The very best way I know to induce
regular bowel movements -- at least
two every day -- is by eating four
tablespoons of fresh-ground, organic
flaxseed. You must grind it yourself, and then add it to juice
or food. Flaxseed oil does not work
nearly as well.

I've recommended this solution to
dozens of constipated friends. And
so far, ALL of them became VERY
regular within 36 hours. One woman,
who's at least 125 lbs overweight,
told me she'd had no more than one
bowel movement a week for the last
ten years. I ground some flax for her, and stirred it into juice. The
next night, she told me sheepishly
that she'd had the three most
memorable bowel movements of her
life.

You can buy organic golden flaxseed
in health food stores like Whole
Foods Mkt. You can also buy it on
the internet. Try to get golden
organic flaxseed. If it's not available, get the organic dark flax
seed. DON'T BUY flaxseed that has
already been ground! Flaxseed loses
much of its vitality if it sits
around for days or weeks after it
has been ground. My rule of thumb
is to grind it, and then eat it within 15 minutes.

I use a small, Proctor-Silex coffee-
grinder to grind my flaxseed. It costs around $12.00. and is VERY,
VERY easy to use. The whole operation takes around 20 seconds.
If you can't find one in local stores, and you don't have another
grinder which is suitable, let me
know by post. I found a reliable
source on the net that sells them
(and, no, it's not me, or anyone
I know).

Regularity aside, organic flaxseed
is full of nutrients that your body
needs and loves. You can buy a pound
of the seed for less than $3.00.
I urge all of your who are constipated to give it a try. I think you'll be glad you did -- and
so will your colon.

Blessings,
