Master Cleanse/bowel health

[Guest guest]

One of the first books that got me interested in cleansing was Tissue

Cleansing by Bernard Jenson. I didn't follow his exact program but I

did use a fiber product developed by a naturopath I know and got

similar results to the photos in the book ( " rubber snakes " to put it

nicely!). I also did a series of colonics.

 

After that I never had much of a problem with constipation as long as

the diet was full of veggies and fruits. More recently our family

(and extended family) started using a probiotic superfood that fixed

up my Dad's constipation, my Mom's IBS, my daughter's chronic and

severe bowel/stomach pain and my husband's very odorous stools. None

of these want to make healthy dietary changes.

 

It appears that they were all missing at least one of the bacterias

necessary for good bowel health. Acidophilus and bifidus are only two

parts of the 13 lactobaccillus bacteria that work synergistically in a

healthy system. This is why many people never get well from just

taking the standard probiotics.

 

The bacteria form enzymes which help to digest food. Even after my

cleanse I needed to take enzymes to digest food. Every meal for many

years with no improvements except that I didn't have gas. If I didn't

take them, I would be gassy. With the probiotic I no longer need the

enzymes and have been able to eat foods mixed together that I couldn't

do before. Not that I recommend stressing the system by mixing foods

but if you're out for dinner at a friend's place, it can appear rude

to the hostess if you don't eat the food so I try to not be fanatical

when I'm out.

 

So, if nothings working as far as cleanses go, the reason is quite

likely that there is just a strain of two of bacteria that you're

missing.

We have come across a product that contains all natural probiotics, fiber,

immune supporting ingredients, colostrum, a colon specific antioxidant and

prebiotics. It costs about a $1 a day which is alot cheaper than the stuff I

have purchased in the past. One of the other things that is great about this

product is the fact that it does not have ANY laxatives, it is totally organic

and made here in the US. It has helped my IBS, my husband and my mothers

constipation and my sisters ulcerative colitis. Drop me an email if you would

like to know more.
