Give Your Body a Chance With a Colon Cleanse

It may surprise you that ninety percent of all disease begins in the colon. It is therefore worrying that a large number of Americans have impacted, putrefied fecal waste stuck to the walls of their colons. This leaves only a narrow tube that soft feces can travel through to be eliminated. Colon cleansing is therefore extremely important to good health. Without regularly detoxifying your bowel, you can be encouraging an internal environment which leads to illness.

A poorly functioning colon leads to a sewage back-up in your body. Fecal wastes that are not eliminated will eventually decay and enter the bloodstream affecting the whole body. Bad breath can result when the toxins poison the lungs. Rashes can appear on the skin. If you have suffered from a long term toxic colon you [ Continue Reading ]

Muscles, Minerals, And More

Freyja, the Norse goddess of beauty, fertility and luster, and the Scandinavian goddess of youth and beauty, presumably called Vanadi, are the name source of this recently acclaimed trace mineral. Though evidence remains circumstantial as to how essential it is for humans, for many of us, the name implies, perhaps, that vanadium somehow aids in the maintenance of a beautiful and youthful vigor in life. There have been research attempts to this end as in studies regarding body-builders and the use of vanadium for building lean muscle mass, but to date there is little-to-no proof validating this belief.

Vanadium is present in varying amounts in the earth’s crust. It is in bituminous materials (or mineral ore), carbons, heavy oils, and, quantities dependent on environmental [ Continue Reading ]
