Starting new raw juice fast - restoring colonic tone

March 24, 2008

I've had a very recent problem with chronic constipation (about two

months). I'm using psyllium husk (3 tbsp. daily, although I do miss

some days), and have had to use senna, 2 caps, at least 3 times a

week. It has not been as efficient as it should have been when I do

use it, however.

I know I must be very toxic. This has never been a problem for me in

the past, so I trust that if I can just get thoroughly cleaned out I

will be fine, again.

I am beginning a new raw juice fast today, in the hope that it will

help restore a healthier balance in my body. I drink a LOT of water,

already....well over the 8 glasses a day that are recommended. I

have a high fiber diet - vegetarian - limited refined flours and

sugars - plenty of legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables. I'm

increasing my activity level, hoping that will help, as well.

I believe that my body has gotten out of balance, and I just need to

restore it to health. Any ideas?

Thanks! - Lynda

It sounds like you use do many of the right things. You may need a more tailored approach to treating your colon. Psyllium might not be enough, you might need some herbs to help heal inflamation and things, or maybe some bentonite clay. If fasting doesn't get things to working / operating properly I would visit with a naturopath (if you have one in your area). It could take some serious work to loosen age old blockages. Otherwise you might do a specific colon cleanse, the one by Dr. Schutze is a good one, get his bowel care book with the kit. There is also colonics to look into. Good luck, please keep us updated with what works for you!

Lynda, If you can, read the book "Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko. In this book you'll find that the "green smoothies" can make your bowels work much better.
