Let’s define “constipation” –the
word coms from the Latin
root “constipare,” which means “compressed.” So constipation
refers to very dense, highly compressed stools produced as a result of very slow
transit time of feces through the bowels.
A constipated system is one in which the transition,
or "time", of toxic wastes is slow and the consistency of the stool
can cause strain (which over time may cause hemorrhoids, varicose veins, hiatal
hernia, or other mechanically induced problems). The longer the "transit
time", the longer the toxic waste matter sits in our bowel which allows
proteins to putrefy, fats to rancify, and carbohydrates to ferment.
The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater
the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will
still have at least three meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon
at all times. On top of all this, your system can also become continuously self-polluting
by the poisonous gases that are caused by foods you don't tolerate. These poisonous
gases can enter your bloodstream, irritating your organs and joints.
The long held belief of some health professionals
is that many people just have fewer bowel movements than others. This is true,
but they also neglected to inform these individuals that those having fewer bowel
movements are harboring a fertile breeding ground for serious diseases and possibly
death. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended period of
time are very hazardous to your health.
So remember, even if you have a bowel movement each day,
you are still “constipated” if
your stools are hard and densely compressed. “Normal” stools are
as important as “regular” bowel movements. Normal stools should be
a bit fluffy and float on the surface of the water in the toilet. Regular movements
mean at least once a day, at the same time of day, usually in the morning, and
sometimes two or three times a day, when you are following proper food combining
guidelines (Note that included in the CleanseComplete is a handy guide to food combining,
written by Daniel Reid especially for CleanseCompleters only!)
The following is a very
interesting article from the Constipation Resource Center:
"What
Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Constipation
By: Dr. Edward F. Group III
I have decided to break the silence and reveal the truth
about constipation that most doctors don't want you to
know!
You see, what's
so dangerous about being constipated is that it’s
not an injury like a broken bone or a cut or scrap. Constipation
comes
on slowly. You don't notice
it at first, or maybe you just brush off not going to the
bathroom thinking it's nothing, and then it slowly builds
and builds. You start feeling heavy, sick and bloated.
You become more irritable. You start taking pills or laxatives
to get through the day, or you call in sick to work.
If
you were to go to your family or company doctor complaining
about
fatigue, weight gain,
Hemorrhoids, gas, body odor,
skin problems, headaches, indigestion, depression, even
abdominal pains, you'll probably hear something along the
lines of…'You are probably constipated. Here
are some laxatives. Come back if that doesn't take care
of it.'
The Constipation Alarm
This is a blaring alarm that your doctor may
not be the person to talk to. You see, most doctors do
great with
general medicine. If you have broken bones, or need emergency
care, medical science can do wonders! But when it comes
to a condition like a clogged bowel, many doctors just
don’t have the training or experience to properly
treat the true cause of your problem and get you relieved
for good.
The main problem with the kind of treatments many doctors
give for conditions like constipation or colon cleansing
is that they never go after the root of the problem, but
focus on the symptoms, in your case; abdominal pain, not
going to the bathroom in 2-4 days and other irritating
symptoms. And when these treatments wear off (which they
do), you'll often find they only cover up the real problem
for a short time and did nothing to fix what's causing
your constipation in the first place.
The Effects of Constipation
Constipation has been implicated in the cause of numerous
diseases and disorders including:
Appendicitis
(One of the most common abdominal emergencies here in
the U.S. It has been estimated that more than 300,000
appendices are removed each year in this country), Diverticulitis/Diverticulosis,
Hemorrhoids, Benign Tumors, IBS (including Spastic Colon),
Ulcerative Colitis, and Crohn's disease.
And that's not
all...
Perhaps
this doesn't surprise you. But take a look at the following
categories of diseases
and disorders that
can also be related either directly or indirectly to the
colon: Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Stroke, Varicose
Veins, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism, Diabetes,
Gall Stones, Kidney Stones, Obesity, Gout, Rheumatoid Arthritis,
Multiple Sclerosis, Psoriasis, — Especially Diabetes
Mellitus, type II—"adult onset diabetes";
It has been estimated that 3-10% of the population eventually
develop known diabetes and that a much greater proportion
have the disease undetected.
If you're suffering
from constipation, and you don't want it to get worse,
then there is hope for you to get rid of
your impacted bowel once and for all! There are many ways
to clean a bowel and keep it moving effectively."
We're hoping by now it's becoming
pretty clear... that you've got to the bottom
of the problem! and hopefully too, you're
beginning to feel empowered, by the knowledge, by the
good fortune that you've discovered there is a way
to break free, a way to restore your digestive system
to how it was long ago when you were a healthy
child...
