Everything you've always wanted to know about your COLON but were afraid to ask.

Everything you've always wanted to know about your COLON but were afraid to ask.

Dr. Schulze 's Clinic: The Early Years
I will never forget my first year in practice. I had already healed myself, and I had spent ten years traveling around the country following, studying and interning with the best natural healers and herbal doctors of the last century. I attended their schools, graduated most of them, received two doctorates, 17 different diplomas in all and went on to teach at most of these same schools. To earn money to eat and pay tuition I worked in most of their clinics and saw patients on the side in massage studios, book stores and the back rooms of health food stores. But now the year was 1975 and I thought I knew everything, I was definitely over-trained and under-experienced. Armed with my teacher's herbal formula, I unleashed myself on the world and set up my first real practice in Hollywood, California. But I am afraid nothing could have prepared me for my patients.
In the first few weeks of official practice God sent me a lovely, but very depressed, woman patient about 50 years old. She was partially depressed because of anxiety about the onset of menopause, but mostly because of her daughter. I had heard from another patient that her daughter had a chronic bowel problem so I asked her to tell me about it and she told me this story.
Her daughter always had trouble going to the bathroom since she was an infant, but when puberty arrived, her bowel just about stopped working altogether. For 2 years she hardly went to the bathroom at all. At 15, after suffering very long bouts of constipation and almost constant pain in her lower abdomen she finally developed diverticulitis (an infected, herniated, irritated, inflamed, painful bowel) with colon and rectal bleeding. Since medical doctors know nothing about herbs and their healing ability, not even Aloe vera, they resorted to going up inside this little girl's rear end a few times (an extremely uncomfortable and painful procedure) and cauterized (burned) the inside of her colon in a last ditch effort to try to stop the bleeding. Finally after six months of torture, they suggested the removal of her bowel, a colostomy, and said it would save her years of future suffering.
The doctors convinced the family that this was a fairly simple procedure and that many people live a normal comfortable life after having a colostomy. When the daughter woke up after the surgery in the hospital bed with no bowel, a big red sutured scar from one side of her belly to the other and a hole the size of a silver dollar in her gut with a plastic bag glued on it filled with poop, well, she was quite freaked out as you can imagine. The doctors said she would get used to it in no time, but she didn't. After months of Depression and not wanting to go to school her mom decided to throw her a sweet sixteen party to lift her spirits.
Mom invited all of her friends, including a new boyfriend she met at the mall. Mom even sprung for a new party dress. The night of the party came and everything was going great. Towards the end of the party her daughter was slow dancing with her new boyfriend, they kissed, it was perfect. Then all of a sudden he shrieked and pushed her away in terror. He was covered with hot, wet stinking fecal sludge and so was she. Her bag had become unglued and fell off spurting its contents everywhere, covering her, her new party dress, and her new boyfriend.
Needless to say, the party was over and the daughter ran to her room in a hysterical sobbing crying fit. Mom cleaned her up and tried to console her, but finally decided to let her sleep it off, thinking that tomorrow would be a new day. When mom went up to her daughter's room in the morning her daughter had hung herself in her closet, she was dead. So much for what the doctors call a simple surgery. What they meant was simple to perform, but not simple for the patient to live with.

"Some people think that I am acting too much like a hard ass when I call the A.M.A. the American Murderer's Association. Well if they would have spent a few weeks in my clinic, seeing all the little children tortured and killed, they'd call them a lot worse."

As God works, the very next day I got a call from another frantic mom, except this time it wasn't too late. It was Tuesday and the mom told me that her little 11-year-old boy was scheduled for a colostomy surgery (colon removal) on Friday. He had been constipated for years and had not gone in months. She begged me to help, but I only had 2 days in which to work a miracle. I put together a very strong experimental herbal bowel cleanser, because none of the ones my teachers taught me had ever worked for any of my seriously constipated patients. So I got out my old veterinary herbals from the 1800's and looked up what they would use for large animals like horses, picked out a few herbs, mixed them up, and I gave it to this boy and the very next day he had a bowel movement. Mom called me and told me it was over 2 feet long and up to 2 to 3 inches wide. It was so hard that after numerous failed attempts at flushing it down the toilet, her husband had to go out to the garage and get a shovel and had to chop it up to get it to flush. This kid is now a grown man, married and with two kids of his own.
How much do you think his life would have been changed, if not ruined, had he undergone that horrifying, disfiguring surgery?

