"Progress" has devastated man's bodily environment as much or more than it has endangered the survival of the planet. So-called advances in pharmacology and medical technology have resulted in a progressive loss of awareness of the importance of the bowel in health and disease and the impact that properly applied colon therapy can have. Thus the effects of our society's malnourishment have persisted for decades, undetected. But the dramatic increase in entirely unnecessary disease is awakening the public to the importance of proper diet. This is good. Sadly, much damage has been done. Some is irreparable. You have become alerted to the dangers of societies self-inflicted internal toxic poisoning.
Toxemia is the presence of poisons in the blood. How does poison get into the blood? Improper food combinations produce rotting fecal debris that dries and adheres to the walls of the colon - thwarting food assimilation and obstructing elimination. The colon soon begins to poison itself. These poisons accumulate in the colon's area of lowest resistance, forming a medium for the growth of viruses, bacteria and/or parasites. When the colon is polluted it robs the body of critical oxygen supply.
One of the unfortunate consequences of humankind’s modern lifestyle is an increase in the number of people suffering from congested bowels, colon cancer, and irritable bowel syndrome. The modern diet has become so far removed from what our prehistoric ancestors ingested that our bodies are paying the price. Between refined white flour and sugar, plus meat and dairy products, all of which contain no fiber whatsoever, our digestive and elimination systems have ended up in a weakened and diseased state.
One tool, which has proved invaluable in treating people with bowel problems, is colonic irrigation. This involves the circulation of pressurized water throughout the length of the colon in such a way that old fecal matter is removed from the walls of the bowel. This helps restore the tone and vigor of colon tissue, thus alleviating constipation and other bowel problems.
While the practice of colonic irrigation may seem unusual to those unfamiliar with it, I have found it to be an effective tool in dealing with the consequences of our modern lifestyle.
Years ago, I was managing a health food store when I met a man 75 years of age, who looked to be 40 years old! He had a full head of hair, clear eyes, clear skin, erect posture, and a clear strong vibrant voice, the picture of health. Was I impressed? You bet! I later discovered that what I had witnessed was the result of regular exercise, proper nutrition, and bowel cleansing. Hence I started my own health quest.
I have now practiced and studied various aspects of true health and have come to the conclusion that bowel or colon health is the cornerstone of radiant living.
For centuries people have recognized the need for periodic cleansing in order to prevent illness. With the first sign of sickness our great grandmothers would reach for the enema bag and some herbs. But today bowel health is scarcely talked about. You don’t go to a dinner party and talk about being constipated. Unfortunately, the average mother and father are completely ignorant of bowel cleansing and its relationship to health.
Some of my clients believe that if they have three bowel movements a day they have diarrhea, and that a couple of movements a week is normal. An example of the latter was a lady client who assured me that she had normal movements, that her bowels moves regularly, every Tuesday and Friday morning! Most people have not been properly educated in their childhood to realize the importance of daily elimination.
In 1914, 57 of the world’s leading physicians met at a health conference. One of their conclusions was that "every organ of the body is affected by reabsorbed poisons from the colon…. constantly bathing the delicate cells." Auto-intoxication is the process whereby the body poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool of decaying matter in its colon. the toxins released by the decay process get into the bloodstream and travel to every part of the body. Every cell in the body is affected and many forms of sickness can result. Because it weakens the entire system, auto-intoxication can be a causative factor for nearly any disease.
The cause of auto-intoxication is putrefaction within the intestinal tract. Dr. Kellogg (of cereal fame) performed many autopsies during his career, and often found 8 to 25 pounds of fecal matter in the colon of the average person.
Have you ever had the problem that even when following a relatively good diet and exercise programme, you still have a little pot belly below the navel? This is because the transverse colon, which is normally in line with the naval, has prolapsed or dropped a few inches below the naval (middle of the colon is falling down and out). Accumulated fecal matter has forced the colon down and out.
The first stage of a colonic irrigation session involves massage of the lower abdominal area. This increases peristaltic action (bowel contraction) and helps to dislodge fecal impaction. The massage will also indicate the current status of the colon.
Then, a sterilized hygienic spectum is gently inserted into the rectum, which causes only momentary discomfort until the anal sphincter adjusts. Clients are completely covered during the procedure. Purified water is then piped into the colon via a small inlet tube, which then circulates and leaves the colon through an evacuation tube. As the water leaves, it carries out impacted fecal matter, gas and mucus. The entire procedure is completely sanitary, without the mess accompanying a standard enema. Immediately following the procedure, clients feel lighter and enjoy a sense of well-being.
In my opinion, good health required two or three odourless and effortless bowel movements a day without cramps and without bloating. The normal transit time should be 8 to 14 hours. This means the prevailing notion of a single bowel movement in the morning is inconsistent with the motility requirements of the bowel.
