acids and toxins. As long as we maintain the proper electrolyte reserves and we haven’t taken anything to destroy this important  protection, we then have the use of it.  However, most Americans, and especially carnivorous and milk-drinking Americans, have lost this valuable pH. Not only that, but our ingestion of harmful poisons such as drugs,  alcohol, sodium chloride, etc., deals consistently hard blows to our digestive protective mechanisms. However, many doctors are unaware that there are two kinds of mucus barriers in the gut. There is the normal  intestinal mucosa, and the “pH-mucus barrier” that I call mucoid plaque, which overlies the normal mucosa. Figure 6.32 in West’s book reveals that when the luminal pH is acidic, the pH adjacent to the epithelial cell membrane is near neutral due to epithelial bicarbonate production and the presence of the pH-mucus layer (mucoid plaque) that overlies the gastroduodenal mucosa.10

Although most medical doctors are unaware of the concept of mucoid plaque, there are numerous comments throughout medical literature that refer to it. For an example in the book “Human Colonic Bacteria”, Edited by Glenn R. Gibson Ph.D. and George T. Macfarlane Ph.D., on page 184, the following statement was made which obviously referred to mucoid plaque: “Other bacteria such as E. Coli can also be found completely separated from luminal contents by a layer of mucin.”

As I indicated above, acids stimulate mucin secretion. Drs. Gibson and Macfarlane support this fact in the following statement. “In areas of the intestine where the morphological impact of gastritis is at its most severe, there is an increased mucin content, synthesis, and secretion.”11

One question many people ask about is just how thick can mucoid plaque accumulate? It has been shown that the thickness of mucus gel in the stomach varies from 50 to 500 (mole%)12, and in the colon from 16 to 150.13  It should be obvious that there are extremes here; up to ten times. This is very significant in terms of my theories of mucoid plaque.

Medical Terms Describing Mucoid Plaque

There are more than 45 different medical terms that describe varying aspects of the phenomenon I refer to as mucoid plaque. I have included the following list to show that “mucoid plaque,” in one form or another, does exist.

Adaptive Hypertrophy - Thickening of the walls of a hollow organ, like the urinary bladder, where there is obstruction to outflow. Yes, mucoid plaque can be anywhere in the body.

Amyloid - Any of a group of chemically diverse proteins that appear microscopically homogeneous, but are composed of linear nonbranching aggregated fibrils arranged in sheets when seen under the electron microscope. Occurs characteristically as pathologic extracellular deposits.

Amyloidosis - A disease characterized by extracellular accumulation of amyloid in various organs and tissues of the body.

Cystic papillomatous craniopharyngioma - a form of craniopharyngioma characterized by large cysts within which are fungating, irregular outgrowths of stratified squamous epithelium.

Gastric metaplasia -  See metaplasia. Gastric metaplasia is formed from acids.14

Giant Hypertrophy - Of gastric mucosa, as in Menetrier’s disease.

Hyperplasia - An increase in number of cells in a tissue or organ, excluding tumor formation, whereby the bulk of the part or organ may be increased.

Hypertrophy; Hypertrophia - General increase in bulk of a part or organ, not due to tumor formation.

Intestinal Lymph; angiectasia - Intestinal lymphangiectasia - Swelling as a result of obstruction of lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes and the accumulation of large amounts of lymph in the affected regions.15  Loops of small intestine with prominent pale lymphatics apparent on serosa16 surface in a patient with Intestinal Lymphangiectasia. This disorder may be primary or secondary to blockages of the lymphatic drainage of the small bowel.

Intestinal Metaplasia - The transformation of mucosa, particularly in the stomach, into glandular mucosa resembling that of the intestines, although usually lacking villi.

Hyperplastic polyp - Of the large bowel, showing lengthening and cystic dilation of mucosal glands

Juvenile polyp - A smoothly-rounded mucosal hamartoma17 of the large bowel, which may be multiple and cause rectal bleeding

Malacoplakia - Most often found in the urinary bladder; however, it has also been described in other sites, such as intestines, brain, and skin. Gastrointestinal malacoplakia is most often found in the colon.  It is usually polypoid.  Endoscopically, three forms have been recognized: 1. Focal legion, 2. Ubiquitous mucosal legions, and 3. Large Mass.  Associated with fermentative bacteria, particularly E. Coli.

