The colon is home to a variety of intestinal bacteria and very often, small colonies of parasites. Parasites such as intestinal worms (pinworms, tapeworms), amoeba, etc., can invade our body from many sources. These sources include raw, uncooked foods such as vegetables, fruits, or sushi. They can also be introduced into our bodies from pets, flies and other common insect pests. Parasites and intestinal bacteria produce toxins as their waste products, which can then be absorbed into the body.

Under normal circumstances, a healthy individual can tolerate the toxins produced by bacteria and a few parasites. However, if the body’s toxin elimination systems are overloaded and there are a large number of parasites, this extra toxin load can lead the individual’s health into a downward spiral resulting in many chronic diseases. To minimize the amount of toxins absorbed from intestinal sources, it is also important that individuals do a periodic parasite cleanse.

After a parasite cleanse, the colon should also be cleansed on a fairly frequent basis in order to further clean out toxins and any fecal matter fully. The frequency of colon cleansing depends on the diet of the individual. If one’s diet is high in fibre and stools are fairly large, one could do a colon cleanse every six months. If one’s diet is low in fibre and stools are small, then a colon cleanse every three to four months is sufficient.
