Introduction:
- Small intestine, large intestine (colon) and rectum make up the intestinal
system - Main functions are to break down and absorb nutrients, first line of defense
against pathogens (such as bacteria, viruses, fungus) and chemical irritation. - Digestive system dysfunction is linked with most chronic and degenerative
diseases - Strong emotions and responses to stress are well known triggers of intestinal
problems - Nutrients cannot be properly processed or absorbed when the small intestine
is inflamed. This can result in colitis, Crohns, celiac disease, and ulcerative
colitis. - Inflammation and swelling in the intestines may lead to leaky gut syndrome,
which occurs when there is an increased absorption of toxic materials into the
lymph and blood stream - Antibiotics, food allergies, microorganisms, drugs and other chemicals can all
cause leaky gut syndrome. - Other concerns include constipation, diarrhea, maintaining regularity, nervous
irritability, effect of antibiotics on the normal bacterial flora. - Click here to read about Inflammatory Bowel Disorders and possible natural
remedies.
Lifestyle Suggestions to support the Intestinal System:
- Eat high fiber fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
- Be a poop detective - analyze your stool
- Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily. To make your own purified water
- through Reverse Osmosis, you can order the Nature’s Spring Ro
from Nature’s Sunshine.
- Avoid foods made with white flour and/or sugar. Click here for a list of
foods containing gluten. - Eat yogurt and other natural fermented foods.
- Avoid frequent use of stimulant laxatives.
- Engage in moderate regular exercise such as walking or bicycling.
- Learn to handle stress. If stress is a problem, try to reduce the stressors in
- your life, consider learning relaxation techniques, and/or take the nutritional
stress supplement Stress Formula.
- Take a daily fiber supplement such as Fat Grabbers, Psyllium Hulls,
- Avoid antibiotics and other drugs that harm the body's friendly flora.
- Periodically supplement your diet with Bifidophilus Flora Force or
Acidophilus/Bifidobacterium - especially important after an antibiotic is
taken. Herbasaurs Chewable Bifidophilus is available for children.
- Periodically Cleanse the Colon: If you eat meat and/or dairy products, I
- recommend a colon cleanse four times a year (using the season changes as
reminders.) If you eat no meat or dairy products then cleanse the colon
twice a year (in the Spring and again in the Fall.) Three cleanse programs
you may alternate with are BOD-E KLENZ, TIAO HE PAK &
CANDIDA CLEAR However, I recommend that once a year you should
cleanse with a parasite cleanse called Para Pak.