Mucin - Intestinal mucins are highly glycosylated molecules and consist of core protein (apomucin) joined to oligosaccharides.  Six biochemically distinct mucin glycoproteins have been identified.  Intestinal mucin protects the intestine by three identified mechanisms. Abnormalities of mucin have been identified with pathogenic bacteria and bowel disease.18

Mucous polyp - An adenomatous polyp in which conspicuous amounts of mucin19 are formed.

Polypus20 - A general descriptive term used with reference to any mass of tissue that bulges or projects outward or upward from the normal surface level.

Squamous Metaplasia - Epidermalization: the transformation of glandular or mucosal epithelium into stratified21 squamous22 epithelium.

Surface mucous or surface mucin - cells lining the gastric surface; a glycoprotein product at the apical end of each cell is secreted and forms a mucous protective film.

Villous Adenoma - Of the large intestine; usually a solitary, sessile,23 often large tumor of colonic mucosa composed of mucinous epithelium covering delicate vascular projections; hypersection and malignant change occur frequently.

Medical Facts Supporting Mucoid Plaque Theory

It is a well-known medical fact that acids induce physiological responses.24  Textbook of Medical Physiology by Guyton,25 describes the various buffer systems to protect the body against acids. Textbook of Gastroenterology by Yamada and Clinical Gastroenterology by Spiro, describe the damages caused when bile becomes unnaturally acid.  It has been shown by these authors that cancer of the bowel is often associated with bile acids.  Mucin and mucus are natural protective liquids that are excreted by the mucous cells, globlet cells and crypts of Lieberkuhn throughout the stomach and intestines to help protect the delicate mucosal membranes from acids and toxins. Guyton explains that: “Even the slightest irritation of the mucosa directly stimulates the mucous cells to secrete copious quantities of this thick, viscid mucus.  This in turn forms a gastric barrier that prevents the digestion of the gastric wall and also greatly reduces the absorption of substances by the gastric mucosa.”26

Another well known fact is that 90% of the ulcers that develop in the human body are found in the duodenum. This occurs primarily in an area of the duodenum where the Brunner’s glands are located.  Normally, the  Brunner’s glands secrete large amounts of mucus, which naturally protects the body from the acids.  Ulcers develop only after the body has lost its ability to create alkaline mucus.  My point is that acids can severely damage the gastrointestinal tract, and the normal method of defense is to create mucus. 

As indicated above, various bowel diseases occur after the bile has become too acid.  Bile is created by the liver and flows to the gall bladder. All the bile that flows from the liver to the gall bladder has a pH from 7.6 - 8.6.27  But after the bile leaves the gall bladder, it can become very acid, even as low as 4.5.28  Many people, in fact, most people, are rapidly moving towards disease states and one of the steps towards disease occurs when they have lost the ability to maintain alkaline bile, and acid bile develops.  Under these conditions, the body is forced to secrete abnormal amounts of mucus to protect itself from the acid. This mucus is composed of glycoprotein.29

Even though I have shown through medical textbooks that mucoid plaque is a normal by-product of unnatural acid stimulation, it would mean very little if we could not demonstrate its existence by removing it from the  bowels.  We can show from hundreds of testimonies that the elimination of that which we call mucoid plaque is common among those who have used our cleansing program.

At least 90% of the people who use our program have improved their health, increased their energy, and eliminated a large spectrum of disease conditions.  This would seem to indicate that the elimination of the substance called mucoid plaque, and the general cleansing that takes place with our cleansing program, removes a debilitating level of toxicity closely associated with loss of vitality and chronic disease. Countless written testimonies and verbal statements of people who have done the cleanse reveal strong evidence of the value and validity of this program.

Medical scientists have clearly stated that they do not have all the answers.  There is a great deal of guessing, and concepts and facts are in a constant state of change. Most medical scientists avoid the word normal, because the word “normal” implies that they know what is normal and what is not. The truth is they really do not know.30  I have developed a system of cleansing the bowel that has assisted  thousands of people in achieving better health.  For many years, I have attempted to find out what the anatomical, physiological and chemical reasons for our success are. I believe that I have been able to successfully fill certain gaps in the field of Gastroenterology. Although some of my concepts appear to be new and challenging to the average medical doctor, most of them are not new and make a great deal of sense.  I will now show how medical science supports our theories, even though they have yet to realize it  Indeed, most of my research has been involved with the highest and most up-to-date medical research available.

