Your Digestive Health
Micki Dukin field BA, RN
Every season brings something new. For the sake of your digestive health, a gentle herbal cleanse to comfortably flush the toxins and trapped wastes from your colon is a must, every season.
Retained debris in the colon leads to the absorption of toxins, resulting in systemic intoxication (poisoning). Symptoms of this condition can include mental confusion, depression, irritability, fatigue, gastrointestinal irregularities, and even allergic reactions such as hives, sneezing, and coughing.
Research is currently underway investigating the effects of probiotics on strengthening the immune system, inhibiting the effects of food borne illness, preventing colon cancer and reducing cholesterol. One German study showed that probiotics alone lowered cholesterol levels in elderly men.
CLEANSING / AUTOINTOXICATION
We clean our skin every day, but most people never consider whether or not they need to clean their intestines.
Our intestinal tract is like a plumbing system in a house, with the small intestines comparable to sewage pipes and the colon comparable to the septic tank. When fat and debris are poured down the drain every day, the pipes will become clogged. Septic tanks need to be pumped out occasionally. Otherwise, too much waste will accumulate and back up into the house. The same thing will happen to your intestines. When you pour greasy or starchy food, excessive dairy products, meats and other foods with toxic substances down your intestinal tract every day, food residues build up.
Food residues, combines with mucous secreted by mucous membranes in the colon, form layers of gluey feces, which will build up in pockets and may pile up along the entire length of the colon and part of the small intestines, year after year.
Constipation becomes the “norm”.
People have been known to carry 18-23 kilograms of old, dried up fecal matter in their intestines. Old feces do not pass from the body with ordinary bowel movements. They need special treatment to dissolve the glue which binds them to the intestinal wall.
If you let these decayed food residues accumulate in your intestines, you may suffer from AUTOINTOXICATION (self – poisoning), which is a disorder resulting from absorption of the waste products of metabolism, decomposed matter from the intestine, or even the products of dead and infected tissue as in gangrene. The toxins can be carried by the blood stream to all parts of the body and end up in every cell, leading to various forms of illness.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, consider some form of internal cleansing programme:
• Allergy or intolerance to certain foods
• Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools
• Constipation, diarrhoea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements
• Frequent congestion, colds, and viruses
• Flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders
• General aches and pains that migrate from one place to another
• Intolerance to fatty foods
• Low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason
• Lower back pain
• Lowered resistance to infections
• Pain in your liver or gall bladder
• skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, etc
If you have severe symptoms or any serious disorders, ensure that you seek the attention of a competent health care provider. The list above is meant to indicate some of the symptoms of autointoxication. Anyone who has been on a standard New Zealand diet for more than two years would benefit from periodic cleansing, especially if you live in an urban area. Why live with the residue of what you ate two years ago decomposing in your system?
Use a Cleansing Program every change of season or 4 times a year!
YOUR BODY WILL THANK YOU FOREVER!
Herbalife’s HERBAL ALOE and SIMPLE PROBIOTIC Cleansing Programme
It is a two-product system designed to detoxify and maintain colon health. Because the colon is the digestive system’s key organ of elimination, when it is impaired it can affect proper colonic functioning.
Use our HERBAL ALOE and SIMPLE PROBIOTIC a minimum of four times per year, and the change of seasons is a good way to remember to do it. Always cleanse after you’ve used a prescription antibiotic, too.
The products support the body’s ability to remove health-robbing toxins from every cell in your body. In addition, it promotes the body’s regular, natural self-cleansing action.
One of the first questions I usually get is, “Will it give me diarrhea”? No
Just a gentle, smooth cleansing action.
These products are a special combination of wholesome ingredients such as “friendly bacteria” and health enhancing “probiotic factors” along with an exclusive blend of fibre and other herbal and botanical factors that help soothe, rebuild and revitalise the colon environment and intestinal environment.
Don’t worry about the names, just know that if you have lots of “good bacteria” they can fight off and prevent the build-up of any bad bacteria such as salmonella.
Probiotics are known for their ability to relieve constipation, prevent diarrhea, and reduce some food sensitivities such as lactose intolerance.
Herbalife’s “Specialised Internal Programme” includes our Herbal Aloe, which gently helps to heal and maintain the lining of the digestive system, Simple Probiotic for even more of the “good” bacteria combined with bulk forming fibre.
