Cleaning The Colon

I was raised on all manner of white flour foods, animal products and only a small handful of overcooked vegetables. I spent a good portion of first thirty years straining in birth-pains, plagued with chronic constipation and hemorrhoids. Something was not working well at all. Untaught, I assumed the blood and pain was normal until I became educated on health.
After a wonderful fast, I changed to an 80% raw diet. The birth-pains I had learned to live with were forever gone. Today, my stools are soft, light, easily passed with almost no effort. The dread of bowl movements I felt, as a child growing up is gone.
Colon care may not constitute great dinner conversation, yet examining most North American kitchen tables covered with overcooked, fiberless foods, it would be in our best interest to bend over and take a closer look. Of all the vital organs, the one that takes the greatest beating from the hands of our modern diet is the colon. Man made food is not suited for a human colon. A healthy intestine is vital to a healthy body. Eighty-percent of all nutrients from food are absorbed through the intestine. If we eat the way God intended, our colon will remain healthy throughout our life, swept clean by the tiny broom-like fibers in whole foods found in abundance in fruits and vegetables.
There are two types of fiber—soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water. In the blood, soluble fiber helps to lower serum cholesterol by binding with low-density lipoproteins. Water-soluble fiber can be found in apples, oranges, oat bran and beans. Insoluble fiber is the substance in food that cannot be digested or absorbed by the intestine. This category includes pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose and gums. Fiber is found only in plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains. Eggs, dairy products, and meats do not contain any form of fiber.
Studies found that cultures containing a high fiber diet have a much lower incidence of diverticulosis, which affects 30 million Americans. A weakening in the large intestinal wall caused by the pressure from hard feces produces this disease. The American Journal of Digestive Disorders reported that 85% of diverticulosis sufferers were successfully treated with a high-fiber diet.
Fiber cleans out mucus from the intestinal tract and lowers cholesterol, decreasing transit time through the intestine. Cancer of the colon has been attributed to a lack of dietary fiber. Due to there complete lack of fiber, animal products pass through the intestine slowly allowing time for proteins to ferment producing harmful bacteria. This harmful bacterium secretes carcinogenic by-products that can damage the intestine. This is why nutritionists recommend a salad with a meal high in meat or dairy products. The fiber in vegetables is able to increase transit time through the colon, reducing fermentation and neutralizing some of the toxins in the bowel.
Although fiber is important for a healthy diet and a clean colon, during fasting, fiber slows down the healing process and does not allow the digestive system to sleep. If you eat five pounds of raw carrots rather than drink the juice, your body will have to do the work of extracting nutrients and moving the fiber by peristalsis. Allowing the digestive system to rest is essential in healing. For this reason, juice fasts are more effective in healing when the intestine is empty of fiber. During a juice fast, it is best to use a strainer to filter the pulp from vegetable and fruit juices.
The process of discharging toxic waste is accelerated during a fast, especially during water or restricted juice fasting. Regular bowel movements are disrupted because of lack of fiber. Therefore the toxic waste discharged into the intestine ferments and can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream causing a cleansing crisis or general irritation. We are going to discuss a number of ways to avoid this problem.
Breaking a fast with fruits and vegetables is vital, the high fiber content acts like a cleaning sponge within the intestine cleaning out any loosened old fecal matter and accumulated toxins deposited during the fast.
Using The Enema Kit
In the 1917 Journal of American Medicine, Dr. Kellogg reported that out of 40,000 cases of gastrointestinal disease, he had adopted surgery in only twenty cases, the rest were helped as a result of cleansing the bowels, diet, and exercise. Enemas are far from being a spiritual experience, although I have had almost miraculous relief during a fasting dip, lying on my side, feeling a wash of clean, warm water enter the colon. The thought of inserting a liter of water into the intestine to flush out waste may seem strange but it is the quickest and most efficient way of removing toxic waste from the intestine. The lymph glands, which line the intestinal wall, absorb and filter fluid from the feces. Flushing water through the colon forces a healing reflex.