The aforementioned doctors have indicated that a toxic bowel and/or mucoid plaque can be a precursor for bowel disease. I have pointed out that mucin is associated with mucoid plaque and disease. It has been shown that most adenocarcinomas secrete a small or moderate amount of mucin. 10 to 20% of tumors may be described as mucinous or colloid carcinomas on the basis of a more prodigious production of mucin. It has also been shown that these mucinous tumors of the bowel are associated with a poorer survival rate than nonmucinous tumors.31

With colon cancer, it has been shown that the colonic epithelium immediately adjacent to a colon cancer is thicker than normal. There is consideration that mucins affecting the mucosa was a field of premalignant tissue from which tumors arise.  It is an agreed upon medical concept that mucinogenic mucosa can be a transitional state that may develop into a more diseased condition in response to adjacent tumor or other pathologic condition.32

I previously stated that bile acids can stimulate mucosal and cell proliferation and that the main reason that bile becomes too acid is related to dietary ingestion of acid-forming foods. Yamada has supported these  concepts clearly, especially in relation to fats.33

With Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), mucus discharge upon defecation has been reported in approximately 50% of IBS patients. This supports my point that bowel irritation causes mucus to be secreted into the bowel as normal activity under stressful conditions. It is not uncommon for mucus to accumulate in any area of the body, such as the gall bladder, arteries, urinary bladder, bronchials, etc.

Constipation is associated with bowel problems. It is also associated with a poor diet34 _ the same acid-forming diet that creates the conditions that force the bowel to defend itself against acids and toxins, by creating the protective mucus.  Constipation is common in the majority of IBS patients.35

Between page 616 and 617 of Clinical Gastroenterology, there are several color photos revealing mucoid plaque. (See plates: 22 - 29, 31, 35, 37 - 40, 46 - 48, 62 - 66, 68 - 70, etc.) The normal colon is  composed of a series of folds, saccules or pouches called haustra.  In a healthy colon, they would be quite visible, and blood vessels should also be easily visible.  Between pages 557 and 561 of Inflammatory Bowel Disease,  there are several endoscopy plates showing the inside of the colon.  Note that there are no blood vessels visible and the haustra saccules are barely visible and sometimes not visible at all.  This indicates  exceptionally thick mucoid plaque.  Plate 26.7 and 26.15 indicates the blood vessels and haustra. The other remaining pictures reveal various forms of mucoid plaque.36

Still most modern medical doctors are not familiar with the concept that mucoid plaque, as in mucin, is a potential health threat. It is a subject that most doctors have never thought of, and when it is described to them, they are usually confused. However, some gastroenterologists are aware of this condition. Abnormalities in colonic mucin glycoprotein are considered a potential subclinical marker for ulcerative colitis and possible other bowel diseases.37

I have also stated that bacteria and parasites are protected by the mucoid plaque. Drs.Gibson and Macfarlane verified that this is true. They gave an example that E. Coli can be found completely separated from luminal contents by a layer of mucin (mucoid plaque).38

Doctors of Great Success Treated the Bowel

Doctor Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D., made the following statement: “In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the  root of most people’s health problems.39 Dr. Bernard Jensen studied with many very successful doctors throughout the United States and Europe.  He then built his own sanitarium and practiced with an open mind for over 50 years. His fame has traveled all over the world.  He was even nominated for the Nobel Prize.

On page 23 of his book, Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management, he describes mucoid plaque. “The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall.  All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.”  On page 27, he reveals his experience in this matter. “ One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil.  The rest  was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It’s that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh  in at an incredible 40 pounds. Imagine carrying around all that morbid accumulated waste.”  On page 42, Dr. Jensen talks about his old teacher Dr. John Harvey Kellogg at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, who “maintained that 90% of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioning of the colon.” On page 43, Dr. Jensen explains that National College in Chicago performed over 300 autopsies. “According to  the history of these persons, 285 had claimed they were not constipated and had normal movements and only 15 had admitted they were constipated.  The autopsies showed the opposite to be the case, however, and only 15 were  found not to have been constipated, while 285 were found to have been constipated.  Some of the histories of these 285 persons stated they had had as many as 5 or 6 bowel movements daily, yet autopsies revealed that in some of them the bowel was 12 inches in diameter. The bowel walls were encrusted with material (in one case peanuts which had been lodged there for a very long time).” On page 62, Dr. Jensen explains: “As we  work with eliminating the encrusted mucus lining, we must also consider nourishing the new cells below it.” On page 67 Dr. Jensen suggests: “Bowel cleansing is an essential element in any lasting healing  program.  The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possible to halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best done by 1. Removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel; 2....

