The Truth About Parasites

In life, we tend to pay a very high price for lack of knowledge. It can even cost us our most precious commodity, our health. We live in a highly toxic world, where what we eat and drink plays a more critical role in our health than ever before.

Our water is undrinkable, our food is rarely as healthy as we need and our air is polluted. Not only is our food poisoned with thousands of chemicals but also virtually devoid of any nutrients. We try to compensate for this lack by eating much larger quantities than would otherwise be necessary.

To make things worse, most of us don’t engage in regular physical activity and our stress load weighs us down like a ton of bricks.

Almost 1.5 billion Pounds of Pesticides are sprayed on wheat and vegetable crops in the U.S. each year. That’s more than five rounds for every person! According to experts. Only 2% of this actually serves to protect the crops while the air, water and the food itself absorbs the other 98%. (Over 110 different kinds of chemicals are used on apples alone.) In most cities the water contains over 700 chemicals while 10.000 different chemicals are used in food processing and preservation.

The average American is exposed to 50.000 chemical agents in his lifetime and only a fraction of these have been studied for their effects on humans. There have been no studies at all showing the consequences of using these agents in varying combinations with each other. Living in such a toxic environment places our bodies under constant bombardment from every conceivable angle.More than scary: Every other American is chronically ill. 

In addition, each year the average American consumes 150 lbs of sugar and 566 cans of soft drinks (“liquid candy”). Junk food consumption has grown drastically in the last few decades Compared to 1981. In 2001 the average American consumed in one year: 45 large bags of Potato chips - up 78%: 120 orders of french fries - up 130%: 190 candy bars - up 80%: 120 pastries or desserts - up 95%: 150 slices of pizza- up 143%.

Fast and junk foods contain dangerous additives, chemicals, and many are laced with excitotoxins such as aspartame. (Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate neurons to death, causing brain damage of varying degrees.) Looking at these astonishing figures, the fact that every second person in the U.S. is chronically ill should come as no surprise.

According to the Partnership for Solutions, led by Johns Hopkins University and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, more than 125 million Americans — nearly half of the population — have at least one chronic condition and 60 million have more than one condition. Examples of chronic conditions are cancer, heart disease, diabetes and glaucoma. By 2020, the number of people living with chronic conditions is expected to rise to 157 million and direct medical costs are expected to double to more than $1 trillion (80 percent of the nation’s health care spending).

How to maintain health and vitality

As our environment and food are increasingly saturated with chemicals, the body’s detoxification system becomes overburdened. The constant circulation of toxins taxes the immune system, which must continually strive to destroy them. Since the body is incapable of eliminating all the accumulated poisons on its own, it needs assistance in detoxifying. We can help this process along through the regular use of cleanses, such as colon hydrotherapy.

“Through my 25 years in medical practice and health care.. .1 has come to believe that the cleansing/detoxification process is the missing link in Western nutrition and one of the keys to real healing. I have seen hundreds of patients over the years transform regular or persistent illness into health and greatly improved vitality.” — Elson M. Haas, M.D. founder and medical director of the Preventive Medical Center of Mann and author of several popular health books

Understanding that our quality of life is determined by our daily choices, we have the power to improve our health and well-being one step at a time. Optimum nutrition is a key factor, but our health depends not only on what

nutrients we eat, but how much of those nutrients are absorbed and how well and regularly the body’s waste products are eliminated. With regular use of colon hydrotherapy, the cleansing and detoxification it provides, it can

immediately begin to maintain health and vitality, even as we age.

Where to start

Any cleansing program should begin in the colon, the last portion of the digestive system. The colon’s job is to compact the chime, absorb water, and receive B-vitamins that are produced by healthy intestinal bacteria. One

of the most renowned nutrition experts in the world, Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., author of many popular health books, states: “In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place.”

We could actually compare the function of the colon in our bodies to a sewer system in an Iarge city. Just imagine for a second what would happen if the sewers in our area became clogged by some debris. Undoubtedly, within

a short time our whole neighborhood would be filled with filth and an unbearable stench. This is the same process that occurs in our bodies when the elimination system is not functioning properly.

When the colon is clean and healthy, we experience an overall well-being. When it is congested with stagnant waste, poisons back up into the system and ~pollute the inner environment. This is called autointoxication or self-poisoning.

 

Signs of self-poisoning

In her best-selling book, Internal Cleansing, Dr. Linda Berry, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist, summarizes the symptoms of self-poisoning.  “If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing

autointoxication (a process whereby you are poisoned by substances produced by your own body as a result of inadequate digestion and elimination), and therefore you might want to consider some type of internal cleansing program:
