GUT Feelings
Over sixty million Americans suffer from digestive disorders, making gastrointestinal complaints the third leading cause of illness in the U.S. There are approximately 44.9 million visits annually to ambulatory care facilities due to diseases of the digestive system (1999).
The “little Purple” pill is now the most prescribed prescription drug sold in the U.S, used exclusively for digestive disorders. It is obvious we may be ignoring our Gut feelings by covering them up!
Impaired digestion is the beginning of a series of problems that ultimately lead to chronic disease. It is estimated that more than half of all Americans have at least one chronic disease. (Such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer, lupus, chronic fatigue to name a few)
There are many factors that can and do influence the process of digestive disorders, including diet, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, environmental toxins, genetics, and stress. Let’s take a closer look.
Stress is one of the primary causes of poor digestion. Any type of stress can have an adverse effect on the digestive process by lowering or inhibiting important enzymes and acid production. The body is designed to handle stress with an automatic preserve mode (through the autonomic nervous system) by diverting energy, blood, enzymes and oxygen away from the digestive organs. This is known as the Flight or fight response. It’s a handy response system when you are running away from a hungry lion in the jungle. However, most of us are just running late to work or to the next appointment. If for example, you have just eaten breakfast, and are late for work, the body will support the stressful trek through traffic, and divert the essential enzymes and acids that are the key in proper digestion. This results in the incomplete digestion of food, hence beginning the series of problems that lead to ill health. Physical, emotional and mental stress- including financial worries, unhappy home life and unfulfilling career- are all a strain on the body and adversely affect the digestive process.
In our modem society we are virtually surrounded by environmental stress in the form of pollution, drugs, and chemical additives. Almost 1.5 billion pounds of pesticides are sprayed on wheat and vegetable crops in the U.S. each year. That is more than 5 pounds for every person! These environmental stressors contaminate our bodies and overburden our natural defense system for proper elimination. There are more than 80,000 toxic chemicals in use today, with 1,200 new ones added each year.
Chemicals also are found in the form of additives used to color, flavor, preserve, and treat our foods. Many of these additives are laced with excitotoxins such as aspartame. ( Excitotoxins are substances added to foods and beverages that literally stimulate the neurons to death)
One of the causes of overweight is the body’s retention of water and fat to try to dilute pesticides and other poisons.
It’s no wonder that every second person in the U.S. is chronically ill! Excessive toxins (chemicals, pollution, and drugs) must be processed and removed from the body. This detoxification process demands large amounts of energy from the body, which leaves little energy for proper digestive function. The body becomes overburdened, and can ultimately lead to degenerative and chronic disease.
Refined carbohydrates, which include all products made with white sugar and flour, have been stripped of dozens of essential nutrients, including trace mineral needed for carbohydrate combustion. A diet of refined carbohydrates forces the body to rob itself of trace minerals (chromium, manganese, cobalt, copper, zinc, and magnesium) needed to digest the carbohydrates. These partially digested foods FERMENT into simple sugars and alcohol, creating fuel for bacteria, and yeasts. This leads to indigestion, gas and bloating, which then increases the body’s toxic load.
Increased toxic load in the body creates a form of self poisoning called autointoxication, which can lead to degenerative disease.
A frequent habit of snacking results in an energy drain on the digestive organs. Overeating and poor food selections also overburden and stress the digestive process. This is in part the reason for a virtual epidemic of obesity in America.
What can you do to improve your digestion? The answer to this question is not new: Begin with managing STRESS. Learn to relax, breath in and let the guy get to the light before you. Use exercise to help you relax and gain confidence in yourself. Take the time to eat clean food , chew thoroughly, and choose healthy life sustaining foods. Enhance your digestion through the use of digestive enzymes and nutrient supplementation. Consume essential fatty acids and fiber. Utilize Colon hydrotherapy as a way to assist in the detoxification of the digestive system. Colon hydrotherapy is the therapeutic application of water into the colon. It is known to be a safe effective method of removing waste from the large intestine, naturally.
Rheumatologist Arthur E, Brawer, MD lists the following conditions among those he has found to respond well to colon hydrotherapy:
• Allergies
• Asthma
• ADD
• Chronic fatigue
• Headaches
• Constipation
• Irritable Bowel
• Arthritis
• Acne
• Potbelly
• Skin rashes
• Fibromyalgia
• Toxic /environmental exposure
• Muscle/back pain
Remember to check with your health care provider before beginning any new program. You are in control of your body’s destiny, listen to your gut feeling and get on with vibrant health.

