The Choices You Have For Colon Cleansing

By Robert Franklin

Our colon health is something that we should all be concerned about. Especially because of diseases that relate to body toxicity levels like cancer and liver disease. What you put into your body is filtered by your colon and if your colon is clogged, by undigested leftover matter, you are not getting the nutrition your body needs to function properly and the problem is just getting worse.

Colon Cleansing Has been a hot topic in the health industry for about the past 100 years. It all started with Doc Kellogg and his theories about the bodies toxicity levels relationship to colon health and the amount of undigested matter found in the colons of people suffering from chronic diseases. Doctor Kellogg founded the Kellogg Institute in the early 1900's and in so became one of the worlds most famous health practitioners. At his health resort patrons were put through a daily regiment of light exercise and therapeutic enema colon cleansing. His obsession with colon health lead him to develop a food product that would cleanse the colon and provide morning nutrition for his patents. The result was Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Doctor Kellogg's brother founded the manufacturing plant for Kellogg's Corn Flakes and in doing so stared the first big health nutrition industry in this country.

Colon cleansing and colon cleansing products have come a long way in the hundred years since Doctor Kellogg and his daily enemas. Today's products place a greater emphasis on drawing toxins out of your colon tissue and other organs like the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas and are mostly herbal in nature. It has to be said though that Doctor Kellogg was on the right tract as far as disease prevention is concerned and modern medical science has proven the benefits of body detoxification.

If you are one of the millions considering a colon detoxifying product, they should contain these ingredients. Here is a list of natural herbs that have been clinically proven to have high body detoxifying properties.
