Do I need Internal Cleansing?

Before I explain the cleansing effects of magnesium oxide, I would like to show the type of symptoms which may be related to conditions of toxicity.  Basically most people in western society will benefit from periodic cleansing.  But the following checklist will help determine if you are suffering from a toxic build-up in your body.

Do you suffer?

Constipation, diarrhoea, sluggish elimination Irregular/irritable bowel movements Feeling of incomplete elimination Bad breath and foul smelling stools Poorly formed, hard, small, or ribbon shaped stools Skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, acne Frequent mucous, colds, viruses Menstrual disorders, thrush Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Back pain

Of course, the previous symptoms could have many causes and medical diagnosis should always be looked into. However, most cases will not be the result of serious medical disease, but will be symptomatic of a toxic bowel condition. 

According to Dr Bernard Jensen, the famous American Naturopath...

...after working with over 350,000 patients over a 50 year span, not one of them was free from some form of bowel disorder. He concluded that all sick people have bowel problems and all sick people are tired and toxin laden.

Dr Jensen likens the eliminative system to a sewer system. Simply put, if the sewer systems gets blocked, the body remains soaking in its own putrid, toxic waste which fosters a condition which is conducive to disease development.

Medical autopsies have revealed impactions and blockages to such a degree that parts of the bowel which have a diameter of up to 20cm, only allow waste to pass through an opening of 1cm. It is not surprising that the incidence of bowel disease and bowel cancer is on the increase.

What about Candida Albicans?

Before I explain Candida Albicans, technically known as gastrointestinal candidiasis, is a yeast overgrowth and is caused by an imbalance in the intestinal flora. In other words, there is insufficient good bacteria in the gut, and this deficiency allows the unhealthy yeast to proliferate.

Conventional treatment of this gut flora imbalance includes strict dietary regimes and reinnoculation programs of the healthy bacteria in an attempt to regain a dominance of healthy flora to keep the Candida under control. Anti-fungal drugs may provide temporary relief, but may be problematic as the yeast attempts to migrate away from the drug and may become more deep seated.

Unsuccessful treatment of this intestinal overgrowth problem may be the fact that the breeding ground for the yeast may have been overlooked. In other words, toxic accumulation and bowel pockets may be the source of the Candida and without a comprehensive cleansing program, symptomatic relief will be short lived.

A proper application of magnesium oxide will liquefy, cleanse, and eliminate the breeding ground for the Candida Albicans. Only after thorough cleansing is a recolonisation of the beneficial bacteria (acidophilus, bifidus, etc) recommended.

What are yeast?

Yeast are single cell fungi which belong to the vegetable kingdom. And like their cousins the moulds, they live all around you. And one family of yeast, Candida Albicans, normally lives in your body and more especially in your intestines and other parts of your digestive tract.

The problem with the liver cleansing diet

The liver cleansing diet has received a lot of press lately, and there is much merit in such a program. However, the notion of cleansing the liver is a bit of a misnomer since the liver is not a hollow organ and therefore has a small capacity to store toxins.

It can be more accurately expressed that the liver is more of a metabolic factory which has hundreds of different functions including breaking down and metabolising toxins. If the liver can be described as the factory, then the true warehouse of toxins of the body are the bowels. The bowels are hollow organs and with their convoluted surface, the actual internal surface area is around half the size of a tennis court. Truly a large area to store toxins. Even adhering to a liver cleansing program will only deliver limited detoxification if the bowels are ignored. It has been my experience, that any cleansing program should not neglect the health of the intestinal tract.
