Weight loss

One of the simplest ways to lose weight is to cleanse the colon. The colon, according to world famous Dr. Bernard Jensen, carries 4 to 12 pounds of old fecal matter alone. It is not unusual for a person to be carrying 10 to 20 pounds, and the most on record is 65 pounds! So you can see that merely cleansing the colon can help one to immediately loose considerable body weight.

Cleansing the colon also allows the food in the entire alimentary canal to pass through at a much faster rate preventing over absorption of nutrients. Also, by not being backed up from the colon, the entire alimentary canal tends to not be so engorged with food waiting to pass through. In time abdominal stretching will reverse as the bloated condition ends.

Colon Hydrotherapy addresses two of the most important causes of weight gain: a sluggish liver and stagnant lymph flow. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body, weighing between three and four pounds, and it is the major fat-burning organ. When we eat the wrong foods, the liver will actually produce more fat and store the excess. When you diet, you release toxins into the colon that are reabsorbed by the liver. This is one of the factors that makes you crave the foods that you are trying to stay away from. When we cleanse the liver directly through colon therapy, liver metabolism improves and we start burning fat more fully. As liver function improves, so does energy. More energy results in a domino effect: we naturally feel like moving and exercising more which leads to improved muscle tone and more metabolically active muscles, which in turn burn fat on a continual basis.

The second factor of weight gain is lymphatic stagnation. Stagnation is also easily addressed by colonics. The lymphatic system is a network of delicate vessels spread throughout the body which transport a clear milky fluid that carries cellular waste to the colon and kidneys for elimination. This system is literally the body’s sewer system and needs to be kept clear and flowing. It has a tendency to stagnate when its consistency becomes thick with cellular debris, toxins, bacteria/ viruses and dietary fats. This thickened lymph easily stagnates and can contribute not only to fatigue and malaise, but also to weight gain, especially around the abdomen, hips and buttocks. The stagnation may also cause water retention with cellulite”.

The lymph’s main job is to remove the waste created during biological processes. After the waste is processed by the kidneys, it empties into the small intestines, passes into the large intestine, and out of the body with the feces. When the intestinal walls are impacted, the lymph system retains and continuously recirculates the cellular waste. The prolific number of lymph nodes in the abdominal region are also forced to become storage points for the waste. The clear fluid becomes cloudy and thick, gradually changing in consistency from watery to milky to a curd-like consistency. In addition to being cosmetically unappealing and encouraging weight gain, lymph becomes a health threat. This toxic waste is the ideal environment for the onset of numerous illnesses, including cancer. Colonics help keep the intestinal walls clear of impactions, which allow the lymph vessels to function normally.

As the toxins are eliminated from the body, the fat containing them is no longer needed, and also leaves. Weight loss of 30, 50 and even 80 pounds over a period of months are often reported. One side effect is that the skin becomes smooth, soft and free of blemishes. Symptoms of a whole host of diseases will seem to disappear as the toxins leave the system.

In the last analysis, no weight loss program would be complete without some kind of body cleansing and detoxification. Colon cleansing, along with diet and exercise, is an excellent tool to achieve and maintain your ideal weight. As you move waste out of your body more quickly, and often more efficiently with colonics, you feel better, shed excess pounds, clean up lymph, and lose lumpy cellulite. This in itself will increase the motivation to stick to your weight loss program.