"From this day on I vowed to never let another child, or ANYONE suffer from constipation or have a mutilating colon surgery. But all I had to work with were outdated and antique herbal formulae."

What I used on this little boy was the first crude version of my Intestinal Formula #1. Until I refined it some patients referred to it as TNT Herbal Explosive and Depth Charges. I am strongly against animal torture and experimentation, but I needed to refine my formula. This is when I discovered that relatives are often a great inexpensive replacement for laboratory rats. I gave one of the earliest versions of this formula to my brother, who had a long history of constipation . . . well not anymore. I made a mistake with my calculations and gave him a serious overdose. He not only experienced the laws of jet propulsion, but claims that he has never been constipated again and has had perfect bowel movements for the last 25 years. I eventually got the formula smoothed out.
See up until this point most herbal-bowel formula available were actually antique herbal medicine. One popular formula used in the 1970's and still sold today in health food stores is Arnold Ehret's Innerclean. This man was born during the civil war and cleansed the bowels of who knows, Buffalo Bill, Wyatt Earp? This formula was designed over 100 years ago when people were riding horses and all food was whole food. One of the other most popular formulas of the 1970's was one of my great teachers, Dr. John R. Christopher's Naturalax #2 or sometimes referred to as Fennel-B. This is a great MILD herbal formula, but he designed this formula during his years of clinical practice, and he died in 1983. So this mild laxative formula is what, 30?, 40?, 50? years old? My patients in the 1990's were not getting results from this formula either.
Back in the 1960's there weren't fiberless fast food restaurants on every street corner and life and work wasn't so sedate. Back then a hard drive was a bumpy ride in a car and not something most of us are typing data into as we sit on our ass all day long. My patients in the 1990's had reached a level of constipation that far exceeded anything Dr. Christopher ever saw in his clinic and way beyond Arnold Ehret's wildest imagination.

How much fecal matter can one person actually hold?
The average American stores from six to ten pounds of fecal waste in their colon; which is not healthy. As far as the record breaking accumulation of fecal matter, I had one man in Hawaii who got his dosage up to 46 capsules of my Intestinal Formula #1, that is a record in itself, before his bowels moved. Then that night, sitting on the toilet, HE EVACUATED 56 pounds OF FECAL MATTER. I met his wife and she said to me that she always knew her husband was full of shit, her words not mine, but was she right. I had one lady that after a year of my herbal bowel cleansing program lost over 200 pounds. She went from 410 pounds down to 180.

"When you die, the worms actually crawl out, not in."
Looking under a microscope anyone can see parasites in animal food. One cubic inch of Grade A beef often has over 1,000 parasite larva in it. Fish is the worst, some of their parasites are as big as earth worms. There are even many parasites that live on fruits and vegetables, but if a person has 2 or 3 bowel movements a day, these parasite larva don't hatch, and your fine. And if your like me and eat lots of garlic, well no self-respecting parasite is going to take up house in your colon anyway.
But if you don't have regular bowel movements and only go a few times a week, well these parasite larvae hatch, hook onto your colon and start feeding on your backed up waste and even feed on your tissue. In my clinic I had every patient do my bowel detoxification program which is a real parasite flush. After doing it they would bring in bottles, jugs and pails full of worms, some of them quarts of little worms, many the size of snakes. One of my patients actually went to the hospital after doing my bowel detoxification program because of colon pain. Later the hospital called me to report that she had evacuated a 35 foot tape worm, WOW!
I could tell a thousand clinical colon parasite war stories from spaghetti and fettuccini looking heaps, to the cobras and rattlesnakes, to the things that looked like scorpions and crabs. Maybe I'll just do a parasite issue one day, but for now let's move on.

