BUILD A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM! DETOX & ADDRESS CONSTIPATION, BLOATING & WEIGHT-LOSS

We experience well being and health when the peristalsis in the colon is strong and there is daily elimination. When there is constipation, the colon becomes congested with stagnant, putrefying wastes and poisons that congest and pollute the inner environment of our bodies. This is called autointoxication, which literally means 'self-poisoning'. All of the body's tissues are affected by autointoxication. The colon is often said to be the initiator of 80% of all crucial illness.

Most of our food is over-processed, refined, fried, salted and cooked. The over-consumption of mucous producing foods such as meat, soy, dairy products and flour causes sticky bowel movements, which leave behind a glue-like coating that accumulates onto the wall of the colon. This toxic waste is often carried for the duration of a person's life. The inner diameter of the colon is reduced like a water pipe blocked by mineral deposits, becoming narrower and making it more difficult to excrete wastes. Wastes from the blood stream, normally drawn into the colon, are unable to permeate the colon wall and are re-absorbed back into the body.

Colonics offer relief by cleansing the colon of impacted and putrefactive fecal matter. Constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, gas, headaches, irritability, skin problems, cold hands and feet & lethargy are among the problems people have found relieved by colon cleansing. One feels lighter and more energetic. Natural peristalsis, tone and regularity are restored while the colon is allowed to rejuvenate and thereby promoting better peristalsis.

I really love this cold, raw soup!! A friend of mine would make it for me every summer and never tell me what was in it. She said because then she could be sure we would share a few lunches together each summer! That's is what food is all about really, sharing. Invite a friend or two over for this lovely summer treat. A little good bread and some nice cheese (and a few fun stories of course!!) and you will have a created a sweet summer time memory.
