Power For Health - Achieve Optimal Health With a Colon Cleansing

The idea of colon cleansing has been with us since 1500BC, when it was first practised by the Egyptians. This treatment is suitable for all ages and is a safe, effective way of eliminating toxins and waste products that are essential to the individuals overall well-being. A cleansing program can be an effective part of preventative health management, as it rids the toxins and contaminants that can accumulate in the colon. The range of benefits that this therapy offers may surprise you!

Toxins

Toxins, and particularly those from medications, are often responsible for the build up of harmful bacteria in our gut, resulting in the production of by products such as ammonia, purines, and ethionine; all of which can lead to cancer. Nowadays these toxins are more common than at any other time. These toxins and waste can build up in the gut, just like waste can build up in your plumbing in your home. Those who advocate the colon cleansing feel that it is beneficial to the body, as it relieve the wastes and toxins, and also increases your energy and improves your immune system. It is believed that your body can build up toxins and cause toxaemia if not purged on a regular basis. If you are not able to purge, your body will carry out its own purging process, with consequent problems including diarrhoea, pimple and acne, boils, liver spots, body odour and perspiration, and bad breath amongst other problems. It is believed that if this continues the potential outcome is cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and other potentially fatal health problems.

Benefits of Cleansing

There are many positive benefits of practising colon cleansing. This can not only include overall health benefits, but also the benefits of clearing the skin and leaving a more radiant complexion, getting rid of blemishes, and relieving water retention and cellulite. The cleansing also restores the white color in the eyes, making them look younger and brighter, as well as decreasing problems of bloating, gas and improving the overall slimness as well as the appearance of skin and hair. If all that wasn't enough to sell you; people have indicated that colon cleansing helps in the relief of menstrual pain, joint aches, migraines, skin problems, breast cysts, sinus congestion and improves concentration! With some of the strong medications prescribed for these conditions, then it is worth considering something as naturally therapeutic as a colon cleansing. To restore you body to its ideal functionality, then colon cleansing is the perfect option, and it also has nutritional benefits as it aids the bodies correct digestion function.

As a form of preventative health care, there is no better option than colon cleansing to eliminate toxins from your body and decrease the occurrence of illness. Cleansing offers a natural and safe option over strong medication. A healthy colon will improve your energy and vitality; no matter who you are this therapy is a good, naturally healthy option.

Lower Your Risk of Colon Cancer With the Right Fat

A high intake of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a kind of fat found naturally in cow's milk, significantly lowers risk of bowel cancer, according to a new study.

60,000 Women Over 15 Years

Middle-aged women who reported having the highest intake of CLA during the late '80s were about 30 percent less likely to have developed bowel cancer within the following 15 years. Data from over 60,000 women were analyzed.

Even further, those who ate at least four servings of high-fat dairy foods each day had a 41 percent lower risk of bowel cancer than those who ate less than one. Each increment of two servings of dairy products equaled a 13 percent reduction in a woman's colon cancer risk.

Increases Some Risks, Decreases Others

Milk-based products have been linked to increased risk of other cancers, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer, but both milk and calcium have been associated with a lower bowel cancer risk in several previous studies.

Current research has usually focused on calcium as the potential mechanism for this. Few if any other studies have evaluated the role of CLA.

Bowel cancer is the third most common form of the disease worldwide.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition October 2005; 82(4): 894-900 Food Navigator USA.com October 10, 2005

Dr. Mercola's Comment:You may recall that cancer, NOT heart disease, is now America's top killer.In my book, any natural strategy that cuts your risk of the top killer by half is worth looking into more seriously.

CLA is one such potent cancer-fighter, for as little as 0.5 percent in your daily diet could reduceyour risk of colon cancerby more than 50 percent.

CLA is primarily in dairy products produced from cows that were not fed grain. Much of the animals' ability to produce CLA is shut down the moment they start eating foods they were not designed to eat like grains.

If you are eating commercial beef you can rest assured that the last three months of that steer's life it was fed grain in a feedlot prior to slaughter. This is unfortunate as their CLA production is virtually shut off.Grass-fed cattle typically have 500 percentmore CLA than commercial grain-fed beef.

Of the various types of dairy foods assessed in this study the strongest protection for cancer was seen with cheese. That is great news as that is probably the easiest way to obtain grass-fed raw milk. There are far less restrictions on its sale and it is widely available in every state.

It is important to undestand that the pasteurization processcan actually change the three dimensionalstructure of the fragile milk proteins (especially casein) and convert them into proteins your body was never designed to handle. This frequently results in health complications.

Pasteurized milk is inferior to raw milk in a number of importantways as it:

• Increasestooth decay

• Has a lower calcium content

• Has a lower A, B, and C vitamin content

• Dramatically increases allergic reactions and effects on your health

If you are concerned about potential health risks from drinking raw milk I suggest you review my article on why raw milk is becoming more popular. If you are unable to find a local dairy farmer in your area who sells raw milk, I encourage you to visit the Real Milk Web site to locate a source close to you.

If you are interested in lowering your risk of colon cancer and you are unable to easily secure raw milk, I would encourage you to seek grass-fed, organic, raw milk cheese in your local health food store. BUT please make sure it is grass-fed.
