I Stand Reminded To Eat These Highly Nourishing Foods

Colon hydrotherapy is not a cure...

Colon hydrotherapy is a valuable tool used in assisting the body to heal from a wide variety of conditions. A toxic bowel is the source of many health problems. By softening and removing the toxic waste and mucus build-up in the bowel, and releasing trapped gas, a major source of disease in the body is eliminated. In addition, we open up the bowel to a more efficient means of nutrient absorption. Colon cleansing is a valuable step toward normalizing the balance of friendly bacteria that keeps the colon safe from auto-intoxication.

Colon cleansing with colonics can also help to relieve numerous ailments associated with the gastro-intestinal tract. Abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, gas, indigestion and inflammaion are symptoms which are commonly relieved with a series of colonics.

In my colon hydrotherapy office, I regularly hear happy descriptions about relief from chronic back and shoulder pain, aching joints, swelling legs, headaches/migraines, gallbladder pain, lack of energy, excess weight and many other health issues.

Here are some helpful guidelines for improving digestive health:

1. Learn proper food combinations. Eat a wide variety of vegetables, and eat some foods raw, making sure that they are fresh, organic, in season and local.
2. Drink half your weight in ounces of room temperature water daily, either 1 hour before meals or two hours after meals.
3. Chew foods properly: slow down and relax while eating.
4. Reduce stress and tension by exercising daily and getting the proper amount of sleep.
5. Avoid intestinal overloading by responding to the call of nature immediately.
6. Eliminate waste from the colon on a daily basis, making sure that the elimination is thorough and complete.
   
7. Rinse the colon deeply with colonics, cleansing fibers and special herbs on an as needed basis.
   

The best time to begin taking a step toward better health is today.

Over-Acidity: The Underlying Cause of Disease

Our bodies were designed to be healthy, slender, energetic and well. We were intended to have smooth, supple skin and a quick, alert mind. Why, instead are so many people overweight, tired, sluggish and sick?

Robert O. Young, Ph.D. has authored several books on the effect of over-acidification of the body as the single underlying cause of all disease. He says, "When the fish is sick, change the water." Dr. Young has found that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, pathogens are unable to get a foothold. According to his philosophy called New Biology, all disease is caused by an acidic body. If you alkalize your body through proper eating and healthy living, you can overcome disease and reach your ideal body weight.

The first part of alkalizing the body is to eat more alkalizing foods. Most vegetables have an alkalizing effect. Green vegetables tend to be the best. Making sure to eat alkalizing foods with every meal, will assuredly create an alkaline body.

The second part of alkalizing your body is to reduce the amount of acidic foods you eat. Sugary and processed foods are usually acidic. Saturated fats, meats, and dairy products also have an acidic effect on the body.

Dr. Robert Young posts regularly on his blog.

Starting to alkalize the body, will release stored toxins. Some people may feel sick when toxins are released in the system. This will pass once they are eliminated. Drinking lots of water helps flush from the body system.

Colon hydrotherapy can effectively assist the body in efficiently removing toxic waste. Colonics are like opening the window of your house when the dust gets stirred up while cleaning.

Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) Popular With Natural Medicine Docs

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet or SCD is becoming increasingly popular with alternative medical doctors and health/wellness practitioners and health enthusiasts. In my colon hydrotherapy practice I continually observe that the adherents of this , and similar, dietary habits are able to release deeply embedded waste and gas easily and more thoroughly.

Lean protein, vegetables and nourishing fats make for satisfying meals, and go a long way to support the body's inherent healing tendencies.
