is an excerpt from Tissue Cleansing Through
Bowel Management, 1980, by Dr. Bernard Jensen,
DC, ND, Ph.D.
"The heavy mucus coating in
the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. The
blood capillaries to the colon begin to pick up the toxins,
poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel
wall. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on
toxic substances. Here is the beginning of true autointoxication
on a physiological level.
This accumulation can have the
consistency of truck tire rubber. It's that hard and black."

General overview of
the Colon Cleansing Kit
The Colon Cleansing Kit is a five-day intensive
intestinal cleansing program that works by using
two herbal formulas. The first, Digestive Stimulator,
comes in capsule form and works gently to support
normal bowel function. The second, Toxin Absorber,
is a powder that is drunk five times per day after
being mixed with Organic Apple juice. The herbs in
this formula have been traditionally used for their
strong absorptive properties and work powerfully
to draw hardened mucus build-up and fecal matter
out of the intestinal tract. You will be required
to fast during these five days or the Toxin Absorber
will simply bind to the food you are eating and not
the waste you are trying to remove.
Detailed look at the formulas
in
the Colon Cleansing Kit
Detail of the formulas:
Toxin Absorber During this program one will take Toxin Absorber
with apple juice and water, five times a day, to
draw build-up off their intestinal walls. It will
also absorb toxins, heavy metals, and excess cholesterol
from the intestinal tract. Although liquid when
first mixed, Toxin Absorber will begin to thicken
as it slowly moves through the digestive system.
During this time, it will bond to the build-up
on a person's intestinal walls, pulling it out
of one's system.

Digestive Stimulator Digestive Stimulator is a natural herbal stimulant
that tones, cleanses, and purifies the entire digestive
system. The dosages will vary for each person to assure
that one's bowels are moving at least three times a day.
During this program it is vitally important that one has
regular bowel movements to keep the Toxin Absorber moving
through the intestinal system.

Benefits of the Colon Cleansing Kit A generally accepted benefit of colon cleansing is
based on the theory that the hardened mucus that is lining
the intestinal wall greatly reduces one's ability to absorb
nutrition. Because you are not able to absorb proper nutrition
this feeds the cycle of craving more food and stronger
flavors. When in fact what your body really wants is better
nutrition. Unless this cycle is broken, no amount of will
power will successfully change one's dietary habits in
the long run.
After removing this intestinal build-up, it has been observed
that people feel the body has returned to a more natural
state. It has also been observed that people have much
greater discernment of how foods actually affects them.
This opens the possibility to fully appreciate the "true
taste" of foods. At this point, people have found they
can easily make dietary changes and really feel (& taste!)
the difference!
"
I had been drinking city water for several months when
I started my fast. On the third day, I woke up in the night
and my water tasted like pure poison!! What it actually
is!! I couldn't believe I'd never tasted it before." - Shalom
Volchok, owners son
Other benefits that have been reported to us include deep
emotional catharsis leading to an amazing clarity. One
theory on this says that emotions can become trapped along
with the intestinal debris and when they are released one
may relive old emotional experiences leading to a great
freedom of internal energy.
What we know and don't know
about Colon Cleansing
An article by Shalom Volchok, son of Blessed
Herbs Co-Founders
The purpose of this article is to provide a clear
picture of what is known and unknown about colon
cleansing and to allow you, the consumer, to make
an educated decision whether it is something you
want to do for youself. It is divided into three
parts. Part One covers our experience with colon
cleansing in general and specifically the Colon Cleansing
Kit. Part Two covers the observational data gathered
by two Naturopathic Doctors who studied and used
colon cleansing extensively as well as some observational
data from ourselves. Part Three presents the view
from many medical professionals that colon cleansing
is useless and unproven.
Part One: Our experience and point of view on colon
cleansing.
The Colon Cleansing Kit was created by my mother, Martha Volchok. She
is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild and has been a practicing
herbalist for over thirty years. About twenty-five years ago she had
extreme digestive disorders and started using colon cleansing to assist
herself. Since that time she has continued with, at least, yearly cleanses.
She has used many products and different herbal combination. Four years
ago she decided to create the Colon Cleansing Kit, a product of her own,
based on her years of self expermination. She says:
"I have tried many different herbal formulas for colon
cleansing over the years, but it wasn't untill I decided,
as a professional herbalist, to create my own formula
that I got everything that I wanted -strength of action
combined with gentleness- to make colon cleansing as
thorough and comfortable as possible."
The benchmark for any colon cleanse is the ability to consistently
produce thick, dark and rubbery bowel movements, the sign
of a successful cleanse (view
photos). Martha created such a cleanse in the Colon
Cleansing Kit. The process is simple consisting of two
formulas and a system for taking them.
