A toxin is any substance that creates irritating and/or harmful effects in the body, undermining our health or stressing our biochemical or organ functions. This may result from drugs, which have side effects. Toxins are agents that are able to cause body harm.

 

 

Your body wants to live forever; it wants to be free from all pain and illness; it actively desires complete healing to take place within it at all times. Your body is your friend and partner and this is why you need to take care of your body in your effort to regain optimum health. One way of doing this is by detoxifying the body.

 

 

The colon is the sewer of your body. If the colon is not cleansed, the waste in your body cannot get out. According to some estimates, about over 140 million people suffer from bowel problems. These statistics cover only those people whose problems are severe enough to cause them to consult a medical doctor. The body's tissues will not eliminate wastes unless the colon is working. The bodily systems are connected. When the colon is cleaned out, the body will start pulling poisons out from everywhere, because it can. Wastes from the colon can leak out and pollute other organs in your body. You can treat your organs with natural methods (vitamins, alternative medicines) but you are not going to get the full effect because your organs are infected or irritated by the poisons coming from your colon.

 

If the toxins stay in your colon long enough, it will leak into your body and cause what is called autointoxication. These pockets of tissue usually cannot be detected inside the colon with colonoscopy, but on the outside of the colon where you cannot see. The bowel pockets leak pus, blood, and fecal matter back into the bloodstream.

 

When the body is toxic, the cells cannot receive nutrients from the blood because the interstitial fluids surrounding the cells are clogged with wastes. This internal poisoning also causes mental depression and morbid thoughts - a vicious cycle.  If the colon is not cleansed, the other organs cannot cleanse their waste. If a person cannot get the bowels cleaned out, even if they clean the plaque out of the arteries--it is going to go back into the body. They will just re-absorb it. Unless they clean out the colon, they will never regain their optimum health.

The Different Types of Colon Cleanses. One way you can use colon cleanses is by purchasing a colon cleanse that you take by mouth. Others you can take through the rectum. Either way, the idea is to force the colon to release its toxins. Your colon can hold up to 12 pounds of toxins (stool). Most people have reported that they lost 12 pound within the first couple of weeks when they started using colon cleanses. Some of the types of colon cleanse they offer is:  

 

I usually do not share my own personal experiences but I think you will find it helpful if you are deciding to try a colon cleanse and you are unsure what type to try. At the age of five, I developed epilepsy. Since then I had tried every anti convulsion medication. I tried medical trails – using medications that were being tested and not yet approved by the FDA - nothing seemed to work. Doctors could not find a cure to control my seizures 100 percent. As I got older, I decided to do my own research and try to find a way to control my epilepsy. I began looking into alternative medications – natural elements to cure common conditions. I never stopped my medicine, but I did begin to use colon cleanses. After the first couple of weeks I noticed an increase in my energy, my weight was beginning to drop and I felt more focused. Slowly my seizures began to decrease. I went from six seizures a month, to four seizures a month, to 3, 2, 1, than 1 every couple of months to none.   

 

When I stopped using the colon cleanses my seizures reoccurred, so I make sure I used my colon cleans regularly along with certain vitamins and of course my anti seizure medications. I cannot say that it was the colon cleanses that stopped my seizures, but I strongly believe that it plays a huge role in controlling my seizures. I feel great; look better in appearance and mentally my confidence, determination and will to succeed has improved dramatically. I use ColonClenz, The Whole Body Cleanse, fiber, milk thistle, a liver cleanse and a daily supplement. What works for me may not work for you, but I can truly say that colon cleanses and detoxifying my body has changed my life in more ways than you can imagine.
