Detoxification and Colon Cleansing

Article by Tom Burgess, Ashstar Wellness Programs:

Detoxification

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. Many of these toxins come from our diet, drug use, and environmental exposure, both acute and chronic. Internally, fats, especially oxidized fats and cholesterol, free radicals, and other irritating molecules act as toxins. Functionally, poor digestion, colon sluggishness and dysfunction, reduced liver function, and poor elimination through the kidneys, respiratory tract, and skin all add to increased toxicity.

Colon Cleansing

Colon cleansing is one of the most important parts of detoxification.
Much toxicity comes out of the large intestine, and sluggish functioning of this organ can rapidly produce general toxicity. The proper level of elimination of these toxins is essential to health.

Some of the tell tail signs of a poorly functioning, overburdened toxin system would be:

• Allergy or intolerance to certain foods
• Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools
• Constipation, diarrhea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements
• Frequent congestion, colds, viruses
• Flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders
• Frequent headaches for no apparent reason
• General aches and pains that migrate from one place to another
• Intolerance to fatty foods
• Low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason
• Lower back pain
• Lowered resistance to infections
• Needing to sleep a long time
• Pain in your liver or gall bladder
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast soreness, vaginal infections
• Skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, acne

During an in-depth detox/cleansing program it is advisable to take "Intestinal Flush"; it has unique properties which allows it to liberate large amounts of water in the gastrointestinal tract. This hydration process helps soften and liquefy the impacted and hardened waste matter. The undigested and putrefying waste that has stuck to the bowel wall blocking the absorption of nutrients and creating a source of toxicity is safely and gently eliminated.

Logically speaking, it promotes a CLEANER bowel.
Another advantage, since it’s consumed orally, it has the opportunity to cleanse the entire intestinal tract from "top to bottom". Enemas on the other hand are limited just to the lower part of the intestinal tract.

With the removal of this excess waste matter the blood supply and oxygenation and over all health of the colonic membranes should be greatly improved. This in turn will have MAJOR implications for one's well being, such as an increase in energy, younger appearance, weight loss and an increased zest for life.
