" Curing constipation is guaranteed to make you feel better, and with the

­it�s certainly worth the effort. "

This is a very important post and serous consideration should be given to this

if one wants to stay healthy!

" Constipation is not caused by an Ex- Lax deficiency! "

Yet again another triumph of nutrients! Although I think cod liver oil at a

lower dose maybe more effective than flax seed oil. Don't forget to check out

While constipation isn�t a popular topic of conversation, it is, nevertheless,

an important subject that could mean a world of difference to your overall

health. The concept of bowel endotoxemia has been around for a long time

(though, again, most people don�t want to discuss it). This theory states,

quite logically, that waste products aren�t good for human cells, and that

it�s best that our bodies literally get rid of them every day, rather than

retaining them internally and giving more time for absorption back into the

body. Once reabsorbed into the bloodstream, bowel toxins can be distributed

anywhere, including the breasts, where they can cause �atypical� and

precancerous� changes. A number of years ago, a group of British researchers

did a comparison study of severely constipated women, who had bowel movements

approximately once a week, vs. women having daily movements and not suffering

from constipation at all. All of these volunteers then had their

breasts compressed sufficiently to squeeze out a few drops of fluid, which was

then examined under a microscope. The women suffering from severe constipation

had many more �atypical� and �pre-cancerous� cells found in their breast

fluid than the women not suffering from constipation, who had few to none.

Of course, very few individuals have constipation as severe as the women

reporting only �once-a-week� bowel movements. Infrequency of this level

would understandably be associated with the heaviest reabsorption of bowel

toxins. But all too many of us have milder degrees of constipation and are

likely reabsorbing more toxins than our livers and other detoxifiying organs are

meant to handle on a daily basis. If you have this problem, from mild to severe,

it is important to find the cause, and correct it. Remember: Constipation is not

caused by an Ex- Lax deficiency! One of the most widespread causes of

constipation is insufficient fiber in the diet. Increasing dietary fiber with

foods like carrots, beans, and whole grains is a good starting point.

Supplemental forms of fiber, including oat bran, wheat bran, and psyllium, are

all available at natural food stores. Psyllium is widely used, and can be found

as whole or ground seeds or sometimes as a powder. A daily dose of 1

to 2 tablespoons dissolved in water is usually sufficient.

Essential fatty acids can also help relieve constipation, since they are the

precursor material to hormones called prostaglandins, which help to regulate

bowel function. Flax oil is the best option, and 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons daily is

usually enough to help. To help prevent the essential fatty acids from oxidizing

too rapidly, you should also take additional vitamin E (400 units daily) along

with them. For people age 60 and older, additional folic acid may be helpful in

reducing constipation. Six to eight 800-microgram (the largest quantity

available in natural food stores) tablets per day, taken for several weeks can

offer significant relief. Folic acid should be accompanied by 1,000 to 2,000

micrograms of extra vitamin B12 per day.

Two other common causes of constipation, especially as we grow older, are

hypochlorhydria (lack of stomach acid) and insufficient production of digestive

enzymes. For help in identifying the underlying cause of constipation and

remedying it, contact a member of the American College of Advancement in

Medicine (1-800-532-3688 or www.acam.org) or the American Association of

Naturopathic Physicians (1-703-610-9037 or www.naturopathic.org).

Curing constipation is guaranteed to make you feel better, and with the possible

added benefit of preventing more serious illness even breast cancer­it�s

certainly worth the effort.
