The Truth About Colon Cleansing - Can Death Begin In The Colon?

Over the last few years Colon Cleansers have received a lot of attention both in the media and online in various forums and online postings such as articles like this one. There are literally hundreds of Colon Cleansers on the market today. But which is the best one? Which cleanser should you use? Should you use a cleanser at all? And what are some of the side effects of using these cleansers?

Here is the real deal; in this article on Colon Cleansers and colon health I will provide you with carefully researched information both the good and the bad so that you may make an informed decision about Colon Cleansers and your health.

So let us begin, can death begin in the colon? Consider that your colon on its most basic level is simply a system of pipes designed to carry the body’s waste away in an efficient manor. Now lets consider the common pipes you’d find in your home. They are also designed to carry waste away from your house in an efficient manor. Everyone accepts that those pipes over time will clog with debris and dirt, those pipes will eventually need to be cleaned either by a chemical process such as Draino™ or perhaps in a more serious situation you’ll need the services of a professional plumber to clean the blockages out of them. Many people do monthly preventive maintenance on their household pipes and each month will pour a chemical cleaner down the drains to help keep them clean and working correctly. Your colon is much like those common household pipes; over the course of your life they will accumulate a thick paste and plaque along the walls inhibiting your internal cleansing system from working correctly.

The Royal Society of Medicine stated that death begins in the colon, and this thick paste and plaque we talked about above is the main cause. This plaque is the result of years of eating chemically enhanced and treated foods; the plaque forms over time and eventually will form a solid wall of “Toxic Sludge”, which inhibits the colons major function that is the re-absorption of nutrients and water into our bodies and the elimination of toxic wastes through regular bowel movements. One morning bowel movement isn’t sufficient to properly remove all of the accumulated toxic waste; the human body is designed to have 2-4 bowel movements per day. If your bowels are not moving properly, you may be suffering from constipation. It is estimated that the average human has between 10-20 pounds of this toxic compacted fecal matter lining the colon. Can you imagine what all of this toxic waste and putrefied fecal matter trapped in your intestines is doing to your health?

An unhealthy colon causes most illnesses common problems that arise from of all this compacted fecal matter and impaction are constipation, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, and weight gain to name a few are examples of illnesses caused by an unhealthy elimination system. In 2009 in Canada it is estimated that 9,900 women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 4,200 of those women will die from it. An estimated 12,100 men will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 4,900 of those men will die from it. On average 423 Canadians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer every week, 175 will die. The stats I was able to find for the United States are even more dramatic and scary. In the United States in 2005 72,007 men and 69,398 women were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, of those 26,781 men and 26,224 women died from the cancer.

I chose to highlight the stats of Colorectal Cancer because they are dramatic and staggering I could have chosen any illness related to an unhealthy colon and presented the stats here. I do not mean in any way to suggest that any colon cleanser product can cure or reduce cancer, I would be wary of any herbal product site making such a claim. But I am a strong believer that proper herbal colon cleansers can be a strong maintenance and preventative measure (much like cleaning your household drain pipes above) towards helping to keep cancer and other illnesses away. I further want to strongly urge you to seek a proper medical screening if you suffer any of the signs and symptoms of Colorectal Cancer as with proper treatments the survival rate is 90% over 5 years.