"How bad can it Get? My Constipation Record Breakers."
Thirty years ago when I first heard the great Dr. Christopher speak about extreme constipation, I thought he was lying. I wanted to believe him, but when he told me that he had patients that hadn't had a bowel movement in a month, well now I thought that he was telling me a natural healing fish story.
But, in the first year of running my Hollywood clinic, I had a fashion model come to see me, a very beautiful girl, slim, 5'8" and 115 pounds, and she only had 1 BOWEL MOVEMENT A MONTH for the last year and a half. I was shocked! Where did it go? I was ready to call David Copperfield or Sigfried and Roy. This was real magic.
That year I had many patients that only had 1 bowel movement a month and for a few years in the clinic that was the record until a woman came to see me, a 38 year old attorney that only went every other month. She had ONLY 6 BOWEL MOVEMENTS IN A YEAR! She held the record for a while, but then there was a young women from Santa Rosa, California. She only had 3 bowel movements during her last pregnancy. That's one bowel movement per trimester and only two others that year. Now the record holder was ONLY 5 BOWEL MOVEMENTS IN A YEAR. That held the record for some time, but three years ago I got a letter from a lady in Southern California thanking me for my Intestinal Formula #1. In the letter, she stated that before using my herbal formula she was only having one bowel movement every 6 months. THAT IS ONLY 2 BOWEL MOVEMENTS A YEAR, THE CURRENT RECORD HOLDER!!!!!
Sure, the above were extreme cases, but most of my patients suffered from some sort of constipation. I had well over a thousand patients that were lucky if they went once a week. People who are constipated live in discomfort, fear and shame. They usually don't go around talking about it and don't know where to turn. Everyone has failed them, the empty promises of their medical doctors, their toxic mineral oil, the wimpy herbal laxatives that couldn't even make you fart, and the natural healers with their bran. Give me a break! They pay the money, and could fill a bus with the bottles of drugs and herbs that they took, BUT THEY STILL COULDN'T POOP UNTIL THEY MET ME.

"My patients taught me the power of Colon Cleansing, in spite of myself."
Like any great egomaniac student in herbal college, I wanted to develop very intricate and detailed herbal formulae. These formulae would be very difficult to make and could only be made from very exotic and rare herbs found only in the rainforest or in the Himalayas. And of course these formulae would be extremely effective for treating very specific diseases. I was going to find the herbal cure for Cancer...
Thank God my great teachers deeply ingrained in me that before I could embark on any of my disease specific smart bomb herbal fantasies, I must get my patients on a good health program, first thing's first. First I needed to get them following the basics for a month or two, what I now refer to as my Foundational Programs, the foundations of health. A good clean, and wholesome food program, thorough bowel cleansing and detoxification, immune boosting, exercise and positive emotional work, I knew that there was no replacement for these basics.
By doing so I unknowingly destroyed my fancy, disease specific, herbal formulae dream because approximately 80% of my patients, regardless of what was wrong with them, regardless of how long they had been sick. They got more than relief, THEY GOT WELL from just bowel cleansing! When I added the other foundational programs, over 90% got well with no specific treatment at all. So much for my trips to Tibet.
You heard right, the vast majority of my patients got well and recovered from their disease without ANY specific treatment. All they did was make some common sense lifestyle changes, including cleansing the bowel, and they were healed. My patients, having the nerve to get well before I was ready, ended all my dreams of discovering herbal cures for the afflictions of mankind and turned me into the common sense herbal country doctor that I am today.

