Consider a colon cleanse detox program

We might compare the human colon to a sewer system in a large city in the way they function. If debris clogged the sewer system, it would only be a matter of time before the repercussions would be felt within the area. The area would be filled with smelly filth and the sewage overflow could also contaminate the drinking water, causing people to become ill. The same applies to the human body when the detoxification process is not working well. An overall well-being is felt when the colon is clean and healthy. When it becomes congested, poor health consequences of many kinds are imminent.

Watch a video called "Are You Toxic?" with MDs discussing how environment and lifestyle contribute to illness.

The well known phrase “your body is only as healthy as your colon,” is very accurate. The colon has several very important functions, all of which can affect the overall health of the body. The most important function of the colon is to regulate water balance throughout the body. Once food has been stripped of its nutrients and finds its way into the colon, the colon absorbs all of the excess water. On the other hand if the food is lacking the sufficient amount of water to be released from the colon, the colon then supplies the fecal matter with water to prevent constipation.

The human body will naturally function to be self-healing and balanced, however once left to become dysfunctional due to poor lifestyle habits, then the body is often unable to correct itself on its own. Those who suffer from degenerative diseases, chronic illness, and a general feeling of illness are quite likely victims of a sick bowel.

“A study by The British Medical Journal says that 75 percent of most cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle factors. A report by the Columbia University School of Public Health estimates that 95 percent of cancer is caused by diet and environmental toxicity; in addition, most Americans have between 400 and 800 chemicals stored in their bodies, typically in fat cells. ”

"Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material." - Vegetarian Times, March, 1998
