Colonic Irrigation and Colon Cleansing: 

A first step towards total health

 

 

Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., a nutritionist and author of the book entitled, Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management, writes the following regarding the importance of maintaining optimal health, through the care of one's lower bowel (colon)...

"Laxatives tire out the bowel muscle by keeping it consistently working. Without rest, it will soon fail. Even used sparingly and in an emergency, these substances should be used with great caution, if at all. They are essentially poisons and irritants. They contribute nothing to the normal, or natural processes of the bowels, and they only remove the new waste matter."

Dr. Jensen continues, "When we clean out the bowel and release all of this old, rotting material, there will be a lessening of gas, pain and autointoxication taking place."

 Autointoxication is literally a process of self-poisoning. 

Dr. Jensen believes, "...that this toxic material, decaying away in the sigmoid colon, is a good place for degenerative diseases to get started."

The colon may be one of the most abused organs in the human body.

Millions of Americans now suffer from digestive disorders and elimination problems, which allow metabolic waste material to remain trapped in their colon for months — sometimes even years. This putrefying fecal waste, is not just harmful, but it can lead to autointoxication, and the inability to absorb vital minerals and nutrients.

However, when you cleanse your colon with colonics, you give your body an opportunity to cleanse all its systems. This body cleansing process can be facilitated by:

  • Improving your diet and attention to proper food combining.
  • Using an all natural colon cleansing product. 
  • Getting colonhydrotherapy treatments from a professional colon hydrotherapist.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of the Kellogg's Corn Flakes cereal company, and a practicing surgeon, believed that an improperly functioning bowel could be the root cause of many health problems. His bran cereal was created to provide fiber to help promote a well functioning colon.

After having performed over 20,000 colon surgeries, Dr. Kellogg observed that he had, "...never seen a normal healthy American colon. Common sense tells us that if we retain the contents of our colon the result will be disfigurement and disease of the colon. Since newly formed cancer cells escape destruction by the immune system due to the effects of autointoxication, we are literally poisoning ourselves into illness when the bowel evacuation is deficient."

Dr. Norman Walker, author of the book Colon Health, notes the word, "...Constipation, is derived from the Latin word constipatus  which being translated means, "to press or crowd together, to pack, to cram."

Surely common sense suggests that cleansing ones colon can have substantial health benefits, and is both practical and reasonable, considering our diets are mostly comprised of devitalized, processed and refined foods.

As Dr. Walker points out, "The very best of diets, can be no better than the very worst, if the sewage system of the colon is clogged with a collection of waste and corruption."

De-mystifying Colon Hydrotherapy:

It is documented that about 50 years ago, every hospital room had a colonic or enema instrument.  Cleansing the colon is so effective in healing the body that is was the first measure that a doctor would take in helping someone heal.

Centuries ago, before modern science, technology, and mainstream medicine, people understood the need for the kind of deep colon cleansing that went far and beyond daily bowel movements.

Our ancestors, in fact, administered enemas using hollowed out reeds and clear river water to flush out the rectum. More recently, our great-grandparents grew up during a time when enema use was part of a widely accepted wellness regimen.

Today, however, many giggle and squirm when they imagine colon hydrotherapy; after all, it involves a part of the human anatomy that most of us are embarrassed to talk about.

As a result, we are needlessly becoming diseased – some of us even dying prematurely – because we no longer understand how dependent wellness is on keeping our colons thoroughly cleansed.

If you want to feel great, it is imperative to understand the vital role colon hydrotherapy plays in fostering overall health and wellness," says Dr. Amy Denman, ND, CTN (Certified Traditional Naturopath), MH (Masters degree in Herbology), and Certified Colon Hydrotherapist

Colonic Critics:

The future of health in America will require that people are free to cleanse their bodies as they have been doing so for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.  Pay attention if suddenly the media grabs hold of a single case where a person "was killed or injured" from a colonic.  Realize that at this very moment somebody just took a pill in America and keeled over dead from an adverse reaction.  And about ten others just now suffered from a drug reaction that impaired their health, function and happiness.

The basic rule of thumb is that once the media takes the lead on a story expect sensationalism.  Maybe that will change.  I hope so!

