Plumbing your Colon with Water

        Fasting, colon and bowel cleansing (part 3)

        Alternative Health Care- You want to feel better! Don't you?

        "If you stand long and still enough near rivers, lakes and ponds where herons and similar long-beaked birds fish and feed, you will notice a curious habit. From time to time, a heron will suck up a beak full of water, twist its neck around and insert the beak into its own anus, squirting the water deep into its bowels to flush out the putrid debris and other residue from its fish-based diet.

        Who taught these birds to do that? Nature did. And a Taoist respects no teacher more than nature.

        The very sound of the word 'colon' prompts embarrassment these days.

        Suggest that someone run 5 gallons of warm water through it, and embarrassment turns to suspicion or sheer panic.

        American doctors are reluctant even to discuss the matter, and they flatly refuse to administer colonic irrigation's to patients on request. They believe, as one New York physician put it, colonics 'went out with the horse-and-buggy' a century ago.

        American doctors also reject nutritional therapy, herbal remedies, fasting, therapeutic breathing, meditation and other 'outdated' methods that they no longer understand.

        In Russia, however, it remains standard procedure in all hospitals and clinics to administer a thorough colonic cleansing to all patients, regardless of their ailments, immediately upon entering any hospital. Russian physicians realize that no cure for any ailment can be properly administered to a filthy, highly toxic body, which simply cannot assimilate and utilize medications.

        Nor does a body devitalized by chronic toxemia have sufficient strength and energy to fully recover from such radical procedures as anesthesia, surgery and chemical therapy.

        As a case in point for colonics, take pneumonia. At the turn of the century, before cancer and heart disease replaced it, pneumonia was the biggest killer in America. Back then, Dr. J.H. Tilden of Denver, Colorado, who specialized in pneumonia and treated more patients for this disease than any other physician on record, never lost a single patient to this dreaded ailment. He achieved his remarkable record by relying entirely on fasting and colonic irrigation's, followed by strict diets of raw natural foods. Today, pneumonia still takes a heavy toll among the elderly and weak, despite all the modern drugs used to treat it.

        In 1935, at the age of 40, V.E. Irons suffered from a rare and extremely painful form of arthritis now known as 'ankylosing spondylosis'. This condition is caused by unassimilated calcium (such as that from pasteurized milk) being deposited on the spinal vertebrae, where it gradually builds spurs that cause the entire spine to stoop forward, until, after 10-20 years, the victim is bent over double for life. Having been told that there is no cure, Irons went off to research his conditions on his own, and, like anyone else who looks hard and long enough for the real source of chronic degenerative disease, he found it lurking in his own clogged colon. As he recalls:

        Within two months I had no more pain from displacement and with 14 months practically no spurs. All done with cleansing, fasting and natural food- no drugs!

        Colema's must not be confused with enemas. At best, enemas flush out the rectum and a small part of the descending colon, but they do not reach the transverse and ascending portions. Enemas can also be a real mess to handle. Colema colonics, on the other hand, send water coursing all the way through the entire length of the colon in a continuous flow. Instead of only a few quarts, a thorough colema irrigation passes about 5 gallons of water through the colon during a single session.

        If you are unwilling to administer your own colema's at home, and since your doctor will not or cannot administer them for you, you will have to find a colonic clinic. Clinics generally administer pump-powered colonics, which require careful supervision from a trained therapist. They cost about $35 per session, which comes to $350 for the minimum ten irrigation's you will need to effect a thorough cleansing of the colon.

        There is, however, a much better, easier, cheaper, more convenient and private way, thanks to the 'Colema Board' [this patented product on sale at this web site from June 97'. Check our HPS health superStore for latest prices.]

        A Colema Board costs about $155 for the simplest models and up to $450 for the long-life deluxe models.

        "It may be used for life by the whole family in the convenience and comfort of your own home. It works entirely by gravity, not pumps, and is completely safe to use alone. It comes with detailed instructions and is so simple to use that children can do it by themselves. Best of all, the board is always there, ready to be used whenever the need arises. In 1981, V.E. Irons enthusiastically endorsed the Colema Board system:

        My seven-year-old son Robert frequently takes home colema's- all by himself. I'm 87 and I take them all the time. So, if you're anywhere between the ages of 7 and 87, you should have no problems...It is completely safe.

        So, if you wish to rid yourself of 5-15 pounds of hard, rubbery, toxic waste impacted in your colon owing to a lifetime of wrong eating habits, and simultaneously eliminate the source of most of your chronic ailments, discomfort and fatigue, while also preserving youthful vitality and prolonging your life, order a Colema Board and read on!

