CONSTIPATION:  To cleanse or not to cleanse….that is the question

 
Constipation

No one wants to talk about it, admit to it, or take the necessary steps to relieve it until the situation becomes critical. According to the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, approximately one million Canadians a year suffer from constipation (http://www.cag-acg.org) What makes this statistic so alarming is that this is using conventional medicines definition of constipation (approximately 1 bowel movement every 2-3 day). When one considers that we should be having 2 to 3 bowel movements per day for optimal health, this number is significantly higher.
If you suffer from constipation, you want a permanent solution to this problem. Fortunately, there are immediate, natural measures that can help relieve your constipation difficulties. It is imperative to take immediate action as constipation has many damaging effects on the body including:
      •  raising your risk of colon cancer (Watanabe et al., 2004)
      • being 4 times more likely to develop breast cancer
        (Petrakis & King, 1981).
      • causing pressure in the bowels which can stimulate the
        growth of cancer cells (Walsh et al., 2004).
      • causing psychological distress, anxiety, depression,
        insomnia and sexual dysfunction (Tan et al., 2003).
      • causing autointoxification (when toxic substances are
        absorbed from the bowels into the bloodstream).
        Autointoxication has been blamed for a long list of
        health problems, including depression and serious skin
        problems (Person & Bernhard, 1986).
Healthy bowel movements are essential to a healthy body.  The bowel is like a sewage system, unless we cleanse the  system of toxins daily, they will enter the blood stream and harm the body.
 
"Unfortunately, the problem of constipation builds up slowly over time, and takes time toimprove if it is not supported by a specific program for success. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have studied the effect of augmenting good dietary and exercise habits with natural supplements in order to put a sluggish colon and digestive system on the right track. I have formulated what I consider to be, the most effective program for achieving 2 to 3 gentle bowel movements per day and for improving the overall condition of the colon. This program is based on peristalsis/hydration, bulk, and lubrication in the colon. The 30 Day Advanced Cleansing Program of CleanseSMART, FibreSMART, and OilSMART is the most advanced and effective cleansing formulation available." - BRENDA WATSON N.D. C.T.