After she had created the Colon Cleansing Kit my dad, myself
and six or seven of our employees were the first to use
the Colon Cleansing Kit. We all followed her recommended
system, which included a five day liquid only diet, and
all of us saw similar thick, dark and rubbery material
being passed in our bowel movements. This was our first
observational data that the Colon Cleansing Kit was indeed
performing as a great colon cleanse should. At this point
I want to clarify the difference between observational
and experiential data and "scientific data". First, the
governing scientific bodies and major medical journals
want proof in the form of double blind, randomized, placebo
controlled, crossover trials. That is what I mean by "scientific
data". Scientifically speaking they don't like observational
data. However, even some of them are starting to recognize
the limiting nature of this mindset. I recently read an
a study from the British Medical Journal (a major medical
journal, no less) making fun of this strict process. My
favorite quote from that study is below:
"Conclusions: As with many interventions intended to
prevent ill health, the effectiveness of parachutes has
not been subjected to rigorous evaluation by using randomised
controlled trials. Advocates of evidence based medicine
have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated
by using only observational data. We think that everyone
might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence
based medicine organised and participated in a double blind,
randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the
parachute." (read
full article here)
That said, we are currently working on creating one of
these trials. However, traditional holisitc practices,
like colon cleansing, resist the narrow view needed to
conduct one of these scientific studies. The benefits of
colon cleansing are different for everyone and even if
we create a successful study on the Colon Cleansing Kit
we must pick "one" benefit to study and there is no guarantee
we will be able to conclusively prove anything that is
relevant to you or your health.
All that said. I want to emphasive the importance of YOU
taking responsibility for you own health. Not just here,
with your decision to use the Colon Cleansing Kit, or not.
But with every decision you make in your life. It's your
life. For me embracing the responsibility for one's own
life is the the principal that I see at the heart of holistic
living. I urge you to not hand it over to us or anyone
else. Only you know what is right for you.
With that mindframe we believe you, the consumer, should
have access to other people's experiences with products
that are not yet and may never be proven in that scientific
way. Remeber these are other people sharing their experiences.
Even the Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) are just sharing what
they know for themselves to be true. It's your job to apply
this information to your life and accept that colon cleansing
is not "proven" like mainstream medicine. It's a different
process. The process is people sharing what they got, you
applying that information to your life, making an active
decision and then taking full responsibility for your decision.
Remeber, this is not just about our product. Do it when
you go to the doctor or the acupuncturist. Do it always.
Which brings me to SAFETY. Have you ever stopped and asked
yourself what "safe" means? What does "safe" mean? Again
we feel this is your responsibilty to decide. Take for
example, prescription medication. It is highly tested and
supposedly safe, yet an article in the Journal of American
Medical Association says that approximately 106,000 people
die every year from non error, adverse effects of medications
(article
available here). That means prescription medication
is the sixth leading cause of death in the USA. I'm not saying
don't take prescription medication. I'm not telling you
to take or not take anything. I am inviting you to use
a three step process I feel is the heart of a healthy,
holistic life. One, take responsibility for you own health.
Two, educate youself about your options (there are always
options). Three, make an educated choice and take full
responsibility for that choice. Four, (I know I said three)
don't blindly trust us or anyone else!
When it comes to the safety of the Colon Cleansing Kit.
This is what we know. Over 10,000 people have now done
our Colon Cleansing Kit. We offer a satisfaction guarantee
and just under 2% return the Colon Cleansing Kit to us.
Some people return the kit because they didn't get the
results they wanted and others complain of cleansing reactions
such as: headaches, bloated feelings, constipation, abdominal
pain and sore eyes. Cleansing reactions are part of cleansing
and are not the same as "side effects" normaly associated
with medication. These cleansing reactions are regarded
by those experienced with cleansing as the body dealing
with whatever it is releasing during the cleanse. That
said, if you experience anything you are not comfortable
with during the cleanse you should stop immediately and
only continue with the supervision of a holistic practitioner
who is familiar with cleansing. The herbs in the kit have
been safely used for hundreds of years and observational
data suggest the Colon Cleansing Kit is safe when used
as directed. Again you're the one putting it in your body.
Take that responsibility.
Part Two: Observational data supporting colon cleansing.
When it come to these thick, dark and rubbery bowel movements produced
by our Colon Cleansing Kit, and a few other programs, we don't know what
they are in scientific terms. In observational and experiencial terms
a substantial amount is known. That is what I am going to share with
you now.
Below is an excerpt from Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel
Management, (Escondido, CA: Bernard Jensen,
D.C., 1980), by Dr. Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D. Bernard Jensen is one of the pioneers of using colon
cleansing to improve a person's quality of life. If you buy
this book there are some amazing stories of things he saw
accomplished through colon cleansing and removing this rubbery
matter. In fact it was out of this book that my dad made
my mom her first "colema board" over twenty-five years ago.
You can buy this book on amazon.com and some large bookstores.
"
The heavy mucus coating in the colon thickens and becomes
a host of putrefaction. The blood capillaries to the colon
begin to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as
it seeps through the bowel wall. All tissues and organs of
the body are now taking on toxic substances. Here is the
beginning of true autointoxication on a physiological level.
One autopsy revealed a colon to be 9 inches in diameter with
a passage through it no larger than a pencil. The rest was
caked up layer upon layer of encrusted fecal material. This
accumulation can have the consistency of truck tire rubber.
It's that hard and black. Another autopsy revealed a stagnant
colon to weigh in at an incredible 40 pounds."
