The intestines are responsible for the digestive functions. The small intestine takes nutrients from food and produces digestive enzymes to facilitate digestion of food. The large intestine, or colon, absorbs water and eliminates waste. When the colon becomes blocked, constipation may occur. Blockages in the colon lead to a number of serious health issues because the body cannot release toxicity and becomes a fertile ground for disease, including colon cancer.
Instructions
1. Fast on raw fruit and vegetables for ten days. Make sure to eat plenty of fruit with a high content of water and green vegetables as they are high in fiber.
2. Drink twelve cups of water a day, each with 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1 tbsp of honey or Grade B pure maple syrup and a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper for three to ten days. Do not eat or drink anything else for this period. This is known as the lemon-honey colon cleanse and it is a more intense fast than the raw fruit and vegetable fast mentioned above.
3. Add psyllium husk, slippery elm bark, bentonite clay or flax seeds to a large glass of water to form a bulking agent that will clean the intestines like brush. A type of bulking gel forms that sweeps debris from the intestines but you must drink a minimum of eight glasses of water a day for this to be effective. This can be added to your daily routine and is especially effective to begin after completing a fast.
4. Give yourself a coffee enema. This will assist the liver in removing waste and detoxifying the body. Follow the link in the reference section to get instructions on perform a coffee enema for yourself.
5. Take probiotics as a supplement if you can. See your doctor to make sure it is safe for you, before taking any supplement. Once permission is given by your doctor, get a probiotic from a health food outlet so you can build up intestinal flora and destroy any harmful bacteria in the intestines. Probiotics or live active cultures are also found in yogurt.
