Is Colon Cleansing Safe ?

The colon is a specific area of the lower intestine where waste materials and toxins that have been built up in the body over time are stored before they are excreted. With each bowel movement, the colon gets rid of toxins and waste materials from the body that has been produced through the oxidation of food in the body.

The colon can periodically get clogged due to a lack of efficiency in the body and its systems. When that happens and extra build up of waste present, the symptoms will show themselves as constipation and stomach ache among others, and if it is not dealt with can cause further complications and disorders.

There are many different ways in which we can naturally and organically help our digestive systems and bodily systems to function better at their optimal rates and help prevent colon and intestinal build up. These ways include drinking plenty of water and always remaining well hydrated as well as getting the right amounts of roughage and fibre in our diets.

Regular exercise is also a key ingredient in keeping our colons and entire digestive tracts healthy and in good working order.

Our daily diet contains a lot of natural colon cleaners and as long as we are eating a balanced and healthy diet on a daily basis our colons should remain healthy and clear. Fibre is a brilliant tool for helping to clean colons as it acts as a form of brush in our intestines, sweeping up all the waste and toxins as it passes through so that we can excrete it safely.

In some extreme cases when the natural path to colon cleansing is not seeming to work properly then there are plenty of further methods and solutions to cleaning our Colons. There are further natural methods to explore such as vitamin tablets and many herbal remedies that can be taken orally and have a cleaning affect on our whole body as well as our Colons. These are a mainly filled with fibre which, again, can safely be acquired though a balanced diet so it is recommended to attempt the diet first.

These methods are the least invasive and embarrassing as well as being the most pleasant form of colon cleaning available, yet, if there is a large stubborn blockage and further health problems and complications are beginning to arise, a more immediate and drastic form of colon cleansing may be required.

In this situation, we can see more drastic measures being taken such as enemas and colonic irrigation. Artificial colon cleaners are available but the problems that arise with these types of cleaning mechanisms are the affect that they have on the intestinal walls. As well as accumulating waste material, the intestines are the location of the nutrients of food to be absorbed into our bodies. When artificial colon cleaners are used in this area we can see problems arise with the absorption rate of nutrients which can cause further problems.

The problems that this can lead to are mainly through dehydration and no colon cleanser has yet to be FDA approved fully under these circumstances. Of course in extreme circumstances we may have no choice but to act immediately but if there is no immediate danger then natural methods of colon cleaning are always to be preferred.

Colon Cancer Symptoms and Info

Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. It is the third most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the Western world.

Colorectal cancer causes 655,000 deaths worldwide per year. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from adenomatous polyps in the colon. These mushroom-like growths are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy. Therapy is usually through surgery, which in many cases is followed by chemotherapy.

Colon cancer often causes no symptoms until it has reached a relatively advanced stage. Thus, many organizations recommend periodic screening for the disease with fecal occult blood testing and colonoscopy. When symptoms do occur, they depend on the site of the lesion.

Generally speaking, the nearer the lesion is to the anus, the more bowel symptoms there will be, such as:

  • Change in bowel habits o change in frequency (constipation and/or diarrhea)
  • Change in the quality of stools o change in consistency of stools
  • Bloody stools or rectal bleeding
  • Tarry stools (melena) (more likely related to upper gastrointestinal eg stomach or duodenal disease)
  • Stools with mucus
  • Reduction in diameter of faeces
  • Feeling of incomplete defecation (tenesmus) (usually associated with rectal cancer)
  • Bowel obstruction (rare)
