NATURAL COLON CLEANSING by Maggie Simmons

Hi Friends, from today i m going to publish articles about NATURAL COLON CLEANSING


My name is Maggie Simmons and I would like to welcome you to the
Natural Colon Cleanse Newsletter. Thanks for joining me...

I thought I'd start with a brief background as to how I became
involved with helping people discover the benefits of colon
cleansing.

You see, although I didn't know it at the time, for many years I
was a long-suffering victim of a toxic colon.

It seemed like everything I ate caused me to either have stubborn
constipation or urgent diarrhea.

My stomach was bloated, bulging over my waistband making clothes
shopping a nightmare and wearing anything fitted was completely out
of the question.

But it wasn't just appearances that were causing me distress...

I also had the delight of recurring bouts of acid reflux and
indigestion. Sleeping was a challenge as every time I lay down I
could feel the food and stomach juices sitting in my throat.

Doing battle with 4 or 5 pillows to stay "propped up" became
intensly annoying.

I was waking up feeling exhausted, like all my energy had been
drained. I was like a limp rag...

And don't even get me started on the state my complexion was in!
Pale, pasty and prone to outbreaks!! At my age!

I looked and felt 'urgh'. Mirrors were not my friend - something to
'run' past with your head down.

My body was crying out for help but I just didn't realize it...

Besides I was busy - busy with life and all the things that fill
our days.

It was only when I went back to the doctor again for more tests to
discover what was behind my 'IBS' symptoms that I really began to
pay attention.

He suggested I have a colonscopy - you know where they put a tube
with a camera inside your colon to have a look around :-(

The idea didn't appeal but I agreed to make an appointment...

It was at this point that knew I had to do something about the
condition that was taking over my life.

I hadn't always felt like this and I wanted to get my vitality
back...

-----------------------------
Finding the solution
----------------------------

So, I began my journey as a dedicated health researcher focused on
cleaning up my toxic colon. I read all kinds of books...listened
to hours of tapes...and spoke to many 'experts'.

After wading through the endless piles of information I separated
the 'wheat from the chaff' and found a way to cleanse my colon and
get my zest for life back.

Oh the relief! I can't tell you!

My energy levels are back up to where they should be.

No more endless bathroom visits.

Clear skin - the acne breakouts a thing of the past.

And no more bloating!

So, in the rest of my newsletter series I'm going to walk you
through, step by step, how colon cleansing can help you maintain
better health, including:

* What role the colon plays and why it's so important to your health
* The various toxins found in the colon and the negative impacts
they can have
* Exactly what a colon cleanse is and what it involves
* The different methods of colon cleansing available so you can
choose the best one for you
* Detailed explanation of Hydrotherapy and the benefits this
treatment can offer
* How your diet impacts on the health of your colon and how small
changes can make a big difference

You'll receive your regular Natural Colon Cleanse Newsletters
[NCCN] over the next few weeks, so look out for them in your inbox!

----------------------------
Want relief now?
----------------------------

If you're sick and tired of living with the side effects of a toxic
colon and want immediate relief you can find all the information
you need in a in-depth ebook I wrote called 'Colon Cleanse your Way
to Better Health'.

You see...

I found that when I was suffering from a toxic colon nothing
'commercially available' seemed to offer the kind of information I
wanted.

This is what led me down a long path of learning, investigation and
research -finally putting together all the information I uncovered
in an easy to understand fashion, showing you what really WORKS.

I absolutely guarantee to you that this is NOT your usual 'Dry,
technical or clinical textbook'.

This is key information for anyone who is concerned about the
health of their colon and are serious about their health in general.

Benefits of Oats

Benefits of Oats
Know the benefits of Oats

Oat is a cereal grain that usually has a
bland taste and it comes in many forms.
Oats provide soluble fiber
(called beta glucan) which acts like a sponge during digestion, soaking
up and removing cholesterol from the body.

