Why is fiber so
important?
Fiber is essential for intestinal health. Fiber keeps the
digestive tract from getting clogged up with mucus, toxins and
metabolic waste. It keeps the colon clean and waste matter
moving. Fiber feeds and maintains a healthy intestinal flora.

Is the Psyllium in COLON CLEANSE� a
fiber from wheat grain?
Psyllium is a fiber grain, however it is not related to wheat.
Psyllium is a natural bulking agent, that yields 60 to 70 percent
soluble fiber, eight times that of oat bran. Psyllium expands
50-60 times in the stomach to provide this bulk or "roughage."
What is the soluble fiber in COLON
CLEANSE�?
The husk is composed mostly of a soluble fiber called
hemicellulose. The soluble fiber adds bulk to the stomach and
absorbs fluids to form a gel-like substance that stimulates the
rhythmic muscular contractions in the colon responsible for the
evacuation process.
Does the soluble fiber from COLON CLEANSE�
regulate cholesterol?
Soluble fiber from foods such as Psyllium Husk, as part of a diet
low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart
disease. Cholesterol attaches itself to fiber and is carried out
of the body with solid waste matter. A serving of Colon Cleanse�
supplies 5 grams of the 7 grams of soluble fiber necessary per day
to have this effect.
How does the soluble fiber from Psyllium
clean the colon?
Psyllium helps to absorb toxins in the colon by creating a spongy,
gelatinous mass in the bowels. By swelling and absorbing fluids,
it breaks down and moves toxic waste matter stuck in the folds and
crevices of the colon. A clean colon inhibits harmful bacteria
from surviving on human waste. Psyllium husk soothes the lining of
the bowel and leaves a thin slippery film along the inner lining
of the colon which makes it easier for waste generated later to
move along smoothly.
How much COLON CLEANSE� can be taken
daily?
Depending on the individual, as little as one teaspoon of Psyllium
a day can promote regularity. One tablespoon up to three times
daily is the maximum dose. However, results may not take place for
3 or more days. Psyllium is an excellent source of fiber, puts no
strain on nerve reflexes, does not damage bowel tone and is safe
for long term use. 32 grams per day, but not more than 7 grams (about
1 heaping tablespoon) per dose.
How long can I take COLON CLEANSE�?
For best results you can take Psyllium everyday. Psyllium provides
safe, gentle and effective cleansing.
Is there an appropriate diet for COLON
CLEANSE�?
Common sense about eating healthy foods is always recommended,
however no particular diet is needed.
|
| Does COLON CLEANSE�
cause allergic reactions?
Allergic reactions can never be ruled out when introducing
anything new into the body. However, Psyllium should not be
compared to insoluble fiber such as wheat bran, where
irritation and allergic reactions are often present. Some
individuals may feel minor discomfort with gas or bloating the
first few days. In this case, reduce your dose to half and
increase gradually to the suggested use over a period of about
2 weeks. |

Can I take medication
and /or pills while taking COLON CLEANSE�?
There are no known contraindications, however there is some
speculation about pills possibly binding to Psyllium preventing
them from disintegrating and breaking down properly. Although
there is no hard evidence of this, taking medication or pills one
hour before or after COLON CLEANSE� is recommended.
How much water should be taken with COLON
CLEANSE�?
Psyllium should be mixed with at least 8 ounces of water, juice or
your favorite beverage and swallowed quickly, because of the
immediate thickening action. 8-10 glasses of water throughout the
day is recommended. Eating this product without enough liquid may
cause choking. Do not take this product if you have difficulty in
swallowing.

"Purging
the bowels eliminates the source of poison, thereby permitting
blood and energy to regenerate naturally. By cleansing the bowels we
repair the body"

"The very best
diets can be no better than the very worst if the sewage system of the colon is
clogged with a collection of waste and corruption." |

" About the only place you
see a normal healthy colon today is in an anatomy
book.Regardless of your financial standing, regardless of your past health
history, regardless of your age or sex, |
|
YOU
have this hardened mucus in your
colon, and you will be amazed by what comes out of you"
V.E. Irons, pioneer in colonic cleansing and tissue
detoxification. |

"The digestive system is the hub of the entire body. It feeds all our glands,
organs and in fact, every single cell. When the digestive system become
sluggish, over-acid, and toxic it becomes less and less efficient. After the
bowel becomes unnaturally acidic, it attempts to protect itself by secreting a
glycoprotein substance that lines the entire intestinal wall, "mucoid plaque."
Indeed, this condition can occur anywhere in the digestive tract where over
acidity arises, including the oesophagus, the stomach, the entire small
intestine and colon.
Once this develops, proper digestion becomes more and more dysfunctional. Then
one problem occurs after another, and the bowel becomes a toxic sewer system.
Once the bowel becomes toxic, the blood becomes toxic, for all the blood coming
from the bowel, carrying the necessary nutrients to feed the heart, lungs,
brain, muscles, etc. goes to the liver - nowhere else. Then the liver must deal
with the toxic blood. After years of relentless toxicity from the bowel, the
liver becomes more and more sluggish. After a while it no longer functions
efficiently and toxic overloads begin to go to other parts of the body, such as
the kidneys, heart, brain, joints, skin, Iymph, etc. Disease manifests where the
toxins settle. For when there is toxic settlement, there is lack of circulation,
lack of oxygen and nutrients."
Dr. Rich Anderson, ND |

"Unless you live an ascetic life far from civilization and avoid all dietary
folly, your blood and other tissues are bound to accumulate toxins and gradually
lose their functional vitality. If you don't purge yourself of these toxins on a
regular basis, [your condition] gets worse and worse, until the body cannot
stand it any longer and either purges itself spontaneously in the form of
diarrhea, acne, pimples, boils, 'liver spots', foul perspiration, body odour,
bad breath and so forth, or else it simply gives up the battle and succumbs to
cancer, tuberculosis and other fatal conditions."
"The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity" |

"Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the bowel. When the
bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty, and so on to the organs and tissues....it is
the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing
can take place."
Dr. Bernard Jensen; DC,ND, PhD. |

"Of the 22,000 operations that I have personally performed, I have never found a
single normal colon, and of the 100,000 that were performed under my
jurisdiction, not over 6% were normal"
Dr. Harvey Kellogg, MD. |
"There is but one disease and that is deficient drainage."
Sir Arbuthnot Lane MS, FRCS, surgeon for the King of England
"Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is
probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel
syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not
things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in
the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies usually reveal colons
that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material."
Vegetarian Times, March, 1998
