Good Morning! How Is Your Colon This Morning?!

Does Cleansing The Bowel Improve General Health?

Do you ever wake up feeling sluggish, groggy, dull and listless?  Does your skin have a greyish hue, and your eyes and hair have no sparkle and shine?  Do you every wonder why?  Perhaps you think it’s because you had a late night, or you had too much alcohol to drink.  However, have you ever considered that it may be because your bowel is full of waste matter causing putrefaction and fermentation, and these ‘toxins’ may be ‘poisoning’ your body?

Headaches, fatigue and many common skin problems are very often due to intestinal toxaemia, and this can spread throughout the body, literally ‘poisoning’ your organs, tissues and blood. Cleansing of the colon usually helps to correct such health-robbing disturbances. However, there are many types of  ‘colon cleansing’, and the public can become very confused on this subject. There are colon cleansing tablets, capsules, drinks, and enemas, but none of these can hold a candle to the ‘gold’ standard method of cleansing the colon and that is, of course, colonic hydrotherapy/irrigation.

If your goal is vibrant health, then the colon  is one area of your body that you must not neglect. Schedule regular colonoscopy to detect any irregularities before they get worse. If you suffer with constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, excessive flatulence, indigestion etc etc., then I’m sure you will already be suffering with some of the ailments I’ve listed above.  To eliminate these once and for all, then a correctly functioning digestive system and colon is vital.

Experience has taught me that for any detox regimes and healing procedures to be successful, colon hydrotherapy treatments must be an integral part of any such health treatment plan. As long as there is material in the colon that is breeding excessive amounts of endotoxins, putrefaction and fermentation, full, vibrant health will never be achieved, regardless of age.

The prolonged retention of faecal matter and endotoxins in the colon may accumulate to such an extent as to stretch the walls of the colon to double, even treble its size.  This can, in turn, create a weakness within the walls of the bowel, whereby balloon-like pouches develop (diverticula) and faecal matter can become trapped within these pouches, becoming potential sites for infection and sepsis.

Not only that, if the thick beneficial bacteria-rich mucosal lining of the bowel has been compromised, then the endotoxins may leak out through the bowel wall, and ‘poison’ the liver and blood.  This is known as gut hyper-permability or ‘leaky gut.

It’s pointless to begin any kind of cleansing or detox programme, without first cleansing the bowel.  Disease and illness robs you of your freedom and independence. Don’t ever underestimate the importance of a correctly functioning digestive system and bowel when it comes to good health. It is also important to schedule a colonoscopy procedure as frequently as your doctor advises.

A naturopathic colon hydrotherapist will not only carry out colonoscopy procedure and colon hydrotherapy treatments, but will also advise on diet, lifestyle and certain supplements (including probiotics, digestive enzymes and certain herbs) to help heal, repair and restore the bowel to full health.
