It is the intestinal system that has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place. The foundation of my nutritional practice has been built upon the above quotation. Many of the greatest healers of our time firmly believe that internal cleansing and detoxification of the human body is the key to youth, vitality, energy and vibrant health. After treating over 300,000 patients and publishing over thirty books on natural health, Dr. Jensen is consistent in his belief that no effective healing can take place in the body without cleansing the intestinal and eliminative systems. Dr. Norman Walker, Ph.D. believes that internal cleansing, with emphasis on proper colon care, is the only true path to optimum health.
Internal detoxification is an ongoing process that our bodies perform on a daily basis.
In much the same way that our hearts beat nonstop and our lungs breathe continuously, our metabolic processes continuously encounter and dispose of a variety of toxins and poisons. Some are cellular waste materials of our own making, toxic by-products of metabolism. Others consist of environmental pollutants, pesticides and poisons ingested into our system through the air we breathe, the foods we eat, and the water we drink. But in modern day society there are no ideal circumstances. This will expedite and facilitate elimination of accumulated toxins.
