Death begins in the Colon. - Elie Metchnikoff (Russian Nobel Prize Winning Biologist)
It is common after years of poor eating to build up mucoid plaque on the walls of our intestines. Mucoid plaque is a layer (or layers) of adhesive, hardened mucus lining the inner walls of the digestive tract. It is usually compacted with old faecal matter, bound up toxic waste, "bad" bacteria, and/or other unwanted quests. This plaque greatly lowers our ability to absorb nutrition and also makes our bodies much more toxic.
The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level. One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds. - Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D. (Cleansing Through Bowel Management)
The 8-Day Colon Cleansing Program will remove this built up waste and associated toxicity. Herbal formulas will also be given to absorb toxins and heavy metals from the intestinal tract, as well as help tone, cleanse and purify the entire intestinal system.
There are some doctors who say there is no buildup in the intestines and colon cleansing is a complete hoax. Dr. Richard Anderson (ND, NMD), a leader in colon cleansing and with tremendous personal experience on the subject, responds to such statements in his book Cleanse and Purify Thyself: Book Two, (Mt. Shasta, CA: Christobe Publishing, 1998).
Surgeons and regular doctors are not trained in the subject of mucoid plaque and therefore remain unaware of this important bowel condition. The mucoid plaque is usually less than one-fourth of an inch in many areas of the bowel (except in heavy meat and dairy eaters). It usually develops from a semi-transparent liquid solution (mucin) and may look like it is part of the intestinal wall itself as it takes on the exact shapes, striations, and bulges of the intestinal wall. Until the mucoid plaque begins to mix with fecal matter, its color and texture may appear similar to healthy bowel mucosa. Unless one knows what they are looking for, it may be difficult to identify, especially by sight. Therefore, to doctors using endoscopy and to surgeons, it is unnoticeable unless they are familiar with the many different appearances mucoid plaque may have. - Dr. Richard Anderson ND, NMD
