The colon is one part of the body that comes in direct contact with all kinds of harmful substances in the body but it is also a reservoir of some of the most beneficial bacteria that the body requires. These anaerobic bacteria ensure the proper digestion of fiber and other food stuffs that the body cannot otherwise digest on its own and colon cleansing manages to kill of these bacteria as well.
This means that those of us who wish to use colon cleansing because it has been taught to us as being beneficial from our homes must do so with care and attention because the worst thing to happen with this treatment is the increase in electrolyte deficiency and eventually dehydration and high blood pressure. In fact, those who have heart conditions and are prone to sugar imbalances should refrain from carrying out colon cleansing as they will immediately feel its effects.