Health Benefits of
Oats:
Eating oats regularly lowers the blood cholesterol
level
The use of oats is very suitable in cases of depression,
insomnia, and physical fatigue. Unrefined oatmeal can be eaten on
regular basis to reduce stress while cooked oats will relieve fatigue.
Oat
contains silicon and vitamins A and B. It has soothing effects on the
nervous system, both when taken orally as a concoction, and when used
externally, during bathing.
Because of its high fiber content,
oats help in protection from bowel cancer.
Oats, like other
cereal grains, are valued primarily as a source of carbohydrates which
provide calories for energy needs.
Oats are also a great source
of vitamins E, B1 and B2.
Oats have a particular value in
helping a person to cope with the exhaustion that results from multiple
sclerosis, chronic neurological pain and insomnia.
Oats contain
one of the best amino acid profiles of all grains. Amino acids are
essential proteins that help facilitate optimum functioning of the body.
Oats
contain a high percentage of desirable complex carbohydrates, which
have been linked to: reduced risk of colon, breast, and prostate cancer.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!

Benefits of Tea

Benefits of Tea

Tea is a ritual enjoyed for nearly 5,000
years. The origin of tea is attributed to many a legend but one, which
has stood the test of time, is that tea originated in China. There is
story of a saint who, while meditating, fell asleep. On waking he
decided to punish himself by cutting off his eyelids. The place where
his eyelids fell to the earth a strange plant grew. The leaves of this
plant if brewed could banish sleep. These leaves were later to be
identified as tea. According to available sources the first book of tea
was written by Lu Yu in 780 A.D. and the green, black and Oolong teas
made their first appearance under the Ming Dynasty, circa 14th century.
The chinese were sole suppliers of tea to the world till the Japanese
broke their stranglehold in the 9th century and the first business
rivalry was kicked off. Since the fourth century AD, tea has been an
integral part of life in China where it is a major feature of any
important ceremony. In Japan too, the famous tea ceremony evolved from a
social ritual into an art from central to Japanese culture. Therefore,
it is not surprising that tea drinking started to spread, following the
caravan routes to Mongolia, Iran, Muslim countries and finally Russia.

Up
until the nineteenth century, China was virtually the sole supplier of
tea. Traders broke the chinese monopoly, by the establishment of tea
plantations in India and Sri Lanka, followed by Asia, Africa and Soth
America. The growing market led to intense competition between
ship-owners for the speediest transportation of tea. The age of the tea
clipper bagan. This romantic period (1840 to 1886) was famous for the
tea clipper races along the shipping routes in which many of the
fastest, most beautiful sailing vessels ever built, participated.

Europe
only began enjoying the delights of tea on a large scale when the
French East India Company introduced tea to Holland in 1610, France in
1636 and England in 1650. Tea quickly acquired great popularity in
France and the Marquise de Ia Sabliere was supposedly the first to begin
the custom of taking tea with milk.

In eighteenth century
England, tea drinking was already well established by London society who
frequented elegant teahouses. However, it was only when queen Victoria
established the great tradition of 5 o'clock tea in the nineteenth
century, that tea acquired the status of the British national drink.

In
the new world, tea was so popular with the early colonials and such a
valuable source of income to the british government, that early
Americans were obliged to pay a tax of 100% on tea. As an act of
protest, a British tea cargo was dumped in the ocean by angry taxpayers
in 1773, in the famous `Boston Tea Party`, the first act of the American
Revolution.

Tea cuts risk of heart disease and slows cancer
growth considerably

Tea drinkers take heart. Starting with your
heart teas of all the three varieties have a plenty of health benefits.
Drinking four or more cups of green tea a day may help stave off skin
cancer and the substance could be similarly effective if incorporated
into skin care creams, researchers say. The brew, which is especially
popular in Asia, where cancer is rarer than in the west, contains
antioxidants that are known to prevent skin cancer in humans, a report
on green tea research has said. Research has suggested substances in
green tea called polyphenols can kill tumor cells and may starve
cancerous growths by as much as 90%, by limiting blood vessel growth
around them. The leaf and bud of the camellia plant are the basis of
both green and black tea. But unlike black tea, which is fermented,
green tea is steamed dry immediately after harvesting, which leaves it
with larger amounts of polyphenols. Research also states that as tea
lowers the rate of cell replication and thus the growth and development
of neoplasms, it may also diminish the risk of specific types of cancer.

