Cascara, energy, cancer and the FDA's laxative abuse.
"Despite the greater prevalence of constipation in women and older people, even specialists in gastroenterology are very unlikely to consider the role of hypothyroidism or other endocrine problems in chronic constipation."
"Aging and stress increase some of the inflammatory mediators, tending to reduce the barrier function of the bowel, letting larger amounts of bacterial toxins enter the bloodstream, interfering with energy metabolism, creating inflammatory vicious circles of increasing leakiness and inflammation."
"Often people visualize something like a sausage casing when they think of the intestine, but when the intestine is becoming inflamed its wall may swell to become an inch thick. As it thickens, the channel narrows to a few millimeters in diameter, and may even close in some regions. In the swollen, edematous, inflamed condition the contractile mechanism of the smooth muscle is impaired. The failure of contraction is caused by the same structural changes that increase permeability. (Garcia, et al., 1996; Skarsgard, et al., 2000; Plaku and von der Weid, 2006; Uray, et al., 2006; Miller and Sims, 1986; Schouten, et al., 2008; Gosling, et al., 2000.)"
"Obviously, in the very swollen, structurally deformed intestine, with almost no lumen [very constricted but thick walls], neither a stimulant nor a simple fibrous bulk could restore functioning, because even with stimulation the smooth muscle is unable to contract, and the closed channel won’t admit bulk. Even gas is sometimes unable to pass through the inflamed intestine. Mechanical thinking about the intestine fails when inflammation is involved; now that inflammation is known to play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease and heart disease, it will be more acceptable to consider its role in constipation."
"The contractile ability of smooth muscle, that’s impaired by swelling and inflammation, can be restored by antiinflammatory agents, for example aspirin (or other inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis) or antihistamines."
"Emodin and the anthraquinones (and naphthoquinones, such as lapachone) weren’t the reagents that Koch considered the most powerful, but emodin can produce to some degree all of the effects that he believed could be achieved by correcting the cellular respiratory apparatus: Antiinflammatory, antifibrotic (Wang, et al., 2007) antiviral, antidepressant, heart protective, antioxidant, memory enhancing, anticancer, anxiolytic and possibly antipsychotic."
"An effective laxative (besides preventing inflammation) causes not only coordinated contraction of the smooth muscles of the intestine, but also adjusts secretions and absorption, so that an appropriate amount of fluid stays in the intestine, and the cells of the intestine don’t become water-logged."
"In the presence of bacterial endotoxin, respiratory energy production fails in the cells lining the intestine. Nitric oxide is probably the main mediator of this effect.
The shift from respiration to glycolysis, from producing carbon dioxide to producing lactic acid, involves a global change in cell functions, away from specialized differentiated functioning, toward defensive and inflammatory processes."
"This global change involves a change in the physical properties of the cytoplasm, causing a tendency to swell, and to admit dissolved substances that normally wouldn’t enter the cells.
The interface between the cells lining the intestine and the bacteria-rich environment involves processes similar to those in cells at other interfacial situations throughout the body--kidney, bladder, secretory membranes of glands, capillary cells, etc. The failure of the intestinal barrier is especially dangerous, because of the generalized toxic consequences, but the principles of maintaining and restoring it are general, and they have to do with the nature of life."
"Besides endotoxin, estrogen, vibrational injury, radiation, aging, cold, and hypoosmolarity, increase NO synthesis and release, and increase cellular permeabilities throughout the body.
Estrogen excess (relative to progesterone and androgens), as in pregnancy, stress, and aging, reduces intestinal motility, probably by increasing nitric oxide production. The anthraquinones inhibit the formation of nitric oxide, which is constantly being promoted by endotoxin."
"When these intrinsic corrective processes are inadequate, as in hypothyroidism, with increased estrogen and serotonin, extrinsic factors, including special foods and drugs, can reinforce the adaptive mechanisms. These “adaptogens” can sometimes restore the system to perfect functioning, other times they can merely prevent further injury. Sometimes the adaptogens are exactly like those the body normally has, but that are needed in larger amounts during stress. Coenzyme Q10, vitamin K, short-chain fatty acids, ketoacids, niacinamide, and glycine are examples of this sort--they are always present, but increased amounts can improve resistance to stress."
"Another kind of adaptogen resembles the body’s intrinsic defensive substances, but isn’t produced in significant quantities in our bodies. This type includes caffeine and the anthraquinones (such as emodin) and aspirin and other protective substances from plants. These overlap in functions with some of our intrinsic regulatory substances, and can also complement each other’s effects."
"The anthraquinones, like other antiinflammatory substances, reduce leakage from blood vessels, but they also reduce the absorption of water from the intestine."

No. It's going to work out mayweatherking. Don't be sad.Is there any steps anywhere from someone that recovered from.thus? like all the info in the world is telling me the oroblem, I.take the thyroid, I.have ingrsted probably 2k mg of mag all ready, I still feel it, my hair is shedding like crazy. I honestly feel like a genetic mistake. ******* finasteride man. im losing everythjng. im.like really at my last straw here. man I cant believe im here and saythjg this. this is so sad. man. God.
