Hey! Yes, I highly recommend it. If you go into most any healthfood store that sells books, you can find a book by Norman Walker about why you should cleanse the colon.
Here is something I found quickly:
Benefits Of Colon Cleansing
A healthy colon is crucial to living a healthy life. Many ailments begin in the colon, and, if not discovered or treated, can cause serious problems. Such ailments can even lead to death. In America today, colon cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer.
Part of the reason so many Americans have an unhealthy colon is the lack of fiber benefits to their diet. The required daily allowance for fiber intake is 20 to 30 grams, an amount few people achieve. However, eating a diet with insufficient fiber is like cleansing dishes without a sponge. You simply can't get all of the grime off the plate. Without fiber in the diet, scraping the colon clean during each use is impossible. Buildup occurs, resulting in the health problems mentioned above.
Health Benefits of Colon Cleansing
Colonix, the cleansing program we offer at DrNatura.com, works with natural ingredients such as fiber to help get the colon back to functional health. A simple cleanse that takes place over a period of several months so as not to shock the system, Colonix requires oral supplements, a fiber substitute, and laxative tea. The combination of these ingredients benefits the body by ridding it of collected, impacted waste.
Cleansing and detoxification are important aspects of maintaining a healthy colon. As the colon's function is to absorb nutrients and help eliminate waste, it benefits the body to make sure it has a clear pathway. Take charge of this important bodily function: Get started cleaning your colon today.
We have done Colonix but the next one we are trying is called OXYPOWDER. The reviews we read said it was easier on the system and an easier cleanse. Plus it is less expensive. About $45.
I have also done a 30 day colonic cleanse. I own my own colonic board. And I have done a 14 day fresh juice fast. That one is REALLY good for you. We did the Lemonade diet last year and I won't do that one again.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info.

Hi all,
I got this from the book of Barnabas (ch 10). I know its extra biblical, but what i read from this book so far makes me wonder why it didnt make it in canon. I got this from the Codex Sinaiticus, one of the earliest credible sources for the NT scriptures. This excerpt is very interesting with thread.
Barnabas 10
1 But in that Moses said, Thou shalt not eat the swine, nor the eagle, nor the hawk, nor the crow, nor any fish that hath not scales in itself, he had in his mind three doctrines.
2 For in the end he saith unto them in Deuteronomy, And I will arrange before this people my ordinances. The commandment of God is not, therefore, that they should not eat; but Moses spake in a spiritual sense.
3 He spake of the swine with this meaning: Thou shalt not cleave, he meaneth, unto men of this sort, who are like unto swine, for when they become wanton they forget their Lord, but when they are in want they think upon the Lord; even as the swine when it eateth knoweth not its lord, but when it is hungry it crieth, and when it hath received it is again silent.
4 Nor shalt thou eat of the eagle, nor of the hawk, nor of the kite, nor of the crow. Thou shalt not, he meaneth, cleave to, nor be like to men of this sort, who know not how to provide sustenance for themselves by labour and sweat, but in their iniquity seize the property of others, and, as though they walked in innocence, watch and observe whom they shall plunder, through their covetousness; even as these birds alone provide not sustenance for themselves by means of toil, but, sitting idle, seek out how they may eat the flesh of others, being destructive by reason of their wickedness.
5 And thou shalt not eat, he saith, of the lamprey, or the polypus, or the cuttle-fish. Thou shalt not, he meaneth, cleave to or become like unto men of this sort, who are impious unto the end, and have been already condemned to death, even as these accursed fish alone swim in the depth, not floating as the others do, but dwelling in the earth below the depth of the sea.
6 Thus, he saith, Thou shalt not eat the hare, meaning thou shalt not indulge in unnatural lusts;
7 nor shalt thou eat the hyaena, meaning thou shalt not be an adulterer;
8 nor shalt thou eat the weazel, meaning thou shalt not do uncleanness with thy mouth concerning food;
9 therefore Moses spake in the spirit these three doctrines. But they, according to the lusts of their flesh, received them as being about meat.
10 And David receiveth knowledge concerning the same three doctrines, and saith in like manner, Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, even as the fish walk in darkness into the depths of the sea, and hath not stood in the way of sinners, even as they who pretend to fear the Lord sin as doth the swine, and hath not sat in the seat of the destroyers, even as the birds that sit for prey. Ye have also in the end a commandment concerning food;
11 but Moses said, Eat ye everything that is cloven-footed and that cheweth the cud. What meaneth he? He that taketh food knoweth him that feedeth him, and, resting upon him, seemeth to be glad. He therefore saith well, having regard to the commandment. What then meaneth he? Cleave ye unto them that fear the Lord, who walk in his commandments, which they have received in their hearts; unto them that speak of the ordinances of the Lord, and observe them, unto them who know that the practice of them is a work of gladness, and who meditate on the word of the Lord. But what meaneth that which cleaveth the hoof? It meaneth that the just walketh even in this world, and expecteth the holy life. Behold how well Moses hath made these laws;
12 but how was it possible for them to perceive or understand these things? But we, having rightly understood the commandments, speak them even as the Lord hath willed. On this account hath he circumcised our ears and hearts, that we should understand these things.
For those who dont know Barnabas was traveling with Paul before they had a strong dissagreement.

Linny:
Hey Anthony! I used to be quite literal with the Old Testament food laws when I first started learning about nutrition. God molded me through 10 years of learning to find balance.
There is one particular ministry that we learned a lot from, that is, in my opinion, completely wrong in their legalism.
This Scripture is clear about the legalism in food laws...
1Ti 4:1 God's Spirit clearly says that in the last days many people will turn from their faith. They will be fooled by evil spirits and by teachings that come from demons.
1Ti 4:2 They will also be fooled by the false claims of liars whose consciences have lost all feeling. These liars
1Ti 4:3 will forbid people to marry or to eat certain foods. But God created these foods to be eaten with thankful hearts by his followers who know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 Everything God created is good. And if you give thanks, you may eat anything.
1Ti 4:5 What God has said and your prayer will make it fit to eat. 1Ti 4:6 If you teach these things to other followers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus. You will show that you have grown up on the teachings about our faith and on the good instructions you have obeyed.
The hardest thing I have ever tried to do in my walk is the balance with nutrition and not allowing food to become a god to me.
