We could actually compare the function of the colon in our
bodies to a sewer system in a large city. Just
imagine what would happen if the sewers in your
neighborhood became clogged. Within a short time,
the whole area would be filled with filth and an
unbearable stench. This is the same process that
occurs in our bodies when our elimination system is
not functioning properly. When the colon is
congested with stagnant waste, poisons back up into
the system and pollute the inner environment. This
process is called autointoxication (or
self-poisoning).
Every cell of our body is affected by
autointoxication. When the toxins accumulate in the
nervous system, we feel irritable and depressed. We
feel weak if they back up into the heart, bloated if
they reach the stomach, and our breath is foul if
they reach the lungs. If the poisons try to escape
through our skin, rashes and blotches develop, or we
look pale and our skin appears wrinkly. If the
toxins make it to the glands, we feel fatigued,
lethargic; our sex drive may cease and we appear to
look much older than our actual age. If the
autointoxication becomes too severe, we develop
degenerative and life-threatening diseases.
Colon hydrotherapy effectively removes stagnant
fecal material from colon walls, preventing the
build up of these bacterial toxins in the ports and
lymphatic system, resulting in reduced load on the
liver. In addition, the treatment removes mucous,
gas, parasites, and cellular debris, facilitating
peristaltic action and better absorption of
nutrients.
Colon cleansing therapy also increases the water
level and diuretic action. The water from the
hydrotherapy is absorbed, thus increasing the volume
of the blood. Circulation is thereby increased,
resulting in greater bathing of the individual
cells; this dilutes toxins and flushed them out,
relieves uremia and toxemia, increases the
elimination of both kidneys as well as having a
cleansing effect on the skin and the bowels. The
process of colon cleansing assists the
cardiovascular and circulatory systems to be more
efficient.
Colon purification is a serious health condition.
Bacteria are involved in the production of several
vitamins which are absorbed by the large intestine
and stored in the liver (vitamins K and some of the
B vitamins). In addition to vitamins, the colon
absorbs large amounts of water. Unfortunately toxins
of bacterial metabolism also enter the circulatory
system. These toxins are treated by the liver and
excreted by the kidneys. Colon bacteria ferment
starches releasing hydrogen and methane gasses which
are absorbed and excreted through the lungs.
Intestinal toxemia may further result in conditions
such as headaches, allergies, malnutrition as well
as an overall lowering of the immunological defense
mechanism.
Intestinal stasis creates stagnant or putrefactive
conditions and encourages the systemic absorption of
pathogenic bacteria and their toxins. The prolonged
retention of food residues, bile, and other waste
results in increased numbers of bacteria present in
the colon. For example, streptococcus and
staphylococcus, which are a part of the normal flora
of the large intestine can then enter the systemic
circulation and be a potential source of disease.
Some years ago, over 50 of the leading physicians of
Britain met in London and discussed before the Royal
Society of Medicine this problem of autointoxication
caused by a toxic colon.
Twenty-two poisons were identified as originating in
a toxic colon. These identified poisons are,
however, only some of the many types of poisons that
can be found in a toxic colon.
Of course detoxification should not be limited to
the colon. It is equally important to detoxify the
liver, kidneys, arteries, and in general, every cell
in the body. But internal cleansing should start
with the colon, because if this region is kept
unclean, it will contaminate every other part of the
system.
