The Truth about Toxins

Today's modern world has caused new environmental issues thus increasing the number of pollutants and toxins that are inhaled, ingested or absorbed into our cells and tissues. Each day, we are exposed to numerous chemicals and toxins from the environment which deposit in our cells and tissues. They come from the air around us, the water we use to drink and bathe, the food we eat, the soil in which our food is grown, and the household products we use. The overall chemical load to which the human body is now exposed is unprecedented in human history.

• Heavy metals impair the immune system and neurological function.

• Organic solvents and pesticides increase our risk of certain cancers.

• Carbon monoxide pollution is increasing with more vehicles on the

road, affecting our nervous, immune and respiratory systems.

• Numerous other chemicals have also been shown to injure our bodies,

building up in our tissues and causing organ dysfunction.

Our cells often become overwhelmed with these toxins, whereby increasing the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other immune disorders. The bodies’ cells must receive proper nutrients and expel these harmful toxins to fight disease and function optimally. Treating the damage alone cannot stop the process, we must also address the cause, specifically, this toxic residue in our tissues.

                       Physical symptoms of toxic overload include:
        Fatigue, headaches, joint or muscle pain, frequent colds and flu's,
                allergies, hormonal imbalance, sinus congestion,skin conditions,
                                  loss of dexterity, insomnia and more!

Psychological symptoms of toxic overload include:

Poor concentration, memory loss, mood changes,

mental confusion and changes in behavior.

Toxins and the Colon

Of all the excretory organs, the colon is the most abused and overloaded these days.
The average American today carries many pounds of dense, rubbery mucoid material-a thick toxic sludge-imbedded in his bowels, and none of it is ordinary feces.

During a detox program, it is a good idea to eliminate as much of this toxic lining as possible from the bowels. For a complete cleansing of the entire colon, a series of colonic irrigationsis recommended, especially during the first few days of a detox program. In addition to cleansing the colon and eliminating a major source of toxins to the bloodstream, colonic irrigation triggers a strong detox response in the liver, and a major cleansing reaction throughout the body. It is impossible to describe in words the sheer volume and incredible foul appearance of the putrid, mucoid wastes that come tumbling out of the body with a series of colonic irrigation, after festering in the bowels for years and years. It is definitely a case of “seeing is believing,” and any one who’s ever done it can testify how good it feels to dump all that bad rubbish from their bodies.

If you really wish to “start at the bottom” in a progressive program to completely detoxify and regenerate your whole system, then you should definitely begin with a series of colonic irrigations to dredge your bowels of all the putrefies, partially digested debris and toxic residues that have accumulated inside over the years. Until you do this, regardless of how well you cleanse your blood and tissues by other means, the sludge in your bowels will continue to seep toxins right back into your bloodstream.
Virtually everyone today has this problem.

Even a hundred years ago, the famous American Naturopath Dr. Harvey Kellogg, who invented the corn flake, and was portrayed in the movie, “Road to Wellville” noted:

               “Of the 22,000 operation that I have personally performed,
                 I have never found a normal colon. “
                V.E. Irons, who devoted his long life to promoting colon health, remarked,
                              “About the only place you see a normal
            healthy colon today is in an anatomy book.”

It is rather pointless to embark on a major new dietary program and spend a lot of money on expensive nutritional and herbal supplements if your bowels are impacted with toxic wastes from years of pollutants and wrong eating habits. Not only does this thick slimy lining constantly secrete toxins into the bloodstream through the bowel walls, in the small intestine it blocks the assimilation of nutrients and herbal essences into the bloodstream.

    Dr. Norman Walker, who lived to the age of 116 by practicing what he preached,
                  states in his book Colon Health: The key to a Vibrant Life:

        "The elimination of undigested food and other waste products is equally                     important as the proper digestion and assimilation of food.
         The very best diets can be no better than the very worst if the sewage
      system of the colon is clogged with a collection of waste and corruption."

Those who have done colonic irrigations have always remarked on how much better they feel afterwards, and how colonics often eliminate chronic conditions that defied all other treatments. Nothing facilitates internal cleansing and accelerates the detox process as effectively as colonic irrigation. If you’re still a “colonic virgin” and you really wish to know how it feels to unclog your bowels and wash them “squeaky clean,” you should gird your loins and take the plunge as the first big step on you own “Road to Wellville.”
