Cure Constipation Now: A Doctor's Fiber Therapy to Cleanse and Heal

by Wes Jones

An easy-to-follow plan to regain a healthy gastrointestinal system-and relieve problems from gas to bloating to IBS. Close to 100 million Americans suffer from chronic-and sometimes very serious- gastrointestinal conditions. Prominent gastroenterologist Dr. Wesley Jones has found that virtually all digestive problems have one single underlying cause-constipation. Our modern diets and stressful lifestyles can make poor digestion such a common experience that sometimes people don't even recognize it as a problem. Here, Dr. Jones provides a proven program that has already helped thousands relieve and prevent constipation-related gastrointestinal problems for life. No one wants to talk about constipation, but millions suffer from it. Take as evidence the ubiquitous ads for Dannon's billion-dollar brand, Activia, which features Jamie Lee Curtis talking about "occasional irregularity." Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints in the United States, resulting in about two million doctor visits annually. However, most people treat themselves without seeking medical help, as is evident from the millions of dollars Americans spend on laxatives each year. Now, this book will offer them a safe, proven, easy-to-follow program to relieve constipation once and for all. Because it's not just uncomfortable-it's unhealthy!

[Tim Carter · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book, not so much for its length (I find the chapters too long, too many, somewhat repetitive, and I'd have preferred a "different", or more, structure). HOWEVER this book had a lasting impact on me because the author confirmed my "feeling" about that topic: The lifelong intoxication of the bloodstream through the GI tract! Which is the prime reason for countless illnesses, from arthritis to cancer, and much in between.

Thus this book is a genuine life-saver for people: Very few people realize what they do to their health when they (frankly) "carry around the garbage bag all day".

I fear, the length and medical detail may not wake up enough people - and the repetitions seem not to increase the transfer of learning either, thus sadly it seems not to "reach" enough people whose life it could save (which always means prolong, because no one's life can be saved...)
