Recap of Colon Function

The large intestine (colon) is mainly responsible for storing waste, reclaiming water, maintaining the water balance, and absorbing some vitamins, such as vitamin K.

By the time the chyme has reached this tube, almost all nutrients and 90% of the water have been absorbed by the body.

At this point some electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and chloride are left as well as indigestible carbohydrates known as dietary fiber. As the chyme moves through the large intestine, most of the remaining water is removed, while the chyme is mixed with mucus and bacteria known as gut flora, and becomes feces.

The bacteria break down some of the fiber for their own nourishment and create acetate, propionate, and butyrate as waste products, which in turn are used by the cell lining of the colon for nourishment. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship and provides about one hundred calories a day to the body. The large intestine produces no digestive enzymes — chemical digestion is completed in the small intestine before the chyme reaches the large intestine.

The pH in the colon varies between 5.5 and 7 (slightly acidic to neutral).

A colon cleanse should have a simple purpose to restore this ideal.

Constipation

Without care and attention, the colon loses its ability to create vital cellular nutrients, to absorb water and to remove waste matter from the body. This is a condition commonly known as "constipation".

Constipation is commonly identified as a condition where the fecal matter is so tightly packed together, that bowel movements are infrequent, and occur with effort and straining.

Most people are constipated without realizing it.

Old feces sticks to the walls of the colon. This causes a reduction of nutrient absorption through the walls of the colon. In this society, bowel movements of the chronically constipated ... are looked upon as normal stool!

Most people have no any idea how much old, hardened, fecal matter is lodged within their colons. I have asked several colon hydro-therapists how much fecal matter comes out of a typical session for the first time from a patient that standard American diet his or her whole life. Each one says that the average person has 5 to 20 pounds of accumulated waste matter in their colon that comes out in the first session.

If you unfamiliar with this concept and therapy, you need to understand that one of the preparatory steps to beginning your hydrotherapy session, you are meant to evacuate fully prior to the session. Patients are constantly amazed at what was in them and thought that after evacuating, there couldn't possibly anything left in them. How wrong they are!

It is even more surprising that in subsequent session more and more feces begin to release and eliminate. The color and texture in subsequent session are darker and harder. These are the built-up, hardened waste matter that has been stuck to the colon walls! It takes several cleanings to get this to dislodge.

Though colon irrigation or colon hydro-therapy is not intended for weight loss, like the purpose of this website, when true health is addressed, natural weight loss is a result. Significant loss in weight and fat percentage is a very usual result of colon hydrotherapy. So I am not trying to suggest that this is what you need to do. But merely to show hidden sources of your natural weight loss sabotage.

Constipation, Colon and Toxicity

An unhealthy colon can adversely effect your total health, including all your body systems and lead to the following conditions.

Bowel Toxemia is a problem caused by years of buildup of waste material -- impacted feces, bacteria, fungi, viruses, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms, etc. -- on the colon walls. Can inhibit muscular action causing sluggish bowel movements, constipation, inflammation and very serious disease.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is another problem where toxins from the colon may be absorbed and circulate into the bloodstream. These poisons can impair normal liver, lung and kidney function. A person with this condition will feel tired, ill and weak almost constantly.

Evidence from Colon Hydrotherapy Colon hydrotherapists will tell you that no matter who they are dealing with they will routinely see several pounds of waste matter from the colon in one session. This is waste matter that was impacted and within the colon and yet the person had no idea it was there and did not have any sensation of needing to defecate. This leads one to see the insidious nature of toxic build up within the intestinal tract.

Many times, a people lose weight just through colon hydrotherapy alone. Both through the actual weight of the excess fecal matter that was eliminated and also through detoxification and increased nutrients content.

Different Forms of Colon Cleanse

I truly wish there were a less anecdotal way to describe the benefits of restoring the health of the large intestine. When I used fiber supplements, alkaline foods and proper alkalizing exercise and oxygenation supplements, the feeling was nothing short of euphoric. It was almost intense. But when I got a little more used to it, I remembered that this is what is felt like when I was very young. It was not until this time that is became real to me how degraded my digestive system had become.

I mentioned one type of colon cleanse above and I did so more to explain a point. But hydrotherapy is definitely a great adjunct to protecting your health. As a side benefit, you will probable lose several pounds and with the use of all the principles in this site, you will continue to transform your body and your fat will melt away and your lean muscle will grow.

Colon Cleanse Supplements

The best and most convenient thing to do is to use colon cleanse daily supplements that contain

1. Herbs
2. Fiber
3. Oxygenation supplements

Fasting

It is also helpful to do this in conjunction with fasts. In my "Fasting" section I explain how fasting can be used for weight loss as a reset tool for your over-stressed nervous system and to get it working correctly again. For the colon, you use fasting to reset its function. Your body and its systems can get used to over-compensating and working incorrectly. Fasting correctly is a way to jump start the various system into the way they were meant to work!

Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon Hydrotherapy, AKA high colonics, and colon irrigation. Is also a way to jump start your detox. As I outline in that section, it is what you do before and after a fast and colon irrigation that makes a difference.
