The Benefits of Natural Colon Therapy

Extract from "The Definitive Cure of Chronic Constipation", by Prof. A. Ehret:

This article is not for the squeamish. You may not wish to know what you're about to read, but never mind, I think you should read it anyway!!

"A physician of Berlin, whose life work was the performing of autopsies, stated that 60 per cent of all the corpses contained in the alimentary canal various foreign matter - worms and petrified faeces - and he further stated that in nearly all cases the walls of the intestines and colon were lined with a crust of hardened faeces, making it evident that these organs had degenerated to a state of utter inefficiency. Progressive American physicians are rapidly awakening to the fact that retained faecal matter is one of the chief causes of disease.

Autopsies are constantly revealing indescribable filthy astounding conditions. One physician publishes the following:
" 'I have found a prototype of the cause of all diseases of the human body, the foundation of premature old age and death. Surprising as it may seem, out of two hundred and eighty-four cases of autopsy held, but twenty-eight colons were found to be free from hardened faeces and in a normal and healthy state.

The others, as described above, were to a more or less extent incrusted with hardened, rotten, rejected food material. Many were distended to twice their natural size throughout their whole length with a small hole through the center and almost universally these last cases mentioned had regular bowel evacuations daily. Some of them contained large worms from four to six inches in length."

When the bowels become constipated or overloaded, there is an increase of load on the other eliminative organs. Often they cannot handle it properly and then the body stores the toxins in places such as fat cells and joints. If bowels do not function as they should, the liquid waste from the delayed faecal material must be reabsorbed into the body. It is picked up by the blood stream, carried through the circulation system, and brought to kidneys, skin and lungs.

The kidneys, faced with having to remove an extra load of liquid wastes or poisons from the blood stream, day after day and month after month, may enlarge. Frequency of urination increases. There is a strong urine odour. The overload can bring about a lowered resistance to infection.

The skin tries hard to do its part and the sweat and sebaceous glands work overtime. But they are not up to the task. They soon cease to function properly. Finally, the lungs. These have a minute-to-minute vital function to perform. The body often calls upon the lungs to shoulder the overload of the other organs of elimination. The lungs are busy ridding the blood of carbon dioxide and renewing it with oxygen for every cell in the body. Yet when the lungs must take over part of the bowel job the breath becomes unpleasant.

The Benefits of Natural Colon Therapy

The accumulation of old faeces in the colon can stretch it and related body structures out of shape until it becomes three or four times as wide and twice as long as it should be, with only a small channel through which material may pass.

This can create hernias, collapsed colon, spastic colon, prolapsed colon, redundant colon, diverticulitis and haemorrhoids. In the majority of cases, colon cleansing alone will be sufficient to end any disturbing symptoms due to mechanical abnormalities (Robert Gray).

The accumulation of mucoid material along the walls of the small intestines can further interfere with nutrient absorption even though nutritional intake may be adequate. The nutrients that suffer the most are the large molecules, namely the proteins, vitamins and enzymes.

Stagnation is the failure of matter in the alimentary canal to continue moving until expelled through the anus. When material becomes lodged in the alimentary tract, it can continue to putrefy and release toxins for weeks. Stagnation occurs primarily in the colon and is usually the body's largest contributor to putrefaction and the consequent autointoxication.

The primary objective of natural colon therapy is to remove stagnant material from the colon and entire alimentary tract. Doing so will sizeably reduce putrefaction and autointoxication within the system. The stagnant material in the alimentary tract can be divided into two types - putrefactive and postputrefactive.

Putrefactive matter is still moist, decaying, and releasing toxic substances. Unless removed it eventually becomes so dry and hard that it does not putrefy any further. This postputrefactive matter is very difficult to dissolve or remove, except with special herbs and fibres. Worms, amoebas and other parasites live in and thrive upon this stagnant putrefactive matter.

Transit time is how long it takes after food is eaten until its residues are expelled through the anus. The shorter the transit time, the less the food will putrefy before being expelled from the body, and the less will be the resultant autointoxication. Natural colon therapy reduces transit time.

Lymph Detoxification

When waste material leaves the body cells, it is carried away by the two circulating body fluids, namely, the blood and the lymph. The lymph is formed out of the blood but contains no red blood cells. Because the lymphatic system carries away toxins from all body cells its proper functioning is important to the health of the entire body. When too much mucoid material is produced in the body, the lymph cannot dispose of it fast enough and it builds up. Ancient Chinese medicine teaches that the colon is the principal organ for detoxifying the lymph.

An unobstructed colon will absorb the mucoid material in the lymph through its walls into its interior. As the walls of the colon become more obstructed with linings of faecal deposits, however, its ability to detoxify the lymph decreases and the accumulation of mucoid matter begins to back up into the lymphatic system.

When the colon cannot perform the necessary rate of purification of the lymph, then the body uses the liver to do the work instead. The toxins taken up by the liver are excreted as part of the bile. When the flow of bile becomes excessive, bile backs up into the stomach, and the result is nausea.

So, when the colon becomes clogged, waste material gets backed up into the lymphatic system. As this process continues, waste material backs up into the body tissues and disease can result. This process can affect any body part because the lymphatic system serves all body cells.
