Constipated? Perhaps you don't realize you are! A doctor will tell you that even if you only move your bowels once a week, that's fine, as long as that’s normal for you. But when you consider how much we eat each day, you have to wonder where it all goes if you are only eliminating once a week... Children and animals will naturally defecate after each meal - this is our natural rhythm, whereby our body regularly and effortlessly eliminates our wastes to make room for more food in our digestive tract. And it makes a lot of sense for it to work this way. But nowadays people are too busy to be in touch with our natural bodily rhythms, we eat devitalised processed foods, rush around all day, often forget to drink enough water and maybe don't fit in time to exercise and relax. It is only when we are relaxed that our digestive functions occur, so it is no wonder that so many people have digestive issues. If we don't eliminate our wastes on a daily basis (ideally 2-3 times a day), it accumulates in our colon, providing an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and parasites. Water and toxins from the colon are reabsorbed into our bloodstream, and the fecal matter tends to become very hard and impacts on the colon wall. This slowly poisons the body and impedes the natural functions of the colon, promoting inflammation, mucus production and all sorts of digestive disorders; it may even contribute to the formation of tumors. Colon cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia - we have to ask why this is, and consider how to prevent it. None of us want to end up in an early grave, or with a colostomy bag permanently hanging from our side. So if your elimination is not as regular as nature intended, you are probably not feeling as good and healthy as you could. Its a naturopathic expression that "all disease begins in the colon", so by cleaning out the fecal matter, mucus, pus, toxins, drug residue and hormones you will help to prevent disease developing and will undoubtedly feel lighter, fresher and healthier. So do yourself a favour and give colon hydrotherapy a go -you've got nothing to lose but a whole lot of crap.