 A dose of Healthy Discernment:  Consult your primary care provider before having a colonic. People with certain conditions, such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, severe hemorrhoids, blood vessel disease, congestive heart failure, heart disease, severe anemia, abdominal hernia, gastrointestinal cancer, recent colon surgery, and intestinal tumors should not have a colonic

Side effects of colonics may include nausea and fatigue after the session, which can last for several hours.  99 percent of the time side effects include "be"ing happier.

Can Colon Hydrotherapy become an addiction?

"Anything can become an addiction, including Colon Hydrotherapy.  Some people over-exercise to compensate for their excessive eating habits.  I call this "exercise bulimia".  The same holds true with Colon Hydrotherapy as a daily practice for periods of time.  When Colonic Irrigation is used frequently to offset the effects of poor eating, I call this "colonic bulimia

I believe Colon Hydrotherapy is the most powerful cleansing tool a person can utilize.  People suffering from colonic bulimia unnaturally stimulate their health to the next level.  They continually cleanse their colon, which purifies their bloodstream allowing the cells to release more and more endogenous poisons.  This results in the contraction of the cells, bringing them to new levels of health and sensitivity.  In cleaner states there is less margin for error, (inconsistencies in quality/quantity of food), and the body will demand an improved diet.  The problem is that individuals these individuals are not usually improving their diet.  Less-than-optimal eating habits produce excessive fermentative gas, which is exceedingly harmful to a cleaner body.  Thus, they develop an ongoing reliance on using Colon Hydrotherapy every day for relief from the discomfort they otherwise feel.  This abuse may catch up to them in the long run."  - Matt Monarch author of Raw Success

Colonic Irrigation using Colon Hydrotherapy:
The Key to Good Health and Vitality!

 

A healthy colon is the key to living a healthy life!

The colon (large intestine), is the end portion of the human digestive tract. The colon is approximately 5 to 5½ feet long and 2½ inches in diameter.

Its major functions are to conserve water in the body... and to eliminate waste from the body. There are "friendly" bacteria living in the healthy colon which synthesize valuable nutrients such as vitamins 'K' and portions of the 'B' complex. But unfortunately...

The average American does not have a healthy colon!

I'll bet you didn't know that the average person — one who is neither overweight, nor noticeably allergic to things — may have 10 to 25 pounds of dried fecal matter in their colon! But that's for someone who is at normal weight for their height and age.

If you're over weight or a highly allergic person...
You might be carrying around a lot more than that!

 The typical American diet, consisting of high-fat, low-fiber, refined junk foods... including flour, meat, fat, sugar, alcohol, preservatives and toxins, is the primary reason the colon becomes so unhealthy. The toxins generated from accumulated waste matter in the colon, are responsible for many body imbalances... which can lead to very serious over weight and health problems!

 Furthermore, the average American diet includes less than a fraction of the fiber foods necessary to promote elimination of toxins from the body. Poor diet, improper food-combining and lack of dietary fiber make maintenance of a healthy colon virtually impossible. As a consequence...

It is very common to find people with unhealthy and weakened digestive systems!

Virtually all weight challenges can be traced to imbalances in the colon/digestive system as either a primary contributor... or a secondary problem which accentuates slowdowns in other critical body systems, like the endocrine (glandular) system and the circulatory system.

Toxins present in the unhealthy colon can be transported into the circulatory system... And soon the body may be unable to properly metabolize food and fat, or to provide vital energy for living!

A classic sign of colon toxicity in women — and one of their most common complaints about their figures — is their potbelly. This condition may be very simple to correct by adopting an improved health regimen. A distended abdomen, may indicate a more serious problem and the presence of a fecal ball in the colon which gathers more and more coatings the longer it remains.

For many people, the signs of a colon dysfunction are so much a part of their daily experience that... They don't even suspect their health is in danger!

 

The colon depicted below is characteristic
to a person who consumes mixed-cooked foods,
including an average amount of meat and starches.

 

ABNORMAL COLON

 


 

Do you experience any of these health problems?


Constipation

Diarrhea

Frequent Severe Headaches

Backaches

Fatigue

Bad Breathe (Halitosis)

Foul Body Odor

Irritability

Chronic Skin Problems (Acne)

Frequent Mental Confusion

Abdominal Gas & Bloating

Lower Back Pain

Sciatic pain

Low Energy & Vitality

Low Resistance to Colds

Frequent Infections

 
These all can be indications you need to cleanse your body's elimination system.

