Liquids, Powders & Pills Benefits & Dangers
Most pills, powders or other detox products including liquids contain bulking fiber, herbal laxatives, organ stimulants, and sometimes dangerous bentonite clays. Bulking fiber such as psyllium may actually stress the colon and add more impacted bulk along the colon walls. Herbal laxatives may irritate the nerves and forever damage the nerve endings promoting constipation. Stimulants force a contraction or spasm of an organ. Some “over stimulate” the liver to work harder or faster than it would normally, thus fatiguing the organ and endangering its health. Some products are designed for cleansing the protective mucosal lining of the small intestine which may be beneficial it can also lead to immune system weakness, intestinal irritation or even damage, and leaky gut which is when the partially digested food penetrates the intestinal wall tissue instead of being absorbed properly through the intestinal villi. This condition can also lead to bacteria, virus and parisitic infestation of the blood.
These same products taken under the correct circumstances and at the proper dosages may be very beneficial for the detoxing and cleansing process. However, the colon should always be clean and working properly before using them. Our Colon Therapists will be happy to discuss this further with you. Also, we offer complimentary consultations with myself, Katie Murphy, for all our clients.
Having Colonics on a regular basis while using these supplemental programs, will support the process to go easier and gentler on the body with fewer “healing reactions”. A healing reaction, healing crises, or cleansing reaction is basically any symptom or discomfort the body feels while it is changing it’s cellular chemistry and trying to release old toxins from the body. These symptoms range from indigestion, bloating, and cramping to headaches, sinus drainage, aching muscles and joints, and skin breakouts. These same experiences are related to all detoxing experiences including those of alcohol and drug withdrawals. Chemistry changes happen when people change their diets too.
When the body feels symptoms or discomfort due to this chemistry change or the releasing process of toxins and drugs, this unpleasant experience can be less severe and be shorter lived with the help of Colonics. I would love to be able to gift every rehab center in the world with Colonic equipment and trained professionals. There would be so much less suffering.
