Toxins leak out from colon
The toxic by products of putrefaction and fermentation of
undigested food create an environment that is lethal to beneficial
bacteria. Toxins also destroy the protective mucus your colon walls
are lined with.
As more and more undigested food enters your colon, some of it
gets stuck to the mucus on your colon walls. Little by little the
diameter of your colon is reduced and it takes longer for food and
faeces to pass through. This gives more time for harmful bacteria to
create havoc.
Underneath the protective mucus your colon walls are lined with
blood and lymphatic vessels. In healthy colon these vessels pick up
nutrients that are passed through by beneficial bacteria.
Toxins, harmful bacteria and parasites in your colon damage the
protective layer of mucus. Before long they destroy this protective
wall exposing the blood and lymph vessels underneath it.
Now you have what is called the leaky gut syndrome. Pathological
bacteria and toxins can enter your body through the exposed blood
and lymph vessels.
You body has to protect itself
Blood and lymph carries these toxins to your liver and kidneys to
neutralise. Unfortunately your liver and kidneys can only handle so
many toxins. If this toxic cycle is allowed to continue their capacity
will be reached.
Your body does everything it can to protect itself from these toxins.
If your body would allow these toxins to roam freely they would
cause serious damage to your organs and eventually kill you.
Since your body’s primary elimination mechanisms (liver and
kidneys) are fully utilised it has to turn to secondary elimination
mechanism (skin and lungs). Now all those toxins that your liver
and kidneys can't neutralise are pushed through your skin and lungs.
Your body also stores these toxins into your fat cells, joints,
muscles and bones. By capturing the toxins into these cells your
body ensures that those toxins can't harm you.
