How A High Fruit & Vegetable Diet Can Detox Your Body

More and more research is showing that a high fruit and vegetable diet contains the nutrients that ward off all manner of ill-health and diseases from cancer, to premature aging.

It’s generally agreed by Functional Medicine Doctors and Naturopathic Doctors  that the underlying causes of most disease are toxicity and deficiency. We need to feed our cells with proper nutrition if they are to function and detox themselves properly.

Start Your Detox With A Bowel Cleansing Diet

The bowel is one of the most important systems for removing toxins from your body. Toxins that get into your body are processed by your liver and are eliminated from your body by the bowel or by the kidneys through the urine.

If you have decided to do a New Year Detox to kickstart your healthy eating resolution it makes sense to start with a bowel cleansing diet.

There are various schools of thought about the necessity for colon cleansing but there is no doubt that if your colon becomes sluggish or overworked it cannot function properly.

Toxins which remain for any length of time in the bowel can get reaborbed into your body. They get sent back to the liver where they have to go through the whole detox process again, overworking your liver.

Is your Intestinal Candida really SIBO?

If you think you have intestinal Candida yeast overgrowth and are having a hard time getting it under control you may have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth).  The symptoms of SIBO aka SBBO (small bowel bacterial overgrowth ) are very similar to those of Candida so it’s easy to confuse the two conditions. It is possible and not uncommon to have both conditions.

What is SIBO

Small intestine bacterial overgrowth is, as the name suggests, an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. It is an overgrowth of bacteria that should not be present in large quantities in the small intestine.

Although the entire digestive system is populated with bacteria the small intestine does not contain anywhere near the number of bacteria that is found in the large intestine (colon).

Is Colonic Irrigation For Detox Dangerous?

Colonic Irrigation is dangerous! That was the sensational headline in my newspaper. Thousands of people testify to the benefits of colonic irrigation or colonic hydrotherapy, as it is also called, as part of a detox plan so how can that be?

An article published last week in The Journal of Family Practice apparently claims that colon “cleansing” can cause side effects ranging from cramping to renal failure and death. Journalists have had a field day with it as you can imagine.

A press release published on the Georgetown University Medical Center website talks about colonic irrigation and herbal bowel cleansing (the two are often used together) and it is not clear exactly which procedure they are referring to. It states that researchers reviewed 20 scientific studies published in the last 10 years and came to the conclusion that there is very little evidence that it is beneficial.

6 Reasons Why Bowel Cleansing May Cure Your Back Pain

Bowel CleansingIt may come as a surprise to you that your back pain could be related to your bowel but it’s true. Excess abdominal gas (wind) and excess fecal matter in your intestines can cause back pain whether you have flat abs or a beer belly.

Here are 6 reasons why Bowel Cleansing may cure your back pain:

1. Excess Gas

Gas (wind) can develop in a matter of hours after eating especially if you eat quickly or on the run and don’t digest your food properly. If you only have 1 bowel movement a day you could have 8 meals left inside you. The putrefactive bacteria naturally in the gut feed on it and create even more gas. Not a nice thought is it?

Abdominal gas can be devastating to the back-pain sufferer, especially if you are trying to take a more natural approach by doing stretching and exercise to get relief. The position of your pelvis and the curvature of your spine are the two biggest factors that affect any condition that causes back pain. Even if the treatment you are using is a good one, your results will be hindered by a distended belly.

How to Colon Cleanse

There is no getting away from it, the colon is the most neglected organ in the body. Of all the organs in the body it is probably the most congested with toxins and toxic waste. It make sense then to look at how to colon cleanse.

The liver is the major detoxification organ but the colon, the large intestine,  is just as important.The liver cleanses the blood of toxins and incorporates them into the bile which is released into the intestines during digestion. It gets mixed with the food and eventually makes it way out of the body in the waste matter, the stool.

Herbal Colon Cleansing Might Just Save Your Life

Herbal Colon CleansingIn spite of the fact that herbal colon cleansing is becoming more and more popular the majority of people would not connect a toxic bowel to their health problems. Mainstream doctors are unlikely to link their patient’s poor health to their bowels, nor are they likely to recommend colon cleansing.

History of Colon Cleansing

Yet, the idea of cleansing the colon is not new. Accounts of bowel cleansing were found on Egyptian papyrus dating back to 1500 BC. It is reputed to have been used in Chinese and ancient Indian Medicine years before that. Herbal colon cleansing persisted as part of normal health practices until as recently as the early 20th Century.