        The Seven-Day Fast and Colon-Cleansing Program

        The seven day fast and colon cleansing program is an integrated systems of self-purification that combines the benefits of fasting, fibrous intestinal cleansers, nutritional supplements and daily colon irrigation's.

        It is a complete program of blood and tissue detoxification that rejuvenates each and every organ, gland, tissue and cell in the body.

        Why seven days? Seven is a sort of 'magic number' throughout the realm of nature. Women's menstrual cycles occur in four units of seven, as do the moon's orbits around the earth. It takes exactly seven days to cleanse the entire bloodstream by fasting, and it requires seven days to thoroughly rid the lymph of toxins. On a larger scale, it takes seven months to balance the endocrine system through proper nutrition and exercise and seven years to replace every cell in the body.

        This particular purification program was developed by V.E. Irons, who explains it as follows:

        For seven days, you eat nothing at all, but you won't feel hungry because you take a product call Intestinal Cleanser. This is a powder that's ground from a special grade of psyllium seed. The cleanser clings to the colon walls, holds moisture there, and softens and loosens the waste matter.

        The intestinal Cleanser should be taken five times a day, every three hours. You put a heaping teaspoon of Cleanser in a jar with a good tight cover. Add ten ounces of water, with a little bit of your favorite fruit or vegetable juice for flavor. You also add a tablespoon or two of another of our products called Bentonite, which is made from volcanic ash. Bentonite is like a magnetic sponge that removes toxins from your entire digestive tract. Shake the mixture well and drink it. Then follow it with a glass of water.

        A seven-day fast sounds severe, but it's really not too bad because the Intestinal Cleanser swells up in your system, so that you feel full. Also you take tablets of a supplement called Greenlife, which is a concentrate of the juices of wheat, rye, oat, and barley grasses...

        If you're reluctant to plunge into a seven day fast, you can take the Intestinal Cleanser and Bentonite twice a day, morning and evening, for a month, while continuing to eat other foods. Many people see so much improvement from this simple program, that they become willing to go on a seven-day fast.

        During the 7-day fast with nutritional supplements and intestinal cleansers, you administer two 5-gallon colonics per day on the colema Board,  which works entirely by gravity, not pumps. To the 5 gallons of warm (100-105°F) water you add some strong boiled coffee, which stimulates the bowels' natural peristaltic contractions and contains acids that help throw out mucus and cleanse the colon wall. If you are overly sensitive to caffeine, you may substitute fresh garlic juice, fresh lemon juice, Bentonite or Epsom salts.

        Greenlife®, which is produced and marketed by V.E. Irons Inc., under the 'Vitratox' label, is one of the best food supplements money can buy. It is the dried extract of juices squeezed from the tender young shoots of cereal grasses grown in organically fertilized soil without pesticides. The juice is dried in vacuum within seconds of extraction to retain maximum potency of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and the all-important enzymes. This product, though extracted entirely from grasses, contains 25-35 percent pure unadulterated protein- much more than meat or eggs! To provide the complete complement of trace elements as well, seaweed powder is drilled directly into soil and compost heaps, and a 5 percent proportion of seaweed is also added to the Greenlife powder itself before tableting. Greenlife provides everything your body needs in precisely the correct balance, yet it is so pure and alive with active enzymes that the nutrients are quickly assimilated through the stomach and small intestines without requiring digestive effort by the body. These nutrients provide a steady stream of potent building blocks to replace dead and damaged cells and repair injured tissues during your fast. 

        The Intestinal Cleanser and the Bentonite are remarkably effective cleansing agents. Powdered psyllium seed husk is almost 100 percent pure fibrous bulk. It is not absorbed or digested but instead expands in the gut and dredges your bowels of debris as it passes through. When it reaches the colon, the warm water from the colonics helps it loosen impacted toxic wastes from the colon wall and propel it out through the rectum.

        Bentonite, which is derived from volcanic ash, contains an ingredient called montmorillonite, a molecule of which is 1/500th the size of a water molecule and carries a negative charge that is 200 times greater than its positive charge. It's minuscule size enables it to reach into nooks and crannies of your tissues that even water cannot penetrate, while its strong negative charge enables it to pick up 200 times its own weight in toxic positive ions. As we have seen, pollutants always take the form of big, bulky positive ions, and these are readily neutralized by active negative ions. Bentonite works in the bowels along with the psyllium seed powered, but it also enters the bloodstream to neutralize and facilitate rapid elimination of the toxic wastes that enter the blood from the cells.

