we were talking earlier about the colon, Ema asks if a person’s colon has been distorted over time, will the colon go back to it’s normal shape on a raw food diet?
Dr. Brian Clement from Hippocrates Health Institute: unfortunately, I can never say normal. If you stretch a balloon, it will never look like it did before you stretched it. But on the other hand, will it get back to functionality? Yes. Will it be perfect functionality? Probably not. But great functionality, good enough functionality? Yes.
Some people are different than others. One of the misnomers is that people who eat horrible food have the worst colons. Not so. I’ve seen obese people who eat nothing but junkfood, they’re anatomical organ we call the large intestine happens to be in relatively good shape. I see someone who didn’t eat the worst food, they’re thin, you suspect they’re good, they had a colon that wasn’t anatomically strong.
You have an inherent weak or strong colon to begin with or maybe a moderate colon. I think I had a moderate that I made weak, that’s easier to do. If you have a strong, you’ll have a moderate one.
Eating right, flushing it out, eating the adequate amounts of roughage, the high fluid food that we call raw living food. All of that is going to make it normal over the years, not the months. Putting probiotics in. putting prebiotics in. chewing, chewing, chewing.
This is a mantra for me because I still don’t do it well enough. Chew, chew, chew, chew. The more you chew the easier it is to get that colon to function and the small intestine and everything else, the more nutrition you’re going to get out of the food.
