Blockage is the Root of All Disease

Excerpts from the American Botanical Pharmacy, March 2012

Accumulated waste can kill you! The human body is a metabolic engine.  Every system, every organ, in fact, every cell of the human body, takes in fuel to run and eliminates waste material. The majority of this waste is deposited into your colon. If this waste isn't eliminated regularly from your colon, it will cause your body to back up with poisonous toxins. When this backed-up poison reaches critical levels, it can cause just about every disease known.

If the old natural healers and now the medical doctors are right, and our colon is swollen with pounds of old, retained fecal matter, then something else has to be crushed, because there is no extra space.  The entire colon is so big that it is connected to, touches, or is in the vicinity of every major organ in the human body, except the brain.  Everything has its place and there is no extra room.

Constipation causes the colon to swell.  When this happens, it can compress the lungs, heart, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, adrenals, uterus or prostate.  A constipated colon can cause an almost endless amount of seemingly unrelated diseases and problems.

Look at all the disease that can be caused by constipation:  heart problems, female problems, back pain, depression, anxiety and emotional problems, kidney disease, breathing and lung problems, infertility, prostate problems, sciatica, arthritis, basically EVERYTHING!

Because of most Americans' high levels of constipation and our unwillingness to talk about it, we have now been awarded with the highest incidence of colon cancer and disease of any country in the world.  The Merck Manual, the medical industry's standard text for the diagnosis and treatment of disease, tells us that colon degeneration is on the rise.  The incidence of diverticulosis (sacular herniations inside the large intestine) has increased dramatically over the past 40 years.  It states that in 1950, only 10% of adults over the age of 45 had this disease, in 1955 it was 15%, in 1972 it was 30% and in 1987 almost 50%.  The latest edition states that the incidence of diverticulosis increases rapidly over age 40 and that EVERY person, 100%, will have diverticulosis if they live long enough!.  Every American adult will have herniation of the large intestine. 

What Causes 100% of Americans to End Up With Colon Disease?

It is simply the average American's bad food program, lack of exercise and high-stress lifestyle.  Just imagine all of that dead decaying meat, junk food and drugs going into your mouth, all of it passing through your digestive tract into your bloodstream, your brain, your heart and then (hopefully) out through your liver, bowel and kidneys.

Your average high school health books and medical texts all say that the normal frequency for a bowel movement is three to five times per week.  However, studies have shown the bowel movements of primitive people, who eat very natural diets of high fiber, unprocessed foods, plus get plenty of exercise and have little or no stress, they have multiple bowel movements each day.  At least one for every major meal they eat!

So, obviously, it is our fiberless American junk food feast that causes the average American to be 70,000 bowel movements short in their lifetime!  It's high time that we started talking about the "real cause", how to heal it and more importantly, how to prevent it.  For more information on colon cleansing and how you can begin your journey toward more optimum health, contact us at www.LaVidaSanaWellness.com.
