Bowel problems are nature's warning for serious health problems. The colon is the route to expel toxins. When it does not work effectively, toxins accumulate which results in various health disorders. When all the food that we consume does not get excreted, the remnants of it stick to the walls of the colon and gradually become toxic. If these wastes are not expelled, they can enter our blood stream and cause a lot of health problems like constipation, fatigue, arthritis, stress, abdominal pain, premature aging, obesity, acne, and colitis, which are all caused by a dirty colon. If left untreated, the problem can become as serious as colon cancer. Bowel movements are the basis of your health. If you don't have at least 1 bowel movement per day, you are already walking your way toward disease.

Symptoms of this condition can include mental confusion, depression, irritability, fatigue, gastrointestinal irregularities, and even allergic reactions such as hives, sneezing, and coughing. Many intuitionalists and researches believe that this toxicity can eventually lead to more serious disorders.

The colon extracts moisture from digested food before it is excreted during a trip to the bathroom.
