If you are not having two bowel movements per day, where is all that food going? Constipation is one of the most common afflictions of the human race and diseases of the digestive organs are the most common reasons an individual seeks the advice of a physician. Constipation is defined as the difficult or infrequent passage of feces and is associated with the presence of dry, hardened stools. The constipation condition may lead to intestinal toxemia, which is a form of blood poisoning. This is caused by the absorption of bacteria and their toxins through the porous intestinal wall.
The colon, or large intestine, is the most prolific source of bacterial contamination in the entire body. Thirty-six toxic substances have been isolated from the human colon. When passing through the intestinal wall, these substances can enter the lymphatic or portal system and are transported directly to the liver. Temporary increases in the toxic load of the liver occur during periods of stagnation in the colon. Any prolongation of this state will impede the detoxifying and bacteria killing function of the liver.
An overburdened liver, which cannot handle the toxic load from the intestine, transfers the task of detoxification onto another organ, the kidney. Unfortunately, the kidney is not able to reduce the amount of toxins that enter the liver, or to detoxify them as efficiently as the liver. The toxins, which the kidneys do not remove from the blood, adversely affect the kidney tubules and increase circulating body-toxin levels. The popular contention is that secondary symptoms of stagnation in the colon such as irritability, bad breath, tiredness, dull eyes, poor complexion and bloat, are the result of mechanical distention and not intestinal toxemia. However, it is interesting to note that these symptoms of stagnation subside with Colon Irrigation sessions.
Laxatives (whether over-the-counter or written prescription) aggravate the problem of constipation by interfering with the colon’s ability to eliminate normally on its own. The chemicals contained in laxatives irritate and stimulate the colon to abnormally contract and expel the irritating substances. Most laxatives and purgatives dehydrate the individual. Enemas only cleanse the rectum and the last portion of the colon, missing most of the large intestine.
Colon Irrigation addresses the potential cause or source of the constipation problem. Other methods treat only the symptoms and provide temporary relief of the problem. Colon Irrigation will effectively cleanse the colon and could promote the return of regular bowel elimination. This cleansing procedure could prevent stagnation and possibly minimize the exposure of cancer causing-agents to the colon wall. The above combined effect may serve to rejuvenate the immunological system and truly be the pathway to more vibrant health!
