Of all the vital organs in the body, the one
that suffers the most abuse from modern dietary habits is the large intestine,
otherwise known as the colon
Our colon was intended by nature to function as a smoothly flowing sewer
systems, in order to promptly flush digestive wastes from the body.
The large intestine is one of the four main elimination systems of the body. In
Chinese medicine all the internal organs are paired. The large intestine is
paired with the lungs.
Your colon (large intestine) is made up of four main sections: (1) ascending,
(2) transverse, (3) descending colon & the (4) sigmoid. It's total
length is approximately 5 to 5 ½ feet and it ends at the anus where feces
eliminated from the body.
The small intestine length is approx. 26 ft. long.
They are called large and small not because of their length but because of their
width & diameter.

The large intestines
total length is approximately 5 to 5 ½ feet and it ends at the

Colon therapy (or Colonics) are important. A properly functioning colon is
necessary for the transport of nutrients. The inner lining of the colon is
equipped with sensitive
nerves and glands. These glands aid in the final stages of digestion and the
assimilation of food (especially minerals and water), and in eliminating body
wastes from the system.
When the walls of the colon are packed (or lined) with accumulated feces, the
colon cannot absorb nutrients or eliminate wastes properly.
Foods remain undigested.
When the food cannot be processed efficiently in the colon, unfriendly bacteria
begins
to grow. Fermentation and putrefacation of undigested food results, and
toxins
(poisons) are formed. There are some 36 poisons that pollute the body.
They include
indole, skatole, phenol, creosole, putrescine, cadaverine, sepsin and others. In
cases of
alimentary toxemia, one or several of these poisons are constantly bombarding
the
delicate body cells. This can cause disease, one of which is the dreaded colon
cancer. |
