"When hard fecal matter, mucoid plaque, which has built up on the walls of the colon over years is removed, the body begins to function more efficiently. Poisons and toxins are removed efficiently and good nutrients from foods are readily absorbed as the cellular pH moves closer to 7.0. Digestion is improved. Immune function is enhanced. The endocrine system works more harmoniously. The lymphatic system becomes more fluid for effective drainage and elimination of cellular debris. We begin to notice the difference because we have more energy and feel better." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The bowels eliminate as feces whatever food substances cannot be digested or absorbed. fecal matter also contains bile, which carries the waste products that result from the breakdown (catabolism) of red blood cells and other harmful substances. In addition, one third of the excreted waste consists of intestinal bacteria. The body can only function smoothly and efficiently if the bowel removes the daily accumulated waste every day. Intestinal congestion arises when foods are inadequately digested." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "In addition to following an Ayurvedic daily routine and diet, Mary began to use a number of cleansing procedures to rid her colon of stagnant, old fecal matter and to purify the blood, liver, and connective tissue from accumulated toxins. The liver flush produced thousands of stones that had affected both her liver and gallbladder for at least 15 - 20 years. The most important thing for Mary was to become more conscious about everything in her life. This included eating, emotional releases, and listening to her body's signals for thirst, hunger, and tiredness." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"After food has been processed in the small intestine and nutrients extracted for use by the body, the remaining wastes are moved to the large intestine, or colon, before being expelled from the body as feces. fecal matter in bowel movements contains fiber and wastes from the digestion of food. It also contains waste products from cellular metabolism. We should have as many bowel movements each day as the number of substantial meals we eat. When the number of movements is less than this, a condition of stagnation exists. Wherever there is stagnant food matter, there is fermentation and rotting." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"If the intestines hold impacted fecal matter, Candida, bacteria or parasites, it creates toxins because of the putrification process. The liver works to detoxify the body of both external and internal sources of toxins. What is detoxification? Detoxification or cleansing stimulates the organs of elimination to release toxic burdens which in turn aids in maintaining health. Organs of elimination are those that work to excrete poisons or toxins, such as the kidneys, liver, lymph, intestines, lungs and skin." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "This means less contact with putrefying fecal matter and less toxic byproducts. This eliminates a breeding terrain for bacteria, fungus and parasites. The cells and the blood are no longer poisoned from the intestinal tract. • Improved nerve flow in the digestive tract also lessens back pain by acting on the nerves in the spinal column. • Toxic accumulation may block receptor sites for various biochemical processes. For example, certain things can block the thyroid's receptor sites for thyroid hormone. These events result in hypothyroidism due to lack of absorption of the hormone." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"It is a tubular protrusion, about 3 inches long, which opens into the large intestine and produces lubricating mucus to aid in the movement of fecal matter through the bowel.1 When toxic overload conditions exist in the lower end of the small intestine and the colon, the appendix can become blocked and may abscess, requiring emergency detoxification measures or removal. Regular bowel movements are very important for health." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) "Note: This type of enema allows for a gentle release of toxins and built-up fecal matter from the lower end of the colon without stressing the body. It does not upset the overall electrical balance of the colon or eliminate bowel flora. APPENDIX 6 recipes The following recipes are presented as samples only.

