The average Canadian diet is comprised of foods which move slowly through the digestive system including; refined grains (bread and pasta), meat, and dairy. These types of food are often mucoid forming; making matter within the colon sticky. The combination of mucoid forming foods and decreased transit time cause this material to stay in the colon longer than it should. The end result is an excess of hard, dried fecal matter in the colon that is difficult to remove. The majority of Canadians are holding more fecal matter in the colon and bowel than is considered healthy (there have even been documented cases of people with up to 25 pounds of hardened matter in their colons). When this matter is not removed from the colon, an overgrowth of bad bacteria and toxins accumulate. This leads to poor bowel health. Over time, conditions caused by a poorly functioning bowel can lead to more serious health problems: Constipation leads to: -increased risk of colon cancer (Watanabe et al, 2004) -pressure in the bowels which can stimulates the growth of cancer cells (Walsh et al, 2004). -hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse or anal fissures (National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, 08/23/05) -lowering your quality of life (Dennison et al, 2005) `Leaky` Bowel / Gut syndrome leads to: -translocation of bacteria/endotoxins, which may lead to Chronic Heart failure (Krack et al, 2005). Low volume feces (caused by lack of fibre) leads to: -Diverticulosis (Imdahl et al, 2003) How does it work? Organic Bowel Cleanse works to cleanse the colon by three processes: 1. Organic Bowel Cleanse provides fibre, which helps to cleanse the bowel/colon. There are two main types of fibre; soluble fibre and insoluble fibre. -Insoluble fibre has a cleansing effect (like a scrub brush) removing toxins and old hardened material from the intestinal wall by scraping them off as it passes by. It also works to tone the bowel. -Soluble fibre works by absorbing toxins (similar to a sponge), soaking up toxins as it passes. Both of these fibre types are required to effectively cleanse the colon. Organic Bowel Cleanse contains a combination of flaxseed, oat bran, and acacia gum which provide a blend of soluble and insoluble fibre similar to what is found naturally in food. NOTE: This is different from most colon cleanses which are psyllium based. Psyllium is 97% soluble fibre, (which can be highly constipating for some people). Also, as it has little insoluble fibre, it is unable to remove hardened material effectively from the colon walls. 2. Organic Bowel Cleanse works to stimulate peristalsis in the colon. Peristalsis is the colon`s natural muscular movement, which moves material out of the colon. This is extremely important in colon cleansing. Organic Bowel Cleanse includes the peristalsis herb rhubarb. Rhubarb is better than laxative herbs such as cascara sagrada or senna which are purgative herbs. These purgative herbs can be addictive over time. Further, they tend to remove food that is currently being ingested, versus removing hardened matter. 3. Organic Bowel Cleanse works to soothe and reduce inflammation of the colon/bowel. If you have had material in your colon for a long period of time, chances are it has destroyed the intestinal lining to some degree. Therefore, soothing the area and reducing inflammation of the intestinal lining is important. How do I take it? Capsules: Take 5 capsules with 250ml (1 cup) of water in the evening. Drink plenty of water throughout the day while using this product. Organic Bowel Cleanse can be performed a few times throughout the year. What can I expect? An increase in the number of bowel movements and in the volume of stool. You may also experience a reduction in gas and bloating. Internally, you will have a reduction in the level of toxins in the bowel / colon. Support Products: In some people, poor bowel function is a result of dehydration of the colon. If you are not having regular bowel movements, you may need to supplement with a product that works to hydrate the colon. This will enhance the effectiveness of Organic Bowel Cleanse. CleanseMORE can be taken with Organic Bowel Cleanse. It works by ensuring that the colon is properly hydrated, while at the same time stimulating peristalsis. It does not contain any purgative herbs such as cascara sagrada or senna. CleanseMORE can be taken as needed to help with proper elimination. What does it contain?
