Excerpt - Colon Cleanse
When discussing a colon cleanse, I think we should broaden our view
to the aspect of an Internal Cleanse of the entire digestive tract. While
it is true that a colon cleanse may be accomplished with clay colonics and
drinking liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay, we will cover every aspect of an
internal cleanse from the mouth, south. In this day and age, we ALL need
to cleanse!
"In a world where
dietary choices are poor, environmental pollution is heavy, stress levels
are high, and exercise is often a last priority, internal cleansing is
more important than ever for optimum health." ~ Dr. Bernard Jensen
Understanding the basics
of how our digestive system works is vital to understanding personal
health. Before we can fully grasp the extreme importance of internal
cleansing, we must first know what's going on in there. So, let's start
with a quick primer on the digestive system.
Dr. Lindsey Duncan, CN,
ND, provides the following succinct tutorial:
We
live and die by what foods we put in our mouth and how our bodies
assimilate these foods. Digestion starts in our mouths, when we bite into
our food and begin chewing it and mixing it with saliva, a powerful
digestive enzyme. As our food travels down to the stomach, it mixes with
hydrochloric acid, a powerful digestive acid that liquefies the food and
prepares it for further digestion in the small intestines with help from
the pancreas and liver.
Our intestinal systems are connected to a network of blood vessels and
veins, which wrap around the stomach, small intestine, and bowel. Our
blood receives nutrients from our digested food through this network of
blood vessels, which look and function much like the roots of a tree,
drawing dissolved nutrients out of the intestines and transporting them to
the liver, where they undergo further breakdown, recombination, and
storage. Later, the heart pumps these nutrients, stored in the liver, to
nourish the various living cells that make up the tissues of the human
body. By-products of the digestive process are passed into the bowel,
where they solidify, and "in a perfect world", are completely excreted
from the body.
This is basically how our body gets nourishment and energy. After it
delivers nutrients throughout the body, the blood also collects cellular
waste materials (by-products of metabolism) and "drops them off" at
appropriate eliminative stations (lung, kidneys, skin, lymphatic system,
colon) where, also, "in a perfect world" they are quickly excreted from
the body.
Unfortunately, our "modern day society" is NOT a perfect world.
Pollutants, toxins, chemicals, fertilizers, growth hormones, pesticides
and other hazards to our health bombard and infiltrate our air, water and
food on a daily basis. Our diets, no longer wholesome and fresh, consist
of fast foods, junk foods, pre-prepared foods, fatty foods, and
devitalized foods. There is no way our digestive systems can function
optimally with the heavy burdens placed on them on a day-to-day basis.
Digestion becomes sluggish, assimilation becomes inefficient,
mal-absorption of nutrients begins, the metabolism slows down (weight
gain!) and elimination becomes poor.
A clean, properly
functioning bowel is paramount to our well being. Dr. Bernard Jensen,
nutritionist, lecturer and author of over 30 books on natural health care,
states this best:
"Every cell and tissue in the body is fed by the bloodstream, which is
supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty and so
are the organs and tissues. It is the bowel that must be cared for first
before any effective healing can take place."
So, how do you know the
state of your bowels? How do you know if you need to do an internal
cleanse? Dr. Duncan writes:
"Many of my seminar
topics focus on internal cleansing and bowel management. Repeatedly, I am
asked the same question by seminar attendees: "How do I know if I need to
cleanse?" My answer is quite simple... After consulting with over 20,000
patients, I can honestly state that I have never worked with an individual
that did not directly benefit from detoxifying his or her body. In
this day and age, we ALL need to cleanse! In a world where dietary
choices are poor, environmental pollution is heavy, stress levels are
high, and exercise is often a last priority, internal cleansing is more
important than ever for optimum health."
Okay, I get it. I need
to cleanse, you need to cleanse, EVERYBODY needs to cleanse! How is it
done, and what should be used? According to Ran Knishinsky, author of
The Clay Cure, the best, most natural way to internally cleanse is
with Calcium Bentonite Clay. The following is an excerpt from his book:
"If the system fails to get rid of poisons through
the bowels, a constipated condition arises in which the toxins never leave
the body. They sit inside and putrefy. What's worse, the body doesn't
know the difference between live food and dead food in the colon. It will
still try to get nourishment out of waste you would never want to set your
eyes upon. Naturally, this puts a strain on every functioning cell in the
body.
Calcium Bentonite Clay’s immediate action upon the
body is directly on the digestive channel. This involves the clay
actually binding with the toxic substances and removing them from the body
with the stool. It performs this job with every kind of toxin, including
those from the environment, such as heavy metals, and those that occur
naturally as by-products of the body's own health processes, such as
metabolic toxins. It's hard to believe that the body produces its own
toxins, but that may happen as a result of stress, inefficient metabolism,
or the proliferation of free radicals.
The body has no problem ridding itself of the clay.
Don't worry about a tiny brick house being built in the middle of your
colon. The clay assists the body's eliminatory process by acting as a
bulking agent, similar to psyllium fiber, sweeping out the old matter that
doesn't need to be there. It is not digested in the same manner as food
as it passes through the alimentary canal. Instead, it stimulates
intestinal peristalsis, the muscular contractions that move food and stool
through the bowels. The clay and the adsorbed toxins are both eliminated
together; this keeps the toxins from being reabsorbed into the
bloodstream.
Clay works on the entire organism. No one part of
the body is left untouched by its healing energies. I don't know of
another supplement that is quite as capable as clay of producing such a
wide range of positive reactions."
Our
Recommendations for Internal Cleansing
Ran Knishinsky recommends
ingesting clay on a daily basis to maintain optimal health. I agree, and
offer several ways you can do this.
For internal cleansing,
you must ingest clay. You have several options for doing so: you can eat
hydrated clay, drink liquefied clay or stir powder clay into a glass of
water and drink. If you choose to eat clay, Hydrated Clay has a thick,
smooth consistency. Generally, it is suggested that one to two
tablespoons of hydrated clay daily is the proper amount for an adult. For
those who prefer to take their clay in liquid form, start with one to two
ounces of Calcium Bentonite Clay Liquid daily. If you've never tasted
Calcium Bentonite Clay Liquid, you should know that it has a very creamy
smooth consistency, and is virtually tasteless. It is recommended to take
the clay on an empty stomach for best results. And if you're taking any
medication, it is recommended to wait 1-3 hours before ingesting clay, but
please check with your physician, as medications vary in time release and
content.
People who have made this
a part of their daily routine have been astounded with the outcome.
According to Knishinsky, benefits reported by people using liquid clay for
a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal regularity;
relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and ulcers; a
surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter eyes;
enhanced alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum repair; and
increased resistance to infections. Clay works on the entire organism.
No part of the body is left untouched by its healing energies.
So, begin your internal
cleansing program today. Ingesting Calcium Bentonite Clay on a daily
basis will get your intestines clean, and keep them that way! Make
Calcium Bentonite Clay a part of your daily routine, and experience all
the life-enhancing benefits that Calcium Bentonite Clay has to give!
