Any discussion on elimination of body waste inevitably includes the creation of that waste. The food we eat makes a difference in the body’s ability to effectively produce, as well as move out waste by-products and toxic residues. Our culture promotes the consumption of masses amounts of empty calories, and often refined and heavily processed foodstuffs, which result in sticky, slimy, sludgy material at the other end. Our bodies were not designed to process and thoroughly evacuate this junk! Dealing with unnatural dietary choices creates stress for the body, and eventually takes it’s toll.

Dis-ease most often originates in the gut.

On a daily basis, I see a direct correlation between the body’s ability to effectively and efficiently eliminate waste and the food people consume. We truly are a culture of overfed, yet starving and toxic individuals.

Mark Hyman, MD has insights and info to about this dilemma. The “normal” standard American diet (SAD) is making us chronically fat, sick and stressed. The crowded hospitals and medical clinics in this country reflect this fact like a blaring fog light. If this paradigm continues unabated, we’ll be fast approaching disaster on a track with no breaks.

“The mistake is to think that if you eat an abundance of calories, your diet automatically delivers all the nutrients your body needs. But the opposite is true. The more processed food you eat, the more vitamins you need. That’s because vitamins and minerals lubricate the wheels of our metabolism, helping the chemical reactions in our bodies run properly. Among those biochemical processes greased by nutrients is the regulation of sugar and burning of fat. The problem is that the standard American diet (SAD) is energy dense (too many calories) but nutrient poor (not enough vitamins and minerals). Too many “empty calories” confuse the metabolism and pack on the pounds.”

I would add that these habits greatly tax the entire digestive system.

Coconut offers our intestinal tract an excellent fiber source!

Coconut meat, coconut oil, coconut water, coconut flour, coconut water vinegar, coconut sap sugar. I love ALL of it, and eat it daily! Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut’s amazing healing powers. We are discovering that coconuts are literally a super-food.

Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil. It is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called “The Tree of Life.”

There is currently a huge, growing global demand for coconut products, but Indonesian farmers are not seeing the benefits. In Indonesia, which has the world’s largest plantations, this boom does not come as good news to all. An Al Jazeera journalist went to Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province to find out why…

Well, it’s not really poop that I exclusively love. It’s the people who come into Oasis Colonics for the purpose of rinsing it out of their colons, and watching it flow down the drain. “Bye-bye, old, built-up, toxic waste matter! Hello, feel better!”

Really, I love everything about my clients, inside and out, including their poop!

It’s not such a shitty business.

When my clients leave feeling lighter, clearer and more hopeful about their healing journey, it warms my heart, and makes me feel grateful and honored to be a part of that.

Do you hear this worry expressed by your doctor, family members or friends? It’s a misconception. The opposite is really what happens. When the colon is thoroughly cleansed, it functions more normally on it’s own. I’ve worked with thousands of people who have spent a year or two or more benefiting from the assistance of regular colonics who find improved natural function in their digestive tracts.

With adequate PREP (in terms of cleansing foods and supplements), coupled with hefty doses of patience and self-empathy, colon cleansing actually allows the body to work more efficiently.

Yes, the colon does have a dependency. It depends on a regular diet of wholesome foods, exercise, and deep cleansing in order to function optimally.

There are many people who still think that ingesting clay in any form sounds foreign or unusual. “Eat dirt? You’ve got to be kidding me.”

But, truth be told, indigenous peoples throughout the world, since prehistoric times, have eaten clay. For millenniums, up until today, the practice remains prevalent. Clay, dried and re-hydrated, is used for medicinal, as well as nutritive purposes in regions such as India, Africa, South America, Australia, Canada and Haiti, just to name a few.

Calcium bentonite clay is actually volcanic ash that is as old as the hills. I mean, literally, OLD! This clay has been stored in Mother Nature’s womb for millions of years. Mined from deep under the earth’s crust, where no surface contaminants pollute the purity of this powerful, magnetic detoxifier, “living clay” is available to us for use in the 21st century. This fact does not cease to amaze me!

Raymond Dextreit, a French naturopath and forerunner in herbal healing states, “Clay is effective through a dynamic presence far more significant than a mere consideration of the substances it contains. It is a catalyst rather than an agent in itself. This is possible because clay is alive – ‘living earth’. We cannot always penetrate Nature’s secrets, we must merely acknowledge and use them.”

Certain clays, particularly the Montmorillonite variety in the Smectite family, have a balancing effect on the human body when taken orally. Calcium bentonite is the rarest form of clay in the Smectite family, and even though sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite are cousins from the same family genus, they are very different in efficacy. Throughout the history of clay mines there have only been a few in the world which contained a pure vein of calcium bentonite.

There are an increasing number of modern, health-conscious folks who are looking to nature for curative substances that address many of the ills we are challenged by. Numerous clients at Oasis Colonics highly value drinking their few ounce ration of “clay water” each and every day, in order to draw toxins out through the layers of the bowel wall in preparation for their colonic “rinse.” It is a phenomenon that the healing properties of calcium bentonite clay go to where needed in the body. The high absorption and adsorption properties of clay make it a most effective and gentle detoxifier in our increasingly toxic environment.

If you’re looking for the best clay for detox and internal cleansing purposes, calcium bentonite should be your first choice.

“Living Clay” calcium bentonite is sourced from a rare mine in Death Valley, California. Purchase through the Oasis Colonics online store, or pick some up at the Portland colonic studio to save shipping costs.
