Certainly, the slow passage of waste products through the colon may increase the resorption of some potentially toxic substances. One of the most effective and safe ways of ensuring the efficient and complete expulsion of such waste from the body is to eat a high-fibre diet. Wheat bran is especially effective in helping clear the contents of the gut and is consequently often referred to as 'nature's broom' BBC Health "Corrects Constipation" “One of my more significant cases was Tommy, an eight-year-old boy with the most awful constipation anyone could imagine,” says former general surgeon and emergency medicine specialist Paul Flashner, MD, of Wellesley, Massachusetts. Observing their superior results for his patients, Dr. Flashner has recently adapted his treatment techniques almost completely to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). He has most definitely incorporated colon hydrotherapy as a regular CAM technique. Medical Journal Report "Death Begins in the Colon" These toxins and “dead” foods lead to poor digestion, constipation, toxic colon build-up, weight gain and low energy. These common symptoms are more than just an inconvenience – they can lead to long-term health problems and serious disease. “Of all the polite topics of conversation, the state of one's intestines is probably at the bottom of most people's lists. Let's face it: Irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, gas, diverticulitis and colon cancer are simply not things we like to discuss. And yet, as the old expression goes, death begins in the colon. Don't believe it? Ask any coroner. Autopsies often reveal colons that are plugged up to 80 percent with waste material.” Vegetarian Times Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or rectal cancer, is cancer of the large intestine or bowel. Most cases start from polyps on the lining of the intestine. Polyps are small, mushroom- shaped growths, which most of the time are harmless. However, certain kinds, called adenomatous polyps, have the potential to become cancerous. Colon cancer is among the most common types of cancer, with more than 104,000 new diagnoses each year. An additional 40,000 people are diagnosed annually with cancer of the rectum. Genetics plays a role: Up to 1 in 4 people with colon cancer have family members who have had the disease. Lifestyle is also a factor: People who aren't physically active and who eat a high-fat or low-fiber diet are at increased risk. John Hopkins Medical Journal "Growing Popularity" Colon hydrotherapy dates back to biblical times. No one is certain how many people employ this practice today -- either via home treatments or via outside clinics -- but many in the field say the numbers are increasing, along with overall interest in alternative health practices. Even among colon hydrotherapists there are different opinions on what benefits can be derived from the procedure. Some say that simply flushing out old fecal matter promotes energy and wellness. Others are more specific. "We use colon hydrotherapy to tonify the bowel to help produce a better elimination practice for the body," says Mark Groven, a naturopathic physician and medical supervisor at the Bastyr University natural health clinic in Seattle, Wash.