Colonic Irrigation using Colon Hydrotherapy is an
excellent way to accomplish this objective!

Benefits which may be accomplished by Colon Hydrotherapy:

  • Cleansing
    Toxic material is broken down so it can no longer harm your body or inhibit assimilation and elimination. Fecal debris built up over a long period is gently removed over a series of irrigations. Once this impacted material is removed, your colon can again begin its normal elimination function. A colon hydrotherapy session may be considered a rejuvenation treatment for your body.
     
  • Exercises
    The build up of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its function. Gentle filling and emptying of the colon can improve peristaltic (natural muscular contraction) activity, which aids efficient removal of waste material.
     
  • Reshapes
    Over time, the natural shape of a problematic colon will become distorted, causing even more problems. The gentle water action and massage techniques of the therapist will help eliminate protruding pockets of waste and narrow, spastic constrictions. After a series of colon hydrotherapy treatments, the colon gradually begins to resume its natural shape.
       
  • Stimulation of Reflex Points  
    Every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. A colon hydrotherapy session stimulates these reflex points, thereby effecting the corresponding body parts... In a beneficial way similar to reflexology.

 


 

I don't have any health problems... Can colon hydrotherapy help me too?

Maybe colon hydrotherapy sounds good for some people... But not YOU! You eat a high-fiber diet, drink lots of water, exercise and eliminate with regularity.

Yes, even healthy people can benefit from a series of colonic irrigations... Waste deposits may remain trapped in your colon for weeks, months or even years, despite following a strict health regimen!

Consider this reported case... During a colon hydrotherapy session, a 54 year-old woman in Atlanta, Georgia discovered that her body had released a residue of barium. But she had only be given barium once in her life — when she was just 7 years old — 47 years earlier!

It had remained trapped in her colon all those years, until the colon hydrotherapy session released it...

A buildup of old, putrefied fecal waste can block proper
digestion, nutrient absorption, waste elimination and provides
an excellent breeding ground for germs and parasites . . .

Worldwide, it is estimated that 200 million people are infested by intestinal parasites.

Parasites are man's deadliest enemy... they kill more people annually than do cancers! Symptoms associated with parasite infestation can include restless sleeping, fatigue, poor assimilation and absorption of nutrients, food cravings (especially for sugars and breads), as well as an inability to feel satisfied after a large meal.

The best way to maintain a healthy colon and good digestion is to:

  • Eat a natural wholesome, high-fiber, low-fat diet.
     
  • Drink plenty of pure water daily.
     
  • Exercise on a regular basis and try to avoid stress.

But this may not be enough... If that's you, consider the benefits of using Colon Hydrotherapy!

The following depicts a healthy colon
and the reflex points corresponding to various
body organs and health conditions.

 What is the function of your Colon and what
does it do to keep you healthy?

by Cheryl Ashby, C.C.T.

To maintain good health, your body must effectively eliminate food and bodily waste!

Your colon — together with your lungs, skin and kidneys — are designed to accomplish this essential task by eliminating toxins in the intestines, blood and lymph systems.

The colon (large intestine, rectum, and anus) is the end portion of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract which extends from the mouth to the anus. It is a muscular tube approximately 5 to 5 ½ feet in length and has an average diameter of approximately 2 ½ inches.

The colon starts on the lower right side of the abdomen, where the small intestine empty the contents of digestion (chyme) into the first portion of the colon (cecum). The ascending colon goes up from the cecum to the level of the liver; it then bends sharply to the left and crosses the abdomen as the transverse colon.

At the level of the spleen the descending colon goes down the left side of the abdomen to the pelvis, where it becomes the sigmoid region. The sigmoid colon empties into the rectum, from which waste material is ultimately eliminated from your body.

The contents of digestion (chyme) are moved along by muscular movements called peristalsis ... which is initiated by the nerve supply to the colon.

The main functions of the colon are absorption of water and minerals, and the formation and elimination of feces... The colon contains nearly 60 varieties of microflora or bacteria to aid digestion, promote vital nutrient production, to maintain pH (acid-base) balance, and to prevent proliferation of harmful bacteria.

