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.

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.

Fresh fruit & veg: a great source of natural fiber, to help 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.
