"And the best way not to have go to often is to eat nothing but rice. That way your intestines are bound up with concrete." ―The City of Joy, by Dominique Lapierre, Copyright © 1985. Warner Books, Inc., New York, NY. Pg. 339-340

Many researchers, scientists, and doctors of many types and origins, have come to the conclusion that the root of disease and health problems begin within the digestive system. Here are some simple facts to consider as they pertain to the function of the digestive system:

The Stomach
Secrete some enzymes and hydrochloric acid (HCL) to break down protein. Within 2-6 hours, all food is emptied into the small intestine.

The Small Intestine
Over 90% of digestion and absorption takes place here. The acid of the stomach is neutralized and food is mixed with enzymes, bile and pancreatic juices.

The Liver
Aids in digestion and detoxification of food impurities and inspects nutrients before allowing them into the bloodstream.

The Gallbladder
Stores bile used to break down dietary fat.

Pancreas
Produces digestive juices and helps control blood sugar.

The Basic Function
The basic function of the digestive system is the breakdown and assimilation of foods, primarily carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Protein = Amino Acid

Carbohydrates = Sugar & Starches

Fats = Fatty Acids

Hundreds of different kinds of enzymes are needed to properly digest food. Cooking destroys food enzymes, forcing the body to make its own. Over time the body may tire of this extra work, leaving room for possible indigestion.

70 year olds may produce as little as half the enzymes they produced when they were 20.

Intestinal Cleansing: What is it?

Next

"In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most peoples problems.” ―Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management, by Bernard Jensen D.C., Nutritionist, Co-authored with Sylvia Bell, Copyright © 1981. Bernard Jensen Enterprises, Escondido, CA. Pg. 3

Cleansing to the body is what changing the oil is to your car, or what dumping out the garbage is to keeping your kitchen free from rot and foul odors. Intestinal cleansing is a process that has been practiced for thousands of years with the soul intent to rid the body of accumulated toxic waste.

Cleansing is a natural method of using pure grade substances from nature, in order to clean out the intestinal track. The object is for the cleanse to work like fine scrubbing in the kitchen, so that no bugs or germs will have their reasons for hanging around. Please keep in mind it is not meant as a cure for any disease or ailment.

Cleansing is simply a method of cleaning out the intestine and of restoring regular bowel habits, which no doubt, will lead to a cleaner and healthier body by allowing quicker and more complete elimination of waste.

Colonic Irrigations

Next

A colonic irrigation can be very beneficial with assisting your intestinal cleansing process. However, they are absolutely no substitute for an intestinal cleanse program.

"The reason or excuse given that they are weakening and therefore harmful, is absolute nonsense. The ulterior motive for such reasoning is purely and simply lack of knowledge and experience." ―Diet & Salad, by Dr. N. W. Walker, D. Sc., Copyright © by N. W. Walker 1971. Reprinted: 1986 Norwalk Press. Prescott, AZ. Pg. 27

Colonics cannot reach the small intestines because of a one way valve, called the ileocecal valve. The ileocecal valve prevents all fluid from moving upward into the small intestine, including fluid used with colonic irrigation system.

Colonics may help assist the cleansing process and exercise the colon, initiate the body's detoxification process, and decrease the symptoms of toxicity. In addition, deformation and contamination are alleviated, allowing the colon to function properly.

Plaque adheres like glue to the wall of your intestines A good cleanse program using herbs will condition the plaque so it will break away. When it breaks off washing out the colon through colonics will help move the toxic particles out before they can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.

A colon irrigation is a safe, effective method of cleansing the colon (bowels) or waste material by gently, repeated flushing with water. They work better than an enema or colema board. During the session, water flows into the entire length of the colon which is 4-5' long. In contrast, enemas only reach the first 12" of the colon or less.

