The Missing Link on the 100% Raw Food Diet!, by Matt Monarch

colonWhy is water fasting so cleansing? Because you are leaving EVERYTHING out of your diet except water. A Raw Lifestyle detoxifies the body because all food is omitted except Raw Food. In this light, a Raw Lifestyle can be considered a Life-Long Fast.

From years and years of poor eating… No, scratch that… From generations and generations of poor eating, we have evolved into ‘walking pus bags’. I am sorry to be so graphic and blunt, but I really want to get my point across. When you choose a 100% Raw Food Lifestyle, your cells start to drain this waste – a great deal of it is released in the form of gas. This cleansing detoxification process doesn’t take two to three months, or a few years to stop. It will continue until the day we die.

(See the ‘Blood Gas Theory’ article here.)

In my opinion, the most misunderstood concept in the Raw Food Movement is Detoxification!

Besides environmental toxins, toxins from stress (adrenaline), defunct cells and other by-products, food residue, poor eating habits (overlapping meals, overeating, etc.), you are going to detox accumulated gaseous waste (generations of poor eating, drugs, antibiotics and so on) from your cells for the rest of your life.

When you go 100% Raw, you STOP taking into your body those ‘foods’ that are the most damaging and obstructive to the body (e.g. refined sugars and processed starches). Your cells, which until now have been getting gradually packed with more and more filth for years, finally get a chance to ‘exhale’. They begin to release all that accumulated, toxic matter into your system.

(STUDY the ‘Blood Gas Theory’ article here.)

It is unavoidable: the TRUE 100% Raw Food Eater will become very toxic, again and again, as waste is released from their cells in detox.

When we adhere to a 100% Raw Food Lifestyle, the body cleanses a lot more than we might think. I am of the strong opinion that if you TRULY choose the 100% Raw Food Lifestyle without periodic colon cleansing, then you are setting yourself up for failure. I feel that 90% of the people who try, then feel they can’t adhere to a 100% Raw Lifestyle, may be able to succeed if they understood this ‘life-long fast’ concept, along with adopting the regular practice of colon hydrotherapy. Colon Hydrotherapy IS the Missing Link. Even if you are having good bowel movements, three times a day, not all the waste is coming out!

(The solid waste is not even the main thing we are trying to remove during colon hydrotherapy. It is the Gas! STUDY the ‘Blood Gas Theory’ article below for a deeper explanation.)

A very high percentage of people who attempt to go 100% Raw do not stay on this path. At some point, they generally run into issues. When these issues arise, they may make a change in their 100% Raw Lifestyle and feel better. For example, they may add more greens to their diet, lower the quantities of fat or fruit, add enzymes or probiotics, add vegetable juices, or green smoothies. However as time goes by, regardless of the changes they make, at some point they end up with issues again, further down the line. Colon Hydrotherapy IS the Missing Link.

There are those in the Raw and other health communities who are against Colon Cleansing. I have found that many of these folks may claim to be 100% Raw, yet later reveal they eat some cooked food. Surprisingly, there is quite a difference in the body of someone who is 95% Raw versus 100% Raw. Someone who is 95% never journeys through the refined sensitivity and profound expulsion of deep-seated waste, and therefore may not appreciate the need for supportive cleansing on a Raw Diet.

Without additional cleansing, toxins are stirred up faster than they are eliminated, resulting in continual cravings and loss of energy. Often, the semi-Raw eater who refuses Colonics is unconsciously forced to compromise their diet, in order to slow down detoxification. You may notice that many of the current ‘Raw Pioneers’ adhere to an 80 – 90% Raw Lifestyle.

The colon is the ultimate gas drainage outlet. In conjunction with an improved diet, Colon Hydrotherapy is THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL that anyone can utilize for detox.

Colon Hydrotherapy is a miracle! There is so much beauty to the results provided. As soon as the 100% Raw Food Eater reaches that heavy, toxic state, a session of colon hydrotherapy can transport them into a CLEAN, light, spiritual, vibrational BLISS. Zits (pimples), rashes, hemorrhoids, psoriasis and other skin blemishes created from this toxic state will disappear, the nose and bronchial pathways will clear of mucus, breathing becomes easier and deeper, body odor leaves, infections disappear, your brain functions better, and you are catapulted on the ‘Super-Sonic Jet Plane’ pathway to health.

If a 100% Raw Food Lifestyle and periodic colon cleansing are continued, you will rapidly seem to become younger, you will become more beautiful, your skin will become silky smooth, shine and glow, you will heal the body from degenerative disease, all foul odor will leave from your body, and you will experience heightened spiritual receptivity.

Ironically, someone who is TRULY 100% Raw should do colon hydrotherapy more often than someone who is not, due to how the body cleanses with this kind of lifestyle. If you are truly 100% Raw, you can ‘get away’ with less and yet… for OPTIMAL health I recommend doing a minimum of one colonic irrigation a month, for the rest of your life. In my opinion, if you periodically practice colon hydrotherapy, you will potentially add more than a decade to your lifespan.

95% of the people who I talk to who’ve drastically improved their diet claim that they have more gas now than before the improvement. How many times have you tried to go 100% Raw? Why do so many Raw Food Eaters have cooked food ‘slip-ups’? Have you ever seen a heroin addict sent to the hospital, forced to abstain from the drug? It’s not a pretty sight. Although not so extreme, abstaining from cooked/processed foods will cause a similar withdrawal, resulting in cravings and desires to get your fix. Colon Hydrotherapy can be a highly beneficial tool for relieving the system of those toxins that are being released during withdrawal, which lessens the impact of cravings. It helps us to clean out our system quicker of all the accumulated waste and move onwards into more vibrant health. Though our detox will never truly be over, we can help ourselves to get through the harshest part of the initial detox from cooked/processed foods with the tool of colon hydrotherapy.

A Raw Lifestyle can be considered a Life-Long Fast.
For optimal health, Colon Hydrotherapy IS the Missing Link.
