About the COLON

The prime functions of the colon are elimination, detoxification, and manufacture of vitamins by friendly gut bacteria. These functions are all to a greater or lesser extent compromised in people eating typical Western diets.

When the capacity of the colon to evacuate or detoxify is overwhelmed, toxins are reabsorbed into the body where they place a burden on your other organs of elimination - the liver, lungs, kidneys and the skin. There are many possible effects of the resultant auto-toxaemia, from headaches to serious acute illness. Aside from the direct symptomatic effects, toxaemia places a large burden on your immune system, thus increasing your susceptibility to any illness or disease process.

It is estimated that 80% of all critical illnesses result from colon malfunction.

The colon, or large intestine, is a vital part of the digestive system. In the average individual it is approximately 5 feet in length, and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. The colon is responsible for many functions in the body, amongst which are the elimination of waste (both faeces as well as excretions of toxins), absorption of water and electrolytes, and the manufacture of various vitamins by 'friendly' bacteria in the colon.
In an ideal world, the colon should be a self-cleansing organ, as should all organs within the body - provided that they are allowed or enabled to do so by their owner. Modern day eating habits, as well as stress and other factors, all inhabit this self-cleansing ability of the bowel.
In Western society where high consumption of meat, dairy products, wheat, processed foods, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco are the norm, and consumption of water, fruit, vegetable, unrefined grains and other high fibre foods are often minimal.

Don’t be poisoned by your colon!