During a session, you would lie on your back modestly draped. A small plastic tube is gently inserted into the rectum about 3-4 inches. Water (purified should be used) flows through the tube by the force of gravity (not pumped or mechanically forced) into the colon. As the colon fills with warm water there is a feeling of wanting to eliminate, which occurs naturally with no exposure to the material or odor expelled.

What you may eliminate, is visible through a clear viewing tube. It is relatively painless, although there is a possibility for mild cramping as the feces moves through the colon. Some therapist use additional tools such as essential oils, massage, etc. to help assist you with the elimination from your colon.

"Those who have never taken them before are not qualified to, nor capable of, giving an opinion that is of any value whatsoever. Advise against colonic irrigations with the proper kind of equipment intelligently administered, cannot come from anyone unless he is utterly ignorant of the first and fundamental principals of body cleanliness." ―Diet & Salad, by Dr. N. W. Walker, D. Sc., Copyright © by N. W. Walker 1971. Reprinted: 1986 Norwalk Press. Prescott, AZ. Pg. 27.

Keep in mind, friendly bacteria can be destroyed when you take a colonic, especially if there is chlorine in the water. More than likely if you need a colonic your colon has already been overrun by the harmful bacteria. So, it has been recommended to take a general pro-biotic formula.

Your colon on toxins

Colonic irrigations can remove an incredible amount of toxic waste material. It is the fastest method to release toxic accumulation. They have helped many people while intestinal cleansing, by removing the broken off layers of plaque that have moved from the small intestine into the colon.

Why Intestinal Cleansing is Vital for Good Health

Next

Considering how detrimental toxic substances are to your health, regular detoxification becomes critically important. The process of detoxification has to involve the entire body and especially, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The GI system basically performs 2 functions: digestion/ absorption of nutrients and elimination of waste products. But as time goes on, these waste products tend to accumulate and interfere with normal function. The intestines of most people contains up to 10 lbs. of fecal matter, undigested food remnants, mucus, putrefied remains of dead microorganisms, slime and other unpleasant things.

This promotes increased proliferation of unfriendly bacteria, yeast and parasites, while the beneficial bacteria (Acidophilus, Bifidus and others) become less numerous. As a result, instead of eliminating waste, the GI system becomes the source of toxins that pollute the whole body. Many chronic health problems, such as allergy, arthritis, skin rashes, lack of energy, decreased immune function and even decreased memory have been linked to poor intestinal function.

How can you clean up your GI tract and the rest of the body? Simple. An intestinal cleanse program removes the debris from the intestine, improves the function of your kidneys and liver, which accelerates cellular detoxification, destroys pathogenic microorganisms and replaces them with beneficial bacteria. ―"Why Detoxification is Vital for Good Health", Holistic Health Pearls, Michael Teplisky, MD, editor Vol. IV, #31 8/4/00

Current stool or blood tests are not effective. In order, to accurately test for parasites in the bowel, it is essential to take a sample from inside the rectum, by gently scraping the plaque, which the doctor will think is normal mucosa, and testing that sample. ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Copyright © 1998. Pg. 6-148

Who needs it? Or why?

Next

We are not saying that all 99% of you will agree, but 99% of all the people who read this need to do an intestinal cleanse. Why? Because, 99% of the people suffer from constipation on some level.

Intestinal cleansing is different than simply detoxifying the body. Intestinal cleansing is intended to rid the body of the "Mucoid plaque" which harbors poisons within it. Most detoxifying programs are designed to rid the body of only poisons. They are not designed to remove the plaque. Meaning even if we try to remove the poisons from the liver, blood, skin, etc., as long as the plaque remains in our intestinal tracks there are still poisons contained within the layers of it.

Constipation is caused from many layers of undigested foods that become a sticky, slimy substance known as "mucoid plaque". The mucoid plaque clings to the walls and crevices of your intestinal track, and provides a nice home for microorganisms to live, eat, reproduce, and die within these locations. They love to party when you party. You give them a cozy home to nuzzle into and survive. The eating habits in America and throughout most of the world today are not what the body needs, or what it is designed to handle, but the little buggers that live within you love it.

