Colon Cleansing

Hi,
I am 19 years old and I was wondering if you could tell me what the best way to clean out the large intestine is. I don't trust enemas because they can sometimes do more harm then good. I use herbs a lot and have been researching them for many years now. I also have breakouts on my skin. I use natural products and even recipes from your episodes on facial masks with essential oils but still I end up walking around with at least a few pimples on my face. I have a good diet and there is no hormone problem involved. Maybe I just need to detoxify? How is it best to do this? How do I cleanse the large intestine?

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi Olga,

You clearly feel that your occasional pimple is caused by the toxins your colon. You have obviously done a great deal of research on subject too, so bear with me while I cover some basics for other readers.

First off, where is our colon and what is it used for? The colon consists of the portion of the large intestine that runs from the cecum down to our rectum. The large intestine's purpose is to store waste, reabsorb water, and helps maintain electrolyte and water balance. The largest intestine does not play any part in actually digesting our food (although bacteria do use the fiber for their own benefit) - that's already done in the small intestine.

How do you know if you have a healthy colon? Excuse the indelicacy, but if you have at least one bowel movement a day, with solid stools, and very little constipation, then you have nothing to worry about. Even if you don't have constipation, colon cleansing can help though. All of us are subjected to unhealthy toxins continuously. These toxins come from an unhealthy diet, the environment (pesticides and or pollution), stress, overeating or under-eating, or malnourishment. These toxins all place a burden on the colon and make it work harder than necessary. Colon cleansing can remove these toxins and help it work more effectively. It is especially critical to those who want to start detoxifying their bodies.

In order to start cleansing other organs such as the liver, or kidneys, one should start with the bowels first. Why? Because when you detoxify other organs, it will lead to toxins leaving the body through the colon. But if the colon can't do its job effectively, these toxins will eventually return back to the body, which can cause a whole myriad of other problems.

So what is colon cleansing? Whether it involves a commercial product such as 'Colonix', at home master cleanse, gradually working up to 3-5 times a day for up to a month. It is advised, but not essential, do a short fast in advance of cleansing. During the cleanse it is important not to overeat, and not to consume any junk.

Colon Cleansing is a simple 3-8 week process that doesn't require any drastic diet changes, or a complete fast. We all have different bodies, so different things work for different people. But it has worked for many people in healing their acne, candida, and other symptoms.

I hope this helps,
