What Is Auto-Intoxication?
Auto-intoxication is quite simply the self-poisoning of the body caused by a toxic colon. When waste faecal matter is not being fully expelled from the body at least once or twice a day, it soon begins to putrefy in the warm wet environment of the gut. The bacteria that set to work in breaking down the waste release powerful toxins can leach into the bloodstream via the colon wall. These toxins can quickly overload the filtration organs including the liver, kidneys and the spleen resulting in the symptoms shown above.
Indeed, The Royal Society of Medicine of Great Britain has published the revelation that, "More than 65 different health challenges are caused by a toxic colon".
In the extreme, auto-intoxication has been implicated in conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS / M.E) and cancer.
Dr. Norman W. Walker, D.SC., PhD. offers the following insight from his book Colon Health, The Key to a Vibrant Life: "Few of us realize that failure to effectively eliminate waste products from the body causes so much fermentation and putrefaction in the colon that the neglected accumulation of waste can, and frequently does, result in a lingering demise! Infirmity and sickness is the result of allowing the intestines to remain loaded with waste-matter."
Why is the Colon important?
The colon (or bowel) forms the final part of the digestive system. A vital organ in its own right, it performs a number of essential digestive functions including the absorption of water.
The colon is also responsible for eliminating food and specific body wastes in addition to protecting us from disease and infection. In a normally functioning colon, this is achieved by the billions of friendly bacteria that inhabit the colon and make up some 70% of the dry weight of our faecal matter. We need to be careful as the delicate balance of this internal ecosystem can easily be disturbed by pollution, poor food, stress, alcohol, tobacco, electromagnetic influences, anti-biotics, smoking and exposure to toxic substances.
The Importance of good bowel health
You can draw your own conclusions as to the importance of good bowel health from the following facts:
•The United Kingdom is the most constipated nation in the world.
•The UK has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world with 20,000 new cases per year.
•The healthy transit time of food through our bodies is less than 24 hours. On average in the UK it is now 60 hours for men and 70 for women.
•One in three people consulting GPs have a bowel problem. Bowel disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, Diverticulitis and yeast infections are now widespread.
