![]() GMO Foods and Your Digestive Tract |
|||||||||||||||||||
What would you say if I told you that you're probably eating insecticides every day? And I don't mean insecticides that were sprayed on your food. I'll explain in a minute... Today, I want to talk to you about a subject that may be related to your constipation. It's certainly affecting your overall health and well-being. Agriculture has entered unknown and dangerous territory. The changes have been dramatic -- yet most of it happened without anybody noticing. Government regulatory bodies let this slip right under our noses. Let me start with a specific example... Today, most corn grown in the United States and Canada comes from seeds produced by a company you may have heard of -- Monsanto. These seeds aren't your grandfather's corn. They have cleverly figured out how to make insecticides part of the DNA structure of corn. So instead of spraying the crop, the poisons are already part of its genetic makeup. For the past few DECADES raw ingredients (grains, fruits, vegetables, oils, etc.) at our grocery stores have been replaced by new life forms... Genetically Modified Organisms GMO seeds produce crops faster, cheaper and at higher yields. What's more, they are not considered "food." That way companies like Monsanto can put patents on the seeds. That may not sound like a big deal until you take into account that Monsanto sells STERILE seeds. Yes, that's right. You plant them. You grow them. But you can't harvest seeds for next year's crop. You have to go back to Monsanto. Many scientists are predicting this could spell widespread famine. Especially if the seeds find their way into third world countries. I think the scientists who originally started genetically tampering with our produce had good intentions. They wanted to find a way to more cost-effectively grow crops. The more we can grow, with less effort, the less food will cost and the more people can be fed. But There Are Consequences to These Shortcuts What type of consequences? Well, that's still up for debate. Why? Because VERY LITTLE testing has been done on genetically modified foods. Correction. A BIG test is currently going on. With you. With me. With our children. Skip the lab rats, let's just feed it to the public! The Japanese, who have banned GMO foods in their country, are keenly watching our children for the next decade. They want to see what GMO food does to them. The list of possible side-effects is endless. But, I wanted to bring this to your attention as GMO food could very likely be contributing to your constipation, bloating and other digestive tract upsets. I'm trying to cover all angles, so that we can get you bowels healthy as soon as possible. Yours in Natural Health, Dr. Karlo Mauro, BSc, BA, MSEd, ND |
In 1992 Dr. Mauro began training in the martial art of Aikido Yoshinkai. In 2003, he earned a 3rd degree black belt. It was Aikido that originally opened his eyes to living a more natural lifestyle -- staying more balanced physically and mentally. In 1995, he began receiving help from a Naturopathic Doctor for some digestive trouble he was experiencing. This first introduction to natural medicine resulted in him meeting other Naturopathic Doctors and finally making a life-changing decision. Despite the fact he had just completed 6 years of university, including a Masters degree in Education, Dr. Mauro abandoned his teaching career, entered Naturopathic College, emerging four years later an ND. Dr. Mauro lives in Windsor, Ontario with his wife Natalia, son Alek and daughter Ella. When he's not at the clinic, he's either watching Alek play golf, watching Ella in gymnastics class or coaching Alek's soccer team.Though he's helped patients with a wide variety of disorders, he's found the most success helping people with gut trouble. "I like the fact it's so easy to see an improvement," he says. "If you're constipated, only going once a week, and you start going everyday, you KNOW you're getting better."
Sometimes, even if you are going once a day, it's difficult because your stools are too hard and dry.
One of the problems with laxatives is that they don't produce this banana-like quality. Instead they bring on diarrhea. Diarrhea is dehydrating and depleting of valuable nutrients (such as potassium and sodium). Dr. Mauro's 7-part email series and his collection of 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women help produce this ideal consistency because they help you retrain your bowels to work properly. When your colon is in good health, it will naturally make sure your stools are neither too dry nor too hard.
It's no wonder," says Dr. Mauro, "that so many women suffer eating disorders. If you're not evacuating, it's hard to make room for more food. If waste can't find its way down and out, it's going to make your stomach bulge outward and upward. In fact, your colon can expand three times its regular size (along with your stomach). The secret to a normal appetite is making sure you are emptying your bowels every 24 hours." You should have no problem achieving one or two bowel movements a day, if you make the simple changes outlined in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women. This should happen in less than 30 days of using these strategies.
Many women experience breakthrough bleeding, decreased appetite, depression, headaches, low libido, urinary tract infection, skin problems, gum inflammation. They also have an increased risk of contracting viral diseases. Considering all the risks, is this really a good way to "balance your hormones?" Especially when natural methods may produce far superior (and economical) results... Oftentimes hormonal imbalance is caused by a high consumption of white flour and sugary foods. These same foods turn into a glue-like substance that further clogs up your bowels. By following the natural remedies and lifestyle changes in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women, you'll be helping to bring your hormones into balance, naturally. Likewise, getting your bowels moving will stop toxins from backing up into your bloodstream, which will further knock your hormones out of whack. "It is estimated that there are 36 different poisons that come from the colon, and as these accumulate in the bowel over a period of weeks, months or often years, they spread into your liver, gallbladder and other organs; into your blood; into your tissues and finally into your cells." -- Women's Menopause Health Newsletter, October 2007
Senna is one of the few herbs medical doctors prescribe. Unfortunately, it's harmful to use on a daily basis. Once a week as part of a colon cleanse is okay, but more frequently is impairing. The effects of senna can be fairly drastic," explains Dr. Mauro. "They tend to flush out too much of the healthy bacteria. It's like having diarrhea. It's dehydrating and depleting of your electrolytes (potassium and sodium)." I don't know about you but I don't want to be dependent on an herb to make me go. Worse still, you have little control over your bowel movements. You go when the herb is ready to make you go. There's not much warning. That's fine if you're 80 and don't leave home. That's not great when you're on your way to soccer practice to pick up the kids. Senna is also dangerous for people with high blood pressure, kidney problems or edema. Healing and strengthening your colon so it can function on its own, as described in 37 Constipation Relief Strategies For Women, is the way to go.
As you can see, there's a lot of money in keeping people constipated and reliant on laxatives. No wonder Dr. Mauro's 37 Constipation Relief Strategies are not more well known. Digestive disorders account for the largest amount of lost time from work; they are the number one cause of disability absence; they comprise one-sixth of all hospital admissions. It is acknowledged by conventional medicine that at least 40 percent of all cancers originate in the gastrointestinal tract. Many alternative practitioners would say the number is much higher." — Women's Menopause Health Center Newsletter , October 2007

"In fact, parasites have killed more humans than all the wars in history." Find out how to kick parasites out of your colon in Strategy 33, on page 35, of 37 Constipation Relief Strategies For Women.