When performing an enema at the very start of a fast, water is forced to move around residue fecal obstructions, producing a light cramping sensation. To reduce this discomfort it is advisable to drink a laxative tea or senna tea the day before you begin the fast, helping empty out the colon. Also, I suggest eating a raw diet before starting your fast, replacing hard-packed, dry stool with soft fiber-moistened stool. As the fast continues and the colon empties, enemas become easier, even enjoyable
To operate the enema kit, fill the rubber bladder with unchlorinated water that is at a temperature comfortable to the wrist. Hang the bladder approximately three feet above the floor; this height will create a comfortable water pressure. Release the clamp and allow the first bit of water and air to drain into the toilet. Lubricate the tip of the nozzle. Lay on your left side and gently insert the nozzle into the rectum. The release clip will control water flow. As water moves up the intestinal tract, you may feel slight cramps. This is normal. If cramps become uncomfortable, press clip to stop the flow. Relax for a moment, you can gently massage the lower stomach area. This massaging assists in releasing hardened mucus in the intestinal folds. When cramps subside, release the clip again. Make sure you have close access to a toilet for at least twenty minutes in case there is additional discharge. I lay on the bathroom floor, giving the family good notice the washroom will be occupied for about twenty minutes.
I use the kit on the first, third and fifth day, then as needed. When I say as needed, I refer to the fasting dips where an enema can help almost immediately, proving how effective they are in washing out built-up toxins in the colon. Starting my fast with an enema seems to help with hunger pangs and solidifies the beginning of my fast, helping to shut down the digestive system.
When the intestine is emptied the digestive enzymes are able to work on the hardened deposits in the corners and folds. As fasting continues, more embedded toxins are released. You can fast 40 days on water and still release toxins and impacted feces embedded in your colon. The cleansing process works best when the intestine is empty of food. Enemas are valuable in other situations such as food poisoning, diarrhea, constipation or sickness.
Chlorinated water can harm the colon's beneficial bacteria. If tap water is your only alternative, replace the intestinal bacteria after the fast. We will talk about this a little later in the chapter.
Phylum Husk and Flaxseeds
For those who are uncomfortable with using the enema kit, phylum husk is an alternative. You can safely juice fast for extended periods using phylum husk. Phylum swells into a soft gel when mixed with water. This gel absorbs toxins and speeds up the transit time of waste through the intestine assisting the reduction of toxic build-up during juice fasting. Phylum clings to the colon wall, softening and loosening years of impacted waste matter. Phylum contains a demulcent, which is an agent that soothes and protects the lining of the intestine. It also reduces occasional diarrhea that may occur from fruit juices. The phylum eliminates constipation during the breaking of the fast.
Add two teaspoons of whole phylum husk (available at health food stores), to a large glass of water. Mix well and drink immediately or you will end up with a glass of gel. A drawback of using phylum is it can slow down the healing process and may trigger digestion, causing hunger. Use phylum only when needed. The enema kit is still the best for assisting healing.
Colon-Cleansing Formulas
These are mixtures of several dietary fibers, both soluble and insoluble. They may include various herbs that have a cleansing effect on the colon. These are superior to phylum husk, but are more expensive and range in prices from $10 to $30.
Laxatives
Fruits and fruit juices have a natural laxative effect, especially to a digestive system accustomed to a high animal diet. The soft fibers have a cleansing effect on the intestine. This laxative effect stops after the colon happily adjusts to the soft fibers. (If fruit juices cause excessive diarrhea during fasting, use phylum or the enema to eliminate the problem.)
Prune juice or senna teas are natural and safe laxatives and are very useful at the beginning of a fast. I have a friend who will not use the enema kit and instead when detoxification hits hard, drinks a mug of senna tea, finding relief within hours. Find senna tea under the name of Laxative tea in better grocery stores and health stores.
If you choose herbal laxatives, never take them for prolonged periods for they can result in dependence and a weakened bowl.
Intestinal Bacteria Replacement
Inside a healthy lower intestine are billions of beneficial intestinal bacteria or microflora. These bacteria are of the acidophilus and bifidus strains and were transferred by breast-feeding into our intestines as newborn infants.
