www.yourlocaljuicelady.com for an excellent colon fiber cleanse. You may get some benefits from juicing on an impacted colon but the benefits would not be the same as having a clean colon.  While the body has many cleansing systems such as the skin, lungs, kidneys, eyes, ears, nose and throat, the colon is by far the most important cleansing system that the body has. Do you know that (a) 10-12 lbs. of fecal matter can be stored in the colon? (b) A constipated colon causes an endless amount of unrelated diseases and problems and can compress the lungs, heart, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, uterus and prostate? No matter how far removed from the colon the problem seems to be, cleanse the bowel thoroughly first, then see what happens. Foods that create a problem for the colon are, white sugar, flour, meats, diary, lots of starches, sodas, coffee, cow’s milk and artificial sweeteners. All these things are detrimental to our health and most often lead to disease. To paraphrase, Leonardo da Vinci said: “when humans eat animal products, they use their stomachs as a graveyard.”  An unhealthy colon can cause many problems and is a major source of toxins in the body.  When we clean the colon, many of the diseases such as arthritis, inflammation, and high blood pressure are either gone or greatly reduced. Animal products are loaded with fat containing all the toxins that the animal has eaten. This animal fat accumulates in our body, clogs our arteries and results in the death of about 40% of people. Feeding on dead foods cannot sustain life. Our foods are chemically sprayed, chemically preserved for shelf life, enhanced for flavor and color, and then chemically enriched with synthetic vitamins. We then wonder after years of eating this way why we are sick. In addition to juicing and cleaning our colons, our diets must be changed. It is never too late to change our diet. Plant based foods, fruits, juicing, vegetables-these are the things our body needs to reverse disease and allow the body to begin to heal itself. A plant based diet is extremely important in allowing the body to stay healthy. Raw plant foods are loaded with fiber and it is that fiber that keeps the food moving rapidly through the lengthy digestive tract with tis many pockets, loops and bends. We were made for a plant base diet (Genesis 1:29) from creation to the flood. In those days man lived an average of 912 years without one single recorded instance of sickness. It was not until after the flood (which covered all plant life) that we had permission to eat the flesh of CLEAN animals (Genesis 9:13) It was then that the lifespan dropped form 912 years to 110 years on a cooked meat based diet. Additionally, we are to eat only clean animals, if you are going to eat it at all. Shrimps, crabs, lobsters, fish without scales and fins are all considered unclean. They are scavengers and contain a lot of mercury as bottom feeders in the ocean; that in and of itself brings another host of diseases such as gout and bursitis.  Our bodies are God’s temple and we are responsible for taking the best care of it that we can. We cannot eat and drink irresponsibly then ask for prayer to save us from sickness, then go back to eating the same way. Insanity- doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Are we insane?? I think not. I hope I have given you some insight into juicing and colon cleansing. There is a definite correlation.
