Benefits of Fiber

Benefits of Fiber

Constipated?

If you're experiencing gas, fatigue, bloating, backache, body odor, bad breath, headaches, depression, indigestion, nausea, hemorrhoids, negative effects of being overweight, bad skin, tension and irritability, then a good fiber cleansing herbal product may help you.*

A Clogged Colon

A clogged colon interferes with the absorption and digestion of food, depriving the body of necessary nutrients. This results in fermentation and putrefaction (decaying / rotting) of undigested food which creates poisons. These poisons are re-absorbed into the bloodstream affecting every organ and part of the body. We age prematurely, we look and feel old, our joints become stiff and painful, our eyes become dull and a sluggish brain overtakes us – the pleasure of living is gone!*

Cleansing

A health program cannot be fully effective until the body is cleansed of excess toxic material, which is often built up, layer upon layer, over a period of many years. Diets consisting of fast food, low fiber, white flour, highly refined and processed foods, excessive sugar, preservatives and artificial coloring are all suspected contributors.*

Cornerstone of Health

Fiber, one of cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle, has been shown to help maintain normal, healthy intestinal regularity and also help maintain normal healthy levels of cholesterol, blood glucose levels after meals and a normal healthy cardiovascular system.*

Benefits of Fiber

Fiber not only promotes health, it also helps reduce the risk for some chronic diseases. For instance, fiber prevents constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. Fiber is also linked to prevention of some cancers, especially colon and breast cancer. In addition, fiber may help lower the LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and total cholesterol thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, fiber can help lower blood sugar to help better manage diabetes.*

Good Fiber Sources

Food:

  • Split Peas
  • Lentils
  • Black Beans
  • Artichoke
  • Broccoli
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Raspberries
  • Avocado
  • Pears
  • Pearled Barley

Fiber Supplements

Remember…cancer of the colon ranks next to heart disease as the most frequent cause of death in the United States today. So keep your colon in excellent condition by regular cleansing and experience the gentle relief and wonderful health thousands experience with all natural fiber cleansing formulas.*

Once you begin cleansing with fiber and rid your colon of this old fecal matter, you will no longer have that daily discomfort, instead you will feel fantastic!!!*

Get Your Day Started with Green Tea

Get Your Day Started with Green Tea

Everyone has their rituals with getting going in the morning - hit snooze a few times, shower, cook some breakfast and throw on some work clothes. Well, one beneficial thing to add in to your ritual is green tea!

Two things to note about drinking green tea:

  1. Make sure to get "de-caffeinated" green tea. Very important. Caffeine does more harm to the body than the benefits it may provide.
  2. Tea can be dehydrating. Everyone might think, "Oh, there's water in my tea, so I'm drinking my daily amount of water intake. I'm all good." But that's not the case. Tea will actually combat hydration and make your body more dehydrated with every cup you drink. But there's an easy solution to this - for every cup of tea you drink, drink an additional cup of pure water. That way you'll be ensuring your body gets the best benefits from the green tea and making sure your body's getting all the water it needs to perform all it's other functions properly, which is important! You're made up of nearly 70-80% water!! That's a lot!

Enjoy this gift from nature and energize your day.

23 Benefits of Probiotics & Why You Need Them

23 Benefits of Probiotics & Why You Need Them

What are Probiotics?

The term probiotic is derived from the Greek, "For Life," and is used to describe growth-promoting factors produced by microorganisms. These friendly bacteria begin colonizing in a matter of hours or days after our birth. The average human digestive system may contain more than one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of bacteria and various strains of probiotics. Therefore, one's intestinal microflora (bacteria and microscopic algae and fungi) can be considered as a postnatal-acquired organ composed of a large diversity of bacterial cells that can perform different functions for the host.*

These organisms are influenced and modulated in their composition and function by exposure to environmental factors such as nutrition and lifestyle. Specific components of our intestinal microflora, including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, have been associated with beneficial effects, such as the promotion of gut maturation and integrity, opposition against pathogens, and immune modulation.*

Parasites - Ugh!

Parasites - Ugh!

You're tired, nauseous, and your stomach has declared war on your bowels. Something is definitely wrong, yet you can't seem to put your finger on it. Even though you're eating right, the problem refuses to go away.

As incredible as it may seem, perhaps the problem is that millions of parasites have decided to take up residence in your body. They're sharing your food, partying in your intestines and releasing their waste into your bloodstream. UGH!*

Statistics

3 out of every 4 people have some kind of parasite or worm. We commonly get them if we eat raw foods like unwashed fruit / vegetables or sushi (raw fish), if we're around pets or kids that typically bring them in from playing outside, etc. Parasites live mostly in a toxic bowel, but can exist in almost every part of the body. Cleansing the entire body, especially the bowels and blood, is a very important part of getting rid of parasites and worms.*

Parasites also produce a great deal of ammonia as their waste product. Ammonia is their equivalent of urine and it gets set free in our bodies by parasites, in large amounts. Ammonia is extremely toxic, especially to the brain.*

 On-Going Parasite Prevention*

  • Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water
  • Cook all meats to the prescribed temperature
  • Stop eating or cut down the amount of raw, uncooked meat or fish in your diet
  • Drink bottled water at home and when traveling, or, at home, install a proper water purification system
  • Keep pets properly treated on a regular basis with worm medications
  • Keep yourself on a good detoxification program as suggested by your health care practitioner
  • Continue to eat "cleansing foods," meaning those that will help you avoid constipation and keep your bowels moving so that any parasites that are killed can exit the body via a natural way. Dr. Bo Colon Magic can aid you in this department if you are having difficulty
  • Be sure you're having a few bowel movements each day by eating foods with fiber

Importance of Intestinal Cleansing to Purge Parasites

It's important before you try to get rid of parasites to make sure that they have a way to get out of the body. The most logical and easy way would be through the colon. If you are constipated and you try to cleanse, this could be painful and toxic.*

It is also essential to deep cleanse the colon while killing off the parasites and worms. Para Flush helps assist you in this process, but it is also highly recommended to do colonic irrigation sessions (colonics) or at least enemas ideally once a week while doing a parasite cleanse.*

Our Parasite Program - Ultra Complete is a thorough, but easily do-able program that will effectively kill parasites, worms, and flukes in all of their stages and neutralize the ammonia they release.

What to Expect When Cleansing

When doing any type of cleanse, there are common experiences that can occur. You can feel sick, get headaches, feel nauseous, experience tiredness, and more. When cleansing parasites, you can feel any of these things, but also you may find that your skin might breakout in a rash, pimples, redness, or something else. This is a sign that parasites are mainly residing in that area of your body. These reactions are nothing to be scared of. They're actually a good sign, because it's showing that the cleanse is working, and you want to get these parasites, poisons, and toxins out of your body. Just know that the only way OUT of the cleanse, is THROUGH the cleanse. And you'll be that much cleaner because of doing it.*
