"One very good thing to remember when we are overtaken by fatigue, distress, or adverse reactions in our body is the fact that our colon is perhaps responsible for more trouble and mischief within our anatomy than all other causes and conditions put together." – Dr Norman Walker
Bowel management is not a subject that comes readily to mind when we consider our health options. The bowel, after all, looks after itself and doesn’t need “management”.
And then we get colo-rectal cancer – the Number 2 cancer killer in Australia today!
But it is worse than that. Even if we do not get colo-rectal cancer, we do not function at our best if the bowel does not function at its best. Says Dr Bernard Jensen…
"In the fifty years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s ills."
The problem we are facing in ALL sectors of health care, including the alternative sector, is that bowel management is easily overlooked. In hospitals the doctor will ask you if your bowels opened that day. That’s bowel management, hospital style. But clearly there is more to it than that…
Dr Norman Walker, considered to be one of our leading natural therapists, says that due to our debilitating lifestyles it is “almost impossible” to find a fully functioning colon… and constipation, which is the incomplete evacuation of feces, is just one of the problems we face, and a most common one.
Worse still, is the build-up of filth on the inside of the bowel walls. Indeed many people carry around 10, 20 or 30 pounds of hardened fecal matter called “mucoid plaque” which harbors all sorts of pathogenic organisms, including parasites which multiply at the rate of up to 200,000 eggs per day! On a worldwide scale parasites outrank cancer as our deadliest enemy!
Bowel mis-management lies at the center of our ills. What is the good of eating the best organic produce money can buy, if the worms gobble up the best part of it and if the remainder cannot be absorbed because of the mucoid plaque that lines the insides of the alimentary tract?
If we seek health, a properly functioning bowel should be at the center of our concerns and this book, possibly the only one of its kind, offers a series of tried and proven strategies to manage the bowel, one of them being a secret yogic technique that very few know about.
To sum up, it goes without saying that if poor bowel management lies at the root of our ills, then good bowel management is the long lost secret of health!
In a word, I messed up. Had a great start, won a Commonwealth Scholarship to University, did great in sports, represented my school in swimming, represented the University in Judo, in short I was just the sort of guy who would succeed. So what went wrong? I ended up taxi-driving, picking fruit, doing cleaning jobs, delivery jobs, was a driving instructor once and so on. Got fired from most of my jobs, bummed around for awhile, for a long while, actually, etc, etc. Got into trouble with the law, etc, etc. Perfect life for an author, but not recommended otherwise...
