The human body is designed to consume food, absorb nutrients from food, and eliminate food wastes as well as natural toxins that are inherently produced by the human body. The efficient completion of these functions is essential for the maintenance of an individual's overall health.

However, the disruptions in the normal functioning of the organs designed to accomplish the task of eliminating bodily and food wastes can ultimately lead to a number of diseases. These organs primarily include the lungs, kidneys, liver, colon, and the skin.

The colon is the end part of the human digestive tract and is therefore responsible for the final elimination of food wastes. It is composed of the large intestine and the rectum. The colon is a muscular tube that is filled with nerves and bacteria that aid in digestion, otherwise known as microflora. In fact, there are about 60 kinds of good bacteria that are responsible for synthesizing vital nutrients from foods, maintaining a good pH balance in the gut, and containing harmful bacteria to prevent them from spreading throughout the body.

Due to modern lifestyle which include abusive intake of alcohol and drugs, smoking and especially unhealthy foods high in sugar and fat, the natural functioning of the colon is oftentimes upset. This upset can lead to a number of illnesses which include constipation, diarrhea, migraines, bad breath, body odor, depression, and anxiety- to name only few.

The diseases that can be triggered by a toxic colon are not only limited to gastrointestinal discomforts. Accumulated waste in the colon is one great source of the toxins that affect other organs in the body. This happens when the toxins penetrate through the colon walls and get into the bloodstream. Once they get into the bloodstream, these toxins are allowed to attack other organs and glands of the body, resulting to various illnesses.

Naturopathic practitioners and alternative medicine advocates recommend colon cleansing. This can be achieved through taking herbal cleansing supplements, oxygen-based cleansers. Also, treatments such as enemas and colonics are used for the purpose of cleansing the colon. However, these cleansing products and treatments are not to be taken in ignorance. One must first have a thorough knowledge of the cleansing product and treatment taking them.

Certain medical conditions do not permit the use for colonic treatments. Also, some people may have allergic reactions to the ingredients that make up the supplements and cleansers. Thus, professional medical advice and diagnosis should be considered before taking these products and treatments.
