Re: Losing Weight Rapidly

It's really important to deal with the parasite issue, because this could be the cause of your weight loss. And please don't allow yourself to become constipated. The combination of parasites and constipation is a prescriiption for misery.

I gave a colonic earlier today to a woman who will be 40 shortly and she was depressed about that and complained that she had been constipated since she had been in college. She said the only time her bowels move is when she has an enema, typically once or twice a week.

Her colon was filled with hardened stool, I asked why she let herself go for 3 or 4 days or even a week without an enema if that's what it takes to move her bowels. She replied that she didn't want to become dependent on enemas.

I told her about a lesson I always remember from when I was doing my colon hydrotherapy training where a famous gastroenterologist of his time, Dr.Walter Alvarez, related the story of a patient who had come to him with similar problems. When he asked her why she wasn't taking enemas more often she explained she didn't want to become a slave to the enema habit.

His reply, which I have never forgotten was "Far better the enema habit than the constipation habit".

I've probably posted that quote at least a half dozen times here on CZ over the years. I hope you find it helpful. I know I have. Constipation has been a reality on my mother's side of the family for generations, and I'm no exception.

Best wishes, Valerie
