Thomas Crapper, a mid-nineteenth-century British plumber, is widely credited with inventing the toilet (though this is not actually true). His name is also thought to have given rise to poo’s most sophisticated synonym: crap. Read the rest of this entry
close the lid on the loo!!
The effect of stress on the GI tract is widely known. But is it understood? What has only recently been discovered, however, is that this stress-induced abdominal cramping and urge to defecate is caused not solely by the reain’s messaging, but by the intestines’ release of hormones and neurotransmitters. The ‘enteric nervous system’ is a complex array of nerve fibers that is remarkably independent in its ability to regulate the digestive system. Read the rest of this entry
Vitamin C... for Colds and Flus
Your immune system is under attack every day, due to so many factors like; stress, lack of rest, and poor diet. These three situations all contribute to reduing the strength of your immune system and weakening your body’s response, and folks its all about response. Response is the difference between you getting a cold or flu or fighting it off before it takes hold. Unfortunately we often don’t think about bolstering our immune response until it’s too late. Until the cold or flu is right there in our body, and we are fighting with whatever immune support we have already got stored up. Vitamin C is a water soluable nutrient, which means we have to get it outside of our bodies, so we can store it up again… It’s a tricky one to balance, and is always used up in stressful situations, as are the B Vitamins…
3 Questions Before You Eat!
So you are about to eat something, besides the obvious question, which is ‘am I hungry?‘, there are 3 questions you need to ask yourself about the food you are eating before you eat it! Why? because generally the human race has lost touch with what food is for and I’m guessing that you reading this now, may also have lost touch! You may not, you may be completely on top of your food elements, however if you are out of touch, you are going to find this interesting. Understanding and implemting the answers to these 3 questions may give you extra quality healthy years to your life.
The first question to ask is….‘Will this food ‘nourish’ me?” Or another way to put that is; ‘will this food actually give me something of value? You want to feel great after eating your food, not tired and worn out!
You want to be sure that the food will be absorbed into the blood stream, after the journey into the small intestine, that nutrients are nourishing the rest of your body. So the first question is Will this food nourish me, and if you can’t answer YES to that, then why are you eating this food? Read the rest of this entry

DIGESTION AND EXCRETORY SYSTEMS – By Annie Clark
Stomach and food process
Food is fuel for your body. Food needs to be broken down by the digestive system to be used by cells. Cells need the molecule size morsels, known as nutrients for energy growth and repair.
Even before your first bite of food enters the mouth, your digestive system springs into action – the sight, smell or thought starts the saliva action in the mouth. Your body makes more than a litre and a half of saliva a day. Think about that for a moment, that’s a lot of liquid. Chemical rich saliva mixes with the tongue which is mastication or chewing. Food goes down the oesophagus which is like a stretchy tube. The food goes down much like toothpaste is squeezed from the tube. Bit by bit the oesophagus allows food into your stomach – then the acid rain – a brutal condition in the stomach – hydrochloric acid. This harsh liquid can break down other substances. A Thick layer of mucus lines the walls of the stomach to protect the wall. If that mucus wasn’t there, the hydrochloric acid would eat through the stomach. Read the rest of this entry
The new Poo In You book is here. So what you say? Well, I know you have probably been bombarded with heaps of information about colon cleansing in the Internet, but have you really been bombarded? Have you really got it? Are people getting the message, that unless you clean out your colon, and get the waste and rubbish out, you are not facing up to what it is to be healthy.

Sharon preparing Colonic area
During the last few weeks, I’ve had the opportunity, or should I say I’ve made the opportunity to clean out my body, and give myself a well needed boost of vitality and energy. First I went down to Melbourne to catch up with family, which was very important to me, especially as my mother is now in aged care and my father lives nearby, alone! I like to keep an eye on them both, and prepare fresh, vegetarian meals for dad with lots of salad and variety. He loves that I make something special out of virtually nothing and I love to make something special for him that I know will nourish him. I’m sure each time I visit a little of my healthy ways rub off on him. Read the rest of this entry
Artemisia - magnificent cleansing herb
It’s a bonus if you can find a good remedy that has Artemisia included as an ingredient. The plant known as Artemisia is called wormwood in the traditional herbal literature.
It really packs a punch when you are treating Parasites. Speaking of parasites……Unfortunately and only too often, many symptoms and signs of general poor health are mis-diagnosed. Intestinal and abdominal disorders can be confused with the symptoms and signs resulting from parasitic infection. Indeed many common health problems experienced by people today, tend to have a parasitic basis. Read the rest of this entry
Ah yes, the possibilities of enemas. I think I can almost feel you squirming through the invisible waves coming off my computer. Don’t worry I wont get too detailed, but perhaps just enough for you to understand the many benefits of doing enemas, and how easy it can be to carry out and why you should consider enemas for health and vitality.
Over Christmas I got a bit of a sniffle. I couldn’t shake it, perhaps my own immune system was a little vulnerable and down, as the grasses around our property seemed to set me off on a sneezing fit. Then I actually got a kind of cold. Confined only to the head area. After filling about 4 large handkerchiefs with a runny nose, I decided to give myself an enema, with the result of instant relief.
