When
considering the question of human wellness today, it is worthwhile to examine the role of
nutrition and detoxification in achieving optimal health.
I believe there is one, and only one disease - and that is toxemia. This can be described
as the accumulation in the body of wastes, toxins, or poisons (free radicals). These
toxins accumulate primarily as a result of dietary habits, and do so in two different
ways.
It is no secret that the typical Western diet consists of over-processed, devitalized
foods grown with chemical fertilizers and sprayed with a multitude of toxic chemicals.
Ingesting these low-quality, frequently overcooked foods on a regular basis causes
malnourishment of the many specialized cells in the body, to the point where they become
dysfunctional and die.
A second harmful aspect of the common diet is its high fat and low fibre content - meat,
fish, eggs, and dairy products. These foods tend to move through the digestive tract at a
quarter of the pace of fresh fruits and vegetables. Fibreless foods tend to be sticky and
gooey when digested, adhering easily to the walls of the colon as they pass through. This
causes a gradual build-up of toxic residue, as layer upon layer of waste matter
accumulates to the point where five to 40 pounds of fecal material can be found residing
in this important canal.
Prolapsed Colon
These focal deposits in the bowel may then lead to another
condition known as "prolapsed colon". When the muscle tone of the colon is
inadequate (unable to deal with the extra pounds weighing it down), it can start to impose
on the uterus, ovaries, bladder, and other organs In the abdominal area. No wonder so many
women experience reproductive problems and discomforts.

Cause and Effect
As the environment inside the colon be comes increasingly toxic,
parasites, bacteria, fungi, germs and viruses tend to readily proliferate. The fecal
matter is very acidic and will, over time, damage the colon wall, leading to inflammation
and enlargement of the pores which pass nutrients and moisture between the colon and the
bloodstream. These enlarged pores then allow the bacteria and toxins to pass into the
bloodstream.
Candida Albicans
Candida Albicans is a new disease receiving increased attention
these days. is simply the result of a diseased colon leaking the Candida yeast through the
colon wall into the bloodstream which is then carried throughout the body.
Conversely, a healthy colon will properly contain the Candid. yeast, where it can do the
job for which it is intended - making fecal waste biodegradable.
To treat Candida infections, the colon needs first to be detoxified, thereby reducing
tissue inflammation, and halting the movement of yeast into the bloodstream. Any therapy
or treatment that ignores this important fact will not create long term positive results.
This is much the same for all diseases. As toxins run amuck throughout the body, they
settle into the tissue, causing many diseased conditions that are basically symptoms of
the same cause, toxemia.
Allopathic Medicine
Allopathic medicine is the treatment of disease using substances that produce effects
different from, or opposite to. those produced by the disease. This focus has led to a
specific understanding of symptoms but not cause. The absolute simplicity of toxemia as a
possible cause of many disease conditions has gone unrecognized as it does not conform to
the mind-set which recognizes technology and science as the remedy for the disease
process.
I believe that a better understanding of the nature of toxemia can lead to a better
understanding of how and why to cleanse and detoxify the body.
Detoxification programs and cleansing diets are some of the methods which can assist the
body to rid itself of waste and unhealthy tissue.
Given time, the waste in the colon be comes as hard and black as
tire rubber. To aid the body in its elimination process, the severity of the problem must
be first recognized. Simply eating a high fibre diet will not cleanse the body, and
fasting one day a week, although beneficial, has its limitations. Therefore, a sustained
program of treatment lasting several months is recommended to loosen and dislodge
impacted waste. In addition, it is important to cleanse the the body and its tissues of
accumulated toxins at the cellular level.