        Some advocates of fasting, such as Paul Bragg, do not recommend colonics or any supplements whatsoever during cleansing fasts. Instead, they advise nothing but distilled water. However, four or five water fasts without colema colonics or intestinal cleansers are required to remove the same amount of toxic waste from the colon as one fast supplemented with intestinal cleansers and colema's. Paul Bragg's program calls for four 7-10 day fasts per year, plus one 24-36 hour fast per week throughout the year. In addition, Bragg follows a very strict diet or mostly raw foods between fasts.

        An alternative is to do your first few fasts with colema's in order to effect a thorough cleansing of the bowels, after which you may experiment with straight water-fasts. A good program would be to take one 7-day fast each year with colema's and supplements, plus two or three 3-day fasts during the rest of the year drinking distilled water. Fasting once a week for 24-36 hours with nothing but distilled water is also an excellent year-round maintenance program between major fasts.

        For those of you who have never attempted a fast but wish to benefit from the marvelous health it brings, here are a few helpful hints to keep in mind when you get started. Remember, fasting is a personal, private matter that only you can do for yourself. It's also the only way effectively to purge your entire body of accumulated toxins and purify your bloodstream.

        • The first day is simple. It takes at least 24 hours for the body to commence detoxification and start pouring toxins into the bloodstream for elimination.
        • The second and third days are the most difficult. By then you bloodstream will be carrying up to ten times its normal load of toxins, as the entire body excretes accumulated poisons into the blood for disposal. You will feel weak, fatigued, stiff, light-headed and perhaps nauseous, much like a heavy hangover. This is not due to nutritional deficiency, so do not make the most common mistake of first-time faster, which is to break the fast prematurely by eating something to 'pick you up'. The moment you eat something, the unpleasant symptoms of detoxification disappear- not because of the nutrients in the food but because the food signals the body to halt the detoxification process and gear up for digestion and metabolism instead. The worse you feel during the first three days, the more toxic are your tissues, and the better the program is working. Hang in there and you will soon feel better than ever!
        • During the first fast with colema's, the first two or three days often fail to product the dramatic evacuations of foul toxic wastes expected. That's not because your colon is clean, but because the dried mucus and toxins are so deeply impacted in the folds of your colon that it takes six to eight colonics just to start jarring them loose. One of Irons most severs cases failed to evacuate anything of significance through four full 7-day programs, but then on her fifth fast an avalanche of black hard poisons came pouring out with every colema. Generally, you will start passing these toxified encrustation's of mucus on the fourth or fifth day and continue to do so till the end of the fast. This deathly junk is collected in a collander under the board, and you should carefully inspect it after each colonic. By seeing what comes out of you each time, you will be strongly motivated to continue through to the end of the program.
        • If by the seventh day you are still expelling a lot of waste, you may choose to continue the program for up to 10 days, or else stop and wait till your next fast. Do not attempt to fast more than 10 days by yourself until you have done at least half a dozen 7-10 day fasts. The less toxic your system becomes, the easier it is to maintain fasts.
        • Don't expect to get everything out during the first fast. It takes about six 7-day programs, with mini-fasts in between and careful attention to diet, to effect a thorough cleansing of the colon and completely detoxify the tissues. Paul Bragg recounts how, after five years of four annual 7-day fasts, he went on a 10-day fast, on the seventh day of which "I had a terrific bowel evacuation, and at the end of this evacuation, I felt a heavy cool sensation in my rectum and out passed a third of a cup of quicksilver [mercury] from the Calomel [a medication] that I had taken during my childhood". When it comes to purifying your body from a lifetime of self-pollution, "once is not enough!"
        • If you are afraid to administer your own colonics with the Colema Board, then look for a qualified colonic therapist and have him perform the first series for you in a clinic. After that you will realize how easy and safe it is and you can do the next series at home.
        • The program is safe and effective for children, pregnant women, and the elderly. For children aged 4-10, cut the dosage of supplements and intestinal cleansers by half. Pregnant women should take enough extra nutritional supplements 'for two', but should not embark on the program during the final three months of pregnancy.
        • Consume no solid food whatsoever during the program. Except for an ounce or two to make your intestinal cleanser mixture more palatable, avoid all fruit and vegetable juices as well. Besides cleansing your colon, you will want to give all your digestive organs and al your vital glands a complete 7-day rest so that their tissues may be detoxified and their damaged cells replaced. If you 'cheat', you'll only be cheating yourself.
        • Excessively obese and/or chronically ill persons should not attempt a 7-day fast the first time. Such persons are so permeated with toxins that a 7-day fast would raise the toxin levels in the blood to dangerous or even fatal levels. If you feel that your body is extremely polluted with poisons, start out with several 3-day fasts spread over a period of 3-4 months, with a diet of mostly raw vegetarian foods in between. This program will detoxify your tissues sufficiently for you to tolerate a complete 7-day fast. Everyone should always use the internal intestinal cleansers and administer colema's during their fasts to facilitate rapid excretion of poisons. Colema's flush the toxic debris immediately out of your system. This is an intergral part of the program. Without it, we suggest you avoid doing more than a three day therapeutic fast.
        • Break any cleansing fast with a light meal of raw vegetables, especially carrots, cabbage and lettuce, followed a few hours later with either some fresh mild fruit (apple, grape, pear, etc., but no dried fruits) OR a couple of lightly steamed vegetables, such as squash, tomato, string beans. You may also have a few slices of well-toasted whole-grain bread with a little bit of nut butter but no dairy butter. Thoroughly toasting bread coverts much of the hard-to-digest starch into readily digestible sugars.

