One of the most important steps we can take to immediately improve our overall health is to learn about detoxifying our bodies. At the root of so many of our diseases and health challenges is a DIRTY COLON!
It has been my experience, along with many other natural healthcare  
specialists, that cleaning out the colon can make a major difference in all our body systems. So, before we cover any specific diseases, let's learn how important the colon is and how we can keep this extremely important organ clean and functioning well.
I like to use this analogy: Would you even consider driving your car for years without changing the oil and filter, knowing that this dirty oil and clogged filter will reduce the life expectancy and performance of your car engine?
Of course not! We know this is a very important procedure, therefore we do this on a regular basis.

Doing a colon and liver cleanse is very much the same thing. When we clean out the colon, it helps our blood and liver to detoxify so that toxins caused by our food and environment(i.e. pollution, drugs, chemicals)can be cleaned out of our body. This allows the absorption rate from our food and nutrients(i.e. vitamins, minerals) to improve greatly. A blocked colon leaks its buildup of toxic fecal  
matter into the blood. The blood is our major means of transporting food, water, and oxygen to the body systems. When the blood becomes dirty, it delivers toxins to every part of the body, even the brain.
Dr. Bernard Jensen, a world renowned expert in the study of the intestines and the importance of regular elimination, states, "I have come to the conclusion, that a real cleansing process should be one that reaches every cell in the body. In general, the blood is only as clean as the bowel and since the blood circulates through every organ in the body, toxins in the blood contaminate the entire body. To properly cleanse the body tissue, we must start by a thorough cleansing of the bowel."