"Mucoid plaque found in the bowel is not equivalent to the natural healthy gastric and intestinal mucosa. There are more than 45 different medical descriptions of the phenomenon I refer to as mucoid plaque" ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, Dr. Richard Anderson, Pgs. 3-57 & 3-71

Benefits you ask?

Next

After completion of an intestinal cleanse it has been reported the benefits you may experience are:

More energy, strength, endurance

Better health/ stronger immunity

Improved digestion

Weight stabilization

Less negative & more positive thoughts

Feelings of greater happiness

Less body odor & less foul breath

and the list goes on & on.....

If you are looking for a simple Band-Aid fix, then this cleanse program may not be for you, at this time. Your expectations may be in search of the quick return, so many of us are accustom to looking for these days.

We are easily lead by the 'pied piper', whomever they or it may be. But, if you are tired of being tired, have a lack of energy, not thinking clearly, or looking less than your best, you owe it to yourself to experience a cleanse. Your body and mind will thank you for it.

There is no doubt that this is a grand step, we understand and we commend you for it. You may find, as we found, this to be the first step toward taking personal responsibility for your own well-being. You are beginning at a place in time where you are choosing to remedy yourself to be free from a lifetime of constipation, and to relearn how to live life again at its fullest.

The greatest success comes from the challenges we have designed and in turn conquer. We do this in order to reach a state of well being. Thank you for honoring us by taking the time to review this knowledge we share with you. In turn we respect and we honor your choice, because 'choice' is one of our greatest strengths.

Constipation

"Constipation is the slowing down of peristalsis. As peristalsis becomes more and more inhibited, the transit time of food through the alimentary canal becomes slower and slower. As it slows, food begins to rot and ferment, which often creates gas before it can exit. Lack of sufficient enzymes can also cause gas.

"Cranky Colon"
Art by Jeanne Nichols

An early sign that bowel disease is developing, is alternating constipation and diarrhea. Diarrhea is often constipation in disguise" ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, Dr. Richard Anderson, Pg. 6-136

Cause for a Cranky Colon....

....Jeanne's Mucoid Plaque

Constipation is a subject that everyone talks about, usually experiences, and spends a good deal of money and energy trying to overcome or avoid. Over 70 million Americans suffer from bowel problems. The number 2 cause of death in the United States is cancer. Of these, 100,000 give up their lives every year due to cancer of the colon.

What is the expense involved in a colostomy? More than two billion dollars for surgery and convalescence; but that is just the beginning. The special bags cost presently from $70 to $125 for 30 bags. If you were to use one bag a day (which many must) the cost would be from about $850.00 to $1500.00 a year, as long as you live. You won't be able to go anywhere unless you have a supply of bags with you. The likelihood of not being able to get bags would create a nightmare. Don't risk a colostomy. ―Colon Health: the Key to a Vibrant Life, by Norman W. Walker, D.Sc., Ph.D.

Here is a quote from the American Cancer Society: 'Evidence in recent years suggests that scientists believe that most bowel cancer is caused by environmental agents. Some scientists believe that a diet high in beef and/ or low in fiber is the cause.'

Questionnaire

If you think that none of this applies to you, answer the following questions.

	How many times did you eat today?
	How many times did you eliminate what you ate today?
	How many times did you eat in the past week, month, or year?
	How many times did you eliminate what you ate in the past week, month, or year?
	What about the build up from the previous years, where is it resting now?
	If you didn't poop it out, where is it?
	Could it be stuck in there and rotting with time and age?
	Could this unleashed backwash of waste be attracting any unwanted critters to nest?
	Could this internal waste produce similar results to that which you might find in a full trash can when it has not been emptied for a period of time (ex: 1week to 1 month)?
	How easy or difficult is it when you eliminate?
	Could this be the reason you feel so bloated or loaded down internally?
	Do you ever pass gas?
	Have you considered that the experience of gas might be caused by an escape of air as substances are trying to pass by other substances (such as mucoid plaque/decaying food) that are blocking the way?

