Great Construction

Chills and Constipation

     The source of feeling cold are the local fevers that produce chillness or the poor circulation caused by localized instances of solidified accumulations of toxins. Most people feel coldness in the small of the back, lower stomach, instep, and toes, particularly women, but all these instances are easily healed as fever subsides or as circulation improves when the hardened accumulations of toxins are dissolved.
     Constipation is a very common symptom that some suffer over a long period. The cause of this condition is the solidified accumulations of toxins in the peritoneum which constrict the rectum. Excrement finds it difficult to pass through the rectal canal, but this condition is also easily healed when the solidified toxins are dissolved.
     Individuals who tend to be constipated use laxatives continually through which, though it may be accompanied by pain, they can eliminate, but laxative usage is most unsatisfactory. Usage becomes a habit, the constipation gradually worsens, and users find it difficult to eliminate without the continual ingestion of laxatives. Moreover, over a long period of time, the condition increasingly worsens and either greater amounts of laxatives have to be taken or else different varieties of laxatives have to be used. In addition, the toxins from the laxatives accumulate within the body, and they become the source of various diseases.
     It is natural that food is ingested from the top and eliminated from the bottom of the human body, and that is how the body was fashioned by the Creator. As long as every human being, no matter who, does ingest food, its excrement is thus eliminated. Depending on the person, however, one individual may eliminate once a day; others, once in two days; and others, once a week. That is perfectly all right.
     Medical science, however, mistakenly interprets constipation to be harmful to health, and efforts are made to publicize that everyone should have stools every day, so the general populace worries excessively about constipation. When individuals become constipated they feel psychological unpleasantness and take up the use of laxatives. By eliminating through the ingestion of laxatives, however, functions for producing stools deteriorate, causing constipation. Then these individuals use laxatives because they are constipated, and a vicious cycle is formed so that they come to the point where they cannot live without laxatives. When a fever develops laxatives are often used to cause a stool and lower temperature, but conversely this measure harms the healing process and impedes complete recovery. In addition, there are some varieties of illness where the use of laxatives may lead to higher body temperatures.
     Let me give some actual examples of why constipation need be of no concern. Previously when I treated a patient for stomach cancer, a period of constipation continued for twenty-eight days with no effect whatsoever on his illness. This is all very clear from seeing that he recovered completely and several years later, took up farming full time. In addition, among other patients I have treated, one person experienced constipation for a period of two months, and another individual, for six months, and both reported that there was no harmful influence due to the constipation. Later, an example that had been written up in one of the women’s magazines was the story of someone who experienced constipation for two years without any abnormality.
     Medical science also holds that if left untreated, constipation will cause autotoxemia, but this is also erroneous. This theory exists probably because it was imagined that excrement toxins would become mixed with the blood but such should never occur. The only thing that does happen to excrement if it stays in the body is that as time passes, it will gradually harden but it does not cause any kind of harm.
     Enemas are used on infants, but these measures should be cause for great concern. Continued enema usage results in addiction, and there are numerous examples where infants lose the ability to eliminate without an enema. As a result, when the child gets to be about three or fours years of age, they feel very full and pain in the stomach at the slightest build up of excrement in the body. Enemas are unavoidably used and relief is obtained temporarily, but needless to say the condition continues until death. Such instances show that enemas are extremely unnatural measures that should absolutely be stopped.
