Raw-foods pioneer and best-selling author Norman Walker was passionate about the relationship between a healthy colon and a healthy body. Even though it’s one of the body’s most vital organs, the colon is often ignored unless constipation, gas, colitis, or prostate trouble occur. In this abridged version of his original work, Dr. Walker gives readers a tour of the large intestine and explains the intricate workings of our internal waste-disposal system.

From cathartics and laxatives to enemas and colonic irrigations, readers will learn how to cleanse and maintain a healthy colon so it can effectively eliminate waste products from the body. Through proper care of the colon, it’s possible to prevent and experience relief from not only constipation and digestive problems but also asthma, colds, allergies, and respiratory disorders.
