Many people have suffered from a Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which is a bowel disorder that 15% of Americans have and is incurable. IBS can present symptoms such as mild to sever abdominal pain, discomfort and bloating that can be brought on by infections or stress but as of how it’s exactly caused still is unknown. There is a theory that IBS is a disorder caused by interaction between the brain and gastrointestinal tract.

But for many people suffering from IBS, some have dealt with the pains through dieting. Typically it is believed that people who have symptoms of IBS should stop eating foods that are high in fat, foods that contain insoluble fiber and beverages that may have a lot of caffeine, coffee or alcohol.

The truth is that many people, may the be healthy or unhealthy, because of the foods we eat, the beverages we drink and the air that we breath, the body is going to have a lot of bacteria and how our organs that deal with certain food and drink products, their can be toxins introduced to our bodies.

Fortunately, our liver, kidneys and colon (large intestines) do a great job of filtering out this waste but it’s not 100% effective. For example, the liver is very important in removing harmful substances in the bloodstream and eliminating the toxins. The kidneys remove waste from our urine and filters that out. The colon which is known for absorbing water and salt from foods will convert that food into waste (which we get rid of in a bowel movement). But not all of that waste is eliminated. In fact, some get stuck in our intestines and are stuck on the walls of the intestines and the longer they stay in there, they become toxic and poisonous. Studies have shown that a normal person may have up to 20+ pounds of dry fecal matter stuck in their colon.

Fortunately, a full body detox can eliminate these toxins from the body and there can only be positive benefits for doing a full body detox. [Read more →]

Many people are aware that there are some bacteria that humans come in contact through foods, drinks or via breathing but many may not be aware if they have parasites in their body. Yes, that is right. Many people may have pinworms, roundworms and other parasites in their body right now without even knowing it.

Parasites can get into the body through food (especially from raw meats), water, insect bites, sex, their pets and many other ways and it can be linked to our colon. The colon is very important in the body because not only does it absorb water from food but also converts a lot of the food to waste and makes us feel that bowel movement to help rid of that waste.

But what happens when the waste that has built up over the years and the colon and intestines get clogged up with mucoid plaque and toxic waste on the walls of the intestines? Well, parasites can live in all that crud and again, people may have parasites in their body that they may not even know about.

For many people who suffer from digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhea, stomach pains, etc. a lot of it can be traced to what they eat, overeat and the foods and drinks they put in their body.

In the body is the colon which is known for its absorption of water and salt in their body. If the colon absorbs to much water, then the food that is converted to waste becomes to dry and people will have problems constipating. But if the food that is converted to waste is expelled, there is always this residual waste or fecal matter that is stuck in the colon, especially on the intestinal walls. In fact, research has shown that a person may have up to 25 pounds of dry fecal matter stuck on their intestines and that includes a lot of toxic waste.

So, naturally, many people are looking into ways to rid and prevent these symptoms but also to cleanse their colon from these wastes. One major way to do this is by eating a high-fiber diet.
