Hidden Weight This might surprise you, but the average person who is neither overweight nor noticeably allergic to things is carrying around 7-25 pounds of dried fecal matter in the system. Overweight and allergic people may be harboring a lot more than that! The toxins from this accumulated waste matter are responsible for many body imbalances, and may create weight health problems. A Classic Sign One of the most common complaint that women have about their figures is a potbelly, a classic sign of colon toxicity and very simple to correct with an improved health regimen. A distended abdomen is sign of a more serious colon problem and is often a fecal ball, gathering more and more coatings the longer it goes unaddressed. Body System Imbalances Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon/digestive tract, as either a primary contributor or a secondary problem. These imbalances accentuate slowdowns in other critical body systems, like the endocrine (glandular) system and the circulatory system. Why Are You So Tired? A round robin domino effect is then set into motion. A toxic colon contributes to a toxic circulatory system, and soon the body is simply not able to metabolize food and fat properly and provide energy for vitality in living. Isn't it amazing to realize that colon toxicity from medicines, preservatives, water, and even the air you breathe residing in mucus derived from undigested and uneliminated food substances lining the walls of your intestine and your colon . . . could be responsible for your fatigue? Buildup of a Lifetime A 54 year old woman in Atlanta, Georgia recently discovered during a colonic (professional colon irrigation) that her body still had a residue of barium which she was only given once when she was 7 years old . . . 47 years earlier. Such coatings can block proper digestion, nutrient absorption and waste elimination, and these coatings provide an excellent breeding ground for germs and parasites. Some symptoms of parasites can include restless sleeping, fatigue, poor assimilation and absorption of nutrients, food cravings, especially sugars and breads, as well as an inability to feel satisfied after a large meal. What is normal? "Regularity" in bowel habits really means a bowel movement after every meal---something almost non-existent in our McDonald's™ generation. And for those who have frequent diarrhea, diarrhea is just as strong an indicator of colon toxicity as constipation. Do not ignore these warning signs of serious body imbalance. Give yourself a fresh new life of fitness and vitality today. Life and death truly do begin in proper colon health. You too can discover that there is life after dieting.
