Colon Cleanse:
What Is It & How Does It Work?

Health Begins In The Colon

The main function of the colon is to reabsorb nutrients and water into our bodies and eliminate toxic waste materials through regular bowel movements. A person with a healthy colon should have at least one bowel movement every day...2 - 3 per day is even better. These bowel movements should come easily, without straining, and should not have a foul odor.

When a person has an unhealthy or toxic colon, this toxic waste material or fecal matter has been allowed to build up on the walls of the colon and in the cells of the body. Over time, this fecal matter becomes impacted in the colon, blocking the opening and slowing down the passage of the stool.

This fecal matter continues to build up for days, weeks, months and sometimes years. As it builds up, it putrefies and slowly poisons all the systems of your body.

It has been suggested that an unhealthy colon can lead to the development of a number of other health conditions. In fact, 80% of all disease and discomfort is related to a toxic colon - due to this impacted fecal matter.

Illnesses such as acid reflux, cardiovascular disease, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, colds, influenza, arthritis, and allergies are just a few examples of diseases that have been associated with an unhealthy colon. Plus, in most cases, the severity of the disease can be linked directly to the level of toxicity in the colon.
