"The forgotten key to health"
The colon is the last five feet of the digestive tract,
or large intestine. It is a hollow tube-like organ made
up of muscle structure that moves digestive food and
waste along by a wave-like motion known as
peristalsis. 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 population, 44% will die as a
result of
the disease. At least 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.