These bacteria provide important functions such as the synthesis of folic acid and valuable nutrients from foods, including vitamins 'K' and portions of the 'B' complex. Bacillus coli and acidophillus comprise the majority of healthy bacteria in the colon along with other disease producing bacteria in lesser numbers.

The process of digestion... from ingestion of food to defecation, normally takes between 12 to 24 hours assuming that the colon is fully functional and non-toxic. Irregular or infrequent bowel movements can allow toxic residues, from the by-products of undigested foods, to remain in the colon.

A person with a healthy colon will have 2 to 3 bowel movements per day, shortly after each meal taken. Elimination should be complete and easy. The stool should be light brown in color, long and large diameter. There should be no offensive odor and it should break apart with toilet flushing.

This describes the normal function of a healthy colon...

But in this society, it is very rare to find people who
can describe their eliminations in this manner!

If you or anyone you know are suffering any of the health problems mentioned above — including under or over weight challenges — you may be well advised to contact a colon hydrotherapist.

Stool Color

 What Your Stool Color Could Mean to You!

While most people don't examine their stool after having a bowel movement, it may be one of the most important things that you can do for your digestive health. The color of your stool can tell you all sorts of things about the health of your digestive system-ranging from what you ate the previous night to having dangerous bleeding in your colon.

Let's take a look at all the different colors starting with...

Black, Maroon and Tarry Stools

 Black, tarry and foul-smelling stools may be referred to as "Melena" by your doctor. The color may be because of blood in the stool. This could indicate an injury or disorder to your digestive tract. If the amount of blood is enough to actually change the appearance of your stool, your doctor may ask the exact color. This will determine the origin point of the blood. To make an accurate diagnosis, the doctor may perform an endoscopy or special x-ray. If the amount of blood is enough to actually change the appearance of your stool, your doctor may ask the exact color. This will determine the origin point of the blood. To make an accurate diagnosis the doctor may perform an endoscopy or special x-ray. Black bowel movements generally mean the blood is coming from the upper section of the GI Tract. That means the esophagus, stomach or first section of the small intestine. The tar-like consistency in the stool means the blood has been exposed to digestive juices. Stomach ulcers caused by ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin are also common causes of upper GI bleeding. Other causes may include:

 

  •  Esophageal variances (e.g. heavy consumption of alcohol for long periods)

    Mallory-Weiss tear (a tear in the esophagus from violent vomiting)

  • Bleeding stomach or duodenal ulcer
  • Gastritis 

  • Trauma or foreign body
  • Bowel ischemia (a lack of proper blood flow to the intestines)
  • Vascular malformation 

 

Certain foods and medicines can also contribute to a black or tarry-stool color. Black licorice, iron, lead, bismuth medicines (Pepto-Bismol) and blueberries can contribute to black stool color. Your doctor can test the stool for the presence of blood in this case. 
 

Red or Maroon-Colored Stool

 
Red or maroon-colored stools can also mean the presence of blood in your stools; in the medical field this condition is called hematochezi. The difference between this color and the black or tarry color is the location of the bleeding. A red or maroon colored stool usually indicates a fresher blood and therefore lower G.I. bleeding.

If you think you are experiencing blood in your stool, it is important to consult your physician. One of the first things your physician will do is to try and determine from where the bleeding is coming. This can usually be determined by taking a history on the patient and examining the shade of red of the blood. Maroon colored stool may  

 

Maroon colored stool may indicate bleeding from:

 

  • Diverticulitis

     

  • Vascular malformation

     

  • Intestinal infection

     

  • IBS

     

  • Tumor

     

  • Polyps

     

  • ColonCancer

     

  • Bleeding Ulcer

     

  • Gastritis

     

  • Esophageal variances (e.g. heavy consumption of alcohol for long periods)

     

  • A tear in the esophagus

     

 

Bright red-colored stool may indicate bleeding from:

 

  • Hemorrhoids

     

  • Anal fissures

     

  • All the causes of dark red/black stool

Not all red-colored stools are caused by bleeding as some foods can have the same effect. If you've recently consumed red-colored gelatin, popsicles, Kool-Aid, tomato juice, soup and/or beets, you may experience red stool.


