An introduction to colon cleansing
Colon cleansing in when you use a colon hydrotherapy treatment or oral cleansing regimens to remove faecal waste from the colon and intestinal tract. During colon hydrotherapy, an enema bag is normally used to inject water into the colon, sometimes mixed with herbs or other products believed to be beneficial. Oral colon cleanser treatments usually contain fibre, herbs and laxatives. What procedure that makes the best colon cleanser in different situations is fiercly being discussed with in the community where the procedure is popular.
The equipment used for colon hydrotherapy can spread disease, e.g. amoebiasis, it he equipment wasn’t steralized properly and it is therefore important to only visit reputable businesses if you want a colon cleansing at a spa or resort. Some facilities use only single use equipment to minimize disease transmission risks. A good way to find reputable colon cleansing establishments is to read colon cleanse reviews online, I strongly recommend checking more than one source to get a good level image of the product. Also keep in mind that the equipment can cause damage to the rectum if used improperly, and there is a risk of electrolyte imbalances associated with heavy colon cleansings. In the United States, the U.S. the FDA, food and drug administration regulates the equipment and how it is made but do not regulate the use or spas offering colon treatments.
A long time ago the ancient Egyptians believed in something called the Auto-intoxication principle or hyptothesis which stipulates that putrified feaces left in the line of the walls of the intestines could cause a number of illnesses. The idea was widely dispelled during the 20th century medicine but is still regarded true by many practitioners of alternative medicine.
One of the foremost promoters of the auto-intoxication hypothesis was 19th century Russian microbiologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov,whi recieved the 1908 nobel price for his work on phagocytosis and that is most well know for his work relating to the immune system. Mechnikov argued that aging is caused by toxic bacteria in the gut and that lactic acid can be used to counteract this. He drank sour milk every day and published the book “The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies“. His work inspired Japanese scientist Minoru Shirota to start investigating if there might be a relationship between bacteria and good intestinal health. In time Shirota came up with Yakult which is a togurt like Probiotic bevarage that contains Lactobacillus casei of the type shirota.
