Every year we are exposed to thousands of toxic pollutants and chemicals from our air, food, water and soil.  We all carry in our bodies a chemical cocktail made up of pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, industrial chemicals and the residues of conventional pharmaceuticals.  The accumulation of these toxins in our bodies may adversely affect the proper functioning of our different organ systems and overall health. 

When we consume foods loaded with pesticides and preservatives, these additives become lodged in the body and can manifest themselves with a variety of symptoms, including decreased immune function,   hormonal dysfunction, psychological disturbances, and nerve cell toxicity.  There are over 10,000 additives which find their way into food as it is grown, processed, packaged and stored.  These chemicals include hormones, antibiotics fed to animals and pesticides and herbicides used on plants and crops.    The average person eats 10-20 pounds of these chemicals every year.  

The organs of the detoxification process are the bowels, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin.  One of the body’s natural means of staying healthy is its ability to detoxify itself.   Many harmful substances which are absorbed into the body are fairly harmless and are expelled from the body through one of the above organs.  It is important to support the body’s attempt to remain healthy by avoiding harmful substances and supporting the organs in their detoxifying action.   Sufficient fluid (purified water) intake is most important in supporting the elimination function of the kidneys, bowels and the skin. 

A poorly functioning digestive tract can turn even the best of foods into metabolic poisons in the form of acids, gases, alcohol, and carcinogens.  Auto- intoxication is the result, which is the process in which the body poisons itself with toxins that cannot be processed by the body’s overloaded, undernourished, or compromised elimination systems.   If the organs of elimination are not functioning efficiently, waste matter may not be eliminated and the toxic residue may be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.  This can cause many side effects and health problems. 

Cleaning the colon should be the first order of priority to regain optimal health.  If you cleanse other parts of the body first such as the liver, lungs and kidneys the end results will not be as effective, as the colon’s purpose is to expel the toxins and wastes that it collects from the other organs of the body.  When the colon is not functioning properly then it may be recycling waste material back into the body which can accumulate in our organs.   The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines due to constipation or improper function of the colon, the greater the risk of absorbing these intestinal toxins. 

It is pretty much impossible to escape the absorption of toxic substances due to our current environment, our bodies need assistance with their internal detoxification duties.  The fastest and surest way to detoxify your system is by improving the quality of your digestion and elimination.

If you are truly ready to make a difference, a cleanse can make a world of difference in how you feel and in your overall health.  It can also help in any efforts you may have in trying to loose or maintain your weight. I am here to help, It does not have to be a scary experience.   Your success is my passion. 

Each small step you take toward improving your health can make a big difference.

Spring is just around the corner, the days are getting longer and even in these early days we can again begin to feel the sun’s warming rays.  It is not too early to begin thinking about giving our bodies some overdue attention.  Now is the perfect time to get your spring cleaning and tune-up program underway.

Natural cleansing and detoxification is a fundamental feature of the digestive/intestinal systems so when it’s not functioning normally, symptoms of illness are never far away. Colon cleansing uses natural health & herbs to help your body to heal health problems which are often related to a colon which is not functioning as nature intended.

The normal time from food being eaten to expelling its waste is about 18-24 hrs in a healthy digestive (gastro) intestinal tract (GI tract). If you have 3 meals today, you should have 3 bowel movements tomorrow.

There are of course factors that can impact what’s normal. The size of a meal, how difficult it is to digest, the type and quality of the food, the amount of processed ingredients and the condition of the colon.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, then your GI tract may be in need of a tune up.

• Cramping, bloating; spasms; alternating between constipation and diarrhea;
  burning; pain; Gassiness; indigestion; nausea; burping ; acid reflux;  constipation; diarrhea; straining.

Your goal should be to re-train the colon to work the way it was intended to function.

• First – cleanse and detoxify properly by using proper fibre for gentle and effective herbal cleansing, making sure the muscle action of the colon or peristaltic action is working
• Second – maintain proper elimination with adequate daily hydration, nutritional fibre (fruits, veggies, good grains, legumes) and appropriate daily wellness supplements.  (Sleep, stress, food, liquids, exercise, all affect how well your  body systems are working )
• Third - consider a gentle short term seasonal cleanse to help maintain a strong healthy colon and detoxify the organs.

A natural and organic food diet should be at the center of a proper nutrition program. Have you ever heard the phrase – you are what you eat? By eating natural and organic foods, and consuming lots of fruits and vegetables through juicing, you can eat your way to good health.

So what are the benefits of a clean colon

• Better absorption of nutrients
• Stronger Immune System
• More Energy & Vitality
• Body organs the will function optimally which results in optimal overall health
• Long-term weight sustainability

The human body evolved to its current state over a period of many tens of thousands of years and for over 99.99% of the time it did so naturally.  Our modern science has progressed at lightning speed, but the biological nature of the human body remains physically rooted in traits developed long ago.  Attaining optimum health today still requires the proven natural approach.
