The Intestine as a Detox-Organ

What you need to know about the intestine and its function in the body

Intestinal cleansing, detox, and repair are very different procedures. One needs not only different tools, but also a basic understanding of what the intestine does and how it does it. Only then is it possible to understand why and when an intestinal cleasing, detox, or repair is necessary.

When talking about the body's organs, we are used to talking about the intestine, while actually referring to several very different body parts. Beginning at the stomach's pyloric sphincter, the small intestine is divided into the duodenem, jejunem, and illeum. The small intestine's task is to take the food already pre-digested by the stomach and break it down into the smallest possible particles, absorbing nutrients in a form usable to the body. The large intestine, approximately 1.5 meters in length, is connected to the end of the small intestine by a sphincter known as the illeocecal valve. The large intestine is responsible for removing liquid and various minerals from the digested food, and for solidifying the stool.

The intestine carries out the digestive process though muscle contraction, or peristalsis, and through beneficial bacteria. Over 100 trillion bacteria live and work in the small intestine alone, and these bacteria, along with certain microbes, make up our gut flora, which is important for digestion and for the body's immune system as well.

Certain bacteria train and stabilize the immune sytem by mobilizing immune cells in the intestinal lining, which are then sent from the intestine into the lymph, blood, respiratory tracts, glands, and skin to trigger the body's defense system. Other bacteria are able to destroy pathogens directly in the intestinal lining. In addition, the gut flora is able to break down vitamins into an absorbable form, thus preventing illness resulting from a vitamin deficiency.

Intestinal cleansing

is simple since it merely involves emptying the intestine and thereby temporarily removing toxins along with stool and gases. Intestinal cleansing can be stimulated using Epsom salt or Glauber salt, or more gently using bitters found in buckhorn bark, an active ingredient in, for example, Biologo-Colon. Intestinal cleansing is more a prophylactic than a therapeutic treatment, but in our modern way of life with too little exercise and too many calories, intestinal cleansing is still recommended three to four times a year, and should be proceeded by and concluded with a day of juice- or tea-diet. Individuals who take medications on a regular basis and whose intestinal tract is therefore subjected to the effects of chemical toxins, should undertake a day of fasting and intestinal cleasing once a month. Intestinal cleasing, in conjunction with a day of fasting, is also recommended when the immune system requires particular support, such as during cold season or when the individual is under unusual physical or emotional stress.

It is a good idea to cleanse the intestine regularly, since this can help prevent digestive disorders and avoid discomforts that accompany them, such as bloating and flatulence.

Detoxing the intestine

is more difficult than cleansing the intestine since, for example, mercury from amalgam fillings can attack the intestinal lining. The mucous membranes and tissues are often damaged by toxic heavy metals, causing disease patterns such as leaky-gut-syndrome, in which the intestine becomes too permeable, allowing toxins to spread throughout the body and cause allergies and food intolerances.

For a detox of the intestine, very special tools are necessary to release the toxins from the intestine and bind them. To thoroughly detox the intestine and acheive a lasting effect, it is no longer sufficient to merely flush heavy metals such as mercury or aluminium from the body. A modern, practical, and natural intestinal detox should also flush chemicals and mycotoxins from the intestinal tract. Today, chemicals are found in nearly all foods and medicines; mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites (e.g. from molds), which are also commonly found in foodstuffs such as spices.

The detox products of the Biologo-Detox-Line are ideally suited for intestinal detox since the micronized chlorella used in these products has been proven to effectively bind and remove heavy metals, chemicals, and mycotoxins from the intestine.

An intestinal detox, like an intestinal cleansing, should be performed regularly—twice a year for best results—since the toxic heavy metals in the intestine not only cause leaky-gut-syndrome, but also weaken the immune system. Furthermore, there is a direct correlation between heavy metals in the intestine and the propogation of candida fungi.

A fasting cure, even a medicinal one, cannot guarantee a complete intestinal detox. Fasting can, of course, help the organism and the intestine to recuperate and remove harmful deposits to a certain degree, but toxic heavy metals bound to the intestinal linings are not adequately removed. The products of the Biologo-Detox-Line are therefore well-suited for a complete detox of the intestine.

Repair and optimising function of the intestine is a difficult and generally long-term undertaking because a it may require a number of different steps using different procedures. In the case of leaky-gut-syndrome, repair is necessary involving a complete detox, a revitalization of the intestinal lining, and a re-propogation of the gut flora. It is also advisable to have any almagam dental fillings removed prior to commencing intestinal repair, since this often makes a complete repair possible in the first place.

An intestinal repair is recommended when suffering from irritable bowl syndrome, severe allergies, immune disorders, or inflammation. Individuals who regularly take antibiotics require intestinal repair with detoxing measures and a systematic propogation of the gut flora, which suffer damage from antibiotics.

Intestinal repair is also important for those suffering from candida fungi or parasites in the intestinal tract. In both cases, a detox is required, since both candida fungi and parasites release toxins into the body.

The Biologo-Detox-Line has the appropriate and effective detox products, as well as products necessary for intestinal repair, such as Biologo-Colon to efficiently flush out the intestine. Also useful is Biologo-Leaky Gut, which helps heal leaky-gut-syndrome, or Biologo-Candida, which halts the proliferation of candida fungi in the intestine and reduces them to normal levels.

There is more to the repair of the intestine, however, in particular the detox process. Biologo-Detox is indispensable as a detox aid for every intestinal repair for the following reasons:

1. Biolgo-Detox contains micronized chlorella algae is therefore 50 times stronger as a binding agent than normal chlorella algae.
2. Biologo-Detox contains cold-processed chlorella-growth-factor (CGF), which can make significant repairs to tissues damaged by toxins.
3. Biologo-Detox contains cell wall broken probiotics specially developed by Dr. Ray. The peptides of these probiotics remove heavy metals from cell receptors, thereby making a thorough detox possible.

Intestinal repair can and should treat or heal ailments. Intestinal repair also makes it possible to feel healthier, since both body and mind are invigorated following a rehabilitation. For this reason, optimising intestinal function is recommended at least once a year.