Mucoid plaque is frequently discovered when cleansing. After all, we are what we eat.

For kicks, call and ask a gastroenterologist how long meat sticks around in your intestines. We have been told 2 years average.

It maybe that all of this sounds crude and discouraging, but there is a bright side to becoming aware of the answers to these questions. We all have choices with solutions to bring about the flip side.

On the flip side, a good intestinal cleanse will dislodge this "mucoid plaque" from your internal walls. It will help remove the sludge and free up your internal space, all of the crevices, corners, and straight-aways and allow the fluids to be delivered to your cells at top speed for better performance.

Think of your blood as you do the oil in your car. You need to give it clean, pure oil of the best quality, to get the best performance for as long as possible. If the oil in your car is contaminated it doesn't take long for those contaminants to effect other parts of your engine.

The blood in your body obtains much of its makeup from what it absorbs in the small and large intestines. It is your choice how pure (or contaminated) your blood (and ultimately your organs) become. The performance and mortality of your vehicle is ultimately up to you.

Intestinal Flora

Next

"Good' bacteria is vital for intestinal health."
―Gastroenterology 2000;119:305-309.; "'Good' Bacteria Vital for Intestinal Health, Holistic Health Pearls Vol. IV #32, Michael Teplisky, MD, editor, 8/11/00

Flora (good intestinal bacteria) is very important for any cleanse because as we are getting rid of the bad bacteria while cleansing and detoxing, we are also depleting our good bacteria, which our body needs. So, as you can see it is necessary to rebuild intestinal flora with a source of combined bacteria that supports the human digestive system.

The wall of the intestine is not smooth, it has numerous sacks or pouches. These pouches can become inflamed, causing a condition known as pouchitis. It is somewhat similar to another condition - diverticulitis - in which pathological sacks (diverticuli) become inflamed. ―Gastroenterology 2000;119:305-309.; "Good' Bacteria Vital for Intestinal Health," Holistic Health Pearls Vol. IV #32, Michael Teplisky, MD, editor, 8/11/00

"Intestinal flora aids the body in counteracting the various problems brought on by infectious bad bacteria." ―Dr. D. Gary Young N.D.

Death begins in the Colon. When you revitalize your intestinal flora with the potent 'friendly' bacteria fighters you already have, you may experience a new vitality!

What's stealing your get-up-go? Medical scientists now know that the gastrointestinal tract's balance of 'friendly' flora is most commonly attacked by the most dangerous enemies of the friendly bacteria, in order of importance:

Drugs ~ especially antibiotics, since one dose can eliminate it all
―Yamada, Pg. 2063

Alcohol - it destroys enzymes and friendly bacteria, not to mention actual cells (particularly brain cells)

Cooked meat - it feeds the bacillus E. coli (harmful bacteria) which in turn destroys the good bacteria

Bread - especially white flour or any wheat bread that was baked in an oven (wheat is only good in its raw, sprouted state; then it's excellent)

Sugar - yes, that includes most breakfast cereals, chocolate, cakes,

pies, cookies, ice cream, pop, etc.

Fried foods - e.g. potato chips, French fries, and anything fried in oil

All of these culprits alter the type, quantity, and behavior of the microorganisms found in the gastrointestinal tract. For example, a diet consisting chiefly of processed foods (not unlike the diet of 90% of all Americans today) dramatically alters the vital acid/ alkaline balance of the intestinal tract. ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ

Many people suffer from Candidiasis a form of yeast infection:

Candida is related to liver dysfunction.