Prevention and Treatment of Bloody Stools

 
Here are some do's and don'ts to help prevent the causes of all types of blood in your stool:

  Avoid excessive use of anti-inflammatory drugs for long periods of time. (e.g., aspirin, Ibuprofen) They irritate the stomach and cause ulcers.

  • Do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol. It irritates the lining of the stomach and esophagus.
  • Quit smoking. Peptic ulcers and cancer of the GI tract are linked to smoking.
  • Reduce stress. It's been linked to peptic-ulcer disease.
  • Consider Herbal Colon Cleansing or Colonic Irrigation.

     

Never Hesitate

Never hesitate to call your health care practitioner, if you find blood in your stool. A proper diagnosis needs to be made. Do this even if you think hemorrhoids or anal fissures are causing the blood.

 In children a small amount of blood in the stool usually is linked to constipation, milk and dairy allergies. However, it is still a reason to call your child's doctor, even if he or she does not recommend a full diagnosis at the time. The earlier colon cancer is detected, the greater the likelihood of successful treatment. The American Cancer Society recommends the following tests for adults over 50 for early and pre-cancer screening tests.

 

  • Fecal occult blood testing every year.

     

  • Flexible Sigmoidoscopy or barium enema every five years.

     

  • Colonoscopy every 10 years.

     

If you have a family history of colon cancer, screening should be started earlier and done more often. Be sure to discuss family history with your doctor.

 

Orange Stool


If your stool shows orange coloring, it can usually be attributed to foods or medications that you may be taking. Certain medications with beta-carotene (such as a form of vitamin A) can cause orange coloring of your stool. Antacids which contain aluminum hydroxide can also cause orange stool.

Foods that are high in beta-carotene can have the same orange effect on your stool. These include; carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro and fresh thyme. Lastly any foods that have yellow or orange artificial colorings can also cause orange-colored stool. If you can't attribute your

 Foods that are high in beta-carotene can have the same orange effect on your stool. These include; carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro and fresh thyme. Lastly any foods that have yellow or orange artificial colorings can also cause orange-colored stool. If you can't attribute your orange stool with anything you ingested, then it may be caused by a lack of exposure to bile salt. Stool starts out as green then turns a yellow/orange in color before being exposed to bile and bacteria which turns the stool brown.

 Low exposure to bile salt can be caused by a couple different factors. First, your transit time is so fast that your stool is being pushed through your digestive system too quickly. This quick movement of stool reduces the exposure to bile salt resulting in orange stool. Second, your liver may not be producing enough bile salt or you bile glands may be obstructed.

 

If you are experiencing orange-colored stool that can't be attributed to food or medications you are taking, then you should consult your physician.


Yellow Stool is rare

 
A pale or yellow-colored stool is rare and can be caused by a few different malfunctions of the digestive system.

 
The first is known as Gilbert's Syndrome, which mainly affects males in their teens. If you suffer from this syndrome, it means your liver doesn't process as many red blood cells. Broken down red bloods cells gives stool a lot of its color. When fewer cells are processed, the stool can appear a pale brown or yellow color. This is not a serious illness and doesn't harm the individual.

 
Another more serious illness is a parasite infection known as giardia. These are Protozoan parasites which invade the intestines, and the result is a severe yellow diarrhea. This type of parasitic infection is dangerous and contagious. You should notify your doctor immediately, if you think you are infected.

 
Lastly, if you suffer from malabsorption, your stool may appear to be yellow in color. When your body doesn't properly absorb fats from the food you eat, it passes through your colon into your stool. The excess fat can give the yellow coloring to your stool.

 Whenever your stool is yellow in color, consult physician for proper diagnosis.

Green Stool

 
Like an orange stool, a green stool can usually be attributed to something you have ingested.

 
The most obvious is green foods that you have eaten, such as green leafy vegetables, or foods with a lot of dark purple or green food coloring like Kool-Aid or gelatin. Lastly, it can also be caused by any vitamins you are taking that contain chlorophyll. These may not appear green, but the chlorophyll in them will turn stool a green color.

 
Food and medicine are not the only reasons for green stool; a fast transit time can cause a stool to turn green. If your stool is passing too rapidly through your large intestine, it does not allow bile to break it down. Before being broken down by bile stool is green; bile turns the stool brown. When stool passes too quickly, bile is not allowed to break it down and it will appear green. If this continues for long periods of time or is combined with diarrhea, consult your doctor. 
 

