    Cancer Trends Progress Report – 2007 Update

     

    Limited Fruit and Vegetable Consumption is a Cancer Risk

    People whose diets are rich in plant foods such as fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of getting cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, lung, and there is some suggested evidence for colon, pancreas, and prostate. They are also less likely to get diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. A diet high in fruits and vegetables helps to reduce calorie intake and may help to control weight.

    To help prevent these cancers and other chronic diseases, experts recommend 4 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, depending on energy needs. This includes 2 to 5 servings of fruits and 2 to 8 servings of vegetables, with special emphasis on dark-green and orange vegetables and legumes. There is no evidence that the popular white potato protects against cancer.

    Most Recent Estimates

    In 2003-2004, people aged 2 and older had, on average, 1.0 cup of fruit and 1.6 cups of vegetables, for a total of 2.6 cups of fruits and vegetables. Total vegetable servings included:

    • Dark-green/orange: 0.14 cups
    • Starchy: 0.45 cups (largely comprising fried potatoes)
    • Tomatoes and other vegetables: 0.88 cups

    Among racial and ethnic groups, Non-Hispanic Blacks had 2.3 total cups of fruits and vegetables per day, while Non-Hispanic Whites had 2.6 and Mexican-Americans had 2.9.

    Healthy People 2010 Targets

    At least two daily servings of fruits.

    At least three daily servings of vegetables, with at least one-third being dark-green/orange.

    (The Healthy People 2010 targets call for 75 percent of the population to consume the minimum servings of fruits and 50 percent to consume the minimum servings of vegetables. However, the minimum number of servings in these targets predates the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommend higher intakes.)

    Key Issues

    New dietary guidance released in 2005 recommended increased intake of fruits and vegetables based on evolving evidence of the benefit of eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. The average combined recommendation for fruits and vegetables of 10 servings (5 cups) is twice the level targeted by Healthy People 2010 and about twice the current average intake. Additional servings of fruits and vegetables should replace sources of "empty calories" in the diet, such as added sugars (honey, syrup, soft drinks) and solid fats (butter, sour cream), to avoid taking in too many calories. Individuals should be especially encouraged to consume dark green/orange varieties of vegetab

  • After a few uses you will start to become familiar with how your body reacts to Colosan, and develop more control. You will literally start to feel lighter and more in touch with that area. If you give it a chance, you will find Colosan is one of the best friends a person can have and you will start to look at it that way.

    Nature designed the intestines with a maximum amount of surface area to facilitate the absorption of nutrients. If that membrane is clogged and impacted nutrient assimilation is impaired. If you’re not getting what you need from what you eat your brain tells you to eat more.

    Imagine that. Colosan does dramatically improve absorption of nutrients by cleaning the surfaces of the intestines. Individuals that need to gain weight or have difficulty maintaining their weight because of malabsorption problems benefit greatly.

    Heavy people develop a tremendous loyalty to Colosan because it is a quick way to dump a few extra unnecessary pounds and helps reduce cravings. Many chronic fatigue and Candida sufferers rave about Colosan, saying that it is the only thing that brings them claming relief from bouts of severe malaise and toxicity.

    Healthy people rely on Colosan for keeping their plumbing as clean as they can keep their car, their cloths and their kitchen. It is often the first thing they resort to when not feeling well or when they feel a bug coming on.

    It is okay to experiment a little with the size of the doses and times convenient for taking Colosan. You can take less than a teaspoon if it is difficult for you, since a little is better than none, though a rounded teaspoon is best. For extended use, one may want to pay attention to maintaining the balance of electrolytes, as with any intestinal cleanse.

    Consider following your cleanse with Aloe Vera juice and stabilized oxygen to further help restore intestines to optimal function, cleanse the body of toxins, unfriendly bacteria, parasites, viruses, and boost all immune systems functions for a total rejuvenation. For maximum nutrient uptake, proper colon hygiene and a clean aerobic feeling Colosan.

  • Optimal way to take Colosan

    The instructions on the bottle say to put one teaspoon of Colosan in an eight to twelve ounce glass of water, stir thoroughly and drink. Then, in the same glass, squeeze the juice of one half lemon or pour one ounce of apple cider vinegar and drink that.