Yeast is a problem bacterial organism which lives within the human body for a host and feeds off of it's internal buildup of garbage. It is a root cause to many other ailments, some of which might include: vision problems, various skin outbreaks such as eczema; psoriasis; thrush; herpes; heat rash; epilepsy; etc.

yeast in the brain is epilepsy.

A major contributor to yeast infections is antibiotics and a poor diet lacking in proper nutrients & enzymes. Cooked food depletes both nutrients & enzymes. These factors add to the reasons for the body's continuous loss of good bacteria.

Diets high in cooked-starches and diets loaded with refined or hybridized (seedless) fruit sugars both feed Candida. Sugar is an antibiotic. It can wipe out the intestinal flora. Cooking also destroys microbes. The intestinal microbes should reflect the soil microbes. The entire acidophilus complex (lactobacillus, bulgaricus, and bifida bacterium) and /or soil-based organisms may also be included in the diet to restore flora. ―The Sunfood Diet Success System, by David Wolfe, Copyright © 1999 Arlin, Wolfe. Maul Brothers Publishing, CA. Pg. 244 & 275

"Good food digestion and assimilation is at the 'heart' of health, but most doctors are still in the dark about this one scientific conclusion." ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999

Medical researchers revealed that the #1 health complaint received by doctors worldwide is poor digestion, malabsorption and constipation. Antacids, which neutralize stomach acid, invite the stomach to produce even more acid, often making the condition worse. Laxatives to relieve constipation often then leads to diarrhea. When digestion is not optimum problems can quickly evolve beyond gas and bloating. ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ

"40% of the bowel is poor bacteria" ―Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Arise & Shine Seminar 10/4/98

The healthy colon should contain at least 85% lactobacillus and 15% coliform bacteria. However, the typical colon bacteria is the reverse, resulting in gas, bloating, pathogenic organisms, constipation, and malabsorption of nutrients ~ which leads to an overgrowth of Candida. ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ

What is at the root of this global chronic indigestion & fatigue?

Microorganisms are the culprits. Our human body contains an internal ecosystem consisting of billions of living microorganisms that co-exist. The co-existence of these microorganisms is sometimes harmonious and sometimes not.

"When a baby is born, the intestines are virtually sterile, free of microorganisms." ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999

This vast internal ecosystem ~ our 'human intestinal flora' ~ dramatically influences every individuals health ~ including our physical and mental health, our metabolism, and quite possibly, even our life span. ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ

Because of the average diet and stress of our modern life style, 'friendly' microorganisms may no longer be present in desirable quantities in most adults.

Do you regularly take antibiotics, have a high stress level, or have any of the signs and symptoms of ill-health listed here?

Chronic fatigue

Fibromyalgia

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Frequent intestinal gas

Frequent constipation

Frequent colds and flu

Let's look at the "friendly" residents ~ the bifidobacteria ~ of which there are three main species that play a crucial role in human health: B. longum, B. bifidum and B. infantis.

Between the fourth and seventh day among breast-fed babies, bifidobacteria normally outdo the rest of the field. One of the chief reasons breast-fed babies get markedly fewer infections than formula-fed ones is that mother's milk tends to promote superior growth of bifidobacteria in the GI tract.

The levels of beneficial bifidobacteria decline dramatically as the human body ages. Some researchers believe this steep decline is due to gradual disruptions and changes in the acid/ alkaline balance of the bowels; which may trigger the growth of harmful pathogens and the eventual onset of chronic degenerative disease. ―Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ. Pgs. 1-5

People who have 'leaky gut syndrome,' experience a condition where the small intestine has been damaged, allowing large molecules of incomplete digested food to seep into the bloodstream and cause immune system over-activation and allergic-like responses. Good flora helps aid these individuals.

