Colon Cleansing:

Colon cleansing is a major part of the detoxification process of the body. Colon cleansing is effective for those that are feeling more constipated, have been eating poorly, gaining weight, or have decreased energy. The following quote by Dr. Bernard Jensen, Ph.D. emphasizes the importance of a healthy intestinal tract. He states," Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the intestinal system. When the intestines are dirty, the blood is dirty, and so are the organs and tissues. It is the intestinal system that has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place." We take in toxins through the air we breathe and through our skin, but most of our toxic load comes from our food supply. Pesticides and fertilizers have a strong affinity for our fat tissue, where they are commonly stored. Our livers are the major detoxification organ in our bodies, and can always use some help in elimination. It is always best to support and detoxify the liver as you detoxify the colon. Vitamins and herbs are excellent choices to support the liver and intestinal tract in detoxification. People often feel fantastic after a few weeks of cleansing. They often feel lighter and clear-headed. Dr. Metcalfe recommends cleansing your intestinal tract at least four times per year. For a simple reminder, detoxify your body each time the seasons change.
