and Colon Cleansing, Women and Colonic Health by: Nadia Alterio
90% of all sickness and disease begins
inside an unclean colon.
Toxins and waste build up in your
colon just like they do in the pipes of your home. Both demand immediate
attention or the results can be disastrous.
Colon cancer is second only to lung
cancer in terms of cancer deaths in the U.S., claiming the lives of nearly
50,000 men and women annually.
Have you ever said to yourself, "I'm
not constipated or backed-up. I go to bathroom everyday.
I don't need a colon cleansing" ...or
do you? Keep reading to find out if you're toxic!
The benefits of colon hydrotherapy
The colon plays a remarkable role
in our body's health. The condition of our colon has very significant effects
on every organ in the human body and on our sense of well being in general.
Despite what you may think or your
daily bowel movements, many people are not aware of the fact that they
need a good colon cleansing. Most people don't realize that the complete
length of their colon is wedged with old, hardened fecal matter that only
leaves a narrow enough channel for small, softer feces to pass through.
Failure to cleanse your colon is like having an internal garbage dumping
grounds within you left to accummulate as the years pass.
Your colon is the sewage system of
your body. If the wastes in your colon are allowed to build up, they will
decay and be absorbed through the walls of your colon and into your bloodstream.
These toxins can poison your brain and nervous system so that you become
depresses, weak, irritable, heavy and lethargic.
Your breath becomes foul because
the toxins poison your lungs, you become bloated and distressed because
the toxins have accummulated in your digestive tract, and your skin becomes
sallow and unhealthy because of the toxins floating around in your blood.
Every organ in your body is affected. You feel and look older, your joints
become still and painful, your eyes get dull and your thinking becomes
sluggish. Thus, the joy of living is no more!
Are you toxic?
Symptoms associated with toxic buildup
and constipation:
Fatigue, Headaches, Irritablility,
Anxiety, Nervousness, Gas-Belching or Flatulence!
Nausea and Abdominal Discomfort,
Protruding, Tender or Rigid Abdomen,
Bad or Sagging Posture, INSOMNIA,
Skin Blemishes, Acne, Sallow Complexion
Dark Circles Under Eyes, Brittle
Hair and Nails, BAD BREATH!
Coated Tongue, Body Odors, Cold Hands
and Feet, Lower Back Pain,
Menstrual Problems, High or Low Blood
Pressure, Swollen Legs, Lack of Sexual Response
Lack of Interest in Work or Life,
Loss of Memory, Difficulties Concentrating, Overweight Or Obese,
Underweight, Poor Appetite, Neuritis
and Neuralgia (aches and pains throughout the body)
A healthy colon is important
The years of poor dietary habits,
stress, little exercise, illnesses, smoking or drinking, pill popping,
indigestion, constipation, the use of laxatives, etc. is all very taxing
on the colon. When this becomes overburdening to your colon, it will no
longer function as it's supposed to. Undigested food and body wastes accumulate,
harden and become fixed into the walls of your colon further hindering
complete elimination from the body.
Wondering where those extra pounds
on you came from?
Over time, accumulated fecial matter
causes the colon to become distorted in shape as anywhere from 5 to 40
pounds of matter can accumulate. This puts an unnecssary strain on the
surrounding organs, the nervous system and even interferes with the absorption
of essential nutrients from the colon.
As time passes and further fecial
matter accumulates in the colon, excessive fermentation and putrefacation
occurs which leads to the condition known as autointoxication. The toxins
from this accumulated fecal matter are absorbed into the bloodstream and
spread throughout the body. This then results in the weakening of the body
and an open invitation to a whole slew of immune system-related diseases.
Structural, functional and metabolic
imbalances are manifested in various forms. The effects of autointoxication
and constipation in the colon reslts in either ballooning, colitis, diverticulitis,
mucosal dysfunction, spastic bowel, strictures and ulceration.
A toxic colon will also affect the
frequency at which you get colds, the flu and it will reduce your body's
ablity to recover from illnesses as quick as it should. If left unchecked,
serious problems can arise, but there are ways to restore colonic health
and thus your body to it's optimal health.
The benefits of colon irrigation
Colon Irrigation is a method of colon
cleansing and detoxification. Water is filtered through the intestine while
the abdominal area is massaged thus softening and loosening the old impacted
fecal matter and toxins built up in the colon. As your colon is cleansed,
the process of autointoxication and its resulting health problems are reversed.