After listening to several of Dr. Jensen’s patients who used his program, and after seeing what bowel cleansing did for me and the thousands of people who did my program, I learned that Dr. Jensen knew what he was talking about

Doctors who have achieved fame for their exceptional cure rates always took care of the alimentary canal. Dr. William Koch, Dr. Eugene Blass, Dr. John Kellogg of the Battle Creek Sanitarium, Sir Arbuthnot Lane (surgeon for the King of England), Dr. Bernard Jensen, and Dr. J.H. Tilden are some of the exceptional individuals who used this knowledge

In the early 1900’s, Dr. J.H. Tilden of Denver, Colorado, specialized in healing pneumonia, which was at that time the number one killer. During that time almost every doctor lost hundreds of his patients to that deadly plague. Dr. Tilden had more pneumonia cases than any other doctor and he never lost a patientHe used no drugs at all.  He simply cleaned out the colon (using enemas and colonics), used water therapy, and administered natural, live foods.40 Even in those  days, his success was considered miraculous because other doctors were relying on drugs and continually meeting with failure

Sir Arbuthnot Lane MS, FRCS, surgeon for the King of England, made the following statement:  “There is but one disease and that is deficient drainage.”41 Dr. Lane spent many years specializing in  bowel problems. He was an expert in removing sections of the bowel and stitching it back together.  He taught this work to other doctors and gained an international reputation for his efficiency. During the years of this work, he began to notice a peculiar phenomenon. During the course of recovery from colonic surgery, some of his patients experienced remarkable cures of diseases that had no apparent connection with  his surgery. For instance, a young boy who had had arthritis for many years was in a wheelchair at the time of surgery. Six months later, this boy had recovered entirely from arthritis. Another case involved a woman with a goiter. When a specific section of the bowel was removed in surgery, there ensued a definite remission of the goiter within six months. These and similar experiences impressed him deeply, as he saw the relationship between the toxic bowel and the functioning of various organs in the body. After much thought about this relationship, he became very interested in changing the bowel through dietetic methods and spent the last 25 years of his life teaching people how to care for the bowel through cleansing and nutrition, and not surgery. Sir Lane said, “All maladies are due to the lack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence of the normal defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora.42  When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower alimentary canal. The poisons thus generated pollute the bloodstream , causing  every tissue, gland, and organ of the body to gradually deteriorate and be destroyed.43Lane made the statement that arthritis could not develop in the absence of intestinal toxemia, that there is clinical and x-ray evidence of stasis44 in such patients, and that the symptoms disappear and patients recover sometimes with startling rapidity when the condition of stasis has been effectively dealt with. Sir Lane reports a connection between intestinal toxemia and “several changes in the thyroid” such as “adenomatous growths.” He also made this statement to the staff of John Hopkins Hospital and Medical College, “Gentlemen, I will never die of cancer. I am taking measures to prevent it. It is caused by poisons created in our bodies by the food we eat....

Dr. Harvey Kellogg, M.D. of the Kellogg Sanitarium said, “Of the 22,000 operations that I have personally performed, I have never found a single normal colon, and of the 100,000 that were performed under my jurisdiction, not over 6% were normal.”45 Dr. Kellogg said that he knew of many cases in which operations were prevented by cleansing and revitalizing the bowel. He maintained that 90% of the diseases of  civilization are due to improper functioning of the colon

Dr. George C. Crile, head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland and one of the world’s greatest surgeons, said: “There is no natural death.  All deaths that come from so-called natural causes are merely the end point of progressive acid saturation.  Many people go so far as to consider that sickness and disease are just a ‘cross’ or an element that God gave them to bear here on this earth. However, if they would take care  of their body and cleanse their colon and intestines, their problems would be pretty much eliminated, and they could eliminate their ‘cross’ by proper diet, proper exercise, and, in general, proper living.”4

Many doctors had proven that the bowel was the key to health or disease and the most important part of our physical anatomy to take care of in order to achieve successful healing. The following cases were obtained from medical journals

Dr. H. J. Bartle found in a study of 50 cases of intestinal toxemia that 72% of those cases had constipation. 

