What is a Toxic Colon and How Can it Impact Your Health? | How To Cleanse Your Body – Whole Body Cleansing Info.

To understand what a toxic colon is, we need to understand the nature of the word “toxins.”  “By strict definition, a toxin is any substance that is damaging to living tissue” (The GREEN Body Cleanse, p. 27).  Toxins take many forms.  Some come from airborne pollutants emitted by refineries.  Others are harmful organisms that live within the digestive system.  Still others are synthetic ingredients used to manufacture processed foods, or pesticides used to maximize the profits of agribusiness produce cultivation.

Our philosophy is grounded in the awareness that the accumulation of toxins within the body, and in particular, the colon and the liver, is the root cause of degenerative disease and emotional disturbance.

A toxic colon results is particularly problematic for the human body.  We estimate the 90 percent of all harmful agents that attack the body are absorbed through the intestinal lining.  In order to effectively deal with the root cause of disease, it is necessary for us to eliminate this accumulated toxicity in the colon in order to maximize our personal health and wellness.

Dangers of Aluminum

Dangers of Aluminum.

If you don’t already know, aluminum poses a very serious danger to the human body, and in small amounts. Here’s a little background about aluminum.

Aluminum does not occur as a free metal but is found in minerals and ores. In its natural state it doesn’t pose a threat. It’s plentiful, (most abundant metal in the earth), and it is cheaply extracted for use in many things. It is resistant to corrosion and very light weight.

For these reasons, aluminum is used widely, in places you may not even thing to look for it. We wear it, cook in it, with it, eat and drink it and there is no use for aluminum in the human body. It is dangerous, toxic, to the human body and we continue to use it. Broad uses of aluminum in consumer products include:

Dangers of Strontium

Dangers of Strontium.

Strontium is indicated by ‘Sr’ and has an atomic number of 38 on the periodic table. It occurs naturally, but only in compounds with other elements like the minerals, strontianite and celestite. Alone it’s extremely reactive. In the air, strontium spontaneously combusts to strontium oxide and strontium nitride. In water, strontium decomposes to strontium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Strontium salts display crimson color of flames. This property makes it popular in pyrotechnics use and flare production.

Natural strontium is a mixture of four isotopes. One major use of strontium compounds is for the cathode ray tubes of color televisions, to prevent X-ray emissions. 90Sr is comparatively cheaper than 238Pu to produce since strontium is present in nuclear waste and it’s formed during the explosion of nuclear weapons.

Because it’s so reactive with air and water, when strontium is held, it’s usually contained under kerosene because that solution prevents oxidation.

Interactions with Strontium

Strontium is very popular in the medical field. The isotope 89Sr has been recognized to have the ability to help with bone degeneration due to prostate cancer. It’s actually introduced to bone at sites of osteogenesis since it behaves much like calcium, only it focuses radiation exposure on the cancerous lesion. Other uses for strontium include:

• Ceramic glazes, pyrotechnics and medicines
• Strontium dust can be breathed in, eaten or drunk

Dangers of Copper

Dangers of Copper.

Copper is a vital elemental nutrient that is necessary for good health. In fact, it can be found naturally in all plants and animals. The metallic form of copper can also be found in our environment as it occurs naturally there as well. As vital as it is for our bodies to have a certain amount of copper for optimum health, being exposed to too much copper can be detrimental to your health.

What is Copper?

Copper (atomic number: 29, element symbol: Cu) is a ductile metal that is found in nature. It is well recognized for its electrical conductivity and is used in many applications as an electrical conductor. It also features prominently in the building, construction and plumbing industries and is a prime component in numerous alloys.

Besides being one of the most popular metals used by sculptors and other artists throughout the world, it was recently discovered that copper is a biocidal agent. Copper compounds are used for a variety of purposes like treating plants for mildew or as preservatives for leather, fabrics and wood. And of course, pennies made before 1982 were made primarily from copper whereas newer pennies are just coated with the metal.

How am I Exposed to Copper?

The most routine exposures to copper involve coming in contact with it through the air, drinking water and from foods. It can also enter the body through the skin. If your home has copper plumbing pipes, there is a chance that your drinking water may include a high level of copper.

Many lakes and streams are treated with copper to help prevent overgrowth of algae. If you live near a copper smelting plant, there is a good chance your soil has a large amount of copper in it.

Individuals who work in copper mines or in a plant where copper is processed into brass or bronze are also at a high risk for exposure to dangerous levels of copper.

Copper has also been found in 906 of the 1,647 National Priority Sites as determined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Dangers of Cobalt

Dangers of Cobalt.

Cobalt is an element that can be both beneficial to an individual’s health and detrimental to it. The difference is dictated by the amount of cobalt one is subjected to. At its lowest levels, cobalt can be found in the chemical makeup of vitamin B12, which is necessary for optimum health, but if the body comes in contact with a high level of cobalt, it could ultimately be harmful to the heart and lungs.

What is Cobalt?

Cobalt (atomic number: 27, element symbol: Co) is found naturally in a wide range of ores, but it is typically in the form of a compound and very rarely in its purest form. It is a very hard metal that features a lustrous, silver-grey surface. It is commonly used in the manufacture of wear-resistant superalloys and magnets, and some of its compounds can be found in varnishes, paints and inks where it works as a drying agent.

Cobalt is also commonly used in the medical field in the form of Cobalt-60. Cobalt-60 is a radioactive metal which features prominently in radiotherapy and for sterilizing medical equipment. It is also used to irradiate food and in the manufacturing of plastics.

How am I Exposed to Cobalt?

