Dr. Bernard Jensen recommended eating at specific times of the day
for Bowel Regularity. Bowel Regularity was one of his primary areas
of Focus. He did more than recommend Bowel Cleansing.
I am wanting to interrupt the Bowel Pattern that has been a major influence
through recent Falls-Winters. I get intense inflammation and diarrhea as well
as hemorroid bleeding.
You can check out recent Blogs this week for deeper info on my mental state.
I am sure digestion is influenced by many factors
including not being able to digest our experience.
Most of us have too many experiences.
The Essene Teaching goes: Patience and Experience.
Patience is like a drink to imbibe between Experience.
Most of us are living the fast track.
Dr. Bernard Jensen suggested eating the final meal between 5 and 6 PM.
I have been doing this, or near this, the last two days.
I am seeking some kind of Bowel Regularity.
This morning is the second day of not eating too late.
This seems to be working.
Dr ANDREW WEIL ON CROHN's Disease:

A lot of these recommendations are similar to those I have been following.
What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for Crohn's disease?
Initially, patients should see practitioners of traditional not sure if she meant modern or traditional here...Chinese medicine. Their modern approach includes acupuncture and herbal remedies in addition to dietary adjustment and, possibly, massage and energy work, an approach that can yield very good results. Ayurvedic medicine, radical dietary change, and long-term fasting (under supervision) can also be helpful. A low fat, high fiber diet may also provide a benefit, but during the active stages of the illness, it is best to avoid raw fruits and vegetables and seeds and nuts because they will irritate the digestive system.
Here are some other measures that can help:
Avoid coffee, including decaffeinated varieties (which may still contain some caffeine), all other sources of caffeine and all stimulant drugs.
Avoid milk, milk protein (casein) and all milk products. Remove any products made with carageenan from your diet. (Read labels on soy products carefully).
Avoid products sweetened with sorbitol, xylitol, or other sugar alcohols.
Take slippery elm in the form of gruel: Combine one teaspoon of the powder with one teaspoon of sugar and two cups of boiling water. Stir well. Flavor with cinnamon and drink one or two cups twice a day.
IF cramping is a problem, take enteric-coated capsules of peppermint oil between meals to relieve the spasmodic component of inflammatory bowel disease
Practice breathing exercises for relaxation.
Because stress can worsen symptoms, take a course in biofeedback or experiment with hypnotherapy and guided imagery to use the mind/body connection to heal the gut.
Consider psychotherapy or cognitive behavioral therapy to work on emotional conflicts that can exacerbate symptoms.
To address inflammation, increase your dietary omega-3 fatty acids by taking supplemental fish oil, start with one gram a day and increase slowly to two to four grams a day. If there is any increase in diarrhea, and cut back the supplement dose if necessary.