Clay Stool

 
A stool that appears clay in color is often seen in cases of malabsorption, hepatitis, or gallbladder disorders.

 
Hepatitis and gallbladder disorders often interrupt the flow of bile out of the liver. This disruption will cause the clay color of the stool. Malabsorption also disrupts the output of bile by increasing the amount of undigested fat in the stool.

 

 Bile is responsible for breaking down stool and making it brown in color. When the production is lowered the stool will appear clay in color. If this is experienced for a long period of time or is accompanied with a foul smell or greasy stools, a doctor should be consulted.

ABOUT THE LIBBE:

The LIBBE device (= ‘Lower Intestine Bottom Bowel Evacuation’) provides privacy, dignity and efficacy.

The basis for providing the client a relaxing, safe and comfortable colon treatment session.

The LIBBE device is therefore considered as ‘the Rolls Royce’ of Colon Hydrotherapy treatment devices.

Modern FDA Colon Hydrotherapy
equipment is used during your Colonic.

Registered FDA equipment features temperature and pressure controlled water, a built-in chemical sanitizing unit and with a water purification unit.

The unit is cleaned and sterilized after each treatment and every client has their own disposable rectal tube which is only used once to prevent contamination.

You will be shown how to gently and easily insert the rectal tube yourself and then be left in privacy to do so, the sterile tube comes individually packed for single use.

The equipment that we use, allows you to have your colonic in privacy while regulated by the therapist.

Gravity Fed or Pressure Controlled

What is an open system?

In an open system, the cleanse is relaxing, safe, comfortable, and private, allowing client and/or therapist to be in control.

On an open system, the rectal tube is the size of a pencil, (we jokingly say a No. 2 pencil).

Once the flow is turned on, there is no need to interrupt the cleanse to release.

You will fill up with water and when you need to push out, the tube will stay inserted and whatever needs to pass from the colon will pass around the tube and down the drain.

One distinct advantage of the open system is that there is no odor at all. Another advantage is that the client can have as much privacy as he or she desires.”

 

 

 

Colonic Preparation

The better you prep, the better the colonic...please do your best to do the following, and don't panic if you can't do it all.  Relax! Relax! Relax!

Key thingsto do before your colonic:

2 days prior to your appt eat less meat and dairy and more fruits and vegetables. Also, drink lots of water.

 The night before your colonic appt, take a natural laxative.  I recommend a product called Cleansemore by Renew Life or Natural Laxative by Aboca.  However, if you go to your local health food store there are many to choose from.  A cup of warm prune juice also works well.

 2 hours before your appt, don't eat or drink anything.   

 In addition:

 Arrive on time without a rushed manner.  The intestines work best when they are relaxed.

 Laughing, breathing, listening to soothing music and being in a supportive loving environment all helps the central nervous system to relax.

 Schedule some time to exercise either the day of or the day prior to having a colonic. Swim, walk, ride a bicycle, dance, garden, play with your children or pets, clean, get a reiki treatment, practice yoga or pilates.  Rebouding (bouncing on a mini trampoline) is fabulous for toning the colon and other organs as well as for stimulation of the lymphatic system.  Enjoy and be grateful for your amazing body.

 

The Benefits of Additives

Chlorophyll

This substance is a great deodorizer and energizer. Any client with foul gas/stool issues or that just needs a “pick me up” will benefit from this retention enema.

Coffee

Organic coffee, when delivered through the colon, serves to open the body’s bile ducts and detoxify the liver.  Every client can benefit from periodic liver cleansing.

Castile Soap

This all natural detergent increases the cleansing of the session.  New or existing clients with impacted, dehydrated, and sluggish movements will benefit.

Aloe

This is an intestinal soother.  Those clients with IBS, use laxatives, or have excessive mucus production will benefit.

Peroxide

This is antibacterial/anti- parasitic.  Peroxide provides food grade oxygen which is deadly to anaerobic organisms.  Also, this is a great cleanser.

 Candida Flush

This all natural anti fungal solution is used to fight candidiasis (yeast).

Lemon Juice

Good for colitis problems with excess mucus.  This additive is effective in removing fecal matter and balancing ph.