'The problem with many bacterial replenishment products is that they are limited to one or two strains of acidophilus. The kind of food we typically eat has rendered our digestive tracts into sewers.' ―Maureen Kelly, R.N. and director of the Holistic Health Center; Life Science Discoveries: Special Report 1999, Donald A. Elgie, Editor. Global Health Publications Inc. © 1998, Sedona AZ. Pg.9

Many people have used various acidophilus products with temporary success only to later find that they had merely exchanged one set of problems for another. Few, however, have realized this because it is so difficult to trace symptoms back to the cause. Most bacteria formulas (probiotics) contain a predominance of acid-producing bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus etc.) which are highly beneficial under various pathogenic conditions. However, when used consistently, these bacteria contribute towards abnormal bowel acidity, which may be very challenging to the electrolyte balance as well as to a healthy bowel environment.

Some studies have shown that patients suffering from metabolic acidosis may have triggered this potential death-causing extreme by consuming lactobacillus tablets and/ or milk and yogurt. ―Joseph T. Thurn, Gordon L. Pierpont, Carl W. Ludvigsen, John H. Eckfeldt, D-Lactate Encephalopathy, The American Journal of Medicine, 1985; Dec; Vol. 79, pg. 720. Lawrence Stolberg, Rial Rolfe, Norman Gitlin, Jeffery Meritt, Lewis Mann, Jr., Jean Linder, Sydney Finegold, D-lactic Acidosis Due To Abnormal Gut Flora, The New England Journal of Medicine, 1982; June 3, pg. 1347

"The lack of certain bacteria can cause severe imbalances and an overabundance of other strains can also cause severe metabolic disturbances." ―Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D, Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5

Most raw foods, especially those with chlorophyll, feed the friendly bacteria. Cooked and processed foods feed the harmful bacteria. Undigested foods also feed pathogenic bacteria. ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Copyright ©1998. Pg. 14-334 ~14-337

"It is the overall weakened state of the bowel and its impaired immune function that allows any infection to develop. Infections of any type are more likely to occur in a bowel that has first become deficient as a result of an overly acid environment." ―Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5

Lactobacillus acidophilus requires a great deal of nutrition to survive. When you stop to think that 25 to 35% of the fecal matter is composed of bacteria, it becomes plain that there is a great deal of substance that must be fed. The more acidophilus we take, the harder our bodies must work to compensate for the increased acids. As already explained the optimum pH range for most of the digestive enzymes in the bowel is about 7.5. ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself: Book Two Secrets of Radiant Health & Energy, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Copyright © 1998, 3rd Printing, May 2000.

Additional Information

"Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty, and so on to the organs and tissues…-it is not just the colon that must be cleansed; it's the entire intestinal tract, the stomach, duodenum, small intestine, and colon." ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D. Pg. 4-96

"The body has to have circulation or it begins to die at the point of congestion. (A lack of circulation- The inability to bring oxygen or other nutrients necessary for cell life) It only takes a few minutes of total lack of circulation before decay sets in. With most diseases, circulation has been decreased, but not totally. Therefore, only partial decay sets in and it takes years before problems develop into chronic or degenerative states." ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D. Pg. 6-131

"Most nourishment is assimilated in the small intestines" ―Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D.

If you believe you are immune to illness or an exception to the average American, who suffers from toxic waste build up then you know you are already in better than average health. However, if you suspect any sign of trouble concerning your health you, would be wise to read on.

Here are just a few more of many reasons why you may need an intestinal cleanse:

You have eaten anything other than fruit & vegetables or basically the typical American diet

You have eaten cooked or processed foods

You have used: table salt or cooked oils

You have consumed coffee

You have taken any type of prescribed/ non-prescribed drugs or antibiotics

You have dry and hard stools (they should be soft and break up when you flush the toilet) ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Books 1.5, by Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Pg.8-182.

You have experienced "foul-smelling" stools (they should not have bad odor and should be light brown) ―Guyton, pg. 840

If your "evacuations take more than 30 seconds require pushing (it should be quick and easy) ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, by Dr. Richard Anderson, N.D.. N.M.D., Pg. 8-182

The substances mentioned in the list above, and many other ingested ingredients are leading causes to the build up of what has become known as 'Mucoid Plaque'. Some of the simple symptoms of 'trouble ahead' are often recognized as constipation, gas pains, diarrhea (or runny stools), and such.

