Colon Cleanse

A healthy person should have 2-3 bowel movements a day, but the average person have a bowel movement every 2-3 days. Therefore, in fact, the average person are constipated without knowing it.

If you are bloated, pass gas more often than you should and even over weight, than chances are your colon isn't in optimal shape. Most people lose 3 - 15 pounds just by cleansing their colon.

In other words, if you are not feeling healthy and energized everyday, then you are not fine. Feeling tired and beat on a daily basis is not normal. Falling sick every few months is not normal.

If you are one these people, then chances are you NEED colon cleanse. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, father of Kellogg's Corn Flakes believed than the bowel could be the origin of most health problems and maintained that 90% of disease is due to improper functioning of the colon.

"Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." - Vegetarian Times, March, 1998

There are several ways you can cleanse your colon. The more popular methods include over-the-counter enemas and laxatives. These do not need you to visit a doctor's office like colonics or colon hydro-therapy do. Let's explore these alternatives.

Enemas are very effective if administered properly but can only be used OCCASIONALLY. The problem with enema is that many people fail to follow instructions. If you use tap water instead of distilled or pure spring water, it can kill the good bacteria naturally present in your colon AND introduce additional chemicals that are bad for you. Frequent use of an enema can also cause the lower part of your colon to lose its elasticity Even if you do administer an enema according to instructions, it can only cleanse the colon and not the small intestine, where most waste are residing.

Laxatives are worse than enemas. They can damage nerve cells in the colon and causes it to lose the ability to contract. Laxatives are known to dehydrate the body by encouraging water loss, thus causing headaches, insomnia and restlessness among many other side effects. Laxatives, if EVER used, are only a temporary solution. It cannot be used frequently because it may cause dependence. What you want is a healthy colon that works properly, not dependency.
Colonics are great, has no side effects and cleans thoroughly. However, they are costly and once-off. Meaning, your body can go back to its previous state after 3 weeks or so without a colonic. Therefore you'll have to do this continuously, at least once every few weeks. If you can afford it, then please give this a try and you'll see the health benefits it can produce. It is important to note that colonics only help clear the waste out but doesn't help your body in other way.

My personal preference though is cleansing programs. Cleansing programs are awesome because it is inexpensive, relative to colonics, and it is effective. Cleansing programs can help the body to rejuvenate while at the same time detoxify your colon. However, it is NOT an alternative to a healthy lifestyle and diet. You will have to change your lifestyle while doing the program, which last about a week or so.

It has worked for me and I am sure it will for you too.
