Your Colon: Is it making you sick or healthy?

By: David T.

We always hear this phrase stated. Many of you are still checking the application of the meaning behind this and how it applies to self. In our society the internal cleansing of the body is seldom elaborated upon or even given the slightest thought of the importance of such. We have been trained to focus on the symptoms the body is manifesting without searching for the cause. If we would examine this procedure, the evidence of all symptoms would be non-existent. With this in mind let us explore the function of the colon and why we think the phrase *Death Begins In The Colon* is correct.


The very function of the colon is to collect all fermentative and putrefactive toxic waste from every part of the anatomy and by the peristaltic waves of the muscles of the colon, remove all solid and semi-solid waste from the body. Simply speaking, the colon is the sewage system of the body and if we fail to keep it clean and functioning properly the waste matter will not be eliminated. The toxic residue will be reabsorbed into our system and cause numerous health problems in the areas of digestion, liver, gall bladder, heart, vision, acne, prostate, body odor, arthritis, putrid gas, headaches, and chronic illness to name just a few. A step beyond this is, of course, degenerative disease.


The colon is a natural breeding ground for bacteria that, in turn, is employed to neutralize, dissipate, avoid and stop a toxic condition from developing in the colon. However, there are two types of bacteria: the healthy scavenging type known as bacci coli and the pathogenic or disease-producing kind. When elimination in the form of regular bowel movements does not occur, then fermentation and petrifaction (toxemia), which could best be defined as the process by which the body re-absorbs the waste back into its system and becomes poisoned from its own waste occurs. Not eliminating properly or being constipated is like having our city garbage collector go on strike for days on end. The garbage piles up, rots, putrefies, begins to smell and then the worms and parasites begin to appear. The same thing happens in our sewage system.


The colon is the culprit to many of our health problems. The cause Simply suppressing what the body is desperately trying to communicate to us is not the answer. If we would only view sickness and disease as an opportunity to listen and heal the body, then we would see sickness as an asset and act upon it to bring harmony to the body.


We can assist in our own healing process in many ways. There is nutritional supplementation, juice and enzyme therapy, change of diet colon hydrotherapy, therapeutic massage and cleansing along with a numerous list of other modalities that I would be happy to assist you with in order for you to take control of your life, your body, and your health. Do not wait to get on the road to Better Health.

How often we have heard this phrase stated? Many of you are still examining the application of the meaning behind this and how it applies to self.
