Chapter 7—How to Eliminate Colon Toxins from Food and Beverages

Key Topics:

Summary: Another extensive section, Chapter 7 covers just about everything you would need to know concerning the dangers of modern, processed foods plus methods for choosing safer, more-nutritious, organic options. Discover the shocking truths about why the vitamin and mineral content of most foods has declined over the last few decades and how many foods advertised as being "good for you" are in fact quite harmful. Read the uncensored facts about the brutality and sickening practices utilized to convert livestock into food (for humans) that provides less energy per pound than if we consumed the grains and water wasted in feeding them. Examine the reality inside the walls of rendering plants that "recycle" dead animals and a host of industrial contaminants into food (for pets) as a form of waste management.

Understand the ways in which different cooking methods determine whether your meals are ultimately healthful or may lead to colon toxicity. Find out which powerful and health-destroying drug is sold over the counter every day via millions of restaurants, convenience stores, vending machines, and school cafeterias! Learn how your body can become physiologically dependent upon one of the most addictive and toxic substances known. In general, learn how to eliminate toxins in your diet by avoiding as many pre-packaged, chemically tainted, genetically engineered, artificially prepared and preserved, refined, "fortified", and mass-produced foods and beverages as possible.

Chapter 8—How to Reduce Intestinal Toxins from Air and Water

Key Topics:

Summary: The very air we breathe may be choking the health right out of us! This section presents a general description of a variety of airborne pollutants, their sources and physical effects upon us, plus ways to eliminate them from our external (and thus our internal) environments. Discover effective methods for purifying indoor air quality by reducing your exposure to household cleaning supplies, tobacco products, industrial pollution and smog, and parasitic organisms.

Learn why fresh, purified water is the most important thing we can consume, not only for improved health but also for flushing toxins out of vital organs and systems. Moreover, find out which extremely dangerous chemicals can be found in public water supplies. Note—some of these chemicals are included on purpose and can also be seen on the ingredients labeling of several types of common household products. Then, learn how to detect these chemicals and ways to filter them from your bathing, swimming, and drinking water.

Chapter 9—How to Reduce Intestinal Toxins from Drugs and Stress

Key Topics: Summary:

A relatively brief but invaluable section, Chapter 9 explains why the actual practice of healthcare in the United States often conflicts with its stated mission of healing people of their illnesses and ailments. This chapter reveals alarming statistics about the overwhelming volume of harmful side effects, overdoses, misdiagnosis, and even deaths caused by modern medicine and pharmaceutical drugs. Plus, many of these drugs can damage the colon, thus leading to additional healthcare concerns. Perhaps of greatest concern, learn how routine vaccination can be one of the worst decisions you can make regarding the health of yourself and your family.

The latter half of the chapter delves into the importance of reducing stress as a leading determinant of overall quality of life and health. Common practices (such as negative emotions, poor diet, and not getting enough rest) can amplify the effects of stress while simple solutions (such as exercise, sleeping well, and eating plenty of organic foods) can help alleviate this concern. Finally, study the Vertebral Subluxation Chart to learn how spinal alignment relates to good or ill health of major organs and the nervous system, contributes to efficient waste elimination, and is a factor of your overall emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.

Chapter 10—How to Reduce Intestinal Toxins from Heavy Metals & Radiation

Key Topics: Summary:

Although you will likely avoid direct exposure to heavy metals and radiation if you know about it in advance, this section points out sources of these dangerous elements of which you may not be aware. For example, many legacy and modern household products may cause toxins to appear in your body cumulatively (a little at a time) until you gradually begin to develop a host of negative health symptoms that can ultimately lead to diseases such as cancer. Moreover, the foods you eat and the water you drink may contain minute amounts of heavy metals and these have to be flushed out of your system; this section will list multiple tips for doing this as well as preventative strategies for avoiding them in the future.

The second half of the chapter describes just how easy it is to be exposed to radiation in our technologically driven world (and why this is harmful to our bodies down to the atomic level). Review lists of household devices and personal items that you may not realize can increase your radiation absorption. Discover why business practices motivated by selling you products and services are not always compatible with what's best for your health. Also, learn the answer to the question, "what is geopathic stress and how can it contribute to radiation sickness?" On the positive side, you can begin following a few simple tips for reducing your exposure to radiation, including shielding your personal electronics, using safe alternatives, or eliminating harmful devices altogether.

Chapter 11—How to Reduce Intestinal Toxins from Parasites

Key Topics: Summary:

The universe is filled with billions of creatures great and small, and predation is one of the intrinsic laws of nature. We may seemingly possess infinite control of our environment, but even human beings can be preyed upon by hostile flora and fauna so tiny they can scarcely be seen with the naked eye.

This section will teach you how to recognize signs of parasitic infestation by a variety of hostile organisms that can steal vital nutrients, debilitate organs, interfere with bodily processes, and promote a host of diseases and disorders with the toxic waste they leave behind. Learn about the unique physical characteristics and methods of attack for several different types of parasites, how they can destroy health, and what steps to take for purging them from your body and discouraging their presence in the future.

Chapter 12—Liver and Gallbladder Cleansing, Parasite Cleansing, and Heavy Metal Cleansing

Key Topics: Summary:

The final and perhaps most critical chapter of the book, Chapter 12 reveals the exact procedures for cleansing your body of dangerous toxins, parasites, and heavy metals.

You’ll start with 6–Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse (to clean the entire intestinal tract of compacted waste matter) and 3 consecutive Liver/Gallbladder Cleanses (to detoxify these organs of accumulated toxins), proceed with the Harmful Organism Cleanse (to purge your body of parasitic hostiles), and finish with the Heavy Metal Cleanse (to flush out remnants of exposure to heavy metals and radiation in your home and work environments).

Every step of the way, you’ll be informed about preparation, ingredients for the cleansing beverage and soup (and how to make them), additional supplies needed, dietary guidelines, which high quality natural health supplements to take, plus tips for maximizing the cleansing effects of each protocol.

Additional Sections

Summary:

The Resources section provides helpful company, url, and telephone information for products specifically recommended in the book and additional entries for improving your health. For example, you can find an acupuncturist in your area, discover which websites to visit for high quality air purification systems, review organic and natural replacements for personal care and household products (such as bedding, carpeting, cookware, foods, lighting, and paint), and find suppliers for toxin and radiation test kits or high quality alternative health supplements.

The Additional Resources section essentially provides a comprehensive list of alternative health practitioners, acupuncture colleges, chiropractic colleges, colon hydrotherapists, massage therapists, and. Plus, Dr. Group has provided a list of "recommended reading" books and authors for your further study.

Appendix A is the Health Questionnaire you’ll want to use to measure and track your general state of health before, during, and after your different cleansing regimens. You can remove it from the book or simply make copies, as you’ll likely use the questionnaire over and over again. Feel free to pass it along to friends and family to help them determine their current levels of overall wellbeing.

Appendix B is simply a list of credits for illustrations used throughout the book. Some illustrations were used with permission of the creator or originating website, while Global Healing Center commissioned others for our exclusive use with all rights retained.

The Bibliography properly cites facts, figures, calculations, statistics, and other scientific data provided and utilized in Health Begins in the Colon. You may look up individual references to determine which website, publication, or peer–reviewed journal article you would need to obtain for further study of the topic in question.
