Why you need a healthy colon

A toxic colon can...

Weaken and stress your heart.
Cause skin blemishes, paleness, psoriasis, liver spots and wrinkles.
Irritate the lungs and cause bad breath.
Affect the brain, disturb mental functions and cause senility.
Cause pain and stiffness in the joints and contribute to arthritis.
Cause muscle weakness and fatigue.
Rob you of your youth, ruin your wellness and cause premature aging.
Many experts believe that all diseases begin in the colon! Not only does the decaying food produce toxic substances and provide a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, but it also blocks the intestine from absorbing good nutrients. This all leads to an unhealthy body.

Over time, your colon may become unhealthy and lose its ability to properly eliminate all the waste materials from your digestive tract. This is due to a combination of the following: Poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, drug intake, lifestyle and a variety of other factors.

When the human colon becomes less active, the body does not eliminate its waste materials as effectively. Therefore, when the elimination process is not functioning properly, deposits of waste matter build up along the wall of your colon or in the pockets of the colon.

Normally, your body pushes waste out of your colon in 16 to 24 hours. When you're not able to eliminate properly, these wastes remain in your body for days.

Even worse, if some of this waste material deposits along the colon wall, it may not leave for months or even years. Amazingly, these deposits of hardened fecal matter can get to be 2 or 3 inches thick and as hard as tire rubber.

The average healthy person who is not constipated will carry about 5-20 pounds of fecal matter in their intestines and colon at any one time. However, people who are constipated or irregular can be carrying up to 40 pounds or more of this toxic fecal matter, which is continually poisoning their body and organs.

The healthy transit time of food through our body is less than 24 hours.
The National Institute of Health published a survey that showed 4.5 million Americans are constipated most or all the time.
In the USA, over 2.5 million doctor visits per year are made by patients who complain of constipation.
80% of all disease and discomfort is related to a toxic colon - due to impacted fecal matter.

When Do You Need Internal Cleansing?

If this is the first time you've been exposed to this life-changing colon cleanse information, you've probably never considered this simple question: Are you clean inside? Of course you take care of the outside: You shower, brush your teeth and wash your hair on a regular basis, but do you clean yourself inside? In this modern, toxic world it's becoming a simple fact of life that our colon (the ‘sewer system' of the body), liver and other organs also require regular cleaning. Just like a car requires an oil change periodically.

Frequent tiredness and low energy
Flatulence, gas & bloating
