The practice of natural colon cleansing dates back to ancient Greece. One of the main theories behind colon cleansing is an ancient belief called the theory of autointoxication. This is the belief that undigested meat and other foods cause mucus buildup in the colon. This buildup produces toxins, the theory goes, which enter the blood’s circulation, poisoning the body.
The main goal is to clear the colon of large quantities of stagnant, supposedly toxic waste encrusted on colon walls. The other goals include:
- Improving mental outlook
- Improving the immune system
- Losing weight
- Reducing the risk of colon cancer
Colon cleansing has been studied in relation to a few health concerns. These include:
- Fecal incontinence or bowel leakage
- Ostomy (surgical connection between an intestine and the outside of the body) care
- Spasm during colonoscopy
- Drug withdrawal
- Before and during bowel surgeries
VitaMed’s Super Colon Cleans is a natural blend of Fiber, Thermogenic, and Herbal cleanse.
