Colon cleansing is an alternative therapy, which aims to help the person on whom it is performed to get rid of fecal matter and other toxins accumulated in the colon. The colon is practically the very last part of the digestive tract, and in a way of speaking, the body’s ‘dumping ground’ for stuff that the body is not quite able to deal with. Most of the stuff dumped in the colon, of course finds its way out, through bowel movements. Unfortunately a little of it, which also tends to be the most toxic, the body is unable to eliminate through such bowel movements. So it starts to accumulate, little by little, and in the long run we end up with a lot of toxic stuff accumulated – which starts to exert negative effects on the body: stomach woes, lethargy (lack of energy), constipation, weight issues… and so on.
It is towards getting rid of those toxins, then, that colon cleansing is performed.
Now in order to get the best out of colon cleansing, there are a number of things you need to do.
1) The first key to getting the best out of colon cleansing is ensuring that you perform it regularly. Of course, colon cleansing is a major and potent procedure that you cannot be performing everyday. Yet if you keep your colon cleansing sessions too far apart, you run the risk of suffering the very effects of the toxins you look to get rid of, between your colon cleansing sessions. Colon cleansing should be viewed as being somehow like general car service. You surely can’t do it everyday, but if you stay for too long without doing it, you could find irreparable damage already having taken place. Different schools of thought in colon cleansing circles have different opinions on how often colon cleansing should be performed. The important thing is that colon cleansing has to be regular, and the period of time between the regular sessions has to be reasonable.
2) The second key to getting the best out of colon cleansing is to use an effective colon cleanser, always. If you opt to do ‘colon cleansing’ but use one of the unproven colon cleansing agents, you run the risk of not experiencing any positive effects out of it. Worse still, you could actually get negative effects out of it, and thus join the ranks of colon cleansing critics who argue that colon cleansing doesn’t work. Yet it is they who opt to use the wrong types of colon cleansing agents – and then expect the right colon cleansing results! If you don’t know what the best colon cleansers are, take your time to research before committing to any one of them.
3) The third key to getting the best out of colon cleansing is to follow the right procedure for it, especially if you are doing it yourself at home. Follow the instructions the makers of your colon cleanser give you to the letter. Many people opt to go about colon cleansing using various colon cleansers (and then opt to ‘over ride’ some of the instructions given for their use), especially the ‘harder’ instructions. Obviously, if you do this, you can’t expect the best results out of your colon cleansing. You may actually fail to get any results at all, or even end up with negative results out of your colon cleansing!
