Colon Cleansing

From The Hygienic Dictionary

Autointoxication. [1] the accumulations on the bowel wall become a breeding ground for unhealthy bacterial life forms.  The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host for putrefaction.  The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall.  All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances.  Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. Bernard Jensen, Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management. [2] All maladies are due to the lack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence of the normal defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora.  When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower alimentary canal, and the poisons thus generated pollute the bloodstream and gradually deteriorate and destroy every tissue, gland and organ of the body. Sir Arbuthnot Lane. [3] The common cause of gastro-intestinal indigestion is enervation and overeating When food is not digested, it becomes a poison.  Dr. John.H.  Tilden, Impaired Health:  Its Cause and Cure, 1921. [4] a clogging up of the large intestine by a building up (on) the bowel wall to such an extent that feces can hardly pass through. autointoxication is a direct result of intestinal constipation.  Faulty nutrition is a major underlying factor in constipation.  The frequency or quantity of fecal elimination is not an indication of the lack of constipation in the bowel._ Bernard Jensen, Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management._

I am not a true believer in any single healing method or system.  I find much truth in many schools and use a wide variety of techniques.  The word for my inclination is eclectic.

The most effective medicine in my arsenal is water fasting followed closely in potency by other, less rigorous detoxifying diets.  Colon cleansing ranks next in healing power.  In fact it is difficult to separate colon cleansing from fasting because detoxification programs should always be accompanied by colon cleansing.  Further down the scale of efficatiousness comes dietary reform to eliminate allergic reactions and to present the body with foods it is capable of digesting without creating toxemia.  Last, and usually least in effectiveness in my arsenal, are orthotropic substances (in the form of little pills and capsules) commonly known as vitamins or food supplements.
