Colon cleansing, day one

Today I have started my adventure to allow my sweet Lord to physically heal me of muscular dystrophy. I have learned, researched, experimented, asked many questions of experienced people, and now it is TIME.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 in order to have my usual quiet time with the Lord. It was anything but usual as I stayed under conviction, very aware of my sinful soul, until 8AM. The Lord desires to cleanse me from sin, and I see the Colon Cleanse as not only purging my intestines of old physical matter, but also as an emotional and spiritual cleanse.

At 8AM I juiced four oranges and stirred a scoop of Colonix with it. I took 2 Probiotics in 8 oz of distilled water. Last night I took 2 Schulze Intestinal Formula #1 capsules to get things moving in the right direction- out! At 9 and at 10 I juiced enough apples to make 8 oz apple juice each, diluting them with 8 oz water. The 10 AM diluted juice became breakfast when I blended it with a banana, 2 tablespoons Superfood, a tablespoon of wheat germ oil, and a teaspoon of evening primrose oil. I also took a package of David William's Daily Advantage multivitamins, 2 Complete Tissue Formula capsules, and 300mg CoQ10.

I decided that every morning I would just juice fruit, taking 8 oz fresh fruit juice diluted with 8 oz distilled water every hour. The first juice would be a citrus and the rest would be apple or have an apple base. I may juice some seasonal fruit for one of these juices. I don't need to eat anything, and I haven't been the least bit hungry. Eventually I will add a kidney or Liver Flush drink in the early morning, but right now I just want to open up my intestinal tract.

Here is an article posted in the bowel cleansing forum from several years ago connecting colon cleansing with releasing old emotions:

Is there a connection between old emotions and colon cleansing?


Answer: From the work of Richard Anderson, N.D., N.M.D.


"Yes. You will find that in many cases a Colon Cleanse will purge old emotions and attitudes stored in the intestines.


Consider this case: Jessie, 20, was a vegan yet was bothered by digestive problems and candidiasis. Candidiasis, or the overgrowth of Candida albicans in the intestines, is a condition often reversed by an intense colon cleanse. During the first two weeks of the cleanse, Jessie began feeling better, but the turnaround came in week three. Jessie passed what looked like three white cotton balls (presumably Candida masses lodged in her colon), and thereafter had no more candidiasis symptoms.

In addition to her physical improvements, Jessie had an emotional benefit as well. She felt an increase in will power, a clarity in her feelings, a new desire to be of service to others, and a release of long-held resentments.


These points highlight an important aspect of colon cleansing. Many people, after completing a cleanse, feel energized, uplifted, and freed of old patterns, thoughts, feelings, and memories that have held them back. When a person is on a course of personal growth and wants to change their consciousness but is stuck in old negative patterns of thinking and feeling, there is nothing that will get them unstuck and change them faster than a colon cleanse.


In my observation of many individuals doing the colon cleanse, a negative state of consciousness is often, at an energy level, at the root of whatever physical problem they suffer from. Every thought or feeling we have has the potential of moving from the mind into the physical structure of the body where it can provoke illness. I estimate that about 70% of those doing the intensive Colon Cleanse will experience long-forgotten memories and buried emotions.


Often the memories and emotions surface into awareness with all their original charge and soon afterwards you pass a large section of mucoid plaque. As it passes out of your body, so go the emotions. In most cases, you don’t reexperience those particular emotional memories.


Here is what I think happens. It is as though you can magnetize proteins or undigested food left in the intestines with certain thoughts and feelings. These proteins hold onto the feelings for as long as the proteins remain in the intestines, and the old emotions and thoughts continually radiate through the body and mind.


They remain literally—tangibly—stuck in your body, somehow bound up with the mucoid plaque and contributing, though not often usefully, to the personality. Both the individual’s biochemistry and psyche are continuously negatively affected by these residues of emotionally magnetized matter.


Let’s say you were 13 and had a traumatic or deeply embarrassing experience. At some level, every cell in your body was affected by the emotions of that event. It is conceivable that some intestinal matter imprinted by that experience remains in your intestines, wrapped inside mucoid plaque and bearing the memory of the original pain (even though you are now 45 and barely remember the episode).


The personality and one’s operating belief system, after all, are controlled mainly by a massive accumulation of past thoughts and feelings. To a large extent, intestinal matter helps hold these feelings in place. The colon cleanse, by purging the intestines of the mucoid plaque, flushes out this accumulation of old negative thoughts and feelings.

At noon, I had the option of eating a large tossed salad or continuing on juice. I wasn't hungry at all, so opted for juice. I made 8 oz juice consisting of one apple and the rest carrot juice, then diluted it with 8 oz distilled water. I drank it along with 2 caps Complete Tissue Formula & 300mg CoQ10.

Now, at 1:30 PM, I am experiencing a slight frontal headache, fatigue, slight chills needing a hoodie (it is a cold January day), and some intestinal bloating. Very cool- I believe I am already starting to break up whatever is inside of me and on the way to releasing toxins. God is so good. He gives us bodies that WANT to be healthy and pure. Oh, that our hearts would be pure, as well.

3PM- 8 oz green juice made with leaf lettuce, green pepper, and a little carrot, diluted with 8 oz distilled water. I added 2 tablespoons Superfood. I also ate six raw Brazil nuts for the selenium. The juice didn't taste good, but I consoled myself in knowing that my 75 trillion cells were getting optimum nutrition.
