I was at Whole Foods today (shocker) and I saw this whole section on colon cleansing products, detoxes etc. and all these products really are so misleading and can be down right bad for you.

Imagine a very, very, dusty, dirty house that no one has walked through or disrupted in years, then imagine rustling everything up in the house, shaking all the dust up… it would be everywhere, AND it would just settle back down again unless you did something to get the dust and debris OUT of the house. The same is true with these products, they aggressively rustle up the toxins and debris in your body (which by the way will make you feel like crap, and can make you sick). If you don’t get the debris and toxins out, your body will reabsorb them! This is fact. The only way out with these products or with the toxins in your colon is through your arse!

These products, (many use psyillium husks) help to draw out and absorb all the toxins in your body, and in your colon (most toxins and disease are held in the colon). These products literally turn into a gluey sponge on your insides, absorbing all the toxins in your colon- but they do nothing to help get them OUT OF YOUR BODY.

The key to detoxing and cleansing your internal system is through either colonics or enemas. A colonic is done by a professional and an enema is done by yourself at home. (I highly reccommend enema’s at home, they are easy to do and aren’t scary at all). Also dry skin brushing, sweating, and drinking tons of water are other ways to help your body detox. Eating meat is the number one way to tax your system and put more toxins into it.

I know it can feel a little silly talking about colon cleansing, and believe me I never thought I would be the one posting about it, but really it’s important to our health and vitality, and it has changed my life completely. I have never felt or looked better. Paying attention to detoxing and colon health has completely cleared up my skin as well. Acne is a sign that your liver and whole system is full of toxins, and your body tries to expel them through the skin.

So many of us focus on the outside and on our weight, without paying attention to whats happening on the inside of our bodies. If we can talk about cleaning our cars, why can’t we talk about cleaning our bodies? If you want your whole body to function better, if you want to look younger, have more energy and glow, than colonics and detoxing are the way to go.