The colon then repairs itself and and will start to function properly again.

Emotional
Freedom - At YOUR Fingertips! by: Silvia Hartmann
What would you say if I told you
I know of a simple method that can make emotional stress such as upset,
anger, fear, concern and distress simply melt away in a few minutes and
all you had to do to achieve this is simply touch a few "magical points"
on your face and hands?
Yes, it's true, it can be done, and
you can learn to do how in a few minutes, for free, if you're interested.
I am delighted to introduce to the
most important innovation in self help and psychology this millenium has
seen so far - Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT for short.
Based on the well known and highly
effective Chinese system of body meridians, EFT doesn't use needles but
instead, soothes and stimulates the energy flow by lightly and gently tapping
on main meridian connector points.
EFT is so simple that even a young
child can learn to do it in minutes.
EFT is so profoundly relaxing and
mood changing that even therapists many years experience simply have to
shake their heads and declare they have never seen anything like it.
So Simple, So Easy ...
Like many profoundly useful things
in this world, EFT is extremely simple. A straightforward easy to use protocol
designed by Stanford Engineer Gary Craig to cover all of the most important
meridian points in a single treatment lasting about five minutes ensures
that users need know nothing at all about meridians or the finer points
of Chinese medicine to experience profound relief right away.
What s more, the basic Emotional
Freedom Techniques protocol is absolutely free and freely available to
try out and for you to share with friends, loved ones and anyone else you
wish to share it with.
The Benefits Of Acupuncture, Acupressure
& Massage
Everyone who has experienced the
calm and restful state that follows a good massage, or has been treated
with acupuncture for example, knows that working directly with the meridian
system really produces profound changes in how we feel inside.
The great advance of the new meridian
therapies, of which EFT is the embassador, is to focus the mind on a particular
disturbance whilst stimulating the energy system at the same time. By thinking
about your problem, you automatically target the right parts of your meridian
system and without years of study, that s something anyone can do.
Perfect For Emotional Crisis Management
And what could be more appropriate
than having something that can help you right in a middle of crisis? That
is the time when your mind is absolutely focussed on the problem; in many
cases such as physical pain or severe upset, it is the only thing we can
think about. Whilst we are in the crisis we are in the perfect place to
use EFT to target the root causes of the problem and help alleviate the
symptoms and disturbances swiftly.
No Will Power Required!
Now here is one of the most fantastic
news about EFT.
EFT *melts away distress* of all
kinds - and it is distress we try to get away from with anger outbursts,
over-eating, with substance and activity addictions, with procrastination,
with depression, with sickness and with headaches.
When the distress is gone, you are
free to CHOOSE YOUR OWN DESTINY, and there is no more will power required.
A Miracle Technique - And It Is FREE!
EFT has certainly been described
in terms of being miraculous, and not just once but a hundred thousand
times or more, by very different people with very different problems, by
professionals and simple folk alike, all around the World.
EFT works first time for about 85%
of the population, but even if it just manages to noticeably reduce feelings
of anxiety, fear, anger for you personally, that could be a starting point
to a whole new level of happiness and health.
You can try a short version right
now - the Two Minute Stress Release Technique. You are very welcome to
share it too with your friends and family. You can find this and a totally
free complete EFT protocol as well in the "Free & Premium" section
at http://starfields.org
.
I encourage you to simply try it
for yourself.
I have been around the houses with
personal development and healing. Hypnosis, NLP, Reiki, Meditation, Personal
Development, Psychology - for 25 years I have been researching techniques
for change and I have NEVER come across anything as profoundly useful and
as userfriendly as EFT has turned out to be.
It has helped me personally immensely,
it has helped not only my clients but my friends and my children too.
I cannot rate EFT highly enough.
I cannot recommend it strongly enough.
So go and try it now. It's free,
it's simple.
You have absolutely nothing to lose,
but you could gain the very real possibility of absolute Emotional Freedom
At Your Fingertips.

A
Natural Diet: What is it? Dr. Clifford A. Adams
In our modern world we are continually
bombarded with dietary advice as to what is good and what is not good.