Dr. Satterlee found 84% of his patients had constipation when they had intestinal toxemia. This indicates that serious bowel disease is associated with having constipation

Dr. William Lintz, M.D., successfully treated 472 patients suffering from allergies by cleansing the bowel. 

Dr. Allan Eustis, M.D., Professor at Tulane University of Medicine in 1912, cured 121 cases of bronchial asthma by intestinal cleansing

Dr. D. Rochester, M.D., University of Buffalo School of Medicine in 1906, made the statement that after 23 years of observation, toxemia of gastrointestinal tract origin is the underlying cause of asthma

Dr. Bassler reported that by reducing intestinal toxemia, he had 100% success eliminating cardiac arrhythmia.

Dr. Bainbridge, M.D., stated that intestinal toxemia is common among the causative factors of so-called functional heart disease

Dr. D.J. Barry stated, “There seems little doubt that substances having a deleterious action on the heart musculature and nerves are formed both in the small and large intestine, even under apparently normal  circumstances.

Dr. Hovel stated that “toxemia due to intestinal sepsis is a common cause of increased blood pressure.” Dr. J.A. Stucky, M.D.: “In several hundreds of cases of diseases of the nasal accessory sinuses, middle and internal ear... I have found unmistakable and marked evidence of toxemia of intestinal origin as evidenced by excessive indican in the urine, and when the condition causing this was removed there was marked amelioration or entire relief of the disease.

Dr. C. W. Hawley, M.D., treated many cases of eye strain and disease with success once again by relieving intestinal toxemia.

Dr. Herter, M.D., in 1892, linked intestinal putrefaction to epilepsy in 31 patients.  I had one doctor take the Cleanse who had epilepsy. During her cleanse she had her last seizure. Five years later she reported that she has had no more seizures and no other signs of epilepsy. Doctors should really consider  the importance of this. What is really happening when we do the Cleanse?  It is doing things that are really rather incredible, of which I only know a small portion

Drs. Satterlee and Eldridge reported experience with 518 cases of “mental symptoms” including “mental sluggishness, dullness, and stupidity; loss of concentration and/or memory; mental incoordination, irritability, lack of confidence, excessive and useless worry, exaggerated introspection...Their success in eliminating these symptoms by surgically relieving intestinal toxemia is truly remarkable in the light of today’s commonly-held  beliefs.

Dr. J.F. Burgess, Montreal General Hospital, reports the results of studying 109 cases of eczema. He states, “On the basis of clinical observations and sensitivity tests against various amino acids and ptomaine bases, eczema is probably caused by intestinal toxemia.

It is my own opinion that all cancer, AIDS, liver disorders, kidney, brain, and heart disorders receive their toxic malformations from the intestines.  Sir W.A. Lane tried to make it clear when he wrote that he was “exceedingly impressed by the sequence of cancer and intestinal stasis.” We know that changes in the breast, caused by intestinal pollution, have been described by many doctors.

Another author, Dr. Robert Gray, has described the mucoid plaque in a manner similar to Dr. Jensen and myself.  “Another type of constipation is present when old, hardened feces stick to the walls of the colon and do  not pass out with the regular bowel movements....And few people have any inkling as to how much old, hardened feces are chronically present with their bodies.....As moisture is absorbed from a slimy medium in the colon, the medium becomes sticky. As the medium is further dehydrated, it becomes gluey and glues a coating of itself to the walls of the colon as it passes through. As layer after layer of gluey feces piles up in the colon, they often form into a tough, rubbery black substance.  Old feces may build up in pockets and they may coat the entire length of the colon and small intestines as well.  They do not pass from the body with ordinary bowel movements but require special techniques to dissolve the glue that binds them in the body. Because nonmucoid material moves through the body quicker than mucoid material, the bowel tends to move two to three times  per day when the intestines and colon are in non mucoid condition....”48 He also discusses parasites. “They lodge themselves in the old matter that encrusts the walls of the intestinal tract. Without the presence of stagnant material in which to embed themselves, intestinal parasites cannot maintain a foothold in the body. Remove this old, filthy, decaying mucoid matter and you will flush the parasites out as well.”49  He explains malabsorption in relation to mucoid plaque. “The accumulation of mucoid material along the walls of the small intestine can interfere with nutrient absorption even though nutritional  intake may be adequate.”50

