Read on to know more about the need for colon cleansers and how useful they are…

Food and laxatives that loosen the stool in the body and make us want to use the bathroom are known as colon cleansers. I would like to stress at the very beginning of the article before listing out the benefits of colon cleansers that research has shown that regular use of laxatives can harm by blocking the absorption of healthy nutrients from the colon into the bloodstream. This leads to far too many diseases and unnecessary discomfort.

Colon Cleansers – The Need

Colon is the main organ that is responsible for cleaning the body of the toxic wastes. A major factor that leads to food intolerance, malnutrition and chronic ill health is a toxic colon. When the colon does not function optimally because of various conditions like unhealthy diet, stress, chemicals, drugs, parasites and other substances, it tries to protect itself by producing more mucus. This additional mucus has a tendency to bind with the stool and builds layers of bowel, narrowing the lumen, thereby reducing absorption of vital nutrients. This semi solid layer hardens over a period of time and weigh can several pounds. Further, this is a ideal place for harmful organisms and bacteria to breed. It is believed that the daily bowel oases through this layer, leaving the residue intact. To help deal with and remove these hardened layer of feces, colon cleansers can be used.

Artificial Colon Cleansers – The Truth?

The concept of colon cleansing is bases on the theory that over a period of time, waste is collected in the colon that stagnates there causing toxins to form and eventually spread through the body. The phenomenon is known as ‘autointoxication’. This was an accepted fact in the 19th century, however as per the scientific research conducted in 1920, this was a misconception. There is no conclusive proof as of now and colon cleanser companies advocate that the accumulated stool blocks the colon and prevent proper elimination of waste.

David L. Diehl, clinical associate professor of medicine at New York University and Chief of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy at Bellevue Hospital Center has stated that High colonics are often touted as a way to cleanse the colon of ‘adherent stool’ that has been there for years or even decades. The body eliminates the stool effectively and there are no ‘pockets’ in the colon that collect stool for years." He further states that he performs a colonoscopy everyday and that a preprocedure purge sufficiently cleans out the stool and leaves the colon clean.

Natural Colon Cleansers

A large number of doctors believe that a healthy diet that includes adequate fiber and water is the nature’s way of cleaning the colon else people tend to suffer fro constipation. The daily recommended daily dose of fiber for women is 21 – 25 grams while the dosage for adult men is 30 – 38 grams. A healthy and a complete diet consists of fibers along with fruits, vegetables, beans and high fiber cereals. Physical activity is also required to increase the flow of blood throughout the body which further enhances the functionality of the colon.

A four step plan can be defined to keep your colon clean. The first and the foremost thing that you must follow is to eat a health diet. Avoid fatty and oily food. The next very important step is to exercise regularly. It is also necessary that the body weight is ideal based on your body structure. The next step is applicable to all the smokers and drinkers. It is very necessary to ensure that you stop smoking if you do. Smoking not only affects the colon, it adversely affects all the other body organs like lungs, kidney, liver and the heart. It is an express ticket that will directly lead you to the grave. Drinking occasionally is not harmful. But, drinking in excess regularly is again an express ticket to the same grave. Lastly, if you are over 50 years old, it is very iperative that you get a colonoscopy done. This will help rule out any abnormalities, expecially colon cancer.

Well, I have no authority to decide if colon cleansers are the miracle that the companies manufacturing it claim it to be. I have shown you both sides of the coin and it is for you to decide. You should consult your doctor about it. Eat healthy, avoid junk food and probably you will not feel the need to have your colon cleaned.

It is not that easy to find the best colon cleanser – there is a huge choice. I don’t know about you, but when I am choosing something important for my health I usually buy the best.

My reasoning is that if I do my research and then I buy what I think is the best – pretty much regardless of price – I have done the best I possibly can for my body.

The reasons that most people are considering using a bowel cleaner are:
1. To help detox the body – for example in the New Year, or
2. Because of suffering from constipation.

1. To Help Detox The Body
If the colon is sluggish, or if the ‘bad’ bacteria outweigh the friendly bacteria in the colon, extra toxins as well as gas are created. Some of these toxins can make their way into the blood stream and can travel to our joints, muscles and organs.

Of course, the body is made to deal with toxins; but there is no reason to flood it with extra toxins because of a slow bowel.

2. If Constipation Is Present
There is constipation when bowel movements are hard to pass. Any time straining is present then constipation is present.

A good bowel cleaner will usually have a fantastic effect in cases like this. Keep the treatment up for long enough and your constipation will be a thing of the past.

It is best to continue with a bowel cleaner for at least 3-6 months, perhaps longer – depending on how long you have had constipation.

Diet and Exercise
Diet and exercise are essential components of any good programme to help the colon. With the diet a high proportion of vegetables and fruit is virtually essential – and as much raw as possible. Exercise: any exercise which squeezes the abdomen is excellent for all the abdominal organs including the colon.

The Best Herbal Cleanser
Cascara Sagrada (Latin – Rhamnus purshiana) is probably the best herb among the thousands available for gently yet effectively improving bowel function.

Many years ago one dose would be taken before bed to produce a bowel movement next morning.

Now, we use Cascara in a gentler, more curative way; by taking it 3 times daily in a lower dose, and combined with other herbs, to produce a cure of constipation.

This happens because Cascara has the great property of ‘re-training’ bowel muscle which has got lazy. In just about every sufferer, the bowel eventually starts to work for itself, in time, and the herbs are no longer needed.

The cascara has caused the bowel to work as it should do – to produce 2-3 bowel movements daily.

For many people with constipation this seems like magic – and is almost unimaginable! However, it is what we find in practice.

Psyllium Husks and Bowel Flora
I recommend that the product containing the cascara and other herbs is used alongside two other products: PSYLLIUM HUSKS – a seed husk which provides a wonderful lubricating fibre to help the colon; and a bowel FLORA product. This is a supplement which increases the friendly bacteria in the colon, so promoting good health.

Many thousands of people have used this combination of three products to help them to detox and to help them completely banish constipation.

This bowel cleaner is a brilliant start for future good health.

The Best Colon Cleanser
These three great components are ideal if combined together in a health programme over several months or more. In this way, the body is helped to detox, and constipation will be diminished or completely eliminated.

This bowel cleaner is a fantastic way to start improving health.
