Why do we need colon cleansing

A clean, strong, well-functioning colon is essential to maintaining optimal health.   An unclean, weak and poorly functioning colon is a breeding ground for disease and ill health.  If the colon is not properly cared for, serious health problems can arise and based on the statistics, colon heath care in the U.S, England, Australia and many other countries has been seriously neglected.  In the United States alone, over 400 million dollars is spent annually on laxatives.  It is estimated that 130,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancer will be diagnosed yearly.

Colon cancer is the second leading cancer in the United States, second only to lung cancer in men and breast cancer in women.  At least two million Americans suffer colon related diseases including colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis and approximately 100,000 colostomy surgeries are performed each year in that country.  The Australian diet and lifestyle are similar to that of the U.S. which suggests that the outcomes will also mirror, statistically, their continuing demise.

Good colon health is as much a function of the quality of food we eat as it is our elimination status.  The typical Australian diet of refined, processed foods, high in fats, sugar, wheat, preservatives and low in fibre inevitably causes problems for the colon

“Ageing is not simply decay, it is accumulation of choices and consequences”
John Leonard

“Every tissue is fed by blood, which is supplied by the intestinal system.  When the intestines are dirty, the blood is dirty and so are the organs and tissues.  It is the intestinal system that has to be cared for before any effective healing can take place”.
