HEALTH IMPROVEMENT THROUGH  COLONIC HYDROTHERAPHY

The colon, or large Intestine. Is an Important part of the digestive system; some 5 feet In length and 2 1/2 Inches In diameter, situated at the end of the alimentary canal, it completes the digestive process and handles our food waste and much other body waste. It 3 normally populated by millions of friendly bacteria’s which assist In detoxifying waste, synthesize certain vitamins and help us guard against Infection. These same bacteria’s make up some 70% of the dry weight of our fecal waste.

The colon structure Is of smooth muscle and It is broadly divided Into 3 segments: the caecum and ascending colon Into which food waste enters In a fluid slate through the ileocaecal valve, the transverse colon where water, minerals and vitamins are reabsorbed and the descending colon where mucus Is secreted to coat the faeces prior - to defecation through the rectum and anus.

In health, the bowel transit time from eating to defecation is 24 hours or, less and bowel movement Is at least once a daily. In disease poor digestion, yeast overgrown spastic colon, Irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation and diarrhea are usuatly accompanied by auto-intoxication, literaIly 'self-poisoning' - the reabsorption of soluble wastes Into the bloodstream- which places a heavy burden upon the other eliminative organs of the body, the kidneys, the skin and the lungs.

Chronic constipation can lead to further direct complications: divertticufitis, hemorrhoids, fissures, atonicity, spasticity, prolapsus, colitis and even bowel cancer, as well as chronic toxic conditions In the rest of the body, like the skin (e.g. acne and eczema), the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver.

Correct function of the colon la a necessity for health, for truly "disease can begin in the colon". It has been said that colon malfunction cen lead to 80% of all diseased stales. The Normal colon image is here.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

Signs of intoxication (chronic fatigue, pale complexion, bad breath, bad body odour, strong smell of urine or feces, etc.).
Life habits conducive of intoxication (tabagism, alcoholism toxicomania, overfeeding, etc.).
Chronic and degenerative diseases (arthritis, gout, diabetes, hypertension, dermatitis, etc.).
Affections of kidneys and bladder (abnormal urinary density and volume, pain in bladder region, burning sensation at miction, etc.).
Blood abnormalities (uremia, anemia, etc.).
Inflammation and congestion of lymphatic system (adenitis).
Intestinal intoxication (constipation, colitis, gastritis, etc.).
External usage (used for irrigation or compresses as in cases of sinusitis, vaginitis, ulcer, gingivitis, burn, etc.).

The action of chlorophyll is not well understood yet, but its therapeutic efficiency has been abundantly demonstrated empirically. The magnesium in its molecular structure is no doubt a factor in its exceptional power of deintoxication et cell proliferation. Moreover, chlorophyll is devoid of any toxicity. 

Tasty, convenient, and very effective. These are just afew of the words that have been used by people to describe Sunrider's Vitadophilus.

"Over the past few months, I have seen an outstanding resurgence of interest in this product. Vitadophilus sales are up. way up... And I believe it's much more than at temporary fad."
"Most of you know, that Vitadophilus is not a new Sunrider product. It has been a staple of many Sunrider's for years. However, there does seem to be an emerging trend of enthusiasm for this product, which I regard as validation of its effectivenes."

Let's begin our review of this product by examining the contents. The list of ingredients are as follow: Apple Powder, Apple Flake, and Lacto-bacillus Acidophilus.

It's rather obvious what makes Sunrider's Vitadophilus so pleasing to the palate. Dr. Chen used apples to enhance this product's effective-ness and overall taste. The universal appeal of the apple has been attested to by millions of people through houtthe world. (I should know, I lived on an apple orchard for many years).Of course, there are many other benefits associated with the apple, but today I want to focus my attention on the ingredient: Lactobacillus Acidophilus. The pronunciation is a mouthful, but the benefit should have you smiling.

HISTORY

In 1908 the Nobel Prize was awarded to, llya Metchnikoff. He was a world renowned Russian bacteriologist and director of the Louis Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, from1889 until his death in 1916.In the same year that llya received the Nobel Prize he wrote an important paper entitled, The nature of Man. In which llya proposed that mammale in general had rather short life spans as- compared to birds and replies. His argument was that mammals store fecal material in their large intestine, or colon. Old age, senility, and natural death he felt, could be attributed to auto-intoxification produced by a putrefactive colon microflora. llya Metchnikoff concluded in his writings, that in order to increase one's life expectancy, it was necessary to replace the putrefactive microflora with a healthy flora of lactic acid bacteria, particularly the lactobacilli. He cited examples of long in persons consuming milk fermented by lactobacilli. Since that time there has been an interest in lactobacilli.

The importance of consuming a dietary supplement of lactobacilli to maintain a balanced intestinal microflora has focused attention on Lactobacillus Acidophilus. Numerous published studies by noted re-search scientists, Gilliand, Draser and M.J. Hill, have shown that certain strains of this bacteria will become established person's intestinal consumption.

These researchers believe that there seems to be little doubt that a dietary supplement of intestmal lactobacilli has beneficial effects. "Current opinions seem to favor the idea that a dietary supplement of lacto-bacilli acidophilus could help ensure a proper and healthy balance of flora. In their studies, perhaps most important, is that the strains of lactobacilli consumed be able to survive the passage through the stomach so that it may colonize in the intestinal tract.

The research also suggests that the ideal situation would be to have these bacteria suspended or contained in food, which would offer the organism some protection in the stomach from digestive acids and provide the ideal nutrients in the intestine, thereby ensuring colonization. Sunrider's Vitadophilus is unique, in that each package contains approximately 1.5 billion lactobacillus acidophilus micro-organisms suspended in a delicious apple base. Thereby, fulfilling the ideal requirements for implanting healthy flora.