People are exposed to cobalt on a daily basis through the air we breathe, the foods we eat and the water we drink. However, these trace amounts are typically harmless for most. For the largest contingency of the population, the largest sources of exposure are from food and water.

Workers who work in the metalworking industries are sometimes at a higher risk for exposure to more dangerous levels of cobalt. These industries commonly cut, grind, smelt, refine and process ores that feature cobalt in their composition. Workers who manufacture cobalt alloys are also at risk, as are workers employed by nuclear facilities, nuclear waste storage sites and irradiation facilities.

As stated earlier, the general population doesn’t come into contact with dangerous levels of cobalt on a regular basis, but if someone is undergoing radiation therapy, then odds are they will be exposed to radioactive cobalt.

Dangers of Chromium Hexavalent

Dangers of Chromium Hexavalent.

Chromium hexavalent is a compound of the element chromium. It is found naturally in nature and it gained attention and infamous notoriety as being the substance found in the drinking water in the California town of Hinkley. It was Erin Brockovich who championed the cause to eradicate the substance from the town’s water supply.

What is Chromium Hexavalent?

Chromium hexavalent (element symbol: Cr(VI)) is a compound which contains chromium in an oxidation state of +6. It is commonly found in pigments used in photography, dyes, paints, inks, plastics and in pyrotechnics. It also features prominently in production of stainless steel, textiles, wood preservation and leather tanning. Recently, as the dangers of chromium hexavalent have come to surface, newer alternatives have been taking its place in a number of applications.

How am I Exposed to Chromium Hexavalent?

The most common method for being exposed to chromium hexavalent is through inhalation. This typically occurs in an occupational setting. Some of the occupations that carry with them a higher chance for chromium hexavalent exposure include those professions that use chromate-containing pigments, paints and chrome-plating baths. Metalworking workers are also at risk when cutting, grinding or welding metals like stainless steel, which contains high levels of chromium.

Dangers of Arsenic

Dangers of Arsenic.

Arsenic’s symbol is ‘As’ and the atomic number is 33 on the periodic table. This metalloid is extremely poisonous, and it has many allotropic forms including several metalloid black and gray forms and a non metallic yellow form. It is converted to gas with no liquid transitional state, (it is called sublimation).

Note: allotropic forms of an element are those substances in similar states, (all liquid or all solid), with similar atoms that are attached to each other differently. A clear example would be carbon, diamond and graphite.

There are three metalloid forms found free in nature that have different crystal structures, but more commonly they are found in arsenide and arsenate compounds. There are a few hundred such mineral species that are known.

Is Arsenic Still In Use?

We still use arsenic even though it’s extremely poisonous. It’s even listed as a Class 1 carcinogen. It has uses in farming and in carpentry.

• As recent as the 20th century, it was still used as insecticides for fruit trees. It reportedly causes brain damage sometimes, to those working with the sprayers.
• In the 19th century it was used as a coloring agent for confectionary foods.
• Currently there is a new, less toxic organ form of arsenic called monosodium methyl arsenate (MSMA). It’s an organic, less toxic form of arsenic and replaces lead arsenate in agriculture.
• Called by any of its names copper acetoarsenite is quite poisonous as the green pigment. Two of its names are “Emerald Green” and “Paris Green.”
• It’s used predominantly in wood preservatives. It can be found in drugs, fertilizers, contaminated groundwater, seafood such as mollusks, oysters and clams.

Health Effects of Heavy Metals and Radiation

Health Effects of Heavy Metals and Radiation.

Many of the products we use have heavy metals in them. Heavy metals are in the foods we eat, water we drink, and the air we breathe. We need very little of only a few heavy metals including zinc, copper, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium and strontium. These good heavy metals become toxic to us when the quantity is too high and it takes really very little to be too much. On top of that, we take in more than twenty heavy metals which are non-essential for our healthy functioning.

How do they get into the body? Heavy metals enter your body through drinking, eating, inhaling, and skin and eye contact. Once in the body they do damage on the cellular level by causing dangerous free radicals production. The damage that they do is on the cellular level, and can cause cancer and many other diseases.

Four of the heavy metals that we focus on cause damage to the intestinal tract. They are mercury, aluminum, lead and cadmium. While aluminum isn’t truly a heavy metal, it’s still an extremely poisonous substance that can accumulate in the body’s tissues. And, the number one most toxic heavy metal is arsenic.

Mercury Toxins

Mercury is present in organic and inorganic form and both are highly toxic and can seriously damage the colon. Inorganic mercury can be found in various products from thermometers to dental fillings to skin-tightening creams and much more.

Inorganic mercury is most commonly inhaled into the body. Contamination from the organic mercury is generally by eating it. Sometimes organic mercury is detectable in produce, livestock, processed grains and dairy products. Usually, though, it’s found in fish and other water animals. Below is a list of fish organized by their reported mercury concentration.

Two of the most significant foods that cleanse your lungs—orange peel and plantain leaf—are foods that many Americans are not used to eating.  Orange peel tastes very bitter, so most people use it for aromatherapy, if they use it for anything at all.  While many parts of Latin American and the Caribbean use plantain leaves as wraps for other food types, Americans are used to eating plantains themselves and are generally unaware that the leaves themselves contain amazing health benefits.

There are two ways to receive the benefits these non-standard foods can offer.  You can look for recipes that will make them palatable, so you won’t wince when you eat them.  You can also supplement your diet with a natural mixture that contains both foods in its list of main ingredients.   This is not an either or choice, because natural diet and supplementation go hand-in-hand and offer maximum health benefits when consciously pursued together.
