Who Should Do A Colon Cleanse?

Most people I talk to about colon cleansing are skeptical about entertaining alternative healing methods, and don’t think they need to cleanse. They usually tell me about how they have a bowel movement almost every day and don’t have clogged intestines. The problem is they are equating regularity with a healthy bowel.  What many fail to understand is just because they are somewhat regular doesn’t mean they don’t have toxins. Even a toxic person can go to the bathroom.

The truth is the more we abuse our body the more likely we will need to clean it. We brush our teeth and we clean out our ears; we scrub our face and we clean out our noses; and we wash our hair until it shines, but we keep the intestinal tract dirty.  Does that make sense to you? It makes sense when you see that people are more concerned about the outside of the body than the inside of the body.

Some people spend $40 an hour getting their toenails cleaned and manicured but they leave the intestines caked up with old fecal matter from twenty, thirty years ago. What’s going on? I’ll tell you what’s going on. People are more concerned about how their toenails look rather than the health of their organs. Pretty toenails do look nice but pretty toenails are not going to make you healthy and extend your life.

So who should do a colon cleanse? Virtually everyone. If you eat processed foods (poor diet) on a consistent basis; if you have allergies, boils, bad complexion, aching back, arthritis, IBS, gluten intolerance, sugar spikes, overweight or a potbelly you should do a colon cleanse. If you smoke, do drugs, take medications, or drink excessively it is recommended to clean your system out. If you feel tired after eating and always seem to be hungry, or feel sick after eating then you need to cleanse your body.

Toxic overload can come in many forms from boils and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms to headaches and food allergies. The reason a toxic person feels hungry all the time is because the body is craving vitamins and minerals. When the intestines are all clogged up with fecal matter, nutrients can’t pass through the intestines and into the bloodstream efficiently.  This keeps the body in an unhealthy state and pretty soon organs begin showing signs of not working properly.

In a healthy intestinal tract nutrients can freely pass through the walls of the intestines efficiently, feeding the rest of the body. But when the intestines are clogged up and full of toxins the body is not getting fed properly and this is what causes disease in the bones, teeth, blood, pancreas, gall bladder, kidney’s liver, heart, veins and colon.

All the organs need to be fed vital nutrients from the food we eat, but if the bowels aren’t allowing nutrients to pass through into the bloodstream, none of the organs are getting fed the proper nutrients! When a body rejects whole foods, such as whole wheat in the form of gluten intolerance then it is a sure sign that it can’t take any more abuse.

The wheat berry is such a natural growing piece of nature that I find it hard to believe that someone could not tolerate it in the intestines, unless it is not organic and what the body is really rejecting is pesticides and herbicides.

For a healthy body and mind cleaning the colon is the first step. The next step would be to incorporate only whole, natural foods into the diet so the body can begin healing itself. Learn all you can about nutrition so you can take care of your own body the way God planned. The third step is to listen to your body. Be aware of orange flags that your body sends out because of diet and environment. Don’t wait for the orange flags to turn into red flags. Do something about the signals at the first sign. You are your body’s best friend so treat it well.

Sex and Colon Cleansing

The Colon Cleansing & Constipation Resource Center asked:


Are you constipated and feeling a little not interested in the bedroom? Does the thought of sex send your mind thinking about the bloated and sick feeling in your stomach? It’s no surprise that when you’re not feeling healthy, many of life’s joys can be left behind, and in many cases, it’s the sex drive that goes. We’re going to look at how a colon cleanse may be just what you need to clean up your act and get your love life back in gear.

When you’re constipated, there are many things going on inside your body that you may have no idea of. For example, if you’re not moving your bowels in a proper fashion, it can lead to a build-up of toxins that get re-absorbed into the bloodstream. As the toxins rush throughout your body, they send your systems into a frenzy. Your body is fighting the toxins so hard that other functions just can’t be handled. What happens is your immune system lowers, your digestive system is already wrecked and your sex drive suffers.

How to tell if YOU are Constipated

At any time, over 4 million Americans are suffering from constipation. To say it’s almost epidemic is an understatement! And those are the ones actually going to the doctor for it, not the people simply using over-the-counter treatments. What’s important to know is that you can be having bowel movements and still be diagnosed with constipation.

