Of all the vital organs in the body, the one that suffers the most abuse from modern dietary habits is the colon. Our colons were intended by nature to function as smoothly flowing sewer systems, in order to promptly flush digestive wastes from the body. Instead, they have become stagnant cesspools, the physiological equivalent to a festering pile of uncollected garbage or a broken toilet that continues to be used for defecation. The average American male colon today's carries within it about 5 pounds of putrid, half digested red meat, plus another 5-10 pounds of foul toxic waste impacted for years in the folds of the colon with mucus.
Why does toxic waste from bad food taken in wrong combinations accumulate in the colon? V.E. Irons explains this in his newsletter as follows: "When food that is not wholesome or is harmful to the body reaches the stomach, word is immediately sent from the stomach to the mucus manufacturer, warning, 'Get busy, the enemy is on the way!' We know that mucus starts to be produced immediately and the colon is lined with it. 12-18 hours later, when the poisoned or harmful food from the stomach finally enters the colon, the latter is well prepared with a layer of mucus lining it, so that the body does not absorb any of the poison.
Were this to happen once or even several times a month, this mucus having been used, would disintegrate and slowly be discharged from the colon with no harm done. But it is now certainly apparent that nature never intended that protective mechanism to be used as continuously as it is today… the result is that layer on top of layer is secreted until its accumulation thickens to 3/8" to ¼" inch thick. Sometimes this layer or layers gets to 3/8" to ½" inch in thickness, becoming as hard and black as a piece of old hardened rubber you see on a highway, torn from a truck tire…. We have had a few specimens preserved in alcohol from several inches to a few feet in length, while the longest we have had was 27 feet, in one piece. Sometimes it will come out as a pile weighing as much as 11 pounds and continuing to come out for several days to a week…
Regardless of your financial standing, regardless of your past health history, regardless of your age or sex, YOU (meaning the reader and 95% of the USA) do have this hardened mucus in your colon, and you will be amazed by what comes out of you. Even the US Health Service, in a rare display of candor, admitted several years ago that 'over 90%' of Americans are walking around with clogged colons. Irons cites the experience of one of the most famous and highly respected surgeons in American history, Dr. Harvey Kellogg of Battle Creek, Michigan, who wrote "Of the 22,000 operations I have personally performed, I have never found a single normal colon." And that was back at the turn of the century, long before American eating habits had become completely corrupted by processed, denatured foods as today.
As Irons puts it, "About the only place you see a normal healthy colon today is in an anatomy book!"