Bigger, Badder Foods Sell Better
Consumers say they want healthier options, but the Big Bad Food still sells better! (according to a
USA today report last month.) The biggest seller is the 1,420 calorie Monster Thickburger sold at Carls
Jr. When Americans eat out, the goal is to… indulge. “Healthy eating isn’t a trend. It’s a slow creep,”
says Ron Paul, president of a research firm called Technomic.“Most people would rather take a pill than change eating habits.” That supports the fact that some of the most popular fast food restaurants are adding bigger badder foods to their menus… such as Burger King’s Enormous Omelet sandwich with 2 slices of cheese, three strips of bacon and a sausage patty, and 2 eggs. That whopping 730-calorie breakfast item is a hot seller. BK sells about 100 Whoppers for every Veggie Burger, and about 10 Whoppers to every salad. IHOP is stuffing their foods. The pancake chain is promoting Stuffed French Toast – filled with sweetened cream cheese... loaded up with fat and sugar! The chain says that less than 1% of guests “show any meaningful interest” in better- for- you foods. Ben & Jerry’s dropped all three of its NO-Carb ice cream flavors and have introduced a wider cone that can hold two scoops instead of one. Marketing director David Stever says “We don’t have better-for-you-food customers, we have full-fat customers who may feel guilty once in a great while.” Pizza Hut got even cheesier with its new Triple cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza. It took in 20% of the chains business within four days of introduction. The chain sells less than 1 lower calorie Fit N’Delicious pizza for every 100-pan pizzas. Recently media has portrayed that the public is looking to eat healthier foods, however the proof is in the sales of BIGGER BADDER FOODS… and Americans are eating tons of it.
The most popular menu item ordered by men at restaurants last year was Hamburgers. (Reported by the NPD group which tracks consumer eating habits.) French Fries ranks second. Women were reported that the opposite was true in favorite foods… French fries being #1 and burgers to follow. Pizza is ranked #3 by men and women. Even in the age of a better-educated dining public, consumers are choosing the highest in fat, sugar and salt. “Americans have always had the means to eat healthier, but they do not have the will,” says Harry Balzer, VP of the NPD. Even though this diet is killing us… we still choose to eat this way.
WHY YOU CRAVE A BURGER!
We are redesigning our genetic development by eating these foods for the last few decades says Steven Whitherly PHD., and author of his soon to be published book called WHY PEOPLE LIKE JUNK FOOD. He contends that we seek out fats, sugar, and salt because it has become programmed in our genetics. Fats, sugars, and salt stimulate the pleasure centers of our brains and humans naturally seek out pleasurable stimuli.
Huge portions of fats, sugars and salt, increases brain chemicals involved in feeling good. And who doesn’t want to feel good?! These foods cause cravings. Taste buds are highly stimulated and we want to repeat that stimulation over and over again. We are addicted to the Bad Foods. This may explain why fried chicken… not salads or veggies…emerged as the fastest growing food category in 2004.
WHAT’S SO BAD ABOUT BAD FOOD?
Since we are a better-educated generation, don’t we already know the answer to that question? The US has the highest incidence of Colon cancer in the world. And it hasn’t been decreasing! Neither has the onset of diabetes, heart disease, or cancer become less evident. So why aren’t we worried about these facts? It seems like we may have a case of split personality. What we say we want and what we do are totally opposite. Don’t we want to prevent these illnesses? Maybe we want to feel good NOW. Do we really spend much time thinking about the possibility of getting one of these diseases? Preventing diseases isn’t a usual motivator to eat healthier for most consumers. We know what we should do for better health. Each day, millions of us reach for the aspirins, antihistamines, acid reflux caps, pain pills, diet aids, prescriptions, alcohol, caffeine, and
illegal substances to help us feel better! Obviously we want to feel better. Obviously we desire to look better
too, so we reach for diets, botox, lotions, tans, even surgery to instantly look better NOW. Have we gone
insane? Or have we become too stressed, too lazy, and too fast to plant the seeds for a long and healthier
life? Now we know that the public wants to eat BIGGER BADDER foods, so what can we do to feel better
and not guilty over the less than desirable choices we make?
