Is Colon Cleansing Really
Necessary?
Revised 2007
Can scientists prove the benefits of colon
cleansing?
Well... not really. In fact,
they argue about it. You'll just have to make your own mind
up!
A major factor to consider with
colon cleansing is that...
A Little Bowel Regularity Is
Not Enough for Detox
If you go to the
doctor they will often say that one bowel movement a day
- or every two days or three days - is OK. We strongly
disagree as this holds up detox.
The colon - and the bladder -
are the 'sewage systems' of the body. They need to be working
efficiently to get waste products out of the body and so allow
detox to happen.
Food waste should be eliminated
as quickly as possible - and that means 2-3 times a day. If not,
colon cleansing is
necessary.
A measure of control over our anal sphincter muscles is
socially necessary, but we shouldn't take it to extremes, which
inhibits detox.
When you feel the urge to go -
you should go. And that urge should happen about as often as you
eat. We help to attain this desirable state through
colon
cleansing.
A good rule of thumb
is:
You Should Have The
Same Number Of Bowel Movements A Day As Meals You
Eat.
If you eat twice a day - two
bowel movements. If you eat three times a day - three.
Animals don't hold on to their
food waste for the day. Some may think of them as unsophisticated
in this respect; but it is really 'good and healthy'. We didn't
used to over-control our bowel movements when we were
hunter-gatherers - we 'went' in the woods whenever we felt the
urge.

A Major
Benefit of Colon Cleansing
One of the big health benefits
of
colon cleansing comes
from the fact that it can get people 'going' around as often as
they eat. The main herb to achieve this is cascara sagrada. This
should be taken not - as it was often used years ago - in large
amounts at night to produce a bowel movement next morning: but
in smaller amounts and combined with other herbs, and
with each meal.
There are a number of
combination herbal colon cleansing products to help you achieve this regularity,
generally based on the formula of Dr Christopher. To make best use
of the formula take it with each meal, increasing it if necessary
until you get to 2-3 bowel movements a day, if that is not already
happening.
Once this has been achieved,
most people find they can then reduce the amount of the herbal
product herbs being taken and maintain the same bowel regularity -
2-3 times a day. After a time - which might be 6 months - the
body will maintain the '2-3 times a day' regime by itself. If not,
continue for another couple of months, then try cutting down on the
herbal formula, or leaving it off. Eventually it should
work.
You can also find a herbal
formula of the type mentioned being combined with other products
for the bowel to make a more comprehensive herbal
'colon
cleansing programme' for 3 months or more.
