Source: Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity, Daniel Reid, Fireside, New
York, p 101-102. Constipation Excessive consumption of devitalized and cooked foods, especially in incompatible combinations, results in sluggish bowels and chronic con- stipation; the colon fills with feces and toxic by-products of fermentation and putrefaction, which impairs peristalsis, irritates the colon, and even- tually poisons the bloodstream by osmosis; colonic irrigations are the firststep in correcting constipation, followed by nutritional therapy. Figs: fresh or sun-dried figs cleanse the bowels of toxic waste and mucus and serve as a natural laxative; for an excellent therapeutic drink for constipation, put 3 figs in a blender with one ripe banana, 2 tbsp molasses and 1 cup water and blend till smooth. Molasses: 1 tbsp in warm water, twice daily. Spinach: raw spinach is nature's best remedy for irritated and sluggish bowels; as juice mix 6 oz spinach with 10 oz carrot, 2 pints daily. Carrot: grated raw carrots supplemented with 2 pints raw carrot juice should be consumed daily by those with chronic constipation. Other beneficial foods: papaya; squash; raw apples; ripe bananas; raw almonds. Foods to avoid: never use mineral oil as a laxative: it robs the digestive tract of all oil-soluble vitamins, such as A, E & D, and is not as effective as figs or molasses; also avoid pasteurized milk, cooked eggs, overcooked meats, and refined starch. |
