Constipation Causes and Cures

Constipation causes and cures - most advice you see gives you only part of the story - OR is totally WRONG!

I can't tell you how many clients have asked me in disbelief, Why, even though eating lots of fiber do I still suffer from constipation?'

PHOTO ABOVE: High-fiber foods such as almonds are a big CAUSE of constipation.

Not only that - they contain serious plant toxins - oxalates, phytosterols, saponins and lectins - which are corrosive to health. These poisons insidiously eat away at our vitality, causing all manner of illness - arthritis, eye problems, cancer, alzheimers, thyroid malfunction - you name it...

A Missing Link to Constipation Relief...

Toxicity, rather than lack of fiber, is a MAJOR cause of constipation!

Why..?

An abundant flow of bile is ESSENTIAL to stimulate peristalsis. (Peristalsis is the involuntary contraction and relaxation of the musculature of the intestines, which moves food along).

Here's where it gets interesting: Did anyone ever tell you that an overload of toxins in the body causes the bile to thicken into slow-moving 'bile sludge?'

A rough analogy is when the oil in your car's engine is dirty and needs changing, it gets blackened, thick and sludgy.

Thickened bile can't flow well.

Since your intestines REQUIRE bile to stimulate movement, poor bile flow causes lack of peristalsis, which equals constipation.

Eating Fiber Will NOT Relieve Constipation!

I can't tell you how many clients have complained to me that they are eating lots of fiber, which does nothing for their constipation!

PHOTO ABOVE: Unlike us, ruminant animals such as cows can turn rough grasses and other forage from which we could never benefit - into nutrient-rich fat and protein we humans can thrive on.

Add to that - the cows constantly move about, conditioning the soil with their hooves and fertilizing it with their urine and manure. This regenerates poor land into lush grassland and forest.

Regenerative agriculture sequesters carbon AND makes land MORE intensively productive - feeding more and more people!

Supporting regenerative farms, we become healthier and avoid having to deal with constipation!

Conventional sources of information (and also 'holistic' ones), give you the impression that if you just eat enough fiber, you have healthy eliminative functioning.

That is a big MYTH - it is not lack of fiber that causes constipation; it is lack of bile.

Think about this - do you ever wonder why Eskimos living on a high fat diet of wild meat do not suffer from sluggish elimination?

Have you ever noticed that babies not yet eating any solid food DO eliminate plenty of solids?

No matter how much fiber you eat, if there isn't sufficient bile flow, you will be constipated.

Without plentiful bile to stimulate peristalsis, eating lots of fiber will only stuff your intestines and you will feel even more bloated! Fermentation of slow moving fibrous foods can add to the discomfort.

**IMPORTANT: We've been LIED to! BIG TIME!

I bet you never heard that...

Fiber is BAD for us - it slows elimination, irritates and inflames the digestive tract and causes gas and bloating!

Body Cleanse For Better Bowel Function!

Detoxification of the body! This is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. Toxins cause bile to thicken; then bile flow is too slow to provide proper stimulation of intestinal peristalsis (muscular contractions that move along the intestinal contents).

Also important: EDTA chelation Why is EDTA chelation important for improving bowel function?

Because it removes toxic heavy metals from your body. We are all continually exposed to heavy metals through 'silver' fillings containing volatile mercury, seafood, household products, etc.

**Heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminum damage the nerves, including the nerves of the intestines.

This can be a major contributor to sluggish elimination; the damage to the intestinal nerves makes them less responsive to stimulation needed for peristalsis!**

This is why EDTA chelation to remove heavy metals can help relieve constipation!

What Conditions Contribute to Constipation?

It is important to rule out any serious medical condition that may be causing poor elimination.

Colon cancer, hypothyroidism (low thyroid), Parkinson's disease, diabetes and scleroderma and MS (Multiple Sclerosis) are the most common conditions that can lead to inefficient elimination.

Many medications' side effects include slowing of bowel function. You may know that it is common for prescription medications to interfere with liver function, and that liver enzymes are (or should be) routinely tested in these cases.

Since one of the functions of the liver is to produce bile, and sufficient bile flow is vital for proper elimination, it is important to monitor liver function when taking drugs.

Magnesium deficiency is a major cause of sluggish bowel.

Over 80% of all Americans are sub-clinically deficient in magnesium.

Highly Effective Way to
Relieve Constipation

If you are truly ambitious to take control of your health, and adventuresome enough to try something new, you might want to look into coffee enemas, which are wonderful for improving elimination, increasing energy and optimism and restoring youthful vigor.

Coffee enemas are a very powerful anti-aging and detoxification method used in the Gerson Cancer Clinics to restore healthy liver and gallbladder function in terminal cancer patients.

Coffee enema is one of THE most effective tools for a person who wants to achieve Peak Health.

If doing a coffee enema (easier than you may think), seems too involved for you right now, you might want to consider a much quicker, more convenient way to obtain similar benefits.