People
who drink tea each day significantly reduce their chances of
atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, according to a study
published in the Archives of internal medicine. Tea polyphenols are
powerful antixidants that may play a role in lowering the oxidation of
LDL-cholesterol, with a consequent decreased risk of heart disease. The
polyphenols in tea have beneficial effect on two long established heart
disease risk factors- high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Those
who drank one or two cups a day lowered their risk of circulatory
disease by 46 percent. For those who drank four cups a day, the risk
dropped by 69 percent.

Tea is also known to have a positive
effect through its ability to modify the intestinal microflora in the
stomach and so reduce the undesirable bacteria and increase beneficial
bacteria in the stomach. Components from black and green tea extracts
can after the expression of genes known to play a role in the process of
cancer formation and may therefore have significant cancer prevention
properties in pancreatic and prostate cancer.

Oolong tea extract
is thought to enchance noradrenaline induced lipolysis in adipose tissue
and inhibit pancreatic lipase activity, therefore suggesting an
anti-obesity action of tea consumption. Tea has also been proven to
express a cardiovascular protective and lipid-lowering effect.

While
Japanese research has found that three cups of Oolong tea daily can be
beneficial in stubborn eczema, women seem to benefit more by drinking
tea. Some findings show that drinking certain types of tea containing
high concentrations of a particulr amino acid may help strenghen the
body's immune system responce when fighting off infection. And adding
milk, honey, lemon or suger do not diminish the positive health effects,
experts say.

Detoxify For Health-India Health & Life style magazine

A popular health kick, detoxing is useful as an internal spring clean that keeps you in the prime of health, helping you slim down and effectively boosting energy levels for perking up a tired skin and exhausted minds. End result, you enjoy life to the fullest.
It is important that you base your detox regime on a short-term diet plan that does not starve the body of essential nutrients. The emphasis should be on foods that are known for their cleansing properties i.e. largely plant, grain and vegetable-based. Plenty of filtered water, fruit and vegetable juices also play a major part in any detox cleansing routine. Go for organic foods, avoiding foods that include animal produce, contain additives, preservatives and colorants and pesticides.
While, you can detox with a healthy variety of wholesome foods and fluids, there are certain supplements, such as, various naturally cleansing and detoxifying products that also effectively help boost detoxing efforts.
Some latest brands targeting detoxers contain vitamins and herbs in the form of multivitamin tablets specially designed to complement internal cleansing routines. There are whole food concentrates in addition to a comprehensive mix of vitamins, minerals and amino acids that contain green foods, such as, organic grasses and sea algae containing chlorophyll, a natural pigment found in green, leafy vegetables. A powerful detoxifier, chlorophyll has been proven to help the body eliminate toxins.
The natural fibres like brown rice bran, oat bran and apple pectin also complement a cleansing programme by sustaining good digestion and helping eliminate intestinal toxins.
There is another product called Spirulina, a microscopic blue-green algae that apart from being highly nutritious, cleanses, as well. It helps detoxify by cleansing the digestive tract, keeps energy levels high and feeds the body with all its essential nutrients in a natural form that doesn’t overload the system.
One of nature’s richest sources of complete protein, Spirulina comes highly recommended by nutritionists for its absorbability. Containing the entire anti-oxidant spectrum, it is the only whole food that is known to be a source of phycocyanin, a powerful immune stimulant. Low in sodium and cholesterol, spirulina contains 18 of the known 22 amino acids, including all eight essential amino acids. It also contains vitamin E, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6, plus 14 minerals including iron, selenium, copper, manganese and zinc. All these vitamins and minerals bonded to the amino acids help the body assimilate them easily.
Take at least one teaspoon of spirulina needs every day or six tablets. If, you are taking it in powder form, it can be added to fruit juices or smoothies to make it taste better.
Detoxification should be a monthly routine for everyone, if they want to perk up and improve their mental and physical health!
