you ever hear this idea that we have 5

to 10 to 20 pounds of toxic poop

stuck in our colons so today we’re going

to talk about if that’s actually a myth

or if there’s some truth in it now i

have done

every cleanse that has ever been

invented i’ve done colonics i’ve done

colemas which is a combination of an

enema and a colonic which was invented

by bernard jensen who wrote the book on

colon cleansing i went to his home he

lived in a trailer in san diego

and i bought his kits and i’ve done many

of his colonics over the years and

looking back at that the problem was i

never fixed my diet so you’d go on a

seven-day kind of a colema cleanse where

you’re doing this colema twice a day

morning at night and then you’re not

eating any food you’re taking

psyllium seed apple juice which is

filled with sugar and a bunch of

vitamins

and literally i was

starving because my blood sugars were up

and down because of the apple juice i

never

got into ketosis

and i was just

dreaming about eating a pizza because

they never told you to consume

electrolytes or sea salt so i was so

craving something salty and little did i

know i was very deficient in sodium and

that was actually quite dangerous to

drink all this fluid and then to

eliminate all this fluid so you really

need to know what you’re doing if you’re

going to do a colon cleanse

now how much toxic material is actually

in someone

could it be 5 10 20 pounds maybe with

some people but i don’t think it’s the

average i think the average person who

eliminates between

14 to 16 ounces of poop a day usually

does not have an impacted colon or

constipation now that’s a generality you

know a lot of people do have

constipation and they could be holding a

lot more

waste however i do not think it’s like

10 or even 20 pounds now in practice

there was one lady who came to see me

that was severely constipated she was

going to the bathroom once a month i’m

not kidding

and so yes she probably had more than 20

pounds of impacted poop in her gut but

of course when i did the evaluation i

found that her diet wasn’t that great

and

after i got done explaining what to eat

uh she left and i never saw her again

but when she checked out at my front

desk

i went to lunch and i went outside and i

saw her car there and i walked by her

car and i happened to notice in the back

seat

it was

filled with

empty wrappers of

burger king mcdonald’s

kfc

i mean she didn’t even shoot him in the

garbage she stuck him in the back seat

so i think that had something to do

possibly

with um her constipation problem as well

as your toxicity

but i think the average person has this

idea

that

stool or waste is always toxic maybe

because it has an unpleasant smell

but think about what’s happening you’re

having

billions of microbes breaking down your

food and if the diet is poor you’re

going to have

more of one microbe than another and

those microbes give off certain gases

that then have bad odor but if someone’s

fairly healthy and they’re eating

correctly they should not produce those

very unpleasant gases

that

other people might produce even when

someone has really bad breath whether

it’s a softer smell or like a sewage

breath

that smell is not coming from toxins

it’s coming from the gases produced by

certain microbes

that the person has an overgrowth and

it’s the overgrowth of certain microbes

or yeast or or fungus that are producing

that bad odor and you know some people

have this idea that they just need to

flush out and cleanse

all this waste so then they can be

healthy and clean

but what happens when you’re flushing

out all these microbes doing a colonic

or some herbal

laxative you’re also fleshing out all

this friendly bacteria that you need to

help you digest the food it’s kind of

like taking antibiotic one of the big

side effects is

constipation we depend on these microbes

to help us especially with the

consistency of our stool as well as the

frequency as well you know just like if

you’re going to build a garden you’re

going to make a compost pile that

material in the compost cannot break

down unless you have

like manure like animal waste which has

all the microbes if the microbes are not

in that material it will just sit there

it will not break down it won’t decay so

we really need these microbes and mostly

in the large intestine to help us break

down things so in the digestive system

we have a lot of things that help us

break food down we have the stomach

acids

we have the enzymes that are produced

by our stomach in our pancreas and by

our small intestine that act on the food

in the small intestine

we have help from the liver and the

gallbladder producing the bile that

helps us break down fat so all these

things contribute to helping breaking

down food and then having it end up as a

waste but you have to realize that that

waste product is alive it’s alive with

over a hundred billion microbes

just in one gram and 100 million viruses

per gram and when you’re sick the viral

loads can go up to a trillion per gram

but these viruses i’m talking about are

friendly viruses that keep the bacteria

in check they don’t affect our body they

kill bacteria to prevent the overgrowth

of bacteria so you have this interesting

balancing mechanism the point is that we

need these microbes desperately in the

absorption of food and for our immune

system and for many other reasons like

making vitamins but most of the microbes

are in the large intestine and as things

work you have this very long

tube from your stomach all the way down

to the rectum that is acting on this

food when you eat and normally at any

given time you should have about like

one pound of of material going through

your system because think about what’s

happening this food is constantly

breaking down and being absorbed okay

because a lot of food

has water in it for example like even

steak is over 50 water and the body is

reabsorbing all this material through

the small intestine so 90 of the

digestion occurs in the small intestine

so it’s like sucking out nutrition

amino acids fatty acids vitamins

minerals carbohydrates it’s sucking it

out through the layer of your small

intestine and even a large intestine too

and it’s going right into your

lymphatic system in your circulatory

system so just because you consume one

pound of food it doesn’t end up as one

pound of waste and then when the

undigested particles end up in the large

intestine

the microbes act on those

and turn those into

a certain type of fat small chain fatty

acids that give you energy that feed

your colon

that help your blood sugars

so you have this incredibly dynamic

activity that’s happening with this wave

or pumping action it’s called

peristalsis that’s supposed to push the

material through this digestive system

and have each part do a different thing

certain parts of your small intestine

for example will start to absorb trace

minerals for example certain parts of

the digestive system also help reabsorb

bile salts

which by the way give the stool its

color brown if you don’t have enough

vital salts your stool becomes

lighter or pale or gray colored or even

tan

also if there’s not enough bile

things become more constipated

if there’s too much bile things become

looser you get diarrhea so all of these

different factors can act on the

material that’s going through your

system having diverse types of fibers

like different types of vegetables can

help increase

the different microbes if you’re always

eating one vegetable only your microbes

are not going to be as diversified and

so if someone’s constipated they really

need to look at

microbes like probiotics as well as

fiber but i’m not talking about

metamucil or psyllium husk talking about

actual

food fiber from vegetables and when i’m

talking about a probiotic you can do

probiotics in foods like sauerkraut for

example has a lot of good bacteria other

fermented vegetables other fermented

dairy like kefir or you can buy a good

probiotic now to be totally transparent

i do sell a high quality probiotic but

you can find a probiotic anywhere just

make sure it’s high quality and it

survives the stomach so there’s a few

important things

you need to understand about this topic

number one

the solution to either constipation or

diarrhea

always relates to your diet so if you

are constipated and you’re trying to add

more vegetable fiber to your diet and

that doesn’t work and let’s say you take

a probiotic and it still doesn’t work

i’m not opposed to taking

a herbal laxative because that’s a lot

better than a medication but just

realize the underlying cause of that

constipation definitely relates to your

diet there’s something not right in your

diet maybe you need more bile salts

because your liver is too fatty and it

can’t produce the battle salts maybe you

need more stomach acids or for example

more sea salt which is sodium chloride

to help you build more hydrochloric acid

or even you need more enzymes because

the pancreas is too exhausted because of

the constant introduction of

carbohydrates so anyway i wanted to

clear up some of these

interesting ideas people had in

relationship to

toxic poop and to give you the

understanding that not everyone has you

know pounds and pounds of toxic material

in their colon that they need to flush

out with a pill you really need to

figure out the diet because that’s

really the ultimate

correction

of digestive problems now if you haven’t

seen my video on how to use foods to

detoxify your liver i put that up right

here check it out