The body uses acidophilus and bifidus in the final stages of digestion reproducing themselves in total harmony with the body. Toxins, especially drugs, can damage or destroy these beneficial bacteria, allowing harmful bacteria to take over producing by-products like ammonia, purines and ethionine, which can cause cancer. Deficiencies of beneficial bacteria are common especially after heavy use of antibiotics, narcotics or after a severe bout of diarrhea. The devitalizing effect caused by harmful bacteria in the intestine is rarely diagnosed. Headaches, skin infections, weakness and constipation can be symptoms of depleted intestinal bacteria.
Fasting can also deplete the beneficial bacteria because of the large quantities of toxins dumped from the lymph glands into the colon and the absence of food that the bacteria thrive on. Using the enema kit also depletes the beneficial bacteria, especially if chlorinated water is used.
To re-establish intestinal bacteria, purchase plain yogurt with the correct lacto-bacteria content such as President’s Choice or Astro's Biobest. Most other brands will not work because the culture is the type found in animals' intestines. Also, Acidophilus and bifidus capsules are available in health food stores. Mix one tablespoon of yogurt or 2 capsules with one-half cup of water. You may add some warm water but do not heat the mixture or use chlorinated water. After blending the mixture, add to the enema kit. Use less water and try to retain within the colon for ten minutes allowing the beneficial bacteria to pass up through the intestine. This procedure will ensure a healthy culture will propagate.
Acidophilus and Bifidus capsules are heavily encapsulated to prevent destruction of the bacteria by stomach acids. On the day before you break the fast, before eating, swallow two capsules with a glass of warm water. Repeat this once a week. It will take four days for the bacteria to reproduce themselves into a healthy culture.

Enemas and Weight Loss
Many people are amazed that they can lose 3 to 7 lbs. after a good, enema series some people have even reported more.
Declining levels of healthy bacteria in most people’s intestinal tracts, are due to not only the lack of fermented foods in the diet, but also to an overuse of antibiotics a lack of organically grown food in the diet, and an excessive consumption of carbohydrates, all encourage an overgrowth of toxin-producing organisms.Enemas can be used daily when cleansing or detoxifying. It takes time to rid the colon of a lifetime of waste! Using oral bulk fiber cleansers will also help ensure your colon is getting a good cleansing plus help increase colon muscle tone. A good enema is a great way to exercise your colon muscles. Also, increasing whole grains, vegetables and fresh fruits into your diet will increase fiber.If you don't like drinking the fiber mixture, Then get your fiber in capsule form.
Constipation is largely caused by an overgrowth of unhealthy microbes. Stool is largely the byproduct of the life cycle of healthy bacteria. When a colon is overgrown with unhealthy microbes, it is almost impossible for the body to produce a healthy, daily bowel movement.
Some whare along the line bowel management got lost and became a taboo subject, even though a large portion of the diseases in civilization are due to improper functioning of the bowel. For years enemas have been the secret trick used by models and actresses to flatten their tummy before an event. With a good enough diet enemas might not be needed. (but can never hurt) However, most people (even those who purport to do so) do not have a good diet most of the time. The thought of sitting with all of that rotting, putrified matter day after day are enough to assure that a twice weekly enema cannot be harmful. Try it you will shortly feel lighter and much better.

The Truth about Hemorrhoids
You Can Stop Suffering Now!
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are the swollen or inflamed veins found in the lower rectum. There are basically two types of hemorrhoids, the internal and external ones. Hemorrhoids can happen to anyone; there are though some people who are prone to this kind of ailment. One of the usual culprits is constipation. When you have constipation problems, the accumulated stool puts pressure on the rectal veins. Once the veins get irritated, they get inflamed and swollen. If that happens, you are most likely to have hemorrhoids.
Straining during the bowel movement is not the only cause though. The increased pressure during pregnancy is also among the causes. What we don’t know is that our bad eating habits can cause us numerous problems; excessive weight or cardiovascular diseases are not the only results of eating unhealthy and heavy foods; a diet loaded with foods rich in fat and empty calories are a serious risk factor. Increased amounts of sugar, fat and grease reduce the strength and durability of veins. Stools are also deprived of the necessary help so as to pass easily; people who eat junk food on a regular basis, or those who avoid the consumption of fibers are prone to hemorrhoids as well.
What Can You Do?
Whichever type of hemorrhoids you have you need to treat them as soon as possible; there is no reason to suffer more. Prolonged delay in treatment can result in great deal of discomfort and aggravation. If you treat them properly and on time, you will avoid surgery or other inconvenient and embarrassing situations.