After reducing fiber to well under 5g/day, taking large amounts of calcium has been huge for me, 1500-2000mg/day. Calcium combines with bile and saturated fats in the intestine to create a soap that protects your intestine, makes things move smoothly, and makes it harder for bacteria to grow. It's one of the secrets to achieving the legendary ghost wipe all the time. The problem people run into taking a lot of calcium, though, is constipation. This happens because you don't get enough magnesium in proportion to calcium. I find that, at a minimum, I have to take at least 0.5g magnesium for every 1g calcium, but it's better if I get closer to a 1-to-1 ratio. If your bowels run too fast, then cut back the magnesium and/or don't take it on an empty stomach. Probably in the past, magnesium was more abundant in the soil, so more of it ended up in the foods we eat, so calcium-induced constipation wasn't as much of a problem, and not having invented toilet paper wasn't a problem because of plenty of calcium soap in the intestine if you consumed much calcium (probably also more abundant in the soil). So I supplement magnesium glycinate or citrate according to my calcium intake.
I found this article extremely helpful in learning about some of these things:

HD: Ok, back to endotoxins, how are they harmful for our health?
RP: Uhm, it triggers all series of reactions and it seems to be physical-chemical process that stirs up a cell to recognize a threat and set off a chain of reactions, and it's the things that it sets in action that really causes the chronic cumulative degenerative damage. One of the first thing that it does on exciting a cell is to cause the cell to take up calcium and to activate the synthesis of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide and the cell excitation that goes with absorbing calcium trigger other reactions; small amount of endotoxin can stimulate the intestine to contract more, but if the cells are getting overloaded with it, that and other irritants can cause cells to produce so much nitric oxide that the nitric oxide becomes a major metabolic disruptor, and will cause the intestine to lose the ability to contract; it will poison the respiratory apparatus so the cells can't make energy to fight back, at that point with increased nitric oxide, reduced energy and taking up calcium, the cells also take up water.
HD: And then they become basically non-functioning to a degree.
RP: Uhm, yeah, they're under stress and if the body can deliver enough energy to them quickly, they can excrete the water and the calcium, turn of the nitric oxide and return to normal functioning; but when they swell up, another place that textbooks give a simplified mistaken idea of what is involved in bowel damage from endotoxin, they talk about the leakage between cells, as if the cells loose the glue that holds them in contact with each other, so holes upen up between cells; that does happen, but it isn't necessarily the worst way that endotoxin gets into the cells and passes through the cells. The whole structure of the cells, the cytoplasm, as it takes up water instead of being fat-like and tending to exclude wasser and prefering to absorb fats, the introduction of this sugar-connected to a fat acts like a soap and make the cells tending to admit not only more water but pretty much anything that is in its environment; so the whole substance of the cells becomes kind of spongy and leaky. When this starts affecting the whole organism, that kind of change occurs all through the body, once the stuff has passed through lining of the intestine, and crosses across capilaries, and gets into the bloodstream, then the endotoxin starts doing the same thing to any cell that comes to. So it will leak out of capilaries, no matter where it is in the bloodstream, if the liver hasn't filtered it. So, if it happens to reach the brain, it will cause the brain capilaries to leak whatever is in the bloodstream, so it can contribute to multiple sclerosis. Endotoxin leaking into the brain does the same thing, triggers the release of nitric oxide and a whole chain of chemical reactions that every organ has a particular way of responding to it. But the generality, no matter what the organ, there are basic defense reactions that will occur not only to endotoxin but to any radical threat to the survival of the cell, x and gamma-rays, will produce essentially the same kind of change in brain cells or bowel cells that endotoxin does. So, if you're overexposed to x-rays for example, you'll get constipated. In the same way, the overexposure to endotoxin will cause consipation.
Foods with manganese cause a poop. Soaked almonds first thing for breakfast. then cacao, cacao is great for manganese. Black rice is another food that has manganese.Thoughts on avoiding constipation? I have improved my health and digestion tremendously since adopting a pro Peat diet, but i am still susceptible to getting backed up somehow still. My guess is that it comes from having a pretty high liquid diet. I rarely ever drink water, unless you count in my coffee or cokes. My liquid per day usually consists of:
I usually salt foods generously and eat a moderate starch diet but not excessive. I also feel pretty good, so its far from a terrible state that i am in. Just miss my morning # 2 right now!
- 1-2 cups of OJ in the morning
- 2-3 Mexican Cokes per day
- 2-3 coffees per day with milk
Thanks. Cacao is a great food. So is maple syrup. Recommending almonds might not be the best look. PUFA central.Foods with manganese cause a poop. Soaked almonds first thing for breakfast. then cacao, cacao is great for manganese. Black rice is another food that has manganese.
No issue with almonds. Because the vitamin E helps mitigate pufa
I was recently in China for 6 weeks, eating local and catered food (at a yoga centre) and can guarantee all that oily chinese food kept my bowels squeaky...
1 mvt before coffee, 1 after coffee and another before class at 9am! Sometimes I get 4 mvts a day too. :-D
Too bad they stopped using tea seed oil for cooking
I would have preferred that to mass produced stuff in giant 4-litre plastic bottles...
almost used up a whole bottle of Tocovit smeared all over my arms after every meal...
+1Interesting. I have found eating more fat has kept my bowel movements the most regular they have been in years. Of course the fat I eat is saturated, so perhaps it is a feature of fat, not just PUFA oil like the Chinese food you ate.
