Where Are Your Meals Hiding?

Proper bowel function entails having 2 to 3 good (soft but solid) bowel movements per day. Most people are not aware of this, and go through their daily lives eliminating once a day, once every other day, or less. Ask yourself this question on a daily basis: If we eat three meals a day and only eliminate once a day, where are the other 2 meals hiding? The belief in the importance of eliminating 2 to 3 times a day can be validated by using an infant as an example. Ask any mother for further proof-A baby will eat and immediately eliminate. Their new digestive systems have not had time to develop malabsorption problems caused by improper diet, environmental toxins, and stress. Faulty digestion and elimination develop in an individual through years of improper lifestyle and dietary habits.

When we are not eliminating properly, wastes may not be expelled for days, weeks, months, or even, years. Auto-intoxication (self-poisoning) may result as waste and toxins back up in the colon. This occurs when the bowel walls become encrusted with uneliminated fecal matter, hampering the absorption of vital nutrients and providing a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria. Blood capillaries lining the bowel wall begin to absorb these toxins into the bloodstream, consequently polluting all of our organs and cells. What would happen if we didn't empty our garbage cans for months and we kept on throwing more and more food on top of the old? Wouldn't all of our homes start smelling like a garbage dump? The same thing happens with a sluggish, clogged colon. The toxic wastes have nowhere to go, so they build up in the bowel. These poisons eventually seep into every cell in the body, setting the stage for "disease".

This auto-intoxication lowers are overall feeling of health and vitality. We start to blame other factors such as aging on why we experience a lack of vitality. The true fact is that age has nothing to do with this depletion of energy and less than optimal health. Ninety percent of the time, these complaints can be alleviated through internal cleansing techniques.
