No
matter what age, no matter what state, you can begin now to take steps towards
a better health and feeling great. Here's a list of ten (10) suggestions to get
you started.
1.
Check your weight. Many
disorders are directly attributed to being overweight. Use the BMI Calculator to
determine if you're over-weight, under-weight or even obese.
2.Drink less. Most people are unaware that
regularly drinking alcohol can lead to a wide range of long-term problems,
including cancer, stroke, kidney problems n heart attacks.
3.
Eat less salt and fat. Too
much salt in your food can cause high blood pressure and make you 3x more
likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.
4.
Exercise regularly. The
benefits of exercise aren't limited to losing weight. Even a small amount of
regular activity can lower d risk of developing major chronic diseases such as
coronary heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
5.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies are super, nutrient-dense
foods if consumed right. Eaten in their variety of colors, they nourish the
heart, the eyes, the skin, and virtually every organ of the body. Additionally,
no one ever grew fat while feasting on fruits :)
6.
Keep stress in check.
Stress decimates your immune levels and if left unchecked can lead to further
health problems such as high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.
7.
Improve your sleep. Not
getting enough can affect your relationships, your performance at work, and it
can delay recovery from illness.
8.
Quit smoking. The
health benefits of quitting are immediate. After 20 mins your pulse and blood
pressure return to normal. After 24hrs your lungs start to clear. After 3 days
you can breathe more easily and your energy increases.
9.
Get a health test. Many
people don't notice any symptoms when they have a sexually transmitted
infection like Chlamydia or gonorrhea. For example, Chlamydia if left untreated
can affect a woman's ability to get pregnant.
10.
Check that lump.
Sometimes, noticing a small change, like a lump, changes to a mole, or
unexplained weight loss, can make a big difference to your health.
No one
can go back to re-write the past but anyone can start today to script the
future of their dreams. Determine in your heart to make the right choices today - eat right,
drink right, and exercise. Why? Cos your body matters :)

The Royal Society of Medicine of
Great Britain, comprised of 57 leading physicians, reported: "Death begins
in the colon." They concluded that nearly every contemporary chronic
disease is related to poisons in the colon.
In order to have good health, we
must have good blood; for the blood is the current of life. Clean blood is a
first essential for health of body and mind. Clean blood is impossible without
a clean colon. The impurities of the body, if not allowed to escape, are taken
back into the blood and forced upon the internal organs. Nature, to relieve
herself of poisonous impurities, makes an effort to free the system.
"If the colon is not working
properly, toxins must exit the body through other routes: the kidneys, the
skin, the breath. Many of these patients have bad halitosis, body odor, etc.
When a person becomes ill from colon disease, he or she may develop a variety
of symptoms, including headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, autoimmune diseases
like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or cardiovascular disease."
William L. Cowden, M.D.
Can you
imagine what would happen to a plate of food left on the counter in 98 degree
heat for two days? After two days, very likely the plate would hold an unsightly, sticky mix of
•
Rotten protein
• Rancid fat
• Fermenting carbohydrates
• Filled with feeding and hatching organisms and microbes.
That is not
far from what happens inside the colon when food, for whatever
reasons, is not properly digested.
The colon is a sewerage system, but
by neglect and abuse it becomes a cesspool. When it is clean and normal we are
well and happy. Let it stagnate, and it will distil the poisons of decay,
fermentation and putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the brain and nervous
system so that we become mentally depressed and irritable, it will poison the
heart so that we are weak and listless, poisons the lungs so that the breath
is foul, poisons the digestive organs so that we are distressed and bloated, and
poisons the blood so that the skin is sallow and unhealthy. In short, every
organ of the body is poisoned, and we age prematurely, look and feel old, the
joints are still and painful, neuritis, dull eyes and a sluggish brain overtake
us; the pleasure of living is gone.
Both fat and skinny people hold
large amounts of mucoid matter in their colon. I often hear people say,
"Oh! I don’t need colon therapy! I go two or three times a day!"
Regularity is NOT a reliable yardstick here. Mucoid lining build up begins as
early as age six".
"When the most popular cowboy in movie history died (his name was John…)
over seventy (70) pounds of mucoid matter was removed from his colon upon
autopsy. The odour was beyond description. The great actor's transverse colon,
the part that hangs over men's belt line, was almost 12 inches in diameter. Yet
the lumen (opening) through which his waste flowed was only 1 inch in diameter.
The difference was accumulated mucoid matter, toxins and drugs. A
"healthy" colon should be about two inches in total diameter".
"When you see a person's belly hanging over the belt line, or filling a
women's pelvic area, you are seeing a VERY engorged and prolapsed (i.e sagging)
colon."
