Autointoxication occurs when the heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes a host for putrefaction (according to answers.com, putrefaction is the decomposition of organic matter, especially protein, by microorganisms, resulting in production of foul-smelling matter). The blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. International">All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances.

Many Naturopaths believe that most diseases are due to the lack of certain food principles, such as mineral salts or vitamins, or to the absence of the normal defenses of the body, such as the natural protective flora. When this occurs, toxic bacteria invade the lower alimentary canal, and the poisons thus generated pollute the bloodstream and gradually deteriorate and destroy every tissue, gland and organ of the body.

In fact, the lack of certain essential dietary elements is the cause of intestinal constipation. It's a well known fact that chronic constipation is directly linked to putrefaction.

So how do you deal with a colon full of toxins?

Colon cleansing is one of the most effective solutions to clean up your constipated colon of toxins and debris. You can resolve many health complaints simply by cleansing the colon and regaining normal lower bowel function. Colon cleansing reduces the formation of new toxemia from putrefying fecal matter (but dietary reform is necessary to maximize this benefit).

Most people think they are not constipated because they have a bowel movement almost every day, accomplished without straining. Moreover, many believe that by having a bowel movement once a week they are not constipated. Nothing could be further from the truth. In theory, we should have one bowel movement for every meal we ingest in a day. If you only have one bowel movement per day, in the long run, you'll have a clogged colon.

Colon Cleansing and Colonics are two very effective ways of preventing a stuffed up colon. A colon cleanse immediately alleviates current symptoms by almost instantly reducing the current toxic load. We should get into the habit of doing a yearly colon cleansing and a yearly juice or water fast.

Remember: A clean colon is a happy colon!