Several of the books listed have quite large sections devoted to menus and recipes." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Many people with "potbellies" may actually have several pounds of old, hardened fecal matter lodged within their colons. While colon hydrotherapy is not actually a weight loss procedure, it does often result in significant weight loss due to its ability to reduce the toxic burden of the large intestine efficiently. Furthermore, several ailments have been associated with colon toxicity. People with conditions ranging from allergies and acne to chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia may benefit from colon hydrotherapy." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "We excrete these toxins mostly when we urinate (in urine) or eliminate (in fecal matter), but also to a lesser degree when we breathe, sweat, cut our hair, and trim our nails. Most of these wastes are the by-products of the air we breathe and the food we eat. However, our intestinal tracts are full of bacteria and yeasts that also produce waste. These bacteria and yeasts are often called gut flora or intestinal microbes. Some of these bacteria are highly beneficial. They assist with the digestion of some vitamins and they play a significant roll in our immune response." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Upon autopsy, actor John Wayne, a real meat and potatoes man, was rumored to have held 35-40 pounds of fecal matter in his colon. This may just be an urban legend, but it is easy to believe. Cooked fooders, especially eaters of cooked meat, do indeed risk impacted and diseased colons. A healthy colon weighs only 5-10 pounds when empty. Most Americans on the SAD are estimated to be carrying around 15-20 pounds of unhealthy colon weight." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"COLON CLEANSING Colon cleansing helps remove toxic debris of impacted fecal matter from the intestinal tract. Our bowels are a holding tank for our body's waste. Our waste is not only what we eat and drink but our manufactured toxins such as hormones, acids, alcohols and cholesterol. Some environmental toxins that we absorb are pesticides, heavy metals and pollution. A popular revision of the old proverb is "We are what we eat and don't excrete." Some colon hydrotherapists administer colonics using distilled water mixed with probiotics to flush out the intestinal tract." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"These water treatments, as far as they reach, may loosen up and flood out virtually all of the transit fecal matter and much surface colon debris. But contrary to popular belief, these treatments are totally ineffective in loosening matter that has been built into the cellular structure of the colon tissue walls. Nor can the flushing water reach into and loosen up toxins that have been deeply lodged into any diseased tissues, including diverticular pouches, polyps and tumors. Enemas employ the comparatively weak force of gravity." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"What You Actually Get in the Store Many commercial-grade vitamin and mineral concentrates are synthesized by the large pharmaceutical and chemical companies2 from the same starting material that they make their drugs from (coal tar, wood pulp, petroleum products, animal byproducts, waste and fecal matter, ground rocks, stones, shells, and metal." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"In addition to fecal matter, bubbles, mucus, and parasites are often seen. There is no odor and in most instances no health risk involved in the colonic procedure when performed properly by a trained, certified colon TIP Some companies offer certain types of herbal products formulated especially for children. Do not use adult formulas on children or teens without first consulting with the company on proper dosage and with your child's pediatrician. Children under four should not use herbal detoxification products." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Draw old fecal matter off the walls of the colon and out of any bowel pockets. • Disinfect. • Draw out poisons and toxins. • Help leach out heavy metals such as mercury and lead. • Remove chemicals and drug residues. • Even remove radioactive material such as Strontium 90. • Soothe and promote the healing of the mucous membrane lining of the entire digestive tract. • Help stimulate the body to begin the healing and repair of herniated areas. • Increase the flow of bile to help clean the gall bladder, bile ducts, and liver. • Promote healthy intestinal flora." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "Approximately V3 of the dry weight of our fecal matter is composed of bacteria—living and dead, harmful and beneficial. A major indicator of the state of our health, both intestinal and overall, is in the composition of those bacteria. What Can Be Done? Any program designed to clean, detoxify, and rebuild the colon needs to address several key areas. The program must: • Help bring the colon back to life by stimulating the muscle movement of the colon. • Encourage matter to move forward through the system. • Halt putrefaction." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) "This formula will serve as an intestinal detoxifier to loosen and draw out old fecal matter, waste, and toxins. It will stimulate peristalsis (the muscular movement of the colon). It will also halt putrefaction, disinfect, and soothe and heal the mucous membrane lining of your entire digestive tract." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Estimates predict the average person has between 10 to 20 pounds of hard, compacted fecal matter lodged in their intestinal tract by the age of 40. Since the human intestinal tract is 25 to 30 feet long, if you were to cut it open and spread it out, the surface area would be the size of a tennis court. By using this cleanse, you can melt away or oxidize the compaction from the small intestine and the colon—safely and effectively. This is critical, because, as you know well by now, a clean intestinal tract is an essential step towards achieving optimal health. Q." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Both these symptoms are a result of old fecal matter being encouraged to leave the digestive tract, by either expelling this old matter very rapidly or, with constipation, the old matter forms a plug. In this case a saline solution enema used first thing each morning for two to three days would help clear the path and you should be on your way to comfortable bowel movements." - Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.)

