Introduction to Colon Cleansing
So, why do we need colon cleansing? One word...
Toxins.
If you found your way into this site, you're probably suffering from some sort of ailment, whether it's constipation, acne, candida, brain fog, or just a constant feeling of sluggishness. Most likely, that ailment is related some way to the colon.
You see, the colon is one organ that indirectly and directly affects all the other organs in the body. When it's clogged up, the liver can't do its job properly. When the liver can't work efficiently, the kidney suffers, etc. So to start curing our symptoms and to get better, we must first start cleansing the colon.
The truth is our colon, for most of us, is in an unhealthy state, filled with mucoid plaque, toxins, and a complete mess. Our colon is clogged, leading to constipation. How did we reach this state? Through a combination of a bad diet, poor lifestyle choices, and bad living conditions.
Take, our diet for instance. Most Americans consume too much protein. Protein is necessary, and completely healthy, but too much can lead to over-acidity, which is not good. An overabundance of acid in the body can take a toll on the colon, as it depletes necessary minerals and electrolytes from our body. This then leads to the inability of the colon to tackle harmful bacteria, and toxins.
Many of us also overeat. We all know weight gain is a huge problem, but that notwithstanding, eating too much in one sitting can have serious long-term effects. Ideally, we shouldn't eat more than a handful of food in 1 meal. Overeating leads to an overuse of enzymes, and can cause our colon to work even harder.
Of course, I haven't even mentioned the "food" we eat in a daily basis. Cookies, cakes, processed foods, chips, sweets, etc. all were not meant to be eaten by man. Eating unnatural foods is a big reason why there is mucoid plaque stuck in our colon, and why we all should
Living in a World of ToxinsOur environment is also another major cause for an unhealthy colon. Unless you live with the Eskimos, you probably are subjected to pollution, secondary smoking, harmful chemicals, pesticides, etc. every single day. Our immune system has to work overtime to rid our body of these nasty chemicals. This weakening of the immune system leads to a weakening of the colon as well.
Colon cleansing is a safe, alternative method to treat many of our symptoms and problems. It's not just for people with constipation, but for anyone who wishes to feel better, and strengthen their inner organs. Cleansing is necessary to rid our body of toxins that accumulate as a result of an unhealthy diet, environmental pollution and chemicals, and a constant use of antibiotics.
Bowel cleansing is not just about cleansing the colon. It's about indirectly cleansing our small intestines, large intestines, and stomach as well.
When we do a cleanse, we are actually cleansing our entire body.
What does our colon do?First off, where is our colon and what is it used for? The colon consists of the portion of the large intestine that runs from the cecum down to our rectum. The large intestine's purpose is to store waste, reabsorb water, and helps maintain electrolyte and water balance. The largest intestine does not play any part in actually digesting our food (although bacteria do use the fiber for their own benefit) - that's already done in the small intestine.
How do I know if I have a healthy colon?Simple, if you have at least one bowel movement a day, with solid bowels, and very little constipation. Of course, if you're a weight-lifter and eat 4000-5000 calories a day (Scary, I know), 2 or so bowel movements is normal. But if you're like normal people, you should ideally only have 1-2 bowel movements a day. No more, no less.

We all need CleansingEven if you don't have constipation, colon cleansing can help anyone, especially older people. All of us are subjected to unhealthy toxins day in and day out. These toxins come from an unhealthy diet, the environment (such as pesticides or pollution), stress, overeating or under-eating, or malnourishment. These toxins all place a burden on our colon and make it work harder than necessary. Colon cleansing can remove these toxins and make our colon work more efficiently. 
We routinely clean our furniture, our toilets, our cars, and the like. Why? To get rid of junk that accumulates. Our body essentially works the same way. Junk, in the form of toxins accumulates and burdens our major organs such as our larges intestine. When our intestine is clogged, we can't absorb necessary nutrients. Toxins circulate back to our body, causing autoimmune diseases such as acne. Cleansing our bowels is a way of maintaining a clean, efficient body.
Colon cleansing is especially critical to those who want to start detoxifying their bodies. In order to start cleansing other organs such as the liver, or kidneys, one should start with the bowels first. Why? Because when you detoxify other organs, it will lead to toxins leaving the body through the colon. But if the colon can't do its job effectively, these toxins will eventually return back to the body, which can cause a whole myriad of other problems.
So, it's essential that you do a colon cleanse before you clean out your other organs.
