Colon Cleanse vs. Total Body Cleanse

January 27th, 2010

Recently, someone asked me if it was possible to cleanse just one organ – like the colon – instead of just cleansing the entire body.

I’m not sure why they would ask me that question? Seems a bit odd.

But anyways, the answer I gave is very straightforward…

When you cleanse, you are inevitably cleansing your entire body. It’s almost impossible to solely detoxify just one organ within your body – that’s not how we operate.

Everything in our body is connected.

For instance, when you want to cleanse your colon, you can’t partake in things like enemas, colonics, or following detox diet. I personally prefer the diet approach.

But regardless of how you do it, you will not only be cleaning out your intestines but your blood, and thus liver and kidneys as well.

As your colon becomes cleaner (and healthier) there is lesser likelihood of “auto-intoxication” caused by harmful bacteria. Auto-intoxification is when the bacteria spew their waste products back into the bloodstream.

Since the liver filters everything in the blood, it follows that if your colon is cleaner, thus producing less toxic output, there will be less stress on your liver – the major filtering organ of your body.

As I just mentioned, the liver is really the big filtering (or detoxifying) agent in the body. Unfortunately, because most people intoxicate their bodies with poor food and lifestyle choices, they impose a huge amount of stress on their liver.

Thus, simply improving your diet (not even doing a full-out cleansing program) can make a big difference for a lot of people.

Adding more greens into your diet and reducing intake of refined sugars, stimulants, and alcohol are just a few things you can do to starting cleansing your entire body – not just your colon or liver individually.
