I find it more than a bit amusing that I’m such a big proponent of colon cleansing because the first couple times anyone brought up the subject around me, my response was something along the lines of, “Um, do you mind if we talk about something else?”
But the flat stomach of the second person who brought it to my attention, got me signed up in a cleansing and detoxification spa a few weeks later. While there, I plugged my nose with toilet paper while colon cleansing and was repulsed at the filth that came pouring out of me. Eventually, I became comfortable with the process, and instead became repulsed at the filth that was inside of me, and also quite determined to get it out of my body.
Although most don’t know it, the average person has ten plus pounds of old and uneliminated fecal matter stuck in their colon and it can take some effort to get it out. Most people also aren’t aware that having so much stored filth in the body is also responsible for many of the health problems that people commonly experience.
For almost a hundred years, esteemed naturopaths have said that all illness begin in the colon. While I still believe this to be true today, these days, most people also have small holes in their colon walls – which allows waste from the colon to escape and reside en masse throughout the entire body.
This is a fairly new predicament for the human population, and it can be attributed to a fungal condition in the body called candida overgrowth. It’s estimated that close to 90 percent of the population has a problem with candida overgrowth, but most don’t know it. Also unfortunately, candida overgrowth is rarely diagnosed, but the symptoms are often given the names of disease.
To give you a quick run down on candida overgrowth, it’s a problem that occurs when the healthy bacteria in the colon (called probiotics) are killed, usually by taking antibiotics, birth control pills, or steroids, and by just generally having a high sugar and refined carbohydrate diet.
With these healthy bacteria that are meant to dine on the yeast candida gone, the yeast that was only meant to reside in our colons in small amounts can now grow to large proportions. In large proportions, the yeast now morphs into a fungus, and often eats small holes right through your colon walls – which allows the filth in the colon to escape and pollute the entire body. This combination, as you can imagine, creates highly toxic people and can be responsible for any number of health problems, including what appear from the outside to be emotional problems.
These are just a couple of the reasons colon cleansing and a candida cleanse are so desperately needed. Most people don’t understand how much waste is stored in the average person’s body or how many problems such toxic conditions create in the human body. But when you see it all pour out of you in amounts you never in a million years would have thought possible, the question, “Are we really that toxic?” becomes a bit mute. And when you watch your health problems disappear along with the stored filth, what was actually the cause of the problem also becomes quite clear.
