Colon therapy is a major detoxification protocol and because all of us can benefit from detoxifying our systems, nearly everyone should experience colon therapy. When the colon is packed or lined with an accumulation of feces lodged in the pockets of the colon walls, muscular contractions are obstructed and more feces build up. This results in the colon's inability to properly evacuate. The clogged colon interferes with the final digestion and absorption of food. This condition deprives the body of essential nutrients and results in fermentation and putrefaction of undigested food. The byproducts of which can be poisonous. The poisons are then reabsorbed into the bloodstream causing a fatigued tired and listless feeling. Similarly, these effects on the brain and nervous system can cause depression and irritably. In a toxic state the lungs produce a foul breath and breathing becomes stressful. Skin problems and joint pains are also associated with a toxic bowel.
