With regard to our proposal for the Natural Treatment for Diabetes, it is worth mentioning what Dr. Luis César Guedes holds, namely:
The imperious need that cannot be postponed is that of detoxifying one's organism, intestinal normalization being the essential step in cleaning it.

To achieve the above step it is necessary to be correctly informed and disciplined and possess sufficient willpower, especially at the beginning of the treatment. After that, good habits and nutrition will do the rest. Thus, Dr Guedes upholds Dr Bernard Jensen´s proposal on Colema as a forced cleansing method for the intestine for the direct treatment of diagnosed diseases.


COLEMA: INTESTINAL CLEANSING
Dr Bernard Jensen's method aims to detoxify, cause weight loss and lead to body rejuvenation.


TISSUE CLEANSING
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Before explaining what the Colema treatment consists of, it is important to mention some basic principles, unfortunately not widely known, about how important it is for our health that the vital organs of our body work properly. The intestine is one of these, possibly the most important one, because all the tissues, glands and organs depend on it, as shown below.

This knowledge is essential to understand and fully appreciate the meaning of detoxification, the cleansing and rejuvenation of the body and its effects on food assimilation, the boosting of life energy and the development of a new awareness of one's physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

A wrong principle and its consequences
For some time now there has been a general idea that there is no need to give any special care to the intestine. "Leave it alone, and it will take care of itself. It is an unpleasant and dirty topic of conversation." However, nothing could be farther from the truth. The former attitude has fostered the wrong idea about this organ's function and hygiene, leading to serious consequences for many people who suffer from intestinal problems.

When an intestinal problem presents, a doctor faces one of the most common, serious and difficult to correct disorders.
Clinical practice teaches that no ill person is free from intestinal disorder, no matter what his or her disease. Besides, the person is tired, full of toxins and feels worn out. For this reason, nothing could be more effective than taking good care of the intestine to combat the patient's disease and make the patient feel healthy again.

The good functioning of this organ is a prior and essential condition to maintain good health and, if the person is ill, to overcome the illness. Without this prior requirement, no treatment will have potential value. The "sewage system" should work properly, or the organism will remain buried in putrefying substances that stimulate the disease process and prevent health reconstitution.

The origin of our problems
The further away we move from Nature and the more we depend on artificial factors, the greater the frequency and intensity of our disorders and diseases. People living in the country do not suffer from diverticulitis. On the other hand, people from developed countries, mainly from major cities, suffer all the most serious intestinal problems.

Aside from the above, processed food lacks vitamins and natural fibers. It is dry, sticky and heavy. It is not suitable for fluid intestinal passage and tends to stick firmly to the colon walls, being very difficult to eliminate. Following such a diet will lead any person to a series of disorders as from an early age.

When the "sewage system" does not work properly, every body cell feels the accumulation or "overload" of toxic wastes. Thus, the organism starts to slump and feels unhealthy, as a consequence of its worst enemy: self-intoxication.

It is useless to try to cure a disease if one's organism lacks a good waste elimination or disposal system.

The heavy layer of mucosa that covers the colon gets thicker, turning itself into the host body for putrefaction. The blood vessels of this organ absorb toxins, poisons and other waste instead of nutrients from the intestinal walls, and the bloodstream carries them to all the tissues and organs of the body. This is how the actual self-intoxication process starts.

Ignoring the need of a bowel movement will lead to constipation. Laxatives that help to make defecation easier are irritant substances that stimulate the colon's muscular walls to contract and cause the expulsion of fecal matter. It is very easy to become dependent on this medicine that damages normal intestinal function.

Caring for the nervous system
Other factors to be taken into account with regard to self-intoxication are everyday stress and strain. To deal with these we require extra nutrients, not provided by ordinary food. Thus, a vicious circle is created that can lead to the weakening and death of vital tissues from lack of nourishment, as can happen in the case of the nervous system .

Lack of energy, tiredness, irritability, insufficient rest, fatigue, poor defenses and frequent illness, as well as some depression disorders, may all lead to self-intoxication. When the intestine is coated with fecal matter due to poor eating habits, absorption of vital nutrients is reduced. Besides, the accumulation of toxic mucosa on the intestinal walls turns into a harmful bacteria breeding ground that increases toxicity as reproduction takes place, resulting in inflammation and other more serious problems.

Unfortunately, we have forgotten the need for complete intestinal cleansing. Having bowel movements every two to three days is considered normal. However, scientific studies indicate that poor bowel movements lead to gallbladder disorders, heart problems, varicose veins, clots in deep veins, hernias, diverticulitis, arthritis and cancer of the colon.

The importance of fibers in a balanced diet
Scientific comparisons of eating habits, food and fecal matter have been made in England, Africa and India, indicating that people living in primitive conditions or with a diet rich in non-digestible natural fibers move their bowels four and a half times more than westerners.
It has also been proved that these people are relatively free from many of the studied diseases.
Research has also indicated that long periods of waste retention can lead to heart problems. When natural fibers are not included in one's diet, cholesterol levels go up and the organism is predisposed to artery and coronary disorders as well as to proliferation of cancer cells and tumors, due to biochemical changes related to poor intestinal elimination.

Constipation has been named the "modern plague" by some specialists, because it is the worst health risk these days. Intestinal toxemia and the resulting self-intoxication are direct consequences of constipation. Unless the person with this syndrome learns the art of living in awareness and acquires rational habits, he or she will eventually suffer different mental and physical adverse consequences.

Dr Bernard Jensen, creator of COLEMA says that it is better to have a gram of education than a kilogram of treatment. Being educated in health means promoting for oneself a refined culture of welfare, and a lifestyle in accordance with one's self-esteem and expectation of a long and meaningful life. At the same time, the prevention of the complaints that start at middle age is the best expression of wisdom, because the expression of our higher values of sensitivity and intelligence depend to a great extent on the integrity and strength of our vital organs.
