The Robert Gray Intestinal Cleansing Program™

Healthy lactobacteria versus harmful bacteria Unhealthy foods and eating habits lead to a depletion of healthy bacteria. When this takes place, the distress of small, hard, scanty, difficult to pass or infrequent stools may register itself, as well as seemingly unrelated effects caused by toxins from harmful micro-organisms circulating throughout the body. Few people have ever experienced the state of health possible when a truly abundant intestinal population of healthy bacteria is present.	A normal colon
The Robert Gray Program embodies what its developer insists to be the most significant breakthrough to date for maintaining a healthy population of lactobacteria in one's intestinal tract. Healthy bacteria are difficult to implant. Therefore, even if the existing ones are few, it is better to have them multiply in large numbers than to use bacterial supplementation, because the existing lactobacteria are already adapted and implanted. Based on this reasoning, Robert Gray developed his formula which stimulates the friendly bacteria to multiply. So you can cleanse and promote healthy bacteria at the same time. Intestinal cleansing - the easy way Through the ages, many cultures have used techniques designed for intestinal cleansing. Such programs involved fasting, enemas, and other procedures. They depleted one's system of health-enhancing bacteria, and were often harsh and uncomfortable in their effect upon the body.	A colon packed with stagnant waste material
Robert Gray's program is a giant step forward in the long history of intestinal cleansing. It took nine years to develop and is a comprehensive, gentle, effective method which people can follow easily with a minimum effort.	A colon filled with gases

Detoxification and Cleansing

Detoxification and cleansing is the key to optimal health, more energy, vitality and a better immune system. Only a clean body is able to absorb vitamins and minerals on an optimum. A dirty body cannot carry out its proper functions, it is cluttered or buried up with waste products.

MOST PEOPLE ARE CONSTIPATED

How most body problems get started One type of constipation is present when the feces that pass from the body are overly packed together. Another type of constipation is present, when old, hardened feces stick to the walls of the bowel and do not pass out with the regular bowel movements. Both types of constipation are so common among the members of modern society today, that scarcely anybody recognizes them as being unnatural. More than 90% of every man, woman and child living in Great Britain believe that their constipated bowel movements are normal stools! The average person has up to 10-12 pounds weight of waste matter stuck in the inner walls of the colon. Old fecal matter may build up in pockets and they may coat the entire length of the colon and the small intestines as well. They do not pass from the body with ordinary bowel movements but require special techniques to dissolve the glue which binds them in the body. Toxins (poisons) pass easily into the blood stream from putrefying deposits in the colon, contributing to many illnesses and lowering the overall efficiency of the body. Most of the (unhealthy) foods eaten today form mucous (slimy) substances in the whole intestinal tract. These mucous substances accumulate into a build-up of stagnant matter in the intestines. Stagnant matter can block proper elimination, inhibit proper absorption of nutrients and serve as a breeding ground for germs and parasites. The result is a pollution of blood and lymph and thereby a poisoning of the entire system.

LAXATIVES - NOT THE ANSWER

Laxatives merely stimulate the bowel to move. Most operate by irritating the colon, causing the bowels to move until the laxative, together with anything else free enough to flow out, is expelled. There is, however, no specific attempt to expel anything older than the laxative itself.

Once a laxative has passed through the colon, the bowels will still be just as sluggish as ever. Nothing will here be done to remove the accumulation of old feces within the colon. If using laxatives has any enduring effects, they are to weaken the colon from irritation and over stimulation and to cause the body to develop a dependency upon their use .CHRONIC DIARRHEA

Chronic Diarrhea

Is most often due to the presence of irritation in the colon. As long as the irritation influence is present, the colon attempts to expel it by repeatedly emptying itself of whatever can be forced out. In chronic diarrhea, the accumulation of stagnant mucoid, sometimes laden with harmful bacteria or even parasites, is generally of such a magnitude and nature as to be actively irritating. In this case, the source of irritation adheres to the walls of the colon and cannot be expelled. The result is chronic diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea will often respond remarkably to an effective colon cleansing program.

PARASITES

The discussion of diarrhea rings up the question of parasites because chronic diarrhea is often due to the presence of parasites in the system. Intestinal parasites thrive in filthy environments. The many varieties of intestinal worms lodge themselves in the old matter that encrusts the walls of the intestinal tract. Without the presence of stagnant material to embed themselves in, many intestinal parasites cannot maintain a foothold in the body. Remove this old, putrid, decaying mucoid matter and you will flush these parasites out as well.

THE BENEFITS OF GASTROINTESTINAL AND LYMPHATIC CLEANSING

Mucoid material tends to accumulate throughout the alimentary or gastrointestinal tract, which extends from the oesophagus to the anus. Although the colon is the principal location where mucoid matter accumulates, the walls of the stomach and small intestines do accumulate old mucoid matter as well. Gastrointestinal cleansing cleanses not only the colon but the entire alimentary tract. The accumulation of old faeces in the colon can and does stretch it and sometimes related body structures out of shape in a number of ways. X-rays studies clearly show that, as the colon fills up with old faeces, it becomes badly deformed with respect of both its original shape and positioning. When the colon is ballooned, so much old faeces may be present that a sacculation has three to four times its proper cross-sectional diameter with only a small channel through which material may pass.