In recent years there has been considerable emphasis on "natural foods"
and "organic foods", all of which are supposedly better for you than conventional
foods, whatever that is. We are told to reduce consumption of red meat,
eggs, fat and salt, to eat more white meat, fish, fruits and vegetables,
to drink modest amounts of red wine, and to eat lots of carbohydrates in
pastas and cereals. Drinking tea or coffee may be good or bad for you depending
on the latest results of some nutritional study somewhere.
All this dietary information overload
provoked the questions: What is a natural diet ? How can we define a natural
diet ?
First, we can look back into our
evolutionary history and follow the progress of our diet over time. We,
as modern humans, belong to the genus Homo sapiens which first emerged
about 90,000 years ago. For about 80,000 years humans obtained food from
hunting and gathering in the wild. Only in the last 10,000 years of this
period has agriculture become the dominant way of providing food. A period
of 10,000 years represents about 500 generations, and in this relatively
short period in evolutionary time, there will only be minor genetic differences
between modern man and hunter-gatherers. Consequently, if we are what we
eat, then we are also what our ancestor hunter-gatherers ate. Our digestive
physiology is still attuned, not to the food on the supermarket shelves,
but to those items on the hunter-gatherer menu.
So what did they eat ?
Before the agricultural age, human
hunter-gatherers depended on wild animals, fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Curiously enough, in contrast to modern diets the hunter-gatherers consumed
very little cereal grains. It seems that the diet of hunter-gatherers was
16-25% plant foods and 75-84% animal foods. Nevertheless, it would have
been a very diverse diet and contained a good range of macronutrients,
micronutrients and of nutricines (bioactive food components).
Life as a hunter-gather, however,
was probably not too much fun and it would have been difficult to ensure
that adequate supplies of food were available at all times. Also, the hunter-gatherer
life style is not suited to support large settled populations. Nevertheless,
a diverse diet was undoubtedly a valuable strategy in times of uncertain
food supply.
Some other ideas on a natural diet
may come from comparing our digestive physiology with that of other animal
species on this planet that still have a natural diet. For example, true
carnivores, such as the cats, have a simpler digestive system than humans,
because animal products generally do not require prolonged digestion times.
At the other end of the scale, plant-eaters,
such as cattle and horses, consume
a large amount of cellulose which is not easy to digest but which they
must use as an energy source. Vegetarian animals have evolved specially
enlarged parts of the digestive tract to digest this cellulose by fermentation.
This is the function of the rumen in cattle and the caecum and colon in
horses. The human gut, however, does not fit neatly into either of these
two extreme categories, which reflects our omnivorous or diverse food habit.
Humans also have some important nutritional
requirements. For example, the omega fatty acids are important constituents
of nervous tissue. Plant foods are poor in omega fatty acids, but they
are quite common in animal fats and fish oils. An adequate supply of these
fatty acids is particularly critical in the first five years of human life
when brain growth and development is completed. Proteins of animal origin,
by and large, are more easily digested by humans than are proteins of plant
origin. These observations are strong evidence for an evolutionary adaptation
to a meat-based diet for humans.
On the other hand, the inability
of humans to synthesise vitamin C is also evidence for the necessity of
foods of plant origin. Leaves and fruits of wild plants are rich in vitamin
C compared to foods of animal origin and so humans have probably adapted
to a diet where vitamin C is supplied from plant foods.
The development of agriculture meant
that food could now be obtained in greater quantities in a more dependable
fashion. However, this also brought an increased dependency upon cereal
grains as a major source of food. Paradoxically, an increased dependence
on cereal grains generally involves a decrease in the nutritional quality
of the diet, since the major cereal grains are low or lacking in essential
vitamins and minerals and have low protein quality. Consequently, people
who rely on a cereal such as rice or maize as a major food source often
suffer various problems of malnutrition.
The widespread and reliable availability
of food now allows us Homo sapiens to choose our food items, but we still
have not adapted genetically much beyond the hunter-gatherer stage. This
suggests that increasing the consumption of animal products, fruits, vegetables
and nuts relative to cereal grains is probably quite in line with the dietary
pattern to which we humans are genetically adapted. Perhaps, a natural
diet is a goodly mixture of everything from soup to nuts including plenty
of meat, vegetables, fruit and wine. Fortunately, this is a diet which
I find quite natural.
