Are You Tired of Being Constipated?

A clean, strong and well functioning colon is essential to maintaining optimal health. While an unclean, weak and poorly functioning colon, is a breeding ground for disease and sickness. Serious health problems can arise if the colon is not properly cared for, and based on the statistics; colon health care in this country has been dolefully neglected. The muscles on the outer wall of the colon create a wave-like motion, which pushes the stool through the bowel. Failure to eliminate thoroughly and in a timely manner affects the balance of bacteria and leads to re-absorption of waste products that should have been passed out of the body. This re-absorbed waste can poison the intestines and the rest of the body. At least two million Americans suffer from colon related diseases.

Over time, the colon can lose the ability to process vital nutrients, absorb water and eliminate fecal matter from the body. Constipation is commonly recognized as a condition where the fecal matter is so tightly packed together, that bowel movements are infrequent, as a result eliminations occur with painful difficulty and straining. In fact, many people are constipated without even recognizing the condition. Old hardened feces stick to the walls of the colon. The inner diameter of the colon is compressed like a water pipe blocked by mineral deposits, and eventually the opening becomes narrower and narrower making it more difficult to pass waste through. Since the caked feces line the colon wall, the colon is unable to absorb nutrients from our food. Most people have no idea how much old, hardened, fecal matter is lodged within their colons. Constipation can injure the colon or be a sign of a malfunctioning colon. When we don’t eliminate our waste, toxins back up in the colon which can cause “auto-intoxication” or self-poisoning. Wastes from the blood stream, which should normally be drawn into the colon through the colon walls are re-absorbed by the body along with other toxins from the fermentation and putrefaction from undigested food. For that reason, intestinal stasis often follows which occurs when the muscular contractions known as peristalsis can no longer sweep the hardened feces along the digestive canal. The body reacts to this constricted bowel by stepping up the frequency of the peristaltic wave action to allow the waste to exit the body. Taken to its limit, the effect can be diarrhea, which is when the body moves the waste out so fast, the bowel doesn’t have time to remove the water and consolidate the waste into stool.

Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm the body or inhibit assimilation and elimination is the reasoning behind why most people choose to do a colon cleanse. Even debris built up over a long period is gently, but surely removed in the process of a series of treatments. Once impacted material is removed, the gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic muscular contraction activity and the colon naturally moves material as it was intended.
