Although the colon plays several roles in the body in aiding proper digestion, its primary role is extracting water from the feces that your body builds up in the course of consuming food and water throughout the day. Most of what you consume is absorbed before it reaches the large intestine, but what is not absorbed is left for the colon, whose duty is to flush from the body the remaining nutrients.
While the colon and its several partsi.e. caecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid and rectumalmost always does its job properly in flushing from the body waste, it occasionally falters. Toxins and chemicals in our food, occasionally, are such that they cannot be broken down along the winding course in our digestive system. These undigested toxins are stored in the colon, never being excreted, thus adversely affecting how the body absorbs essential nutrients due to the build up and blockage of these indigestibles. Constipation often results from said build up, leading to other potentially harmful diseases. It is no wonder, then, that doctors advise people (men, in particular) to make an appointment with their physician for a colonoscopy as they get older.
There are several things one can do to avoid long-term problems that result from build-up inside the colon. The aforementioned colonoscopy, while invasive, is perhaps the most effective way in which to ensure there is no build-up on the colorectal walls. Other methods include following a diet rich in fiber, limiting alcohol consumption and exercising regularly.
Another way to help cleanse the body of excess fecal build-up in the colon is through a process called colon cleansing. By using a series of natural herbs, the body is able to cleanse itself of this excess build up, flushing away dangerous toxins in the body that could lead to diseases like Crohns Disease, Colon Cancer and Diverticulitis.

I had no clue that having an unclean colon could lead to Crohn’s, Diverticulitis, or even cancer.
I just started on a colon cleanser program and I am starting to feel better and see some results, but I had no idea that it could lead to such serious diseases.

First of all, the reason a colonscopy is done is NOT to check buildup along the wall of the colon. How do I know this? Because my husband had to drink a prescription medication that cleans out the colon so no fecal matter gets in the way of the view of the camera.
Really, I have had 4 and colon cancer.
My husband had ulcerative colitis with symptoms of Crohn’s. He had four colonoscopies as well. My point is simply in relation to having colon cleansings. Checking for disease of the colon is far different than checking for this so called build up. I’ve done the research and doctors say that this so called build up of feces in the colon does not exist. Where is your research that having colon cleansings will prevent cancer and colitis/Crohns? In fact, there are warnings on the colon cleansers themselves saying that if you have colon cancer, colitis, Crohn’s, or an irritable bowel syndrome then you should never undergo a colon cleansing. So in fact, if one unknowingly suffers from any of these diseases, a colon cleansing will make their condition worse and obviously prevent nothing! Your claims on your blog are not backed up by any solid research, nor is the source of your research even given. To tall people that colon cleasenings may prevent them from getting these serious diseases is just irresponsible. Colitis/Crohn’s researchers themselves do not claim to understand why the diseases exist, so to claim that they can be prevented by colon cleansings is just outrageous.

Crohn’s and a related disease, ulcerative colitis, are the two main disease categories that belong to a larger group of illnesses called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Because the symptoms of these two illnesses are so similar, it is sometimes difficult to establish the diagnosis definitively. In fact, approximately 10 percent of colitis cases are unable to be pinpointed as either ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease and are called indeterminate colitis.
Both illnesses do have one strong feature in common. They are marked by an abnormal response by the body’s immune system. The immune system is composed of various cells and proteins. Normally, these protect the body from infection. In people with Crohn’s disease, however, the immune system reacts inappropriately. Researchers believe that the immune system mistakes microbes, such as bacteria that is normally found in the intestines, for foreign or invading substances, and launches an attack.
