So how have you all been going with the idea of detoxing? Have you planned or better still, started one?  It’s a good thing to do, I just did a mini fast – great. As we said in the previous article, detoxing allows your body to clear out the results of past ‘indiscretions’. Detoxing gives your system the opportunity to rest in order to help ‘clear out the stuck bits’. In our first article “Why Detox” we did not discuss any strategies to help your detox and move the ‘stuck bits’.

So now that we opened up the discussion of detoxing, we might as well develop it a bit further. There are a number of methods that can enhance a detox and or be used as stand alone strategies to maintain digestive health on a regular basis – we are referring to colon cleansing.  There are two main ways to colon cleanse: using herbal medicines or supplements or the more ‘physical’ method of colon hydrotherapy.  Before we discuss either method I want to start with a reminder - food is medicine.  Eat well and you will successfully avoid the majority of lifestyle related health problems.  And it is never too late, in fact a change of diet will often help heal chronic health problems.

There are a variety of adjunct therapies that can assist with detoxing and in my opinion the method that gives the most immediate results is colon hydrotherapy or irrigation.  I will mention the other methods for your reference.  One more thing, my assumption is that quite a few readers will be dealing with constipation or stools that are difficult to evacuate/pass.  Chronic diarrhea is an indicator of a range of problems too including parasites or highly impacted feces.  Pay as much attention to loose stools as constipation.

Did you know current research is finally supporting what natural healers have known ‘forever‘? Gut function and digestive health play a fundamental role in all kinds of health problems from autism to arthritis to colon cancer, rectal cancer to auto immune diseases and allergies.  It pays to pay your gut and colon some attention.