"When the bowel is that dirty, it can harbour an amazing variety of very
harmful bacteria and parasites. It's interesting to note that worms outrank
cancer as man's deadliest enemy on a worldwide basis. It is estimated that 200
million people worldwide are infected by these intestinal parasites".
"These worms range in size from microscopic single-celled animals to 20
foot long tapeworms. These parasites kill more people annually than cancer. One
in four people in the world today are infected by roundworms"
"The need for bowel sanitation and cleanliness has been sadly neglected
for sometime now. A bowel movement every two or three days is considered normal
and acceptable. We of the holistic professions know better. Our experiences
prove beyond doubt that poor bowel condition is the source for many, many
disorders in the body. Recently, medical researchers in African countries have
had a first-hand opportunity to verify these beliefs".
"Both British and South African medical scientists strongly insist that
what is usually referred to as "regularity" may be a matter of life
and death. An insufficient number of bowel movements, and too little fibre and
bulk in the faeces may often explain the existence of gall bladder disorders,
heart problems, varicose veins, appendicitis, clotting in deep veins, hiatal
hernia, diverticulitis, arthritis and cancer of the colon. This complete
turn-around in medical orientation comes from top-notch surgeons and
biochemists".
Research groups like H.S Goldsmith (Lancet, 1975) and Reddy and Wynder (Journal
of the National Health Institutes, 1975) reported that "Westerners produce
small amounts of faeces every 24 to 48 hours, and that their stools are hard,
segmented, frequently painful and difficult to excrete. On the other hand,
eaters of primitive diets eliminate three times as much waste with soft and
voluminous faeces that are easy to excrete. Westerners excrete the remains of food
eaten two days earlier, while groups like the Hunza report a maximum intestinal
transit time of ten hours. The danger of constipation is highly underestimated.
The rule for regularity is: one meal in – one
meal out.
When “that stuff” lingers longer than it should
…bad things can happen.
Just think about that plate of
rotting, infested food on the counter and it is easy to understand Dr. Jensen’s
warning; “Death Begins in the Colon.”
Controlling or eliminating constipation …
is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health.
The consequences of colon toxins, from the
accumulating, rotting debris, colon parasites, attached to the wall of a
sluggish colon, damaging your body, stealing your food, poisoning your body
with their wastes are going to make you sick before it kills you.
Your body performs four functions to process the
food you eat into the substances it needs to sustain itself:
Ingestion,
you select, prepare and eat food – the part of the process you control.
Digestion,
the conversion of solid food into liquid nutrients to energize your body,
support the repair and replacement of cells and tissue that are damaged or
worn everyday.
Assimilation,
the movement of nutrients from the intestinal tract, through the blood
stream to support cellular function.
Elimination,
the gathering and movement of cellular wastes through the blood stream
back to the intestinal tract to be discarded from the body.
Once you start chewing, 9 orderly automatic
processes begin:
A
signal is sent to evacuate the bowel to make room for the new batch of
nutrients (one meal in – one meal out).
Your
stomach begins creating acid and other gastric juices to convert the meal
into chyme (liquefied food).
After
a brief time, the acid and digestive juices are neutralized as the chyme
moves into your intestines
An
army of microbes, called symbiotes, digest the chyme – producing the
nutrients that energize, repair and rebuild your body.
The
microbially processed nutrients pass through the intestinal wall into your
blood stream for transport to the cells.
The
nutrients move through the arterial wall to bathe cells – creating energy,
supporting the repair and replacement of damaged and worn cells, tissue
and structures.
Wastes
transferred to the blood stream and lymph system including:
metabolic wastes, parts of old cells, parts from virus, bacteria,
fungi and intestinal parasites, colon parasites and organ parasites that
are destroyed by the immune system
The
debris is filtered from the blood and lymph by the kidneys and liver and
returned to the digestive tract
Finally,
the debris is gleaned for any reusable nutrients such as water, minerals
and amino acids after which the remaining waste and toxins exit the body.
The consequences of imperfect digestion …is like
eating a plate of spoiled food - except, the organisms are intestinal parasites,
colon parasite and organ parasites feeding on, and damaging, your body
producing wastes of their own.
The byproducts from the rotting food are taking the
place of nutrients, moving into the blood stream, through the arterial wall
bathing the cells in toxins and debris that will overwhelm the body’s ability
to keep itself clean and cast out the poisons that can kill you.
2 questions you need to consider
1. If the sewer was backed up in your home …
how long would it take you to call a plumber?
2. If constipation will kill you …
what is it doing to you before you die?
Dr. Jensen believes …the accumulating mass, inside
your body, of feeding organisms and toxic debris, will make you sick and
diseased before it kills you.
“Pulling the plug” on a clogged system is therefore the best,
first step you can take in the journey to reclaim and protect your health.
