Here's some lifesaving advice that's easy to digestby Martin Zucker
...as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material. ...the longer the end products of digestion stay in our system, the smaller they get and the more difficult they are to expel. Eventually the colon turns into a waste dump for toxins, harmful bacteria and carcinogens--a breeding ground for organ malfunction and disease... Colonicsby Thomas Dorman MD ...colon therapy is not mysterious, is a useful adjunct to detoxification in a variety of illnesses in which the accumulation of toxins plays a major or contributory role to a person's ill health; therefore, washing the lining of the bowel is just as sensible as maintaining cleanliness in other parts of ourselves and, in the modern living environment, there is a tendency for the accumulation of toxins, increased constipation, increased concentration of the residue in the bowel because of a shortage of roughage in the diet; thus cleaning and irrigation is an advantage. Colonic treatmentby Hillary Hitt As we get older and the mucoid plaque builds up, the signs of aging come on rapidly. One of the first signs is bad posture as the nerves in the spine become numb due to the lack of peristalsis or nerve tone in the colon. As every nerve in the body connects to the spinal cord and to the colon, there is a strong correlation... "colonics have an invigorating effect on the cells of the colon, just as exercise does on the muscles, with an increase in oxygen utilization." Activation of the 4th kidney and beyond by Dirk Yow Another advantage to colonics is the stimulation of other body systems such as the kidneys and venous (blood) circulation. Again, this is much more efficient than circulating water with an enema. Most importantly, you can speed up the body's ability to clean the blood by relieving the liver and immune system congestion. Not only is the colon the fourth kidney, but in terms of sheer volume of hydration and excretion it is potentially by far the biggest! Colonic irrigationby Patricia Skinner Anyone suffering from gas, bloating, cramping pains, acne and other skin complaints, arthritis, and a list of bowel complaints such as diverticulitis and irritable bowel etc., may benefit from colonic irrigation. In particular, cancer patients are often advised to undertake a course of colonic irrigation sessions as an essential part of their treatment. When a biological cancer therapy begins to enable the body to breakdown a cancerous mass, it is essential that speedy and effective elimination of the resulting toxins is achieved. Colon and bowel cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and alternative practitioners insist that it can be prevented by efficient hygiene procedures. Providing that care is taken to replace the natural organisms that flourish in the bowel, many health benefits can be expected from colonic irrigation. In general, alternative practitioners maintain that an ill-functioning bowel is the source of all disease, and therefore keeping it clean will be an effective protection against this. Removing large amounts of toxic matter relieves the patient and can lead to the alleviation of symptoms such as arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, candidiasis, and a host of other illnesses. Properly executed, colonic irrigation can help restore normal peristaltic action to a sluggish bowel, thus reducing the need for more hydrotherapy treatments over time. In addition, removing the layer of fecal matter which coats the intestines in many individuals allows improved assimilation of the nutrients from foods and can alleviate symptoms of vitamin and other nutrient deficiencies. Many alternative health practitioners consider some form of hydrotherapy for the bowel to be essential in the treatment of degenerative diseases. Colonic irrigation project - Shorts - Brief ArticleBy Jule Klotter Meridian Institute (Virginia Beach, Virginia), a non-profit organization that researches Edgar Cayce health readings, has turned its attention to colonic irrigation. During the first phase of their colonic irrigation project, researchers developed and revised questionnaires to measure the experiences of persons undergoing colonic irrigation at the A.R.E. health services department. Colonic irrigation entails the infusion of warm, filtered water into the rectum to cleanse the large intestine and encourage peristalic action. Although the first recorded use of enemas was in ancient Egypt, irrigation of the entire colon did not start until the late 1800s. In the US, colon therapy was popularized by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. He used colonic therapy, diet, and exercise to treat gastrointestinal patients. Although colonics are still recommended by many practitioners of natural medicine, little research has been done on its effects or safety. Meridian Institute seeks to fill this lack.

It's a gentle internal bath using warm, purified water that can help to shift blockages in your colon, such as undigested food, gas, mucus and toxic substances. It can make you feel lighter, give you more energy and clear up your skin. Devotees swear by it. I was told someone even lost 10lbs after their first treatment. That's a lot of undigested steak...
