Too little attention is generally given to the preservation of health. It is far better to prevent disease than to know how to treat it when contracted. It is the duty of every person, for his own sake, and for the sake of humanity, to inform himself in regard to the laws of life and conscientiously to obey them. . .They should understand the functions of the various organs and the dependence of one upon another for the healthy action of all. . .and the laws by which they are governed. E. G. White, 1905.
As the statement above, (written one-hundred years ago), so aptly points out—more attention ought to be paid to the prevention of disease (or the preservation of health), than on treating it. Truly, if we could learn this fundamental principle there would be less time required for treatment and more time available for enjoying the blessings of life and health. On these pages are the principles for preserving health and vigor—amazingly basic principles that, when applied faithfully, will also reverse disease. And since so many are suffering from one of the most basic of health conditions, constipation, please, let’s begin with . . .
View of a clogged colon.
Modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive/elimination organs. Refined, processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, a lack of exercise and an ever-increasing level of stress all contribute to our current gastrointestinal health crisis. Digestive system and colon health have reached an-all-time low in the United States. Diseases of the digestive tract are on the rise. In 1994 the #1 Cancer among men and women was Colon-Rectal.
The frequency at which a normal, healthy person should move their bowels has been a great misconception among the public and most medical professionals. For years, doctors have thought that anywhere between 1 bowel movement a day and 1 a week was normal. In the examination of more primitive peoples, we find that their bowels move much more frequently, 2 to 3 times daily on the average. This is due to the fact that these people eat better, get more exercise and have much less stress. What we have learned is that it is normal to have 1 bowel movement a day for each meal you eat, (if you eat 3 meals you should have 3 bowel movements).
The Merck Manual, the medical industry’s standard text for the diagnosis and treatment of disease, tells us that colon degeneration is on the rise. The incidence of diverticulosis has increased dramatically over the last 40 years. It states, that in 1950, only 10% of adults over the age of 45 had this disease, in 1955 15%, in 1972 30% and in 1987 almost 75%. The latest edition states that the incidence “increases rapidly” over age 40 and that “every person will have many” if they live long enough.
Every American adult will have herniation of the large intestine. Diverticula are saccular herniations that protrude through the wall of the colon. These “bowel pockets” are almost always asymptomatic, (you can’t feel them). They are caused by a sluggish constipated bowel. These pockets fill with old fecal material which can be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
This can infect the entire body causing all types of toxic reactions. A sluggish bowel can retain pounds of old, toxic and poisonous fecal matter. Many times the real cause behind sickness and disease is this retention and reabsorption of toxic waste. The first step in everyone’s health program should be stimulating, cleaning and toning all the elimination organs, and the bowel is the best place to begin.
There are many “cleansing and detoxification” programs out there, and many of them are very good. However, we have developed a very thorough program that gets results and will help to reverse the various disease processes that have taken years to acquire. If you are suffering from Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Arthritis, Colitis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Cancer, or any degenerative disease, this 10-Day Cleansing and Detoxification Program is for you.
Mind you, this program isn’t the the all-inclusive cure to all your ills — it is the beginning to your road to recovery. And the great news is, IT WORKS! But you must follow through with the entire program. Don’t skimp or whimp out. Have fun with the program and get your loved ones involved.
