Cleansing for Health - The Herbs Place

Why Should I Cleanse?

Millions of us suffer from disease, sickness and pain because we simply don’t know this truth about our own health: our bodies are not properly eliminating poisons and environmental toxins. The colon’s job is to hold waste before it is evacuated from the body and to reabsorb water from the waste. Years of poor eating habits, low-fiber diets, sedentary living and other lifestyle choices can slow the digestive processes. If waste sits in the colon too long, toxins build up there and are eventually absorbed back into the body. A toxic colon eventually leads to a toxic liver, which pollutes the tissues and the bloodstream, making a person very sick.

Our Polluted Environment

We live in an environment of polluted air, water and soil; a surrounding full of chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, additives and other potential toxins. Ideally these toxins are processed by the liver, dumped into the large intestine (or colon) and eliminated from the body. But when this process malfunctions, serious problems arise that no simple laxative can cure. Read an article by Jim Robertson, “Internal Pollution Requires Internal Cleansing.”

Parasites? Not Me!

We want to believe that parasites are only an issue in undeveloped countries. These body invaders are present and become even more dangerous when you consider that most U.S. physicians don’t recognize the classic symptoms of parasite infestation, so they manage their patients with symptom care, never getting to the root cause.

As repulsive and unpleasant as parasites are, the reality is that eradication of our health-depleting uninvited guests starts with knowledge. Scientists have identified over 300 types of parasites thriving in America. The types include pinworms, tapeworms, whipworms, hookworms, roundworms, and Giardia lamblia.

There are various ways that parasites can be transmitted:

* Rare meat
* Insect bites
* Raw vegetables not washed properly
* Pets
* Sexual transmission – more easily passed than venereal diseases
* Shaking hands with an infected person
*Toxic build-up of plaque in the colon walls, providing an ideal breeding ground

Don’t panic!

Parasites have always been around. Our immune system is the first line of defense against invaders. It’s only in more recent years that it has become overloaded with all of the chemicals being used in our environment.

Cleansing is a preventative for many health troubles. Research has confirmed that parasites are a common denominator in people with chronic fatigue syndrome, candida, fibromyalgia and many other immune system disorders.

Targeted Cleansing Products

Before doing target cleansing, it’s recommended to do a general body cleanse so all eliminative organs are ready to remove these substances from the body.

Autointoxication

Autointoxication is defined as a state of being poisoned by toxic substances produced within the body. So, the second reason for concern about colon health involves autointoxication, or self-poisoning. When the digestive system doesn’t work properly, autointoxication may set in. This happens when food begins to break down without being eliminated. Proteins putrefy and rot, carbohydrates ferment, and oils and fats turn rancid. The body becomes poisoned from its own waste.

Doctors Promote Cleansing

“If the colon is not working properly, toxins must exit the body through other routes: the kidneys, the skin, the breath. Many of these patients have bad halitosis, body odor, etc. When a person becomes ill from colon disease, he or she may develop a variety of symptoms, including headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, or cardiovascular diseases.” William L. Cowden, M.D., internist, classical specialist in internal medicine and cardiology

“I like to think of colon cleanses as whole-body cleanses. Cleansing the colon helps virtually every tissue and cell in the human body. Laxative herbs are important, and they are the major component of many cleanses. Many cleanses contain too much of strong laxative herbs, which results in cramps. Consequently, people won’t use the cleanse. I think it’s better to use a combination of well-proven herbs that can balance each other and provide a more desirable product.” Alvin B. Segelman, Ph.D., CNS, pharmacognosist

“The body is designed to move the bowels every time we eat. It’s called the gastro-colic reflex. After we eat, the stomach gets the signal that it’s distended, and it sends a nervous energy to our colon telling it to make room. But in western civilization we live on tight schedules. And it’s a little inconvenient to get a call of nature right after lunch when you’re supposed to be back at work. So we have taught our bodies not to do that. When food becomes backed up in the colon, serious problems can develop.” Marvin D. Berman, gastrointerologist, former assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

The Power of Cleansing
“Without colon cleansing, I would not be alive today.”- Yvonne Barker

Thousands of people have had life-changing experiences with cleansing. No wonder they want to tell the world about their success. Yes, the secret to maintaining and building health is having a clean body-inside and out.

Body tissues must be free of toxins that can get in the way of normal bodily functions. Like a precision-crafted machine, dirt-free internal workings are far more critical to health than cleanliness on the outside.

Dr. Alvin Segelman, Vice President of NSP Health Sciences, says, “I like to think of colon cleanses as whole-body cleanses, because cleansing the colon helps virtually every tissue and cell in the entire body.”

Which Cleanse Is Best?

Harsh, over-the-counter laxatives hardly constitute a cleansing program. A gentle, but thorough, natural approach is easier on the body and stimulates other body-cleansing mechanisms besides the bowels. This approach should include balancing ingredients (to prevent unwanted side effects) and should replace minerals that may be removed during cleansing. CleanStart meets all of these requirements!
