Don't Overlook a Colon Cleanse


Our intestines function as our body's own waste disposal system. Food in liquid form moves from the small intestine into the colon for final processing. Here most of the water and minerals are re-absorbed, leaving the semi-solid waste which is evacuated through the rectum. Any breakdown in the intestine's natural cleansing process is accompanied by risks of poor food assimilation and toxicity build-up. Highly refined foods, including sugar and white flour, make us susceptible to intestinal problems such as colitis, constipation, diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel (IBS) and Crohn's disease. These types of disorders are rare in parts of the world where native foods provide many times more fiber than the modern highly processed diet we have here in the U.S.

As a result some revert to having a Colon Cleanse, while others try consuming more fiber as part of their daily diet; which provides them with the additional ammunition needed to fight both the backlog of toxins you have now and also deter the potential toxins caused by the day-to-day habits we have incorporated.