To often these issues are brushed aside and laid to rest when the feeling vanishes. The results leave the body with the original (root) problem that masquerades within the body in other forms.

In time the root problem resurfaces & erupts into other problems such as: any type of skin irritations, colds, headaches, vision problems, hearing problems, allergies, weight gain (or loss), arthritis, heart problems, diabetes, cancer and the list goes on and on.

Hopefully you can now begin to imagine and understand how the root cause of many debilitating illnesses begins with and in, a poor internal environment. The bottom line is that it all begins with the digestive system and in the intestinal track, which has become blocked.

"Mucoid Plaque"

Getting Pregnant
Christine shared with us: 'My health has generally been good. However 2 years ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis and was told I would not conceive. Doctors began with a 9-month course of birth control to be followed by Danocryn, which I refused. Symptoms worsened so I turned to holistic treatments with herbs and magnets. Shortly after that I was introduced to your cleanse program by Charles Baltzell. I completed it last March with great success. My whole life changed for the better. Since then I have continued to eat raw foods. The great news is that yesterday I found out I'm pregnant! I have had no morning sickness. I truly believe I got pregnant because I cleaned out a lot of old toxins that were preventing me from carrying a baby in a safe environment. I feel so blessed to have done the cleanse.

What many people don't realize is that the colon is only part of the problem. The small intestine is even more important ( and to a lesser extent the stomach), because this is where most of the absorption of nutrients occurs.

Although, colonics can be beneficial by helping to remove the debris that has reached the large intestine (colon), colonics cannot reach the small intestine because of a one way valve, called the ileocecal valve. The ileocecal valve prevents all fluid from moving upward into the small intestine.

Think about this one. If you have eaten three times today, doesn't it make sense to you that you should have had at least three bowel movements today?

"Daily bowel movements: If you eat three meals daily, you should have four bowel movements daily. One first thing in the morning and the others 15 to 45 minutes after each meal. Anything less than this is moving toward constipation." ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book 1.5, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D.

By the way, where do you think the rest of the fecal matter is, if you have not expelled it?

If you are not having at least the same number of bowel movements a day as the number of meals (including snacks), where do you think the excess of waste is going once the body extracts the nutrients it needs?

What is the decaying process for any fecal matter that remains lodged in a corner that your body has not yet eliminated?

How does it effect the other elimination organs?

As many of us know the largest elimination organ is the skin, do you ever wonder why you have so many problems with it?

When we create our own buildup of toxins with 'fuel' (food) that our bodies are not designed to digest; the nutrients have a great deal of trouble getting absorbed properly because the plaque inhibits proper absorption, and the fuel we use lack enzymes that are needed for digestion.

Even a thin layer of mucoid plaque reeks havoc on the body. Now what occurs with absorption is that some of these toxins (remember these are poisons) from the 'mucoid plaque' are also absorbed and being fed into your organs. This process causes a breakdown in the proper function of the organs, which inevitably leads to disease.

This plaque also gives a place for unwanted pest to hide and contaminate your internal environment. Imagine this process is very similar to that of a trash can full of rotting old food that has not been emptied out in a month or two, or three, or...

Just imagine how you never see flies in a clean garbage can. Isn't it amazing? Or is it because of the choice you made to take responsibility and clean it out?

Cleansing Can Be Easy-You Can Do It!

These are photographs of our parents, Charlie and, Marjorie, who have in recent times successfully completed two Arise & Shine intestinal cleanses. They are currently in their late 70s.

"Ironically, I have found that the people who need to cleanse the most have the most resistance to the idea. People tend to underestimate just how effective a gentler cleanse can really be". ―Cleanse & Purify Thyself, Book 1.5, by Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D., Pg. 8-186