Dr. Jensen and Dr. Gray had different ideas as to how the “mucoid plaque” is formed. Both of these authors felt that it was the mucus-forming foods and highly processed foods that contributed towards the formation of mucoid plaque. I agree that they may contribute towards its composition, however, my studies indicated that excess intake of acid-forming foods forces mucin to develop because it produces levels of acid the body cannot  buffer due to electrolyte deficiency.

Dr. V.E. Irons, a pioneer in colon cleansing theory and activity, and a staunch advocate against modern medicine wrote a booklet called: “The Destruction OF YOUR OWN NATURAL PROTECTIVE MECHANISM”. In this booklet he made the following statements:  “I challenge the world that you couldn’t find in the USA, 1000 people who don’t have a clogged colon.  Just let me get them on the Colema Board and on the 7 Day Cleansing  Program both at the same time and we will show any challengers WHAT WE MEAN.  We will let them see, feel and even hold in their hands exactly what has been thickening, hardening, and decaying in their colon for years, causing all types of dis-ease. The condition of the colons in this entire country are FAR WORSE than either the doctors, the AMA, the Drug houses,.....or even the Natural Health industry have any conception.....and  believe in our theory that the CAUSE OF MOST CONDITIONS OF ILL HEALTH IS AUTOINTOXICA-TION and that 95% of their troubles start in the colon.  We can prove that we can find hardened mucous with its foul smelling curd in the colons of 95% of the entire nation.  HOW DO WE KNOW THIS?  Because possibly 99% of all ages and sexes have violated two of the major Natural Laws from one to three times every day since they were 2 years old.  What are the two laws?  1. The WRONG combination of foods.  2. The constant daily use of tremendous amounts of DEAD FOODS.  The wrong application of both of these laws has caused the body’s  natural protective mechanism to secrete mucous into the colon to protect the body from absorbing the many poisons that those counterfeit foods create.  But we have simply OVERWORKED Nature’s protective mechanism to the  point that the mechanism instead of protecting us from poisons now itself poisons us..... This protective mechanism was never designed to continue secreting mucous one layer on top of another layer for years with no time out  or chance for its elimination. The result is that layer on top of layer is secreted until its accumulation thickens to 1/8” to 1/4” thick. Sometimes this layer or layers gets to 3/8” to 1/2” in thickness, becoming as hard and black as a piece of old hardened rubber you see on a highway from a truck tire. It cannot be cut with a knife but you can cut it with a razor blade. Usually it breaks into innumerable small pieces.   But we have had specimens saved in alcohol from several inches to a few feet in length while the longest we have had was 27 ft. (In one piece). Sometimes it will come out as a pile weighing as much as 11 lbs… and continue to come out for several days to a week.....before the old hardened accumulated mucous, so tightly imbedded in the colon for months or years, comes out. It has probably been slowly emitting poisons into your blood stream, causing all types of distorted symptoms. Once this hardened mucous starts to eliminate, it will be trapped in the colander so that you can wash it and examine it. Anyone who disagrees with any of the above - REMEMBER, you CAN PROVE it to your own satisfaction by what comes from your own body for the smallest conceivable investment. There is no substitute for experience, and we challenge everyone to experience this for themselves.....You (meaning the reader and 95% of the USA) DO HAVE THIS HARDENED MUCOUS IN YOUR COLON AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT COMES OUT OF YOU.” My experience has undoubtedly verified Dr. Irons’s descriptive explanations.