Another leader in cleansing is Dr. Richard Anderson, ND,
N.M.D Dr. Anderson has also written two books on cleansing
which can also be purchased at Amazon.com or most large bookstores.
He also has tremendous personal experience with colon cleansing
and conveys much of this in his two books: Cleanse and
Purify Thyself Volume 1 & 2.
In an internet article on "colon plaque" he says:
The phrase, "mucoid plaque," is a coined term that I use
to describe various conditions found throughout the body,
especially in hollow organs and the alimentary canal. It
is a substance that the body naturally creates under unnatural
conditions, such as attack from acids, drugs, heavy metals,
and toxic chemicals.
The experience of colon cleansing by Martha Volchok,
AHG. "...I observed all of my bowel movements and studied
them as a scientist would. After my first cleanse, I got
out just what Dr. Jensen showed in his book, Tissue Cleansing
through Bowel Management. Not only that, but popcorn kernels
came out and I hadn't eaten any popcorn in years! Having
something come out after all those years, gave me more faith
in Dr. Jensen's work. I reasoned that if the popcorn was
that old, how old was the rest of the stuff coming out? Surely
some of it was from that same time period.
I understand even more, now, after years of observing the
material that comes out whenever I do colon cleansing. I
have observed that the material coming out now has become
progressively lighter, less smelly, and of a consistent texture;
rather than initial dark, hard, rubbery, foul smelling stuff.
There was time when I would see some chunks of the hard rubbery
stuff mixed in with the type of stuff I see today. Whenever
I do my yearly cleanse now, I see clearly the striations
on the outside of stool that reflect the same indentations
from different parts of the intestinal wall; both small and
large (colon). Could this be an actual thin layer that had
accumulated directly on the intestinal lining? These markings
are never present on my everyday bowel movements. The stool
from my colon cleanse has a thin, outer layer that is decidedly
a different, deeper color than the inside of the stool. It
is also much firmer and cannot be pulled apart; whereas the
inner portion of the stool looks remarkably like the Toxin
Absorber drink and it is possible to pull apart easily (see
photo)." (read full article here)
Part Three: The other view on colon cleansing.
There are many doctors who say there is no buildup in the intestines
and colon cleansing is a complete hoax. I feel their point of view is
valuable and you should be exposed to other opions. I know this information
and I still do colon cleansing. Your decision is yours for you to make.
The following is a quote from Quackwatch.com saying that "mucoid
plaque" doesn't exist:
"I have seen several thousand intestinal biopsies and
have never seen any "mucoid plaque." This is a complete fabrication
with no anatomic basis. The small and large intestines normally
secrete mucus for lubrication, but it does not form into
any type of 'plaque'." (find site here: www.quackwatch.org)
Dr. Richard Anderson's responds to such statements in his
book Cleanse & Purify Thyself: Book Two, (Mt.
Shasta, CA: Christobe Publishing, 1998), page 88-89:
"Surgeons and regular doctors are not trained in the subject
of mucoid plaque and therefore remain unaware of this important
bowel condition. The mucoid plaque is usually less than one-fourth
of an inch in many areas of the bowel (except in heavy meat
and dairy eaters). It usually develops from a semi-transparent
liquid solution (mucin) and may look like it is part of the
intestinal wall itself as it takes on the exact shapes, striations,
and bulges of the intestinal wall. Until the mucoid plaque
begins to mix with fecal matter, it's colon and texture may
appear similar to healthy bowel mucosa. Unless one knows
what they are looking for, it may be difficult to identify,
especially by sight. Therefore, to doctors using endoscopy
and to surgeons, it is unnoticeable unless they are familiar
with the many different appearances mucoid plaque may have."
You may have seen the following quote on other colon cleansing
sites. In fact we once had it on our own site before I realized
the information on John Wayne and Elvis was probably false:
The following was reported in January 11, 1999 issue
of USA Today: "Most people who eat the standard American 'goo and glue'
diet have about 5-10 pounds of matter stored in the colon.
It's said that, according to the autopsy, John Wayne had
40 pounds of impacted fecal matter in his body at death.
Elvis reportedly had 60 pounds."
This quote has drawn a large amount of negetive attention
to colon cleansing on the internet (example view: http://www.snopes.com/toxins/fecal.htm). I tried
researching it and found that the information on John Wayne
and Elvis is very hard to verify and is most likely false.
I was able to find the complete article from the USA Today
and the quote was part of an article talking about the journalist
experience at a health spa. Someone at the spa told her that
information and she quoted it in her article. I think it
is unfortunate that so many sites in their enthusiasm to
prove the benefits of colon cleansing grab such information
without verifying the source. Even I was guilty of this.
In hindsight I see this reflects poorly on what we do know
and the real experiences of people who have done colon cleansing.
The fact is colon cleansing is not widely accepted by the
medical profession and I think it's OK to share that with
consumers. I think this gives more validity to the experiences
we do know. Again I'll say it is critical thinking that is
the key to holistic health. It is not accepting what someone
else proved or disproved.
If you want to know more about colon cleansing and the many
benefits experienced by thousands of people I suggest you
read Cleanse & Purify Thyself: Book Two, by Dr.
Richard Anderson and also Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel
Management by Dr. Bernard Jensen.
