Before I became a clinical nutritionist & health coach I worked for years giving colonics. The BEST THING I ever learned was poop. It tells you so much. These are forgotten truths - Here’s my video on the anatomy of the colon - https://t.co/pAtm5GjSqk

THE SMALL & LARGE INTESTINES
Your colon health is not only about poop I've been especially reminded about this as people are going through detox programs and they're bloated and they don't go to the bathroom or they tell me they go once a day and they're fine or every third day or whatever it is so your Colon's health is not only about poop. What else happens?
Let's look at a little bit of anatomy here is your large and small intestines. The bowel is about 5 ft. The intestinal tract, where you digest food above, and the small intestines, are approximately 23 ft. 30 ft mouth to anus.
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS
This is your colon, and I want you to notice that there's a major aorta and all the veins that attach to the colon walls. Why is that vitally important? Because when you have poop stuck in your colon, you are technically poisoning yourself with the toxic substances sitting in your bowel. And I just showed you all the blood attached, all the veins and the arteries, so all the toxins--skatole, cresol, indole, phenol--and the permeability of your intestinal wall, all of these things are affected by your stool sitting in that bowel and directly poisoning your blood. And don't forget, the liver is cleansing that blood every 7 minutes.
So what else about this blood supply, what else do we know? So I'm just showing you another picture with the blood vessels' major artery that's attached to the colon wall. Well, look at this, it's the Superior Mesenteric Vein that affects your lymph drainage and your nerve supply. Nerves? That means your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. That is your Vagus Nerve.
Now this is interesting. If you go to a chiropractor, they will adjust your Vagus Cranial Nerve. But people don't talk about the fact that it goes from the cranium all the way down to the bowel and it's distributed until the right 2/3 of the transverse colon.
HOW CAN THIS TOTALLY AFFECT YOU?
Well, it can affect you because it's responsible for your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the calming influence, right? The sympathetic is stress, cortisol-producing, like, you know, you're running away from a bear. But this vagus nerve does the opposite. It helps you get rid of stress and remain calm. The more things you do to stimulate that Vagus Nerve, the more relaxed you are, and guess what? It attaches right to your colon. That's why people feel so much better after they've had a colonic, right? They feel amazing and they don't understand why this is one of the reasons, okay?
2:40. Then I want to show you this. Here is your colon, and I've already shown you the major artery in the veins attached to that colon wall, which affects everything in your body because it's your blood. It's like soil to a plant, right? This is your blood directly affected by your colon. But look at these little green dots. Those are your lymph nodes. How important are your lymph nodes? Well, basically your lymph nodes are your immune system, right? The lymph nodes are like little trash cans that take out the garbage, and when they're full and when they don't move they get full of waste and matter, and if they're attached here to this colon wall that's full of poop, you can see this is going to be a big problem. Now here is something interesting. The heart is a pump, and it pumps your blood. But the lymphs technically have no pump. If you don't work out, if you don't sweat, if you don't do baths that cause sweating and perspiring, if you don't do saunas, if you don't do something to open these lymphs, especially as we age or we get sick or God forbid we have cancer, we're going to get very, very ill.
So here's a brief overview of the lymphatic system: helps defend the body against illness-causing germs, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These are illness-causing germs, I should say. The system builds immunity by making special white blood cells called lymphocytes that produce antibodies that are responsible for immune responses that defend the body against disease. As lymph fluid passes through the lymph nodes, the white blood cells attack any bacteria or viruses found. This system helps to remove these impurities and dispose of them through perspiration, sweating, bowel movements, urine, and breath. Now let's go back again and look at that.
4:18. There are lymph systems throughout, or lymph nodes, throughout the entire body. If you have breast cancer, they look under your arms, etc. So it's very interesting. When I tell people that with your colon, not only are your blood vessels attached to the wall, you have major arteries attached to the walls, your lymph system is attached to the walls, and you have poop sitting inside that colon for long periods of time. Your motility of the bowel. So looking at this picture of the bowel, I want to show you guys something. See how the large intestine has these little bumps; they go all around the edges. They just look like weird little bumps. Well, those are muscles. The colon technically is a muscle. The colon should be those musculatures, should be doing this all day, and that's called peristalsis; that's churning, and the musculature pushes the stool forward until it eventually has a bowel movement. The problem here is that most people's peristalsis and the movement of those muscles is stagnant. Stagnant. And we have doctors on TV telling everybody to not do the colonics cuz it's going to remove all of the good bacteria. And I want to tell you guys to look at the anatomy. You got your veins. You have a major artery attached to this colon wall. You have the blood supply to the colon a major Superior Mesenteric Vein, lymph drainage attached to the colon, and their supply when you're all wired up and you need peristalsis sympathetic a lot of this has to do with this blood supply that's also going directly to that: that is full there is a s*** and all of the toxins that come with s*** right
6:00. Then imagine that you've got MS. Imagine you've got Lyme disease. Imagine you have cancer and your autoimmune system ability body's ability to actually eliminate the toxins is compromised because you're sick. So now instead of toxins coming right through the body and coming straight out of that bowel and being eliminated and they are not, they are sitting there, and we need them when we are sick . . . When I had breast cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, lupus, and MS, when I was so ill my elimination systems were not working well . . . . They also don't work well when you're on prescription drugs. If that prescription drug is supposed to make you feel calmer, it's also making your colon stagnant; it's not moving right. We need peristalsis. We need the musculature of the colon to be moving. Now tell me again that you're worried about losing your good bacteria out of the bowel when you understand this anatomy right here. Your good bacteria totally count. But when I work with people, when I do a lab test, and I find out that they're loaded with bacteria, it's a process to restore . . . we need to that bowel, we need to kill the bad bugs, we need to get that body's elimination system open again and working. And down the road with diet and other things, we will restore that flora. But if you've been on Tylenol and over-the-counter drugs as well as prescription drugs, the chances that you have any good flora or bacteria . . . most people don't have a lot of it.
So I wanted to draw your attention with this short video to the anatomy of the colon so that you will understand how incredibly vital it is to keep this organ clean. The liver and the colon are intimately connected. When this bowel is all backed up, remember this, you have intestinal auto-intoxication, meaning you're intoxicating yourself all day long because all that stuff in there is just releasing its toxic load into the bloodstream which affects the liver. Now, if you have fatty liver, let's say you have a non-alcoholic fatty liver disorder, you are already compromised. So again, the colon is the major organ that's going to help release and help unburden you. Know the burden of all of this waste is directly affecting you. So I call colonics an adjunctive therapy. It's not the answer to everything, but it's very impactful and it's very helpful for most people who are ill. When I was ill and I couldn't do anything, I was told I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40. I couldn't take a lot of supplements I couldn't do a lot of things. I was very very ill. Colonics, also enemas, coffee enemas, were one of the things that released my toxic load. It unloaded me. I actually had moments of the day where I felt good. Nothing else had made me feel good, so it was a very good beginning.
