Before cleansing any other internal organs and starting your liver on a gradual activation routine cleansing the bowel is the most essential part of regaining health!
Don't use!
Frequent Enemas: Inserting water or specific acting liquids into the rectum, building a reliance if used more than a few times per year.
Extreme laxatives: Synthetic or herbal laxatives that are dangerously powerful.
Colonics: Colonic irrigation and colonic hydrotherapy.
I do not recommend using colonics they can be detrimental for various reasons.
The effects can be too sudden, causing pain and discomfort and allowing new foods to create the same issue that caused the old filthy problems.
The bodily tissues can become reliant upon the effects, while slower natural methods will strengthen the muscles to act on their own.
The use of chemicals and the rough action of flushing the colon can cause damage while intending to help heal the body.
Eating a SAD diet and getting a colonic can have more adverse effects by allowing the toxic food to be more easily absorbed.
The immediate cleansing of the colon can cause a prolapse, cramping and other problem with the colon.
This is an example of what is built up along the walls of the colon from years of a standard american diet. This photo is from a colonic and a very sudden cleanse that can be detrimental.
I suggest using simple slow acting bowel formulas or high fiber slow cooked low heat vegan soups and mostly low fat raw fruits and easy to digest green leafy foods to cleanse the bowel properly allowing the body to rebuild tissue naturally and with nutrition, to cleanse the colon smoothly and painlessly with no negative side effects. This is the first step towards regaining health and one of the only herb products I would use is Dr. Christopher's brand seen here.
The Lower Bowel Formula!
Formerly known as Fen LB and Naturalax II or Naturalax 2
available in capsule form. Also available in glycerine extract form.
Description: This is one of Dr. John R. Christopher's most famous and popular formulas. To many this formula is known as an herbal laxative; however, to many herbalists it is much more than this. One of the most important and beneficial factors of this formula is how it stimulates peristaltic action within the lower bowel and the whole body.
The average person has many pounds of old dried fecal matter that is stored in the colon. This toxifys the system and keeps the food from being assimilated. This putrefied condition causes people to engorge themselves with several times the actual body requirements of food. In the process, they wear out their bodies in trying to get sufficient nutrition and still have that nagging hunger. After the bowel is cleaned, food is readily assimilated, and a person can sustain himself on about one-third the quantity of his usual food consumption and have some four or five times the power, vitality and life! The clean body is able to normally assimilate the simple food values through the cell structures in the colon instead of it being trapped in a maze of waste and inhibited by the hard fecal casing on the intestinal wall. This casing causes the large part of nutrition to be pushed on and eliminated before it can do any good. When the body is completely clean, the bowel aids will no longer be necessary— your food will be your medicine and your medicine will be your food. After following this program properly and the bowels are cleansed, this formula should only be used when needed.
Ingredients: Cascara Sagrada Bark, Barberry Bark, Cayenne Pepper, Ginger Root, Lobelia Herb, Red Raspberry Leaves, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Fennel Seeds & Goldenseal Root.
Ailments traditionally used for: Dr. Christopher believed that almost all diseases start with a blockange in some part of the body. The most common form of blockage is the accumulation of impurities in the lower bowel, therefore, the first place to begin when starting a natural routine is cleansing and rebuilding the bowel area. There are too many ailments to list which can be treated by cleansing the lower bowel with this formula.
Directions: Dosage is according to personal need, as there are no two people alike in age, size, or physical construction—even the bowel itself will differ in persons as much as the finger prints.
Most people will start with two capsules or 30 drops of the glycerine based extract three times a day, and then regulate the dosage from there. If the stool seems too loose, then cut down, but if it is difficult to get a bowel movement and the stool is hard and takes a long time, then increase the amount until the movements become soft and well-formed. In very difficult cases, one could take even up to 40 of these capsules a day—these herbs are only food and can do no damage.
After the hard incrustations of fecal matter that have been “stored†in the bowel for many years break loose and are eliminated, one can gradually decrease but do not taper off the Lower Bowel Formula dosage so much at this point that one lose this advantageous momentum and continuity of elimination. In most cases, improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles to quit working. It will take six to nine months with the aid of the Lower Bowel Formula for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently to have the peristaltic muscles work entirely on their own.
Once you have sufficiently begun or completed cleaning out your bowel and changing your diet and lifestyle, you can begin cleansing deeper into the body with Kidney and Liver Cleansing.