Francisco Izundergui MacDonnell, MD, Ph.D., ND, PP. Gen. Adm., sent the following letter. Here is his testimony.  “Dear Sirs:  ... Many times when practicing autopsies on people who died from chronic illnesses, I have always found a thick layer of organized mucus-like hardened material all over from the tongue down to the stomach, small, large and recto-sigmoid colon.  Usually it is more common among milk drinkers and meat eaters. If for some reason your products has the ability to detach this layer of morbus material, then a great deal of accomplishment will be achieved for these persons.  This layer is composed of coagulated and racemized glyco-proteins, which really impair the GI tract function and also constitute a reservoir of bacteria and viruses that invade the lymphatic and blood stream causing a wearing down of the bodily defenses and a lot of burden on the liver detoxification function. For that reason, Gerson, Kelly and Beard enfancied always on GI tract cleansing to obtain better results with their cancer treatments. In the past we have even removed the entire colon to obtain an effective relief from auto-intoxication specially with colon polyposis and diverticulosis and chronic ulcerative colitis.....”51

Unfortunately, there has been little interest on this subject by the medical profession, and theories vary from one end of the spectrum to the other.  Medical science seems to be in denial of the experiences of tens of thousands people. Medical science basically avoids admitting the mucoid theory, and yet many thousands of people who first sought help from medical science ended up finding help from the natural procedures that modern medicine resists and denies. As modern medicine denied that Candidiasis was a cause to many illnesses for several decades after the alternative practitioners announced the problem, so does modern medicine deny the bowel  problems in association with many diseases.

The Polluted Colon


Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., PH.D., Nutritionist

"In the 50 years I've spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people's health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for before any healing can take place."

A simple thing like cleansing and detoxifying the colon can produce tremendous benefits, eliminate many health disorders, restore normal bowel movements, lose weight and SHRINK OR ELIMINATE A POT BELLY resulting in a flatter stomach!

A clean healthy colon is vital for a healthy life. Normal bowel movements, 2 to 3 a day are essential, yet many go only once every two days or three. A polluted colon practically invites cancer - in cancer patients, the colon is like a clogged, rotting sewer line.

Colon cleansing was an accepted medical practice 70 year ago, known to produce good health, yet now is completely abandoned (no money in it), replaced by drugs and surgery. Some therapists today can effect true healing with colon detoxification alone!

THE MOST ABUSED AND NEGLECTED ORGAN

During the past century we have introduced an avalanche of chemicals, pollutants and toxins into our food and body products that have over stressed the natural working order of the systems in the body and impared the functioning of vital organs. We are born with a clean, unabused, uniform colon. However, modern commercial diets with foreign substances, unnatural to the body, have caused the colon to become obstructed, distorted and engorged with toxic waste matter resulting in critical stress on the immune
system and functions throughout the body.

MOST POT BELLIES ARE CAUSED BY A POLLUTED SAGGING COLON

Americans are known for their pot bellies. The reason: the colon that supports the stomach is sagging. The colon walls are lined with layers of fecal matter and mucous - filthy, black, toxic mucus, often the consistency of hard rubber. Blockage can be so severe, feces can barely pass through. Documented cases show this accumulated trash weighing up to 40 lbs!

There is a direct correlation between the condition of the intestinal tract and the overall functioning of the body. When the bowel fails to release all its waste, a toxic liquid enters the blood stream, organs, tissues, arteries, veins, lymph and then all cells. This autointoxication is at the root of all chronic illness. Colon blockage prevents nutrient absorption and almost no vitamins and minerals through regardless of how much one takes.

THE MOST POWERFUL THING ONE SHOULD DO IS DETOXIFY AND REHABILITATE THE COLON

By eliminating encrusted fecal matter accumulated over the years and stripping the mucus lining on the colon, you remove a major contributor to disease. Accumulated fecal matter causes the lymphatic system to become congested. During acute illness, a toxic lymph is usually present and prevents the white blood cells from fighting disease.

Parasites, worms and harmful bacteria remain in the colon thriving on filth, rot and stagnant putrefactive matter.

The body can be like a walking garbage can, carrying rotting matter in the colon for 5 to 10 years. But the bowel can again function efficiently for waste elimination and good nutrient absorption imperative to strong health and healing. This also allows friendly, beneficial bacteria to return safe from putrification.

The solution is simple: throughly cleanse the colon to remove toxic debris and stop eating junk food, processed foods with unnatural substances. The body will respond with astonishing reversal and restore a state of excellent health for your general well being in life.
