Understanding The Colon

“The colon must be cleansed by detoxifying before any disease can be reversed” – Dr. Sebi

The Colon is the sewer system of the body where most of the toxic wastes go for elimination. It is a tube approximately 6 feet in length and about 2-3 inches wide. Its walls can stretch up to 5 times its original size with impacted fecal matter, which happens to people with extended midsections. It can also hold more than 30 gallons of fluid.

The colon is where your body absorbs water, synthesizes some minerals, and provides the body’s first line of defense by billions of ‘beneficial” bacteria commonly known as “healthy flora” or probiotics. These organisms help maintain a healthful intestinal environment and are critical to digestive and elimination processes.

Within the colon, poisons are created every day by the effects of improper elimination (fermentation & putrification). Once efficient bowel elimination (2 to 3 times a day is normal) is impaired, toxins will accumulate and be absorbed into the bloodstream. Once this is happens, these physiological toxins can circulation throughout the body and hinder cellular, organ and system function, accumulating in tissue over time, eventually manifesting in disease of some form or another.

Toxins being leached into the blood stream create a stress load for the liver, kidneys, lungs, lymphatic system and skin. Building or restoring health in any form must begin with cleansing and restoring efficient bowel function.
