How to Keep a Colon Completely Cleansed
The colon is a large part of the body's immune system. Putrefaction due to poor dietary habits produces alcohol and other toxins that are absorbed into the bloodstream, putting stress on organs and lowering disease resistance. Other factors include environmental pollution and stress-filled lifestyles that hamper digestion. According to Dr. Norman Walker, author of "Colon Health: The Key to Vibrant Life!" colon cleansing is an important part of health maintenance.

Cleanse the Colon Regularly and Change Harmful Habits

1
Get annual colonic irrigation in three sessions, two weeks apart. Colonics fill the colon with water and wash it out. The cost of colonic irrigation varies from $50 to $100 per session.
-
2
Take weekly enemas. Fill the enema container with warm water, flush air out of the tubing and insert the lubricated tip into the rectum. Hang the bag or bucket at least 2 feet higher than the bed, and lie on the left side. Fill the bowel with as much water as possible, and hold it in for 10 minutes before going to the toilet.

Add fiber to your diet, along with lots of water. Psyllium husks are the fibers of psyllium seeds. They provide bulk and act as an internal broom for cleansing the colon. Follow label instructions.
-
4
Fast several times a year to eliminate waste that accumulates in the bowel. A three-day juice fast is safe and effective. Use fresh organic juices. If you get very hungry, add clear soups.

5
Eat a healthy diet to maintain a clean colon. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables provide nutrients and fiber without toxins. Soak raw nuts and seeds to make them more digestible. If you eat other types of food, learn the basics of proper food-combining to avoid fermentation in the bowel.
-
6
Drink eight to 10 glasses of fresh clean water daily. Distilled water is recommended, but beware of invisible toxins that may leach into the water from plastic bottles, particularly if they are stored at high temperatures. Store water in glass containers. Home water filters are a good investment.

Tips & Warnings
Choose a professional certified to operate a closed system for your colonic irrigation. A closed system flushes out waste with water through a disposable clear tubing, and no odors or fluids escape.
Always do an enema after your natural bowel movement. When done correctly, enemas tone sluggish muscle in the colon walls and improve elimination.
Follow any colon cleansing procedure with oral administration of a live culture probiotic formula to restore beneficial bowel organisms. Follow manufacturer's directions.
Whole sunflower seeds swallowed with water should appear in a bowel movement within 12 hours if your colon is functioning well.
The first foods you eat after a fast should be raw organic non-starchy fruits or vegetables. Other foods may be eaten only after a good bowel movement has come. You'll forego any benefit if you break your fast with starch or protein foods.
If you have an abdominal hernias or Crohn's disease, or have had recent bowel surgeries, you should not undergo colonic irrigation.
In case of fever or abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not fast if you have diabetes.
Do not undergo long fasts without consulting a healthcare professional.
Fasting only on water is more intense and should be supervised by a healthcare professional.
