The Colon

Your colon or large intestine is a hollow, tube-like organ, made up of muscle structure that moves toxic materials along by wave-like motions, known as peristalsis action. It is approximately five to six feet long.

When a person is constipated, the walls of the colon are generally packed or lined with accumulated feces. Extended periods of intestinal. overloading caused by the avoidance of an immediate response to the call of nature generally results in constipation. The colon can neither absorb vital nutrients, nor eliminate waste properly in this condition.

When waste from blood arrives at the inner wall of the colon, hardened feces prevents passage of this waste. Blood circulates through every organ in the body and reaches every cell; therefore, toxins in the blood contaminate the entire body. Proper body tissue cleansing is begun by thorough bowel cleansing.

The natural immune system can only be built up in a clean body—a body with a minimal amount of accumulated toxic material. The degree of harmful bacteria, parasites, and other dangerous organisms in the colon vary greatly among individuals. What one person is able to hold in the bowel without obvious effects may be hazardous to others. Remember, colon cancer ranks next to heart disease as the most frequent cause of death in the United States today. Colon Dysfunction Constipation or diarrhea is usually the first sign of trouble. These danger signs, along with foul-smelling stool or gas may be passed. Normal stool color is honey golden brown, and should not have an offensive odor. During constipation, you may observe a darkening of the stool because of the longer transition time to elimination. The colon will distribute the poisons of decay, fermentation and putrefaction in the blood. Colon therapy is not a cure, but is a valuable procedure and treatment for a wide variety of different colon conditions. A toxic bowel is the source of many health problems.

By stripping down the old toxic mucus lining from the colon, we remove the number one source of disease in the body. In addition, we open up the bowel to a more efficient means of waste elimination and nutrient absorption, both of which are essential to any lasting healing process. This is also the first step toward normalizing the bowel so that friendly bacteria return to keep the colon safe from putrefaction and other auto-intoxication. Many surgeons and physicians are beginning to understand the importance of bowel care, in the prevention of sickness & disease. Most importantly the gut-brain connection. It is so important to keep a clean and balanced colon. When we keep our colon clean, it builds up our microbiome and keeps it balanced, ridding ourselves not only from unwanted digestive symptoms, but also brain issues such as depression, anxiety, foggy brain syndrome, etc.

Fecal Impactions:

Once a fecal impaction forms, more stool gets stuck on it and then more and more, causing newer stool to stay longer in the cecum part of the colon to soften or liquify it, in order to pass around the fecal impactions. Once you start forming fecal impactions,they start stacking up, one by one, causing the hard stool (through the colon) to press on and/or shift things around. It can press on your spine, causing pain in your lower back or even nerve issues. Pressing on your bladder, causing bladder issues. Pressing on your vaginal wall, causing female discomfort, and in some cases, causing leaky gut syndrome, which can cause difficulty conceiving or staying pregnant to term.

This could also be due to the old fecal matter not coming out, which creates bad bacteria in the colon, thus killing your good bacteria and wreaking havoc on your microbiome. We need a good healthy balanced microbiome to have healthy organs, a healthy body and a calm, intelligent brain. If our microbiome gets out of whack due to old poop putrefying in our colon, then we are getting bad messages sent to our brain that can cause all sorts of bad thoughts, including depression, anxiety and other mental issues. Studies have even shown that cleaning the old waste out of the colon and re-building the microbiome in your colon, can play a positive role in your mental health and well being.

Problems with Parasites:

While most parasites do not cause weight gain, certain types can contribute to increased body mass. These include:

Tapeworms: These flat, ribbon-like parasites reside in the intestines and consume nutrients from the host's food. They can lead to excessive hunger and calorie intake, resulting in weight gain.

Roundworms (Ascaris): These large, cylindrical worms can also cause weight gain by consuming nutrients and altering the body's metabolism.

Hookworms: These parasites attach to the intestinal walls and suck blood, leading to anemia and an increased appetite.

Toxoplasma gondii: This single-celled parasite can cause changes in appetite and metabolism, potentially contributing to weight gain in some individuals.

Other factors:

It's important to note that weight gain associated with parasites can be influenced by other factors, such as:

- Malnutrition: Parasites can cause nutrient deficiencies, leading to increased cravings for high-calorie foods.
- Inflammation: Parasite infections can trigger inflammation, which may contribute to metabolic changes and weight gain.
- Hormonal imbalances: Some parasites can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to weight gain.

If you experience unexplained weight gain accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or nausea, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
