Our bodies accumulate waste in our lower intestines.  Even though we may go to the bathroom on a ‘regular’ basis, the accumulation still occurs in many of us.  You’ve probably heard about the Hollywood stars receiving a colon cleansing to loose 5, 10 or even 15 pounds.  The weight reduction is the removal of accumulated waste in the lower intestine.  I know, it’s a bit difficult to discuss but lower intestinal and colon cleansing may help us avoid some of the cancers that plague us today.

The easiest way to cleanse is by taking a product or products specifically designed for colon cleansing.  One such product is provided by Life Force, but there are many on the market.  While the process involves expelling built up matter from the lower intestines and colon, it is important that the process be gentle on the system.  A good method involves three parts:

1.  Something to break down the built up matter - tablets that do not dissolve until they reach the lower intestine are a good choice.

2.  Something to flush everything out - a bulking agent high in fiber.  Remember to flush everything out you’ll need to drink plenty of water.

3.  Something to eliminate the gases, bloating, headaches that often accompany a detox program.  An asprin only gets rid of the headache, it does not eliminate the gases that are being created when detoxifying.  Try an activated charcoal that actually absorbs the toxins and the gases created during the process.  The benefit is no bloating and no headaches.  Note that you’ll need to watch the timing of any medications as the charcoal will absorb them too.

There are some detoxification programs that do contain all three - herbal tabs, fiber or bulking agent, and activated charcoal.  Try one of the programs since they are usually designed specifically for a gentle cleansing.  Many choose to do a cleansing twice per year.