A badly ballooned colon may create so much pressure within the abdomen that part of the gastrointestinal tract protrudes through its normal location within the abdominal wall. Such a protrusion is called a hernia.

In a collapsed colon, one or more sacculations closes in upon itself due to lack of muscle tone in the colon wall.

In a spastic colon, one or more sacculations are in a constant state of contraction.

Where the colon is either collapsed or spastic, it may have one third or less of its proper cross-sectional diameter.

In a prolapsed colon, the transverse colon droops or sags. Many times the prolapsus will be advanced enough to put pressure on the bladder, uterus, or prostate, causing trouble in one or more of these organs also.

In diverticulitis, the colon wall develops a small outpouching or diverticulum that becomes inflamed. In diverticulosis, many diverticula are present in the colon.

Hemorrhoids are swellings formed by varicose veins at the anus. All mechanical abnormalities of the colon and related body structures ballooned colon, hernia, collapsed colon, spastic colon, prolapsed colon, redundant colon, diverticulitis, and diverticulosis - begin with a toxic condition present in the colon. Colon cleansing is the first and most important step when using natural methods to help the body overcome these problems.

Even after the colon is cleansed, a proper diet and many years are necessary for the colon to regain its proper shape, positioning, and tone.

In many cases, colon cleansing alone may be sufficient to end any disturbing symptoms due to mechanical abnormalities.

NUTRIENT ABSORPTION

The accumulation of mucoid material along the walls of the small intestines can interfere with nutrient absorption even though nutritional intake may be adequate. A person may experience some improvements in physical well being by supplementing his or her diet with concentrated proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. The improvement is usually relatively short-lived because, except for yeast and spirulina plankton, all of the protein supplements on the market today are highly mucoid forming.

Removing the accumulation of material lining the alimentary tract, the body will be able to function as designed, utilizing the nutrients available from whole foods alone! Improving nutrient absorption is much more effective than taking all the known nutrients in supplement form. It is common for a person who has performed the gastrointestinal cleansing program by Robert Gray to notice that he or she is then able to eat lighter, more easily digestible foods and smaller quantities of food while feeling more completely satisfied than before.

AUTOINTOXICATION

Autointoxication is the process whereby the body literally poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool which can contain as high a concentration of harmful bacteria as a cesspool under a house. The toxins released by the decay process get into the bloodstream and travel to all parts of the body. Every cell in the body gets affected, and many forms of sickness can result. Because it weakens the entire system, autointoxication can be a causative factor for nearly any disease.

PUTREFACTION

The cause of autointoxication is putrefaction within the intestinal tract. Putrefaction is a process of decay in which foul odours and toxic substances are generated. Ideally, there should be little or no putrefaction happening within the body. That is, daily bowel movements should have very little of no putrefactive odour, and there should be no stagnant putrefactive material within the alimentary tract.

STAGNATION

Stagnation is the failure of matter in the alimentary tract to continue moving until expelled through the anus. When material becomes lodged in the alimentary tract, it can continue to putrefy and release toxins for weeks. Stagnation occurs primarily in the colon and is usually the body's largest contributor to putrefaction and the consequent autointoxication. The primary objective of colon cleansing is to remove stagnant material from the colon and entire alimentary tract. Doing so will sizably reduce putrefaction and autointoxication within the system.

COLON CLEANSING ALWAYS NECESSARY

There are many vegetarians who felt that, because so many years have elapsed since they ate meat, their colons must be relatively free of putrefactive wastes. These people should understand that any food, including fruit, will putrefy if held in the body long enough. What causes food residues to be held in the body is the presence of mucoid matter. As mucoid matter is dehydrated in the colon, it turns into a sticky, glue like substance that tends to hold the residues of all food eaten within the body. You can eat all the fruits and vegetables you want, but if you also eat even relatively small quantities of dairy products, tofu, white flour products and other mucoid forming foods, the accumulation of putrefactive wastes in the colon will continue.

The most hardened and intractable substances present in the colon, however are the post-putrefactive faeces which have finished putrefying as much as they ever will. These cannot be removed by diet alone. Even after many years on a non-mucoid forming diet, one will still be holding large amounts of old, hardened post-putrefactive faeces in the colon.

The author is not advocating that everyone eat a totally non-mucoid forming diet. It is commendable if you do, but most people do not.

LYMPH DETOXIFICATION

When waste material leaves the body cells, it is carried away by the two circulating body fluids, namely, the blood and the lymph. The lymph is formed out of the blood but contains no red blood cells. Each cell in the body is bathed by the intestinal fluid, which consists of materials from the bloodstream together with substances passed out of the cells.

Because the lymphatic system carries away toxins from all body cells, its proper functioning is important to the health of the entire body.

It is the author's belief that the colon is the principal organ through which mucoid matter from the lymph is eliminated, even though this idea would be quite new in orthodox medical circles.

The science of anatomy reveals that the walls of the colon contain microscopic lymph vessels which combine into larger vessels that empty into cisterna chyli, which is a central lymphatic pool located in the abdomen. Lymph from the small intestines, back, or lower body also empties into the cisterna chyli. The Cisterna chyli is the origin of the thoracic duct, which travels up the body and connects with the bloodstream slightly below and the left of the base of the neck. Through the thoracic duct, lymph from all parts of the body, except the right side of the head, neck and chest and upper right arm, empty into the bloodstream.
