Page 3 Of course if any of these symptoms are severe it is wise to consult a professional health care provider, but the cause and cure remain the same. Colon Cleansing There are a number of ways to approach detoxification, some more radical than others. But the main concern is to avoid overloading the organs of elimination resulting in a healing crisis caused by the release of toxins. In colon cleansing, strong non-herbal laxatives are avoided as they generally work by chemically irritating the walls of the colon. Their prolonged use leads to poor muscle tone, faulty peristalsis, and further dependence on laxatives. It is far better to utilize gentle acting powders that form mucilaginous bulk, soften the stool and herbs which stimulate peristalsis, breakdown hardened fecal matter and purge parasites. Some excellent choices are: Psyllium Husk Powder, one of the finest bulking agents available with mucilaginous (lubricating) action, which soothes and cleanses the colon. It is purely vegetable product with no harmful effects and is superior to emulsions, oils, and agar compounds frequently used as laxatives. Bentonite, which is volcanic ash ground into a fine powder that swells to 40 times its dry size when added to water. It has a negative charge and acts like a magnetic sponge which removes bacteria, parasites, and positively charged plague and toxins from the intestinal tract. Butternut Bark, a slow acting remedy for constipation, sluggish liver, colds and flus. It also guarantees no discomfort from painful griping, intestinal spasm, or colic like discomfort making it .one of the most mild and efficacious laxatives which we possess..(Jacob Bigelow, American Medical Botany, Boston. 1817-20.pp.118-19) Black Walnut has removed millions of tapeworms and other parasites, cured old ulcers, boils, itch and all kinds of skin eruptions, eye diseases, liver and bowel diseases, hemorrhoids, prolapsed and ballooned intestines, varicose veins, and in fact seems to be a panacea for human ailments. Chronic conditions require treatment for a considerable time to produce the desired results. Chinese Rhubarb Root has many of the constituents found in cascara and senna but is a better laxative. It can also reduce cancer tumors, blood pressure, and inflammation and is valuable for treating chronic diarrhea. Chinese Licorice Root stands next to ginseng in importance in Chinese herbalism. It is believed to drive out all poisons and toxins from the system and to eliminate the side effects of other herbs used with it. Licorice root relieves abdominal pain and congestion, benefits the abdominal organs, increases peristalsis, and regulates the bowels. Laboratory tests in China have demonstrated that its extracts can help to eliminate or detoxify over 1,200 known toxins including the intoxification due to bad food, drugs, and alcohol. This remarkable capacity as a detoxifying agent is unparalleled in the realm of pharmacology. A complete colon cleansing program utilizes many elements. First of all eating habits must be changed to improve digestion and assimilation. Sufficient water must be consumed to flush the system and promote complete evacuation of the colon. Herbs and cleansing powders must be utilized to slowly break down and clear out impacted matter in the colon. The application of warm sesame oil to the abdomen helps loosen deposits in the colon. A cup at a time can be also injected rectally and left overnight. These above mentioned herbal elements can be found in one product; Li Chung Yun natural Herb Powder. If this is unavailable, a well proven colon cleansing program is sold by Yerba Prima as well as others available at your local health food store. Intestinal Flora The body relies on the presence of bacteria such as lactobacillus bifidus and acidophilus to complete digestion in the colon as well as protect the body from the action of harmful bacteria like E. Coli or yeast such as candida. If antibiotics or colonics (colon hydrotherapy) remove the beneficial bacteria, E Coli or candida can multiply causing intestinal gas as well as long term health problems. Lactobacillus bifida and acidophilus can be obtained in capsule form at your health food store or added to intestinal cleansing powders. After a series of colonics (colon hydrotherapy) or colemas, the liquid lactobacillus culture can be added to an enema and retained in the colon long enough to implant the bacteria culture. Colonics (Colon Hydrotherapy), Enemas, and Colemas Once herbs and mucilaginous bulk powders have begun to loosen and break up impacted fecal matter, rapid results can be obtained by flushing the colon with water. A colonic (colon hydrotherapy) is very effective; it fills the entire colon with water under pressure and needs to be applied by a skilled technician. Enemas are also effective and can be safely administered at home. Colemas involve the use of a colema board, large holding vessel for water and an insert into the anus connected by tubing, which allows for continuous flooding of the colon. The benefit of a colema is that it allows for regular contractions of the colon and expulsion of matter past the very thin insert. This action exercises and strengthens the colon considerably. All of these methods are very effective; the choice should be based on personal preference and the availability of professional services. Colon cleansing can also be carried out in conjunction with fasting, but it is better to seek out professional advice and monitoring before attempting a long-term fasting program. Most people can benefit by utilizing the herbal cleansing programs with an occasional enema. This is a time proven system, which acts slowly, but is very effective and can be carried out without interfering with work or play. |