Bowel Cleansing can be the cure for ANY Digestive Disease.
Bowel cleansing can be very effective for any disease, but especially diseases of the digestive tract. I had many patients heal their upper gastro-intestinal problems like ulcers, hyperacidity, gastric reflux, hiatal hernia and indigestion, to colon problems such as chronic constipation to spastic colons, colitis and Crohn's disease and yes, even hemorrhoids. Even liver and gall bladder problems are often relieved because the same herbs that cleanse and detoxify the bowel also stimulate, cleanse and detoxify the liver and gall bladder.
Many people write me and ask about polyps and bowel cancer which often go hand in hand. Although I am banned from telling you about my many specific patients healing their serious bowel diseases, like cancers, here is a story I got from an American Botanical Pharmacy customer in San Diego, California a few years ago. He was in his 60's and because of a family history of degenerative bowel disease and colon cancer his son asked him to go to the doctor and get a sigmoidoscope check, a look into the bowel. This is getting to be a routine check now for older folks, to look for bowel cancer or other bowel disease.
Well sure enough they saw it, a big cancer they said looked like a big mushroom, growing in his sigmoid colon, and it had metastasized and invaded into the muscle, maybe even farther. He also had around 35 polyps. The doctors wanted to admit him to the hospital immediately for a colon resection. They wanted to gut him and carve out at least 12 inches of his colon, probably more. He was very scared.
His son suggested that his dad do my bowel cleansing program. The dad asked the doctor if he could delay the colon surgery for a few months while he did an herbal bowel cleanse. The doctor said he was nuts, the herbs could be dangerous and even if they weren't they were useless and that a delay of a few days, let alone months could be suicidal. The cancer would just grow worse, spread, metastasize and kill him.
The dad told me that he was more afraid of the doctors and their surgery. So he decided to go on my Bowel Detoxification Program. After 8 weeks of bowel cleansing using 8 entire jars of Intestinal Formula #2, 3 bottles of Intestinal Formula #1, double daily doses of SuperFood, and lots of Echinacea Plus, he went back for another look by the doctor. The doctor was furious, and said that surgery may not even save him now because he delayed getting proper professional treatment by playing around with some hocus-pocus herbs. But when the doctor looked in the colonoscope he literally shrieked, "Oh my God, I don't believe it!"
Not only were all 35 polyps gone, disappeared, not a trace of even one, but the cancer looked like a dried up skeleton of a cancer. (This is exactly what cancer looks like after your body and especially your white blood cells eat up a tumor.) He said the doctor then touched the cancer skeleton with a tool through the scope and that it just fell off the bowel, THE CANCER JUST FELL OFF!
I had hundreds of patients with bowel polyps that got rid of them. I had many other patients with bowel cancers that disappeared. I had other patients with supposedly unrelated problems like clinical depression, dementia, arthritis, neurological diseases, the list is endless, that all got relief from doing a thorough bowel cleanse.

"To actually GET WELL, you have to correct the cause of the disease, and more often than not, it's your bowel!"
I had a patient come to me with severe migraines. They were so bad that she would even go blind during some of the attacks. Her daughter told me that sometimes she would fall to her knees in public, scream she couldn't take it anymore or even blackout and faint. She went to her medical doctor who gave her some painkillers and the migraines went away, but eventually they came back. She asked the doctor for something stronger, he eventually prescribed narcotics. The pain went totally away, but eventually it came back.
She then went to see an Oriental Medical Doctor who did acupuncture on her, stuck hundreds of needles in her, she said she felt like a human pin cushion. The pain disappeared, but returned.
Out of frustration she went to a friend's Chiropractic Doctor who noticed that her cervical vertebrae were subluxated. After a series of adjustments her pain went away, but eventually it came back. Out of desperation she went to a Rolfer, a great system of deep tissue body work, and he did some real restructuring of her neck muscles and tissue, in fact her whole body, and the pain was totally gone, but eventually it came back.
Finally, she ended up at an herbalist. He prescribed her a classic old herbal formula for pain, actually a great effective formula and one that I used often in my clinic also. It was a miracle, her pain completely disappeared, GONE ! . . .but eventually it came back.
After 3 years of blinding pain, and seeing 16 different doctors and spending thousands of dollars on everything from electrode stimulators and biofeedback devices to drugs, herbs, vitamins, enzymes, Colloidal Silver and noni fruit drink, she finally crawled up to the doorstep of my clinic and told me her story.
Within the first 2 minutes of her very first visit I asked her one of my favorite questions, how often do you have a bowel movement? It turned out she only went once or twice a week. I suggested that before we do anything we do a thorough bowel cleansing routine for a couple of weeks. She was furious, she screamed at me and demanded I give her my migraine formula. She was literally sobbing, in tears, begging, pleading for relief. I gave her my Bowel Detoxification Program and sent her home.
After a few days she called me and told me that her migraines were gone right after an amazing pooping experience on the toilet, but was afraid they would return like they had done with ALL the other doctors and practitioners. Over the next few months I put her through all of my programs and cleaned her colon out a few more times and the migraines have never returned. That was thirteen years ago. The problem with all of the doctors that she saw before me was that they were all focused on the pain in her head, about 3 feet above the real problem.
I had another lady come to see me; she had been out of work, literally flat on her back in pain for 2 1/2 years. She had pain, in the lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and sciatic nerve, EVERY DAY, ALL DAY. No work, not even housework, not even going shopping for a few groceries, she was 100% crippled, a total wreck. The medical doctors wanted to fuse her spine, maybe even cut the sciatic nerves to relieve the pain. This is a total dead end. She had many visits to her Chiropractor along with Hatha Yoga, which are two of the best therapies for any spinal problem, and especially lower back problems, but she got little results. The Osteopaths or Orthopedic treatments didn't help either and she was at her wit's end. She even told me she was contemplating killing herself.
Guess what, she was constipated! I put her on the bowel-cleansing program and in less than a week all of her pain was gone, and never returned. She was shocked, in disbelief, and she was really, really mad at all the doctors for overlooking something so simple; constipation. Her blocked, engorged, swollen colon was pressing on all the nerves in her lower back.
So even if a person thinks that their particular problem is unrelated to the colon, they might be wrong. A swollen, constipated, irritated bowel puts pressure on and infects everything around it. The nerves from the spine, run right next to the bowel before they go down the legs. I have had hundreds of patients with chronic back pain, sciatica, leg pain, and it all disappeared after a good bowel cleansing program.
No matter how far removed the problem seems from the colon, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to do a bowel cleansing program instead of brain surgery, cleanse the bowel first and see what happens.