    There is no flavor to Colosan, but it does have a chalky taste. Here’s a tip for big babies. Add some water and a dash of honey to the lemon juice. This "lemonade" will wash out the chalky taste. The lemon or vinegar will assist the hydrochloric acid in your stomach in liberating the oxygen from the Colosan.

    It is important to take Colosan on an empty stomach and wait an hour and a half before eating anything else. Colosan can be taken 2, 3 or more times a day for an initial cleansing period of 4 to 7 days.

    After the initial cleansing period, Colosan can be taken once or twice weekly for maintenance. In general it breaks down that men take Colosan once a week and women prefer to take it twice weekly. There is an informal Colosan Club of people who take it every Monday morning to atone for what they have done over the weekend. We call it "The Push".

    Most people find it practical to take Colosan at 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. or when they first wake up.

    Another convenient time is around five or six in the afternoon when the typical individual gets home from a day’s activity. At this time of day the stomach is empty and a person is likely to be doing things around the house and preparing a meal.


    This affords Colosan the necessary amount of time to clear the stomach and begin its work in the digestive tract. A third convenient time for taking Colosan is right before going to bed. At this hour the stomach is usually empty and Colosan can effect its gentle cleansing action.

    As you lie still you can actually feel it working. Don’t be alarmed by the cathartic effect of Colosan, this is not diarrhea. The flushing is the very positive action you are looking for. It’s like having an oxygenated colonic or enema that goes the entire length of your digestive tract, all 21 feet.

    You will realize why colon hydro therapists use it in conjunction with colonics to reach past the colon. We have had the privilege of having many colorful conversations with Colosan users amazed that what they saw in their bowel.

  • Oxygen for Superior Colon Hygiene

    There are common goals to healthful living.

    One primary goal is proper colon hygiene. The cleansing of the digestive tract is a logical place from which to embark on a healthful regimen. Ask any contractor- you have to clean up before you repair and rebuild. The same concept applies to well being and rejuvenation.

    Eliminate built up toxins before you provide the body with what it needs to restore well being.

    There is no better way to clean the colon than with oxygen since digestion is known to be a process of oxidation. By introducing oxygen into the intestines and the colon, one can assist the process of complete digestion as well as oxidizing undigested material.

    Colosan turns the undigested material into CO2, waste and water. Colosan is a cathartic and initially will give you liquid stools. This is a sign that the product is working.

    The gentle oxidizing action of Colosan can be compared with three other forms of laxative. The amphetamines that are used as diuretics and contain addictive substances. Herbal laxatives that employ micro toxins, or small poisons, to induce the system to purge itself of valuable water in order to rid the digestive tract of the toxin.

    These two methods drain the body of necessary fluids in their attempt to wash out the system and do not contribute to good health. Fiber type laxatives, like psyllium, taken to maintain regularity, force matter through the tract via the plug or bolus of fiber. Fiber is an appropriate natural way to maintain regularity but oxygen is a gentler more sensible method.

    Colosan should be used as a first step in any health regimen. This will help to prevent the usual Hoxsey reaction, healing crisis or detox reaction that individuals undertaking a cleansing will frequently encounter.

    Practitioners familiar with natural healing are generally overjoyed to learn about this valuable tool for avoiding these unpleasant reactions. It is very logical to clean out the organs of elimination prior to attempting to detoxify the body.

    This way the body can eliminate the toxins more readily rather that have them stirred up, floating around and creating complications. Common symptoms of a healing crisis are nausea, headaches, tiredness, or pain in the liver and kidneys. Colosan makes this unpleasantry a thing of the past.

    Many colon therapist love Colosan because it enables them to clean the entire 21 feet of the digestive tract as well as loosening the impacted material in the lower colon. By giving Colosan to their patients prior to the colonic they can effect a more thorough cleanse.

    This creates very satisfied, happy clients. The goal is to clear the small intestines and colon of impacted material and improve their functions of assimilation, absorption and elimination. This is an important first step in establishing good health. The average person has six to twelve pounds of putrefacation rotting away in their gut.
    Your body encases this muck in mucus to keep itself from being poisoned. This fecal fortress is a home base for parasites, germs, bacteria and viruses to multiply in and organize their attacks on your body. By eliminating their home base you can prevent pathogens from getting a toe hold on your system and help to prevent recurrences of annoying bugs.
