Colon Cleanse: How To Know How Often & When It's Needed

How do you know when you need to do a colon detox and/or cleanse? This should give you a definite answer. A normal bowel movement is soft and unformed. It should break apart when it hits the water, or at least when flushed. This is not diarrhea, which is water. There's a big misconception about how often a normal healthy person should have a bowel movement. For years, doctors have thought that anywhere between one bowel movement a day and one a week was normal. What has been discovered, however, is that to have one bowel movement a day for each major meal (as opposed to a snack) you ate the day before. 3 meals = 3 bowel movements the next day. This is not only normal, but necessary for health. If you don't, you're not alone...nn• In the United States, the average frequency of stool passage is just over 3 bowel movements per week.nn• Constipated people often do not pass a stool for 7-10 days at a time. The key issue is lack of fiber in your diet. The more fiber, the faster waste moves through your body. nSo let's look what most people eat:nn• A beef patty, white flour roll, and french fries have virtually zero fiber. So it takes a long time for it to get through your systemnn• What's pizza made of? White flour and cheese. White flour and water is used to make wallpaper paste. And cheese (casein), at one time, was the primary ingredient in Elmer's Glue (reason for the Elmer's picture on the front). Basially, when you eat pizza, you're eating wallpaper paste and Elmer's Glue. Great, huh? If your diet consists of a lot of slow moving food, then you are essentially clogging your pipes. Once nutrients are absorbed from food, there's no reason to keep the waste in your body. In fact, the longer food stays in your intestines, the more it rots, and causes toxicity. Doctor Bernard Jensen, said:nn• One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black.nn• Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds. The heavy coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of rotting. The blood vessels in the colon begin to pick up the toxins and poisons as it seeps through the bowel wall. nAll tissues and organs of the body are now taking in toxic substances. So, the point is, watch your bowel movements and you'll know when it's time to clean it all out.n
