Colon Cleansing Pamphlet - P4

Colon Cleansing is the number one activity I recommend detoxify the body. This is mainly because, having seen the poor state of colons from pictures taken during operations and from x-rays, I am certain that keeping the colon working well is something vital that we should all do.

However, the Liver comes a close second in a list of organs which need support when we want to keep detoxification working well. The reason why liver cleansing is second to colon cleansing is that the liver is the most vital organ in the body to take toxins and convert them to harmless substances which can be excreted. It generally does this by split the toxins up and then adding ions to make the part water soluble. Once they will dissolve in water, they can be easily routed to the bowel or kidneys for excretion.

What are toxins?
Toxins are either those naturally occurring from body processes - such as uric acid, which is formed by the activity of muscles; or it can be those from external sources, such as pollution breathed in or traces of chemical fertilizers often found in food. The liver also breaks down and excretes drugs. These might be prescribed drugs; they might also be residues of, for example, antibiotics traces of which are found in farmed meat.

So, although I put the Colon first in importance for cleansing the body - largely because things demonstrably go wrong in the colon for some people; without the liver the colon could not excrete toxins as it does, because it is the liver which enable this to happen.

How Do Toxins Get To The Bowel?
The way that some toxins are routed to the bowel after detoxification by the liver is via the bile. Bile contains substances which 'emulsify' fats - rather like washing up liquid emulsifies oils in the washing up bowl. It also contains toxin breakdown products which the liver channels to the bowel, probably because it cannot get them to the kidneys.

How Do The Kidneys Work?
Many toxin breakdown products can be routed to the kidneys, though, and this is done via the blood stream. The kidneys act as a huge 'colander'. They squeeze out all the components of the blood except the largest particles, which they retain. They then reabsorb, selectively, water, salt, minerals, and other components, as determined by osmosis and by hormones, which the body's systems are constantly adjusting.

This is such a massive and a fantastic job that it is wise to give the kidneys some support periodically. One great way to do this is to follow our excellent 90-day Kidney Programme. 90 days is long enough to give a good, solid amount of support to these vital organs.

The Ideal Detox For The Body
Colon cleansing, liver cleansing and kidney cleansing form an excellent programme of health support which can make sure the body's vital detox functions work as well as they can.
