Your body’s ability to eliminate toxins and wastes determines your entire state of health. Did you know that every cell and organ in your body is designed to bring in nutrition and fuel to survive, and eliminate waste when it’s done? A majority of this waste ends up in your colon. While discussing the body’s intestinal system is not generally a topic people feel comfortable sharing with others, it’s one that cannot be ignored if you want to remain healthy or restore lost health.

The simple truth is that the human body was not designed to handle an overwhelming assault of fried, processed, packaged, microwaved or genetically modified foods. It also can’t handle large amounts of meat, pasteurized and homogenized dairy products, white flour, refined sugar, hydrogenated fats, artificial colours, artificial flavours, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, pesticides, and a host of other indigestible products. All of these items can have a negative effect on your intestinal system and your health.

A healthy gastrointestinal system is absolutely critical for good health. Proper digestion is essential to release the nutrients contained within our foods so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and nourish the body’s cells with life. Proper elimination of metabolic wastes is also essential to keep the system clean and free of morbid wastes. Any malfunction in the digestive process can ultimately lead to a cellular malfunction, which, given enough time, can lead to a complete system malfunction. An estimated 20% of middle-age and older adults have one or more colon polyps. Up to one in five Australians has irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS accounts for more than one of every ten medical visits. Some have stated that every Australian will develop some type of colon disease, polyp, tumour, or colon cancer in his or her lifetime.

If you suffer from any of the following symptoms for an extended period of time, you have reason to be concerned:

A malfunctioning colon impacted with putrefying, fermenting wastes and inadequate healthy flora can become a breeding ground for unwanted microorganisms, such as parasites, viruses, fungus, flukes, and anaerobic bacteria.

What if you were to leave a pile of dirty dishes in the sink with food crumbs and debris lying around your house for an extended period of time? Your home would be invaded by cockroaches, ants, and other microscopic scavengers. Similar things take place in the human body when unwanted waste particles and debris are lying around for extended periods of time without being properly eliminated. It’s time we started putting the same kind of focus on internal cleanliness as we do on external cleanliness.

To compound the intestinal assault, harmful heavy metals and toxins consumed from your diet force the body into another serious protective reaction. The body then creates a mucus film that goes from the tongue straight throughout the intestines in order to stop toxins from making their way into the bloodstream. As more and more toxins come into the body, more mucus will be produced. Over time, this mucus film can become thicker and harder, and eventually wreak havoc within the intestines.

When digestion isn’t working properly, and food and wastes aren’t being eliminated, you run the risk of autointoxication (self-poisoning.) This condition can literally starve the cells in your body by blocking them from receiving their nutrition, eventually causing severe malnutrition. All the supplements in the world will do nothing for your body if the intestinal system is in a state of disarray. Constipation, irregular bowel movements, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, gas, nutritional deficiencies, and other intestinal related problems are in many cases the result of an intestinal system that has been overloaded and is heading for a complete breakdown.
