Hawki, I'm on your side in any argument about "toxic colon" or the benefits
of "cleansing" ones colon. But to be fair, all those pretty pink colons that
you have examined have had the benefit of a cleanse in the form of Golytely
and/or enemas. If you took a peek in mine right now, I'm sure you'd find
some sh.t. Not that my condition is unhealthy....

;o)  Rich  --> Has carried out the order "SSE's until clear" far too often!

You get yourself a book on cellsalts.

Why should I believe you? Look at the long list of chronic complaints
conventional medicine can't cure, while all the time they overlook the
subject of proper nutrition and auto-toxemia or self-poisoning - which
occurs when the body can't get rid of wastes fast enough and they bank
up in the system.

So what is a bowel pocket, or what is constipation all about?

Statistics
from http://www.angelhealingcenter.com/colon.html#statistcs

.  1.  150,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colon
and rectal cancers every year.
  2.  75,000 people died of these cancers in 1989.
  3.  Over 100,000 colostomies are performed every year.
  4.   95% of our country is chronically constipated with impacted
colons.
  5.   Average impacted waste in a colon is 4 to 12 lbs.
  6.   It is not unusual for a person to carry 10--20 Ibs in extra
fecal weight adding to waist size!
  7.   Most people carry a nest of worms and other parasites in this
waste material.
  8.   All bowel problems can be alleviated with colon hydrotherapy.
  9.   Most health problems are aggravated by toxins originating in
the colon

Orac, is wrong. Gangrene may be cured by other methods. But then, Orac would
not get to hurt someone.

 

Vitamin C cures scurvy. Cellsalts in treating housedust allergies and
asthma.

You're talking about the HEALTHY BODY. The DISEASED body is not well
equipped to rid itself of toxins because there has been a breakdown in
the process and intervention is needed in the form of cellsalts.

The cellsalt theory doesn't work by diagnosing an actual disease but
by symptoms - disease names are actually irrelevant, its the symptom
that is considered. Each deficiency of a cellsalt produces a certain
symptom which is then corrected by supplying the missing cellsalt.

"Should a deficiency occur in one or more of these workers, of whom
there are twelve, some abnormal condition arises. These abnormal
conditions are known by the general term disease, and according as
they manifest themselves in different parts of the body, they have
been designated by various names.  But these names totally fail to
express the real trouble. Every disease which afflicts the human race
is due to a lack of one or more of these inorganic workers. Every pain
or unpleasant sensation indicates a lack of some inorganic constituent
of the body. Health and strength can be maintained only so long as the
system is properly supplied with these call-salts."  --The Biochemic
Handbook

Maybe the symptom is itching between the toes for example. It doesn't
matter whether it is as a result of a fungus, or eczema. What the
itching will be caused by is the skin is eliminating something which
the opportunistic fungus will gravitate towards.

I'm not the first person to say this. Back in the 1850s there was a
school of thought which said that the cells changed according to the
environment they existed in. That germs were only opportunistic
scavengers which worked to return the half-dead and dying cells back
to nature to be recycled -- like fungus lives on dead rotting wood, or
like a dead plant or animal gets recycled back to the earth by
micro-organisms which feed on it.

Beauchamp said it, Virchow said it and Pasteur was even said to have
said it on his deathbed, that this was the case.

"If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that
germs seek their natural habitat, diseased tissue - rather than being
the cause of the diseased tissue."
- Rudolph Virchow (1821-1902)

"Bernard was right, the germ is nothing--the milieu  [the environment
within] is everything."  
-  Louis Pasteur

"Many forms of diagnosis are dependent upon what germ life exists, and
its existence in the body usually indicates a bad state of
deterioration. Disease germs are nature's undertakers"    --Bernard
Jenson, The Science and Practise of Iridology

My guess is that gangrene could be fixed with cellsalts - probably
large doses of calcium, potassium or sodium - maybe some combination
of the three in the right dose - would make a difference. Lets face it
conventional medicine has got a pathetic record of cure and I think
its because its all based on the wrong ideas.
