Why Is A Healthy Colon So Important? The primary function of the colon is to absorb water, electrolytes and some vitamins, as well as preparing and storing fecal waste prior to elimination. The colon, along with the skin, kidneys and lungs, is a major organ of elimination of toxins and waste. If bowel movements are not regular, the waste products and toxins accumulate and can compromise our health. Good health is as much a function of our elimination status as the quality of the food we eat. Consider that over 400 million dollars are spent annually on laxatives in the United States. Every year 140,000 Americans are diagnosed as having colon-rectal cancer. Of this two million Americans suffer from colitis, ileitis, diverticulitis and 100,000 Americans have a colostomy each year. Periodic cleansing of the colon could prevent stagnation and minimize the exposure to potential cancer causing agents to the colon wall. In Naturopathic medicine, it is believed that 90 percent of ailments come from diet and digestion. Did you know that illness begins in a clogged colon,which causes premature aging and death? It is estimated that the average person, 30 years or older, has as much as 25 pounds of hardened fecal matter lodged in their colon, from meals that were consumed over many years. When you start to cleanse your colon, you will see many drastic improvements in your health for the better. Conditions such as: acid reflux, low energy, headaches/migraines, acne, graying hair, rashes, bad breath, and arthritis start to diminish as the body's immune system begins to kick into overdrive. Digestion and colon health are key to optimal health and vitality. The purpose and function of bacterial flora is to: neutralize, dissipate and prevent a toxic condition from developing in the colon. In a healthy colonic environment, the healthy scavenging bacteria will control the pathogenic bacteria. When too much fermentation and putrefaction is generated in the colon, the pathogenic bacteria proliferate and ailments results.