"The rectum solidifies fecal matter and prompts the emptying of the bowel. The kidneys pass urine to the bladder, which causes urination. The skin also receives waste products that begin to surface at this time. Hence, the importance of washing or showering in the morning. The entire body is geared toward the excretion of useless waste material. About 70 percent of the body's waste is eliminated through the lungs, 20 percent through the skin, 7 percent through urine, and 3 percent through feces." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "On the other hand, a buildup of fecal matter and hardened layers of mucus (AMA) in the large intestine drastically slows down Vata's eliminative functions in the colon and also in the rest of the body. Similarly, the accumulation of gallstones in the liver and gallbladder hinder Vata's transportation of bile and thus impairs AGNI, the digestive fire. Congestion in both of these important parts of the body directly and indirectly increase the retention of harmful substances in the intestinal tract." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "By then AGNI is too low to handle large quantities of food, which results in the accumulation of toxic fecal matter in the intestines. Consequently you put on weight, despite your good "health habits." The commonly held belief that indigestible fiber cannot be digested and leaves our body unaltered applies only to the small intestine. But when it reaches the large intestine, the fiber is attacked and broken down by large numbers of residential bacteria. This causes fermentation and the common flatulence, headaches, heart pressure, irritability, tiredness, sleeping problems, etc." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"In truth, the average American probably has several pounds of hard, compacted fecal matter caked along the sides of their bowels by the time they're 30 years old. That's years worth of toxins festering away inside the body. If healthy, consistent bowel movements and regular colon cleansing had eliminated the bulk of these toxins, this situation could have been prevented. Toxic residue accumulates over time and can lead to swelling in the walls of the large intestine. This is just one of the more obvious symptoms of "bowel toxemia" or a toxic colon." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Just like the callus in the palm of the hand softens and disappears when hard work ends, polyps can also disappear when the toxic irritation of harmful foods (via fecal matter) is removed from the colon. Can a person who already has colon cancer benefit from a healthful diet? There is substantial evidence that a low-fat, no cholesterol diet can slow the growth of cancer and allow a person to live a longer, healthier life. In very rare cases people have recovered from colon cancer—this is called spontaneous remission." - John A. McDougall, Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up (Get the book.)

"In addition, waste materials that the skin tries to eliminate are reabsorbed and begin to enter the lymph and bloodstream. As fecal matter starts backing up in the colon, congestion occurs throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Lymph ducts become obstructed, leading to edema in the intestines and other parts of the body. Such lymphatic swellings can be felt, for example, as hard lumps above or around the belly button area. These knots, which can become as big as a fist, are sensitive to the touch (detectable when lying on the back). Most edema occurs in the cisterna chyli vessels." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Senna was significantly better than PEG with regard to colonic cleanliness and less fecal matter in the colonic lumen. The risk for moderate or large intraoperative fecal soiling was lower with Senna and overall clinical tolerance did not differ significantly between the treatment groups. Senna was better tolerated in patients with stenosis. There was no statistical difference between the treatment groups with postoperative infective complications or anastomotic leakage (Valverde, 1999)." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"As you are doing this, massage your colon to help loosen any fecal matter. Start on your right side and gradually move your fingers up toward the bottom of your rib cage, then across your abdomen and down the left side. Hold the solution in your body for three or four minutes before expelling it. THE COFFEE OR WHEATGRASS RETENTION ENEMA This type of enema is not hard to retain, since it is only a cup of liquid." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "As we age, the intestinal tract gets "out of shape" and the lining becomes covered with hard fecal matter and mucus, which makes absorption of nutrients more difficult. This is one reason why older people need to consume greater amounts of nutrients. It is also why it is so important to keep the colon clean. Fecal deposits can irritate the nerve endings in the colon, leading to spastic colon or inflamed colon. Both of these conditions interfere with bowel function and with the proper absorption of nutrients." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "External contamination from fecal matter, once a common source of salmonellosis, has almost been eliminated as a cause due to more stringent testing and inspection regimens implemented in the 1970s. The principal danger now comes from eggs because Salmonella enteritidis, the organism responsible for the majority of Salmonella infections, is now present in the ovaries of a significant percentage of egg-producing hens in the United States, and it contaminates the eggs before the shells form. Thus, eggs do not need to be cracked or unclean on the outside to be contaminated." - Phyllis A.