No matter how embarrassing you may find the topic, hemorrhoids are a painful and existing reality for thousands of people all over the world. It is considered to be one of the most common ailments, raiding at least the 50% of adults up to the age of 60.
The Truth about Hemorrhoids
Do you know that there are serious dieting mistakes that you can make and harm yourself? Do you know that hemorrhoids symptoms might aggravate just because of them? I guess nobody told you about those things… I know… Nobody told me either. But now I know and I am here to share the secrets with you.
LEARN THE MISTAKES THAT CAN WORSEN AND INTENSIFY THE SYMPTOMS
Eating processed food: It is understandable that people today do not have time to cook or prepare a meal for themselves. They end up eating junk food, or things loaded with empty calories that offer them nothing and cause serious problems to their digestive system. Did you know that processed food is the number one culprit for hard and dry stools? Constipation and excessive weight is mostly observed to people who eat junk food, avoiding a healthy diet and lifestyle. The key is to find sometime so as to prepare a good meal for you and your family.
Modern Lifestyle: Most people today spend the biggest part of the day sitting; whether they work or are at home watching TV, most people spend at least three quarters of the day sitting; the sedentary lifestyle of our times helps to the accumulation of pressure on the bottom; this makes the veins finer and thinner, unable to withstand pressure after some time. This creates the ideal environment for the hemorrhoids to occur, if more than one condition co-exists.
Creams and medication: Doctors suggest us to buy creams or medication; everybody does the same but the problem is that we lack the needed knowledge on all these pharmaceuticals products. The majority of those products cause a serious number of side effects; some of them are directly associated to them, while some others are hidden ones and act secretly against our immune system and help. These products do not cure the root of the problem; they just offer temporary relief from symptoms, but they do not address the cause; therefore most of the people who use them are most likely to suffer from the same problem again and again.
If you are tired of the pills and creams that do nothing for you…
If you are sick and tired of avoiding social events and normal activities…

What you don't know about the Master Cleanse
The results people are getting with the Master Cleanse seem amazing, but there's something about the Master Cleanse nobody is telling you.
It has nothing to do with the results you'll get because you CAN see some really amazing things happen to your body in those 10 days you spend on the Master Cleanse.
The Master Cleanse Is Not Easy
With all the incredible benefits you get by doing the Master Cleanse people are overlooking that it's kind of hard to stay on it for 10 days.
Even with the excitement of waking up and seeing your belt one notch tighter then the night before, or feeling light and energized all day, staying motivated for the whole 10 days can be hard.
That's the bad news. The good news is there's a book that makes the Master Cleanse a little easier.
That's right, this book will make the 10 days you spend on the Master Cleanse "a little easier". I wish there was a way to make the Master Cleanse super easy but that's impossible.
But just by helping you deal with the hunger and some of the other roadblocks that pop up during the Master Cleanse this book has helped ordinary people who might not have lasted a day on the Master Cleanse make it through the entire 10 days.
PS. I don't know how long this will last, but right now when you pick up a copy of that Master Cleanse book you'll also get a report called "Optimizing Your 4 Purification Systems" that can give you similar results to the Master Cleanse. And unlike the Master Cleanse "Optimizing Your 4 Purification Systems" is very easy for anyone to do.
3 Rules For Finishing The Master Cleanse
If you are not prepared for what you'll experience when you do the Master Cleanse there's a good chance you'll fail. Typically lasting just 10 days, it's easy to see why people just "jump right in" to the Master Cleanse thinking it will be easy. It's not.
During your time on the Master Cleanse you are likely to experience hunger, aches, and irritability. Most people give up because of hunger. Putting solid food aside for a couple days and only drinking liquids is harder then most people think. Even though the cravings for whole foods can be difficult they do subside after a few days on the Master Cleanse.
So rule number 1 for finishing the Master Cleanse is getting past the third day. Instead of focusing on completing the entire 10 days from the onset of the cleanse just focus on getting past day 3. Breaking the Master Cleanse down into smaller milestones will be a big help.
