Who Else Wants To Stay Gorgeous, Fit And Ageless?

You may have or heard of conversations such as "... your body systems slow down as age catches up". Is this true?

Yes, because everything has an expiry date or a shelf life. Your body is no exception. It will deteriorate quickly and even stop functioning ... when you do not love and take care of it by taking nutritious food, fresh air, clean water and thoughts, sufficient rest and exercise it needs.

Do you know that your body can live over 100 years? Examples were Abraham, his wife Sarah and Moses in biblical history who lived more than 200 years. In current time are the Hunzas , the natives of America, and several centenarians from around the globe - example is the recent news report on Edna Parker in Indiana, USA who is 115 years old.

Living above 100 years old seems challenging these days when pollution is rampant. But it is still possible.

You can stay gorgeous, fit and ageless .... if you want to. First, you must alter your view of life, adjust your lifestyle and eat sufficient nutrients according to your needs. But can your body absorb and use these nutrients? Check your digestive system. A weak or dysfunctional digestive system gives a sluggish bowel. This is where your problems begin!

Studies and clinical research by physicians (including Dr Norman Walker, Dr Bernard Jensen) have proved that death begins at the colon, and colon cleansing is the key to a vibrant life.

Colon cleansing is a deep tissue cleansing process that reaches and cleanses every cell. Colon cleansing is the effective way of cleaning your whole body.

The whole objective of colon cleansing is to wash out stagnated, hardened toxic wastes in the intestines which prevent absorption of nutrients. These wastes breed worms, harmful bacteria/virus in the colon. They get reabsorbed in the body by the bloodstream. Wastes in the blood contaminate the whole body resulting a gradual breakdown of your immune system leading to chronic diseases.

Cleaning out the colon enable your body to absorb nutrients consumed. When cells/tissues are nourished, old cells/tissues regenerate and replace new ones. Once your body is functioning and eliminating wastes properly and on time, the benefits you get out of colon cleansing are:

1) Clear smooth skin:

When the body is cleansed and nourished by nutrients, the eliminative organs (skin, kidneys, lungs, bowel & lymph) begin to function well. All skin problems start clearing up, wrinkles subside, old skin replaces new skin.

2) Loss of excess weight:

Fats build up due to toxic wastes in the body. When these are effectively removed, your body gets nourished by the nutrients consumed. Once your body functions normally, excess fats and water are eliminated automatically. This gives you your natural body weight. With correct exercises, you can strengthen and tone up to a physique of your choice.

3) Longevity:

In the absence of wastes, your body gets nourished with correct food intake. As long as cells can repair and replace on time, there is no aging or death. According to Dr Alexis Carrell's research, 'the cell is immortal'. As long as they are fed with right nutrients, the pulsation of life may go on forever.

4) Disease free:

Death begins in your colon. The condition of your colon tells the condition of your health. Colon cleansing cleanses the whole body. When your digestive system is able to digest, assimilate, absorb and metabolize nutrients and remove wastes on time, you can be vibrant and energetic. Should you fall sick, you recover quickly.

What is a Colonoscopy?

A procedure most often used to look for early signs of cancer in the colon and rectum is called the "colonoscopy." It is used to look for causes of unexplained changes in bowel habits and/or to evaluate symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and weight loss.

What is the preparation for a colonoscopy?

You will need to follow a liquid diet for 1 to 3 days before the procedure
You will most likely be asked to take a laxative the night before the procedure and in some cases you might be asked to give yourself an enema

The liquid diet should be clear and not contain food colorings. It may include:

Fat-free bouillon or broth
Strained fruit juice
Water
Plain coffee
Plain tea
Diet soda
Gelatin

You will need to inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have or medications you take routinely such as:

Aspirin
Arthritis medications
Blood thinners
Diabetes medication
Vitamins that contain iron

Also inform the medical staff of any medical condition that may need special attention such as:

Heart disease
Lung disease
Or any medical condition that needs special attention

You won't be allowed to drive yourself home after being sedated.

What happens during the procedure?

You will lie on your left side on the examining table
You will be given pain medication and a moderate sedative to keep you comfortable and help you relax during the exam
The doctor and a nurse will monitor vital signs, look for signs of discomfort and make adjustments as needed
The doctor will insert a long, flexible, lighted tube into your rectum and slowly guide it into your colon
You may be asked to change positions at times
Most patients do not remember the procedure afterwards
The doctor can remove most abnormal growths in the colon such as a polyp, which are most usually not cancerous, but could turn to cancer
Removed polyps are sent to a lab for testing
By identifying and removing polyps, a colonoscopy likely prevents most cancers from forming
The doctor can also remove tissue samples to test in the lab for diseases of the colon (biopsy)
You may feel mild cramping during the procedure. Take several slow, deep breaths to alleviate this.

Are there any complications that can occur during a colonoscopy?

Bleeding and puncture of the colon are possible, but uncommon How long does the procedure take?
30 to 60 minutes Side effects after a colonoscopy you should report to your doctor immediately include:
Bloody bowel movements
Dizziness
Weakness

Additional instructions include:

Read your discharge instructions carefully
Medications like blood-thinners may need to be stopped for a short time, especially if a biopsy was performed or polyps removed

When can you expect to recover from a colonoscopy?

Full recovery is expected by the next day

When can you return to normal activities?

The day after a colonoscopy
