We left off with a short introduction to the benefits of the Detox Drop on your LIVER and now we shift to the COLON. Why? To only cleanse the liver would not be enough. At the very least you want to take a double-action approach can cleanse both the liver and the colon.

If for instance, you only cleanse the liver, you would indeed remove some of the toxins and waste products including drug residues from pharmaceutical products you have taken over the years from your liver, but guess what? Your colon needs cleansing also.

The way I look at it is that to cleanse and detoxify your LIVER is like making over your kitchen. You may have the new cabinets, pantry, counter tops and appliances -- But, imagine after all you have gone through to make over your kitchen – you don’t take out the garbage or sweep the kitchen floor?  I’m sure you’d agree that it only makes sense to take out the garbage and sweep the kitchen floor, and that’s why we want to cleanse our colons as well.  

With the Detox Drop you are also cleansing and detoxifying your colon. See, over time, as our colon ages, the colon has a harder time doing its job, and the entire digestive process can be thrown off by any number of little things. By cleansing and detoxifying your colon you give it the chance to rebuild itself, and return to proper functioning.

By cleansing and detoxifying, you help break up and remove impacted waste, eliminate toxins, mucous, and parasites from your colon. And if you are not sure if you could benefit from cleansing and detoxifying your colon – aside from helping to boost your metabolism and reduce your waistline – consider such symptoms of an impacted colon as:

• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Gas and bloating
• Frequent infections (such as colds and flu’s)
• Skin problems (such as acne and eczema)
• Depression
• Irritability
• Colitis
• Irritable bowel syndrome (also known as IBS)
• PMS (or premenstrual syndrome)
• Parasites and tapeworms
• Allergies
• And Diverticulitis

In addition to the relief of benefits that come about because of colon cleansing – regular colon cleansing aids in helping waste pass quickly and efficiently through the system, preventing or alleviating the development of constipation.

When people ask me why so much focus on the colon, I simply share with them that by cleansing and detoxifying your colon you can improve so many conditions because your colon is the center of your health. Everything you eat comes in through your mouth and has to pass through the colon. If your digestive process is not working well, it has an impact on the entire body.

In part 3 of this 5 part series I’ll be sharing insight into how I’ve used the Detox Drop to help elite professional boxers lose large amounts of weight without losing strength. As well, you will learn why the Detox Drop is a way to lose weight healthfully.

I created the Detox Drop for five main reasons: jump start healthy FAT LOSS, rid your body of POLLUTANTS AND PARASITES, boost IMMUNE system and detoxify the LIVER and COLON. In this five-part series I want to share insight with you on these key reasons beginning with the liver.

An Unhealthy Liver
An unhealthy liver can be the cause of numerous chronic illnesses and disorders to include serious fatigue, weight gain, water retention, and a host of other health woes -- whereas a healthy liver equates to an increase in energy, accelerated metabolism, and helps you burn off excess fat.

You may be surprised to know that the liver is one of the most neglected and disregarded organs in our body. Yet, it is vital in the process of protecting us from the toxins we are confronted with everyday. DID YOU KNOW that the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that half-a-million chemicals are in use today, and over five thousand new chemicals are introduced yearly?

In today’s world, our liver – all of our organs, in fact – are at great risk of contamination from environmental toxins and over-processed foods infused with many unnatural chemicals. And because we live in our environment, unless we stop breathing and wear a protective suit – the best way to protect ourselves is to take care of ourselves. And that includes taking the time to cleanse the organ that cleanses our body so that we can not only be lean and healthy on the outside, but also on the inside.

Most people know that our skin is our body’s largest organ. Well, what do you think is the largest internal organ in the human body? You guessed right. Weighing in at 3 to 4 pounds on the scale, the liver is the largest internal organ in the human body.

This complex and unique organ not only makes up a significant part of our lean body mass – it serves hundreds of functions that are crucial to sustaining life. From filtering our blood to purifying and clearing waste products, toxins, and drugs to metabolizing fats, proteins and carbohydrates… the liver is The Great Chemical Factory that is constantly processing blood for use by the rest of our body.

To cleanse and detoxify your liver is one of the most powerful procedures you can do to enhance your body’s overall performance. And as a result of tuning up your liver, you can significantly improve digestion, regularity, food transit time, and energy levels, which is the basis of your health.

In part two of this series I will touch on the Detox Drop's benefits to your colon.
