Here this Naturopathic expert gives us a high school lesson on our colon and detoxification.

The intestinal system consists of the colon.

The colon is broken up into different segments – the ascending colon, right side, the transverse colon, across, an the descending colon that goes down and out to the rectum and anus of the colon.

The colon is 5 feet long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

To know if you have a healthy colon, all you have to do is look at the waste material. It should take the form of your colon and if it doesn’t then you need to detoxify your colon.

It is as simple as that. You can view the video yourself below. The video comes from expertvillage and it is done by Karen Fraser.
