The practice of taking castor oil
to flush the guts (usually the lower intestines including the
large intestines and the colon) has been done for
generations. My mother and my father in law regularly
drink small amounts of castor oil on a "prn" or on an as
needed basis.
Few people understand the necessity of
keeping their intestines clean. They bathe daily to
keep their skin and hair clean, they wash their clothes
and linens or get them cleaned regularly, they make sure
their carpets are clean, they'll get everything external
to them cleaned, but they forgot and overlooked to clean
their internal organ, especially their intestines, which is
very important to their health.
When we eat food
we hope that the bulk or majority of the foods that we swallow
goes through our digestive system and comes out from the other
end of our alimentary canal the next day. Well, that
doesn't always happened. Some of the food that we eat may
still sit in our intestines for days or weeks, perhaps up
high in our intestines. If the bulk of the foods that we eat
do not get expelled regularly from our intestines and remained
there for days or weeks, after the nutrients have been
absorbed during the earlier process of digestion and
absorption, what remained there will be toxic waste because of
bacterial action, fermentations and other wasteful and toxic
chemical reactions.
Don't forget that the function of our stomach, and the
intestines is not only to digest the foods that we eat, but
also to absorb what we eat and whatever waste products
that still remains in the intestines.
That's why it is
so important that we keep our intestines clean so that our
body doesn't absorb the waste products that accumulate
from foods that we ate that now have turned into toxic
waste "hiding" in parts of our intestines for days, weeks
or months.
One way to keep your intestines clean is do
what my father in law did, take castor oil. But if you are a
diabetic or have other medical conditions and/or are taking
certain medications you must consult with your health care
provider before deciding to take castor oil. Another
simple good way of keeping your intestines clean is by taking
psyllium seeds (fiber) or eating plenty of foods that are high
in fiber. But don't forget to drink lots of fluids also,
preferably clear purified water.
I wish you
well.
