Some people may think GMO foods would have nothing to do with constipation. Maybe so. Maybe not. Point is... we don't know! Hardly any testing has been done on these new life forms. In fact, one of the few tests done on genetically modified potatoes produced cancerours tumours in rats. Interesting, when you consider how many woman and men find potatoes upset their digestive tract. Many of my patients know that if they eat potatoes, they'll end up constipated. Of course, if you read Constipation Relief Strategy #2 in my volume, 37 Constipation Relief Strategies for Women, potatoes won't bother you as much if you prepare them in a way that doesn't increase their drying effect. If you love french fires, try this instead: NON-CONSTIPATING "FRENCH FRY" RECIPE: 1. Slice some potatoes up into six wedges. 2. Melt organic butter or coconut butter on baking pan or dish (preferably glass). Note: Most other vegetable/nut based oils become toxic at high heat. 4. Add unrefined sea salt and any other spices you care for (e.g., cayenne pepper or chili pepper will give the potatoes a nice kick). 5. Add the potato wedges to the pan and coat in the butter, salt and spices. 6. Now position the wedges so they are not touching. 7. Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 45-60 minutes. They'll come out crispy but not nearly as drying as deep fried foods. The insides are nice and moist. BUT.... this is important. Use organic potatoes. Not commercial potatoes. Even if it's from your local farmer's market. Chances are the seed potatoes were genetically modified. I don't want you to freak out about GMO foods. And if you can't afford to buy all organic, at least make a point of buying... * organic potatoes Non-organic sources of these foods are almost always genetically modified. "Rice, genetically engineered to contain pharmaceutical drugs, is being grown in test fields and may be approved for commercial production." Unbelievable! Especially considering they've already tried introducing human liver genes into the mix also. So switch to organic with those specific foods at least. And make sure it's certified organic. Some of the above foods may be causing you to have irregular bowel movements. Switching to their "original" versions may help rectify your digestion tract issues. 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.