How could so many seemingly unrelated health problems be caused by constipation?
To answer this question let's take a quick peek at the inside of your body.
I remember when my older brother got his first car, it was a 1950 Ford station wagon. Of course it didn't run, what kid's first car did. So it sat in our driveway and we would sit in it dreaming of the day when we would be burning rubber down the highway. Being more mechanically inclined, I did most of the work on it to get it running. I used to be able to open up the hood, sit on a front fender with my feet and legs actually dangling inside the engine compartment and work on the engine, change spark plugs, whatever. Get the picture, big car, big hood, little engine, lots of room. Nowadays, I open up the hood of my 2001 Ford Expedition and I just shut it right back up. Every square inch under the hood is jammed, packed with engine parts, power pumps, wires, hoses, pipes, filters, it is too complex, and even if I understood it, there is NO ROOM to work on it. NO SPACE!
What's my point? I used to think our anatomy was like my brother's 1950 Ford, you know a lung up here, a kidney way down there, a bowel in the middle, with lots of room. Then one day in school I examined my first cadaver and WOW, what an enlightening experience. The human anatomy is not like my brother's 1950 Ford at all, it is like my 2001 Ford, every square inch is packed with something and everything is touching something else. This body of ours must have had some incredible engineer. Everything has its place and THERE IS NO EXTRA ROOM! If one organ swells or gets bigger, then another organ, usually the one next to the swelling one gets squeezed, compressed or crushed. Organs don't work so well when they are crushed and the blood, lymphatic, nerve and general circulation gets interrupted. Every organ needs good circulation to get nutrition in and get waste out in order to be healthy. Squeezed and compressed organs get sick.
Now the entire colon is so big, that it is connected to, touches, sits next to or is in the vicinity of every major organ in the human body except the brain. It also touches most of your major blood vessels and nerves. Constipation causes the colon to literally swell, expand and even herniate. Remember that the leading medical books told us that all of us store too much fecal matter and have this happening inside of us. So when an area of the colon gets constipated, and swells, it compresses and crushes the organ next to it. This could be the lungs, the heart, the liver and gall bladder, the pancreas, the kidneys and adrenals, the uterus, the prostate, again, almost every major organ in the body. This is simply why a constipated swollen colon can cause an almost endless amount of seemingly unrelated diseases and problems, and I haven't even discussed toxic build up in the colon that literally infects and poisons nearby organs.
The majority of my patients in my clinic were female. Many women could never understand the relationship between their painful periods, P.M.S., menstrual irregularity, vaginal infections, infertility, menopausal problems, problems during pregnancy, whatever, and their constipation until I explained that their sigmoid colon wraps around the uterus and that their ovaries are literally attached to the colon. The cure for almost every female problem in my clinic besides my Female Formulae was a good bowel cleansing.
Men, don't try to wriggle out of this one, it's the same for you and your prostate which is attached to your intestines also, and the part of your colon that swells and gets constipated most often, crushing and infecting the prostate.
The point is there is NO EXTRA SPACE in your body. If your bowel swells due to constipation and bowel pockets, another organ gets pinched, if not crushed.
What's the bottom line? A sluggish, constipated, swollen bowel, retaining pounds of old fecal matter can either compress a nearby area causing disease or emit infection and toxins which can affect and infect any area of the body.
This explains why many of my patients healed their heart problems, blood pressure problems, breathing problems, blood Sugar problems, hormone imbalance problems, fertility problems, liver problems, cholesterol problems, immune problems, urinary problems, adrenal and lack of energy problems, prostate problems, digestive problems, lower back problems, leg circulation and nerve problems by cleaning out their colons before I ever did any specialized treatment for their problem. This explains why so many of my patients healed their almost infinite list of various diseases by doing my Bowel Detoxification Program.


