Detox, fasting, colonics!! Why should I cleanse my body?
Dr. Bernard Jensen (pioneering naturopathic physician and master herbalist
in the 60’s and 70’s) said, “It is the bowel that invariably has to be cared
for first before any effective healing can take place.” What you are about
to read should further answer your question:
- According to the US-based, nonprofit environmental advocacy group,
Environmental Defense, more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are
released into the environment each year; seeping into the air we breathe,
the water we drink and the food we eat. 72 million pounds of these chemicals
are known carcinogens; an agent directly related to the promotion of cancer.
- In a major new study published in Cancer, a journal of the American Cancer
Society, researchers from the Harvard Medical School and School of Public
Health, the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., USC’s Keck
School of Medicine, and the Silent Spring Institute concluded that more than
200 chemicals - many found in urban air and everyday consumer products -
cause breast cancer in animal tests. According to the study authors, at
least 73 of these breast carcinogens are present in consumer products or are
food contaminants such as 1,4-dioxane in shampoos, or acrylamide in French
fries. ( www.ewg.org )
- In a study spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in
collaboration with Commonweal, researchers at two major laboratories found
an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord
blood from 10 babies born in August and September of 2004 in U.S. hospitals.
Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord
blood of these 10 children, collected by Red Cross after the cord was cut,
harbored pesticides, consumer product ingredients, and wastes from burning
coal, gasoline and garbage. (

- It is estimated that over 90 percent of diseases result directly or
indirectly in an unhealthy digestive system. Toxins from a polluted and
congested bowel constantly seep into the bloodstream and lymph systems and
eventually settle into the weakest areas of the body. This causes cell
degeneration which results in disease, such as cancer. As eloquently put by
Dr. Bernard Jensen, “Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by
the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty and so on to the
organs and tissues.”
...and this is why you should cleanse your body!