Ideally, Americans need to start walking the path to health, in their bodies and minds… and live a philosophy of creating wellness within ourselves. This will eventually improve our ‘genetics’ and addictions. It will also create wellness for the entire planet. Aside from that…what about CLEANSING? Cleansing is the celebs secret to feeling great. You heard that Janet Jackson, Madonna, and Dave Navarro get regular cleansing to stay fit. It’s true, and so can you, despite our need to eat bigger and badder! It’s an easy, natural and fast way
to feel better. Use of Colon cleansing gets out the C.R.A.P. – the Caffeine, Refined sugars, Alcohol,
Antibiotics, Processed foods and pollutants.
A Gentle Cleanse offers the most up dated colon cleansing equipment, using a pencil thin tube, that you insert only 1 inch into the rectum with total privacy and comfort. There is a difference in equipment and facilities, so be sure to get all the facts. Start cleansing out some of that CRAP you have been putting in. Cleansing helps you feel better fast. Would you neglect to brush your teeth or take a daily shower? Then it makes sense to cleanse the inside. Your body is overloaded with toxins and waste. In fact the average person carries around 2 to 25 pounds of waste in the large intestine, which ferments and poisons the rest of our body. No wonder we feel like CRAP.
You may not be able to stick to a healthier diet, but you now have a comfortable easy way to get some of
that waste out… with colon cleansing!

Health From The Inside Out!!
A healthy colon is the key to maintaining optimal health Consider the facts...Colon cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States and at least 2 million people suffer with colon related diseases, including colitis, IBS, and diverticulitis. In the U.S. alone, over 4 million dollars are spent annually on laxatives. The typical American diet consists of caffeine, refined sugars, alcohol and processed foods – C.R.A.P – all which cause problems for the colon.
Health authorities believe that the average person has 5 to 25 pounds of accumulated waste/toxic matter in
their colon. The accumulation of this waste/toxins blocks efficient absorption of nutrients, creates dehydration,
and inhibits elimination. As a result ... Constipation, diarrhea, headaches, backaches, fatigue, gas and bloating abdomen, mental confusion, allergies and sinus infections, insomnia, food cravings, depression, hypoglycemia, bad breath, arthritis, weight gain, many diseases and even death can occur from an overloaded toxic colon.
Bowel Toxemia is a problem caused by years of buildup of waste material-impacted feces, bacteria, fungi, accumulated mucous, parasites, etc.- on the colon walls. Toxins in the colon can be transported into the circulatory system, overburden the liver and suppress the immune system. This is why many health experts now agree that all disease begins in the colon.
In the United States, obesity has become a serious health concern. Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon/digestive tract as either a primary contributor, or a secondary problem, which accentuates slowdowns in other critical body systems. For many people the signs of colon dysfunction are so much a part of their everyday living that they may not suspect that their health is in danger.
THE BEST WAY TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY COLON IS TO:
• Avoid C.R.A.P. - Caffeine,
Refined Sugars, Alcohol,
Processed Foods
• Eat a diet high in fiber through
fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Eat a natural variety of
wholesome foods
• Drink plenty of water
• Exercise regularly and manage
stress
But, this may not be enough!
Consider the benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy. Through cleansing the colon with colon hydrotherapy, the toxic
material is broken down so that it can no longer overburden your body. The colon is hydrated with a gentle infusion of purified water and helps loosen and dislodge areas of impaction. This rids the colon of the waste/toxins efficiently. Colon Hydrotherapy differs from an enema in that the enema only reaches the rectum or lower part of the colon, whereas with colon hydrotherapy the entire large intestine (5 to 5 1/2 ft.) is reached. The various state-of-the-art equipment now available for colon hydrotherapy is safe, effective and
comfortable. The advanced Libbe system provides easy self-administration of a pencil thin tube. There is no
longer a need for the embarrassment of another person inserting a large tube into your body. Many celebrities
and athletes have been noted to utilize colon hydrotherapy as part of their secret to health, fitness and energy.
It should be noted that it takes a series of treatments before the total benefits of colon hydrotherapy are
realized. The person may expel gas during the first few treatments, which in itself can provide a huge relief. Be
patient when pursuing a therapeutic course of colon hydrotherapy, and the benefits can be the key to vibrant
health. These treatments can then be one of the factors in maintaining a healthy life style.
