Colonic Cleansing Benefits Women's Colon Health
by Nadia Alterio

90% of all sickness and disease begins inside an unclean colon... But colonic cleansing can help your colon health.

Toxins and waste can build up in your colon, just like what happens if you never clean the sewer pipes in your home. Both need a thorough cleansing from time-to-time, or the results could be disastrous.

Colon cancer is second only to lung cancer, in terms of cancer deaths in the United States — claiming the lives of nearly 50,000 men and women annually.

Have you ever said to yourself, "I'm not constipated, or backed-up... I go to bathroom once or twice a day... There's no way I need a colon cleansing!"

Oh really — How can you be so sure?

You body's elimination systems may be toxic right now, and you don't even know it!

The Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy

The colon plays a remarkable role in our body's health. The condition of our colon has very significant effects on every organ in the human body and on our sense of well being in general.

Despite what you may think, or what appears to be normal daily bowel movements, many people are unaware that they need a good colon cleansing. Many people don't realize, that the complete length of their colon can become compacted with old, hardened fecal matter. What remains is just a narrow channel for small, softer feces to pass through.

Failure to cleanse your colon is like having an internal garbage dumping grounds within you, which is left to accumulate waste for years.

Your colon is the sewage system of your body. If the wastes in your colon are allowed to build up, they will decay and be absorbed through the walls of your colon and into your bloodstream. These toxins can poison your brain and nervous system, so you become depressed, weak, irritable and lethargic.

Your breath can become foul (halitosis) because these toxic poisons accumulate in your lungs. You can become bloated and distressed because these toxins build-up in your digestive tract. Your skin can become sallow and unhealthy, when these same toxins flow freely throughout your bloodstream.

Every organ of your body can be effected... You can start to feel and look older, your joints become stiff and painful, your eyes get weaker and your thinking becomes sluggish. Over time you can lose your zest for life and the joy of living!

Are you and your colon toxic?

Symptoms associated with toxic buildup and constipation:

Maintaining a healthy colon is important... The years of poor dietary habits, stress, little exercise, illnesses, smoking or drinking, pill popping, indigestion, constipation, the use of laxatives, etc., are all very taxing on the colon.

When this becomes overburdening to your colon, it will no longer function as it's supposed to. Undigested food and body wastes accumulate, harden and become fixed into the walls of your colon further hindering complete elimination from the body.

Ever wondered where those excess pounds and inches came from?

Over the years, accumulated fecal matter causes the colon to become distorted in shape as anywhere from 5 to 40 pounds of metabolic waste can accumulate. This puts an unnecessary strain on the surrounding organs, the nervous system and even interferes with the absorption of essential nutrients from the colon.

As time passes and further fecal matter accumulates in the colon, excessive fermentation and putrefaction occurs which leads to the condition known as autointoxication.

The toxins from this accumulated fecal matter are absorbed into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body. This results in a weakening of the body and an open invitation to a whole slew of immune system-related diseases. Structural, functional and metabolic imbalances are manifested in various forms.

The effects of autointoxication and constipation in the colon results in either ballooning, colitis, diverticulitis, mucosal dysfunction, spastic bowel, strictures and ulceration.

Having a toxic colon, may effect the number of colds and flu you get, and it can reduce your body's ability to recover from these illnesses as quickly as it should. Left unchecked — serious problems can arise — but, there are ways to restore colonic health and your body to optimal health.

The Benefits of Colonic Irrigation

Colonic Irrigation is a method of colon cleansing and detoxification.

Water is filtered through the intestine while the abdominal area is massaged thus softening and loosening the old impacted fecal matter and toxins built up in the colon. As your colon is cleansed, the process of autointoxication and its resulting health problems are reversed.

Once free from toxic and metabolic waste, the colon can repair (heal) itself and and start to function properly again.
