The Human Colon

All of the food you put in your body goes through your colon. It takes only five days for the cells on the inner walls of the colon to be replaced with new ones.

Once we have eaten a meal we should be able to eliminate the waste from that food within 16 to 24 hours. It is startling to learn that the average elimination time in America is 96 hours!

If you want to determine your "transit time" a good way is to eat some beets or drink fresh beet juice. The red color will make it easy to tell how long it took to get through your system.

There are over 300 different types of parasites thriving in America today. More than 80% of the world is infested with them. Parasites are in food and parasites are in your colon. Parasites are vermin that steal your food, drink your blood and leave their excretement in your body only to be reabsorbed back into your body as nourishment. Shavegrass and Black Walnut hulls are known for killing and expelling parasites. Parasite incubation time is 36 hours.

You are what you eat right? Wrong! You are what you assimilate. Case-in-point: Corn-on-the-cob can be a worthless food, because it's so delicious we eat it with such haste, that it passes through the digestive tract as whole-kernel corn... with all the nutrition still locked inside. It doesn't pass the intestinal wall. It doesn't pass the cell wall.

The issue is, in order for nutrients to be utilized by our body, these nutrients must penetrate two major barriers: first the intestinal wall and then the cell wall. Whole live food (vegetables and fruits) can do this, while dead food (meats and cooked food) can't.

Synthetic vitamins can't do it either and it is not uncommon for 100% of these so-called "high-potency" vitamins to be eliminated as waste, providing no benefit whatsoever to our health.

The recommended dosage is 1 tablespoon of Herbal Fiberblend three times a day for additional dietary fiber to your keep colon swept and reduce parasitic infections. We use it everyday mixed with lemonade. Herbal Fiberblend comes in a variety of flavors. We recommend the raspberry.
