CONSTIPATION
Natural Help For This Distressing Problem
Constipation can include any of the following: difficulty passing
stool, incomplete passage of stool or less than one bowel movement per
day. Even with daily bowel movements, the bowels may still be toxic.
Since the bowels eliminate toxins and waste products, and it is
important for good health to maintain regular bowel movements.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE
- Eat a diet high in fiber (Vegetables, fruits, whole grains,
legumes). Use a fiber supplement if necessary. (See "Primary
Support," below).
- Drink 64 ounces of pure water daily (simple dehydration is a
common cause of constipation).
-
Exercise regularly. Exercise stimulates normal propulsive
movements of the colon.
- Do not suppress the urge to have a bowel movement.
- Avoid prolonged use of irritant laxatives. They can cause
dependence. Natural laxatives improve peristaltic action and do not
cause dependence when used correctly.
PRIMARY SUPPORT
- Fiber:
Maxi Fiber, 1
teaspoon, 2-3 times per day, OR
Fiber
Formula: 12 caps per day.
-
Similase digestive aid, 2
caps, 3 times per day with meals.
-
LBC-LAX: Begin with one capsule
at dinner. Increase by one capsule day (up to 6 caps) with dinner
until full, daily bowel movements are initiated. Continue taking
formula daily with dinner. You will need gradually less as your
bowels improve.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
-
Vitamin C: (for "quick
action") High doses of vitamin C will effectively loosen the bowels.
The "bowel tolerance" dose is different for every individual. Begin
with 1-6 tsps. of
Buffered Vitamin C
powder taken in water or juice. Take an additional 1,000 mg
every two hours until bowel movements are initiated. The following
day, decrease the total dose by 1,000mg total. Continue for three
days.
- For chronic constipation, follow the Health Priority Protocol
for a Healthy Colon, found on page 9 of the
Holistic Health Handbook.
- Support any organ system that scored "high" on the
self-appraisal questionnaire. Digestive function & liver are likely
imbalances. Also take the "Lifestyle" questionnaire, page 2 of the
Holistic Health Handbook.
Imbalances in diet and insufficient water or exercise contribute to
constipation.
DR. MYATT’S COMMENT
If your doctor tells you that less than one bowel movement per day is
"normal,"
consult an alternative medicine
physician for further assistance. Constipation contributes to
general physical toxicity due to the reabsorption of toxins into the
bloodstream. The "old docs" used to say that "death begins in the
colon." If your self-help measures fail to bring relief in four weeks,
get help. Good bowel eliminations are central to good health!
