Constipation

Been having constipation these since this morning .......

And one day before the holidays. Sheez...

Having written so many posts on colon cancer and cleansing and watching countless YT videos on the symptoms, I do hope it is nothing serious.

I am on senna tablets now. If this does not work, will go see my family doc tomorrow.

Who Needs a Colon Cleanse ?

Many people are under the impression that unless they are diagnosed with a certain condition or told to have a colon cleanse by a doctor or if they are threatened by major diseases such as colon cancer then they will probably never need to undergo a colon cleansing session themselves.

For anyone who is researching colon cleansing comes to wonder if they need one, the simple answer is ‘Yes’, everyone will benefit from having a full detox diet and colon cleanse session in their lives at some point, no matter how healthy they are. People all over the world would all benefit from having a regular colon cleanse and detox session and there is no harm or side effects involved so many people do as they feel better and more happy with themselves afterwards.

Having a colon cleanse is refreshing for the body overall and lets your body get rid of all the toxins and waste that build up in all the bodily systems over time.

Some of the tell tale signs that arise in people who could really benefit from a colon cleanse are feeling tired, constipations, lack of energy, fatigue, cramping, joint ache and if you are suffering from allergies that you normally don’t have trouble with.

In general, having a colon cleanse twice a year is the most beneficial for all people and this can keep your immune system and all bodily functions working perfectly in order for you to maximize your nutrient intake and overall health.

Colon cleansing is especially beneficial to ill and elderly people and can help to keep their organs young, fresh and healthy and in peak working condition. As we get older our bodies and organs start working slower and less efficiently, a helping hand in keeping our bodies free of toxic build up and waste is always a good idea. In our every day lives we take in so much toxic matter, the environment, stress, work and malnutrition all help us to become tired and weary as well as our organs and body systems, they need rejuvenation just as we need sleep. Colon cleaners can work on removing the excess toxins and helping our bodies to work efficiently and our circulation to get back to its ideal rates.

For everyone who is beginning a detox diet, a colon cleanse should be performed before hand as in order to start cleansing over organs and systems in our body, we need the colon and intestines to be working perfectly. When we begin to detoxify all our bodily organs, the waste that is excreted from these organs will need to pass through the colon to be release, if the colon I not working at its optimum rate then this will cause further complications and stress on the colon.

There are many ways to perform a colon cleanse and the more natural the better in these cases as it puts less stress on the body and the toxins can leave in a natural and safe fashion. Online searches and consulting a local doctor can provide you with a lot of choices and methods regarding colon cleansing and you will be able to decide which is the most appropriate for your particular situation and which one you would be most comfortable with.

Surviving Colon Cancer

This is a video about Becky Moran who is a 2-year colon cancer survivor.

"I didn't have any symptoms and had nobody in my family that I knew of that had ever had it, so it was kind of unusual" says Becky.

Watch on about her story, hopes, fight against colon cancer and family/friend support !

Awareness is Key to Fighting Colon Cancer

Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer, is the third most prevalent cancer in the United States. It was reported that last year alone more than 100,000 people living in the U.S. have started receiving treatment for colon cancer and this figure does not include the number of patients that succumbed to this disease in that same year. Almost 50,000 have died from it over the past year.

It is sad to think that amidst all the medical breakthroughs now available for the early detection of colon cancer, scores of people still have to die from it. Although the number of casualties is staggering, this is, in fact, a far cry from the record-high incidence of deaths caused by colon cancer back in the 80’s and early 90’s when much of the modern medical facilities we have now were still unavailable.

As with all types of cancer, the chances of anyone surviving from colon cancer is greatest when it is detected early. People who are at risk of contracting this disease should have themselves examined by a physician periodically. Men and women have about the same probability of acquiring colon cancer but there are factors that make some of us more susceptible to this disease than others.

The following conditions could make one a candidate for colon cancer:

• Mature individuals who are at least 50 years old
• Individuals who have developed cancer in the past but who may have recovered from it.
• Known family members who have suffered from either colon or rectum cancer either polyposis or non–polyposis in nature.
• If tumors have been found in your system especially along the lining of the rectum.
• If you have a medical past on any of the two inflammatory bowel diseases (either Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis)
• If you’ve observed that you have a genetic disease called familial adenomatous polyposis.

People who don’t have any of the conditions above may less likely develop colon cancer but there has been cases, although few, in which colon cancer has been found to develop in these individuals. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to your health at all times.

See to it that none of the following symptoms are bothering you for these are manifestations of colon cancer:

• Bowel movement patterns have changed
• Your weight has gone down and your normal activities easily wear you out.
• You experience pains in your belly or tummy which is gassy in nature.
• You are prone to diarrhea or constipation and that you still feel discomfort even after bowel movement.
• There is blood mixed in your stool.
• There’s a feeling of nausea frequently
• The appearance of your stool, particularly the size looks different from normal

If more than one of these symptoms are experienced it is advisable to consult a doctor. The presence of colon cancer can be determined by using any of several procedures now available and these are done to check on the rectal areas and the blood.

As said previously, the earlier colon cancer is treated the greater one’s chances are to recover from it. By knowing the nature of colon cancer and how vulnerable we are to the disease is one of the ways that we could help ourselves and maybe others too, to win over this malady.