Rule number 2 for finishing the Master Cleanse is dealing with aches and soreness. Headaches are one of the most common Master Cleanse side effects, but some people also get body aches. To reduce aches you should drink a lot of water. It's also good to relax and not push your self too hard when you do the Master Cleanse. Exercising should be kept to light walking and stretching. Your body will be going through a rigorous cleansing process during the Master Cleanse, and won't be able to adequately recover from intense exercise during this time.
Rule number 3 for finishing the Master Cleanse is overcoming irritability. This affects the people around you more then it does yourself, but it's something you need to be aware of before starting the Master Cleanse.
It's best to let the people around you know that you're going to be doing the Master Cleanse ahead of time so they can do their best to accommodate you. Also try to plan your Master Cleanse when you're not too busy. Most of us can't just take 10 days off to do the Master Cleanse, but you should try to avoid doing it when you're swamped at work, or have other stressful events going on in your life.
There's more to succeeding at the Master Cleanse then I can cover in this small article.
Large Intestine Dysfunction and Colon Problems
Our large Intestine were intended by nature to function as a smoothly flowing colon sewer systems in order to promptly flush digestive wastes from the body.
Unfortunately over the years this colon sewer systems tends to become blocked with materials, causing all sorts of problems to the physical, mental and spiritual body.

Slow transit time can cause large intestine dysfunction. Ideally, food that enters your body should pass through within 16-36 hours. If not gas, putrefaction and fermentation can set in. Causes of slow transit time can be lack of roughage in the diet, not drinking enough water, eating in between meals, eating too many refined foods. If your transit time is over 36 hours, you may have a colon problem (or it could be elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract). To check your transit time chew 10 charcoal tablets before a meal, record the time you ingested them. Watch your faeces and record the time the last of the charcoal leaves (should appear black). The time between ingestion and the last bit leaving is your transit time. After you’ve been treating your colon for 1-2 months you may want to recheck and see if it has improved.
A diet low in roughage and high in refined carbohydrates can also cause diverticulitis (out-pocketing of the colon caused by hardened faeces and the extra strain to move them), constipation, and bacterial changes (due to the fermentation and putrefaction).
People on a high fiber diet have lactobacillus and streptococcus as their main intestinal flora. On a low fiber diet, E. coli proliferate (especially if your refined carbohydrate intake - white flour, white sugar, etc., is high) can lead to diverticulitis, cystitis, appendicitis, gallbladder inflammation. Antibiotics can also change the bacterial flora for the worse.
In a colon with a slowed transit time, bacterial imbalance, and low roughage, bile acids upon reaching the colon can be converted into carcinogenic substances. Staying in contact with the colon walls for long periods of time, these substances can possibly be a cause of colon cancer. Toxins, poisons, and free radicals from the plaque itself and from pathogenic bacteria and parasites living in and under the plaque constantly seep into the bloodstream and lymph, settling in the weaker areas of the body, especially the liver, kidneys and spleen.Bile acid breakdown products (lithocholates) also signals the liver to decrease bile acid production. Since cholesterol is used to synthesize bile acids, a decreased synthesis will raise cholesterol levels and also increase susceptibility to gallstones.
People in "primitive" societies on diets of unrefined foods exhibit very low incidences of colon problems.
Causes of colitis include adrenal insufficiency, a weak immune system, diminished secretion of hydrochloric acid, decreased roughage, increased use of refined carbohydrates, stress, antibiotics, eating food you’re allergic to.
Besides an imbalance in intestinal flora, a high fat intake is correlated to a high incidence of colon cancer. This includes refined animal and vegetable fat. Meat fat when exposed to air can form malonaldehyde (commonly found in rancid foods) which is especially suspect of causing colon cancer. Spices, beer, high protein diets, and alcohol are also suspect in colon cancer.
Nerve pressure in the lumbar spine can cause colon dysfunction
Haemorrhoids can be caused by a congested liver, adrenal insufficiency and a low roughage, high refined carbohydrate diet.
If your stomach or small intestine are malfunctioning or you don’t chew well, and partially undigested food reaches the colon, it will putrefy and can damage the colon as a result
Diarrhea can be a sign of colon dysfunction. It can also be due to eating something you’re allergic to, a ileocecal valve that is not closing properly, vitamin B deficiency, medication side effects. It could also be your body’s effort to flush through a harmful substance as quickly as possible.
