Colon Cleansing Programme - ThailandWhy Do Colon Cleansing?Colon cleansing
in Koh Samui, Thailand sounded
like a great idea in a comprehensive article in the Guardian
newspaper (UK). The centre is still there - a few years later - and
has expanded; clearly, colon cleansing is a growing industry
in that area. It offers complete relaxation, help and support in
your colon cleansing programme and complete removal from day-to-day
pressures. The Theory of DetoxifyingThe theory of detoxification says that bad habits of
living cause bodily toxins - many of them naturally produced - to
accumulate in the tissues and organs. The toxins are normally
eliminated through the colon and the body's other excretory
organs (the excretory organs are listed below). Anything which
stops these organs working at their peak - such as illness, stress,
inherited weaknesses and ageing - causes toxins to accumulate in
the tissues, reducing efficiency of the body. Colon cleansing
and detoxification help to address these
issues.
Unfortunately, the weaker an organ is (whether it is weak through inheritance, or through damage) the more likely it is that retained toxins will settle in the tissues of that organ. This makes it progressively even weaker. If nothing is done to correct the situation - such as detox - then, after a time, symptoms will occur followed by degeneration and disease of the organ or area in question. Colon cleansing strikes at the heart of this issue by reducing the level of toxins in the area where many of them - and many of the most poisonous toxins - are created.
The harm caused by toxins can be reduced by: 1. Reducing the amounts contained in, and caused by, what we take in - mainly the food we eat. To do this, we can reduce or eliminate chemical additives, and maintain the proportion of starches and protein in the diet at a reasonable level - around 25% of the diet. At this level of intake, the acids produced by digested starches and protein can be dealt with effectively by the body. At higher levels naturopaths believe that the acids formed cause extra work for the body, and easily lead to disease. 2. Eliminating the toxins which have already accumulated in the body - which includes ensuring the health and well-being of our "elimination" organs, primarily the kidneys, bowel, skin, lungs. Colon cleansing is important here. The immune system and liver are also strongly involved in helping elimination, so it is important to ensure their good health too.