          Make the second day a vegetarian day as well, then on the third day you may commence eating one meal a day with meat, chicken, fish or cheese for protein. After your fasting programs, try to make fresh raw foods comprise at least 50 percent of your overall diet and be aware of food combinations whenever you are eating. Plain yogurt is an excellent way to restore friendly intestinal fauna to your colon after fasting. Last but not least, continue to take the psyllium seed powder once or twice a day for about a week after the fasting to restore rhythmic regularity to your bowel movements".

        Mini-Fasts and Semi Fasts

        The program outlined above is actually a 'semi-fast' because it included herbal nutritional supplements and intestinal cleansers.

        Other popular semi-fasts include raw vegetables and fruit juice fasts, such as the famous 'grape cure'. Vegetable and fruit juice fasts are an excellent way to purify the body and eliminate toxic conditions before they become pathological. Select only one variety of raw vegetable or fruit juice, and stick to it throughout the program, which may last anywhere from 3 to 10 days, depending on your condition and your determination. Select something that has a natural affinity for the organs and glands that need the most therapy.

        For some excellent guidance on the therapeutic uses of raw vegetables and fruit juices, for specific illnesses.

        Dark grapes, for example, are the best choice for people with gastro-intestinal and liver ailments. In Russia, there is a sanitarium in Yalta that specializes exclusively in the grape fast. Patients begin by eating 1 pound of fresh raw grapes and work up to 10 pounds per day. Besides detoxifying the entire body and curing gesture-intestinal ailments, the grape cure greatly enhances metabolism and strengthens the heart muscles. Some patients in America have credited the grape with curing otherwise 'incurable' cancers.

        Life Plus offers an excellent product based on grapes seeds and pine bark called Proanthenols Bio-Complex.

        Most people who try a fruit or vegetable juice semi-fast feel marvelous the first two days, then start 'crashing' by the third or fourth.

        That's because it takes two or three days for detoxification to commence but, once it does, the bloodstream becomes heavily loaded with poisons excreted from the cells for disposal through the kidneys. When this happens, just grin and bear it for a few more days, and you will soon feel better than ever before. In order for any fast to work, you must go through this two-or-three-day period of cathartic discomfort; otherwise, you'll carry these poisons with you right into an early grave.

        Mini fasts are short fasts lasting from 24 hours to 3 days. Going on a once-a-week mini-fast of 24 -36 hours is an ancient Oriental health practice that is still quite popular among enlightened circles of the East.

        It used to be known in the West as well. The Greek biographer Plutarch wrote, 'Instead of medicine, fast for a day'. Paul Bragg highly recommends this once-a-week regimen as a 'maintenance program' between annual 7-day fasts. This habit gives the body a chance to 'catch up' with all the various things you put into your alimentary canal during the week. It's not an easy habit to start, but once it's established it makes you feel so much healthier and energetic during the rest of the week that it's hard to break.

        It is entirely up to you and your health conditions whether or not to administer colema's during semi-fasts and weekly or monthly mini-fasts. If you are ailing from anything, colema's will flush out the toxic culprits responsible for your ailments. Otherwise, use your own judgment. But remember: colema colonics greatly enhance the overall cleansing effects of any fast, especially in the colon, so if you do not want to devote a lot of time each year to fasting, then it's best to fast in conjunction with colema's."