Constipation can injure the colon or be a sign of a malfunctioning colon. Causes include a low roughage diet, food allergys, wearing restrictive clothing, not drinking enough water, lack of exercise, chronic use of laxatives exhausting bowel tone, spastic ileocecal valve, worrying, side effect of certain medications.
Voluntarily inhibiting your external sphincter muscle too often, to prevent defecation, can cause constipation and retard the reflex, leading to an atonic (out of shape) colon. Establishing regularity is very important in preventing constipation.
The thyroid, adrenals, liver and parathyroid should also be evaluated by your health practitioner in cases of constipation as possible causes.
Some also believe that a bowel movement should occur regularly, aiding and abetting nutritional cycles. Infrequent movements or periods of constipation (especially those extending beyond 72 hours) can result in a partial decomposition of waste, which can encrust the colon walls and hinder elimination.
When we don't eliminate our waste, toxins back up in the colon which can cause "auto-intoxication", or self-poisoning. This occurs when the bowel walls become encrusted with uneliminated fecal matter, hampering the absorption of vital nutrients and providing a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. Blood capillaries lining the bowel wall absorb these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all our organs and cells. When the walls of the colon are packed (or lined) with accumulated faeces, the colon cannot absorb nutrients or eliminate wastes properly. Food cannot be processed efficiently in the colon, if unfriendly bacteria begins to grow. Fermentation and putrefaction of undigested food results, and toxins (poisons) are formed.
There are some 36 poisons that pollute the body. They include indole, skatole, phenol, creosole, putrescine, cadaverine, sepsin and others. In cases of alimentary toxemia, one or several of these poisons are constantly bombarding the delicate body cells. This can cause disease, one of which is the dreaded colon cancer.

Signs of Colon Problems
If the bowel is overworked or malfunctioning, the body will try to find other areas of elimination, thus skin and other organ problems can all be symptoms. Here is just a short list:
Allergies
Appendicitis
Poor appetite
Back and muscle aches
Bad breath and body odors
Coated tongue
Bloating
Increased cholesterol levels
Colitis or inflammation of the colon is marked by fever, weight loss, weakness, abdominal pain, diarrhea. Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining of the intestines can lead to both diarrhea and constipation.
Constipation: The infrequent or difficult elimination of faeces, associated with the presence of dry hardened stools. Constipation can lead to intestinal toxemia, which is a form of blood poisoning caused by the absorption of bacteria and their toxins through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.
Diarrhea: (frequent passage of watery bowel movements)
Digestive difficulties
Diverticulitis: little pockets (small herniations) formed in the weakend colon wall that push out into the side of the bowel. Fecal material lodges in the pockets to rot and irritate the colon. If they inflame it is called diverticulitis and symptoms can include acute pain, tenderness, diarrhea or constipation, fever.
Eyesight problems, such as sunken eyes, swollen eyes, poor eyesight,
Fatigue
Gallstones
Headaches
Haemorrhoids are actually varicose veins in the rectal area. They can be marked by pain, itching, bleeding, and distention upon straining to defecate. Straining to eliminate hard, dry fecal material can irritate the rectum and give rise to haemorrhoids.
The flora of the colon can become imbalanced which can manifest as a burning pain somewhere in the body, especially the feet.
Inflammation: Toxic material in the colon can inflame the lining. If you have any doubt that this material is injurious to the body consider a little baby and how you have to keep its diaper changed. If its bowel movement sits too long against its tender skin, the skin becomes red, irritated and inflamed. The body is pushing it out because it is toxic and irritating. That is why it is important for bowel elimination to be quick and efficient.
Irritable bowl: A disturbance of the intestinal contractions that move food down the intestinal tract. This disorder cases constipation, gas, colitis, diarrhea and pain.
Lethargy
Memory loss
Moodiness and irritability
Sallow skin
Skin rash
Sinusitis
Spastic Colon Muscular spasms in the colon can cause constipation. This makes the elimination pattern erratic, with alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation. Stress will increase constipation.
Stiff joints (especially knees),
Stomach heaviness
Weight problems (overweight)
Allergies
Appendicitis
Poor appetite
Back and muscle aches
Bad breath and body odors