If you have two or less bowel movements in a week, you can be classified as constipated. If you have to strain, or have incomplete bowel movements 25% of the time you go, you are constipated. Likewise, if you experience black, small, hard and pebble-like stools, or thin pencil-sized stools, you’re constipated.

It’s important to understand that constipation is usually derivative of an underlying cause. It can be something as simple as an improper diet or as severe as diabetes. You need to be aware that you don’t get constipated for no reason. Blood sugar levels, diseases like diabetes and medications can all affect your digestive system in a negative way. These same reasons can also be adding to your sexual problems.

Study results show that people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are over 4 times higher at risk to experience sexual health problems. Decreased sex drive was the most common complaint, and women were noted as experiencing pain during intercourse. It was also shown that the problems surfaced twice as much with constipation patients compared to diarrhea patients. Also, the worse the IBS, the lower the sex drive.

How to Get the Drive Back

Cleaning your colon can get rid of all the sludge and grime that is backing your system up and causing your libido to nosedive. It’s been proven that the average person has accumulated between 5 and 25 pounds of pure waste in the colon. Waste that never leaves. It just sits in there, putrefying. Right off the bat, imagine how much better you would feel if you cleansed 25 pounds of garbage out of your body!

Did you know that over 90% of all illness can be directly traced back to a dirty colon? The colon is where 70% of the body’s immune system does its work. If the colon is filled, the immune system is lacking and you’re getting sick. How much better would it be if your colon was clean and your immune system could fight the organisms it’s meant to fight instead of dealing with the toxins in your body?

Products like Oxy-Powder work wonders, effectively cleaning out the colon and getting rid of numerous years worth of build-up. Oxy-Powder’s powerful, yet gentle formula uses a combination of oxygenated magnesium, germanium and citric acid to naturally cleanse and detoxify your colon. It even promotes a healthy environment that allows good bacteria to flourish and aid in digestion.

With Oxy-Powder, you’ll notice a difference both inside and out. You’ll feel lighter, cleaner and simply healthier than ever on the inside. On the outside, you’ll have a much more vibrant look, a clearer complexion and your energy will be noticed by everyone. Your body is like a self-servicing machine. It has the ability to heal itself and avoid many illnesses, but that’s only if it’s healthy enough to do it. Removing the toxins from your body will allow it to work the way it’s supposed to.

Adding a proper exercise routine and changing your diet to include more fiber and water will help maintenance your clean, new system. A good diet should include 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day. Most Americans only get about 15 grams if they’re lucky. That adjustment alone can work wonders for your digestive system. A colon cleanse may be just the spark you need to re-ignite your life. You can say goodbye to constipation and hello to your partner again, in the bedroom!



Are One-week Diets Effective?

Diane Smith asked:


These days, people are so obsessed with getting rid of those unwanted fats, thus they resort to quick, crash diets in order to get the figure they desire immediately. A lot of weight loss remedies have now been developed to be effective in helping those who want to undergo a one week diet. But are these weight-reduction plans actually work?

In essence, yes. One week diets do work, but they depend on the person’s body type, eating habits and how these diets are followed. If you are one of those who plan to follow these fast diet plans, then here are some tips that might help:



The best one week diet is composed of eating right, breathing right and following the diet regimen right. Do not stress yourself and don’t get overly excited with your plan towards slimming down. One-week diets do not actually give you a more slender body-they just get rid of the pounds which can be easily eliminated.

Going on a crash diet can impose dangers to your health, thus make sure that you have a lot of backup resources that can keep you at good shape despite being deprived of the nutrients you need. Among your main arms are water (drink lots of it), as well as fruits and fiber-rich foods.

 If you plan to reduce not only those unwanted fats but as well as those toxins that thrive in your body, then you may as well follow a one week cleansing diet. Unlike other forms of crash diet, the cleansing regimen helps your body eliminate those elements which only promote sickness and disorders in your system.

Diets work best with exercise. No matter what kind of diet you take, with proper exercise, you will be able to achieve the body that you’ve always wanted. A lot of weight loss products claim to be effective even without the help of exercise, but this isn’t true. Exercise helps in gradually losing weight while you take the diet regimen you chose, and it keeps your skin tight and firm. Hence, it is a must that you follow regular exercise while on a diet.



These are only a few tips of advice that can help you fulfill your one week diet regimen. Why not incorporate these ideas on your weight loss plan to achieve better results?