"My patients healed their brain diseases with colon cleansing proving that you can't have sweet thoughts on a sour stomach."
I had many patients with Alzheimer's Disease and many different types of dementia that turned around and healed themselves after a complete bowel cleanse. And I don't mean people who were just a little foggy and forgetful, I had patients who howled like wolves on the full moon, they were totally gone. I had a patient come to me with clinical depression, one of the worse cases I ever saw. He used to be a brilliant man and now he couldn't even speak or get himself dressed.
His family brought him into my clinic where he sat on the couch in the waiting room with his head sunken and glued into his hands. This poor man was frozen stiff and a tow truck couldn't get him into my examination room, so I just sent him home. But I asked the family to start him on the basics, but all they did was my Bowel Detoxification Program.
Over the next few months this man evacuated some ungodly stuff. The family said it stunk up the entire house, even the next door neighbors complained. But to everyone's surprise this man started coming back to life and within a few months was back to normal and a month or so later back to work. JUST BY CLEANING OUT HIS COLON!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF COLON CLEANSING.

"Everyone wants a quick cleanse or a 24 hour detox. Sure, party for a decade and then try to clean up the whole mess in a few minutes, it's not going to happen. Any Cleansing or Detoxification Program is a TOTAL JOKE unless you do a thorough bowel cleansing for a few weeks FIRST!"

When any patient came to see me, my eventual goal was to get them to do some sort of detoxification routine; a cleanse. The purpose of a cleanse is to remove toxins from the fat, muscle, blood and internal organs that have accumulated there over a period of years. This is how you prevent disease, by cleaning out these poisons before they make you sick. When you do a cleanse you use herbs to loosen and break up all of this accumulated waste and poison and it now has to flow out of the elimination channels, especially the colon and kidneys. If these elimination organs are not clean and operating properly you can't get the poison out of your body.
First, you obviously will not get the benefit out of your cleanse, but secondly you will feel awful and might even get very ill. See, all of your cleansing and detoxification removed all the poison from your tissues, and now it is sitting in your colon, but can't get out. Chances are you will reabsorb these poisons and feel worse than you did before you started your cleanse. I had so many patients who, before they came to my clinic, had already tried to do their own self designed cleanse or detox. They would party on the weekend and then start the carrot juice fast on Monday morning. By noon they would have a blinding headache and by dinner they would breakdown and eat pizza. Anyone who has started any type of detox and felt bad within hours needed to first do a colon cleanse. This way all the poisons that you are cleaning out of your body, CAN GET OUT OF YOUR BODY. So the first step, before you start a whole body detox, should be the cleaning out and strengthening of the elimination organs, and my Intestinal Detoxification Program is the first place to begin.

"What the heck is a normal poop anyway?"
Normal Frequency
I have literally traveled around the world in search of what a normal bowel movement and bowel habit should be like. Now, how many people can say that? I have traveled from the remote jungles of Central America to India, China, almost everywhere to discover what is normal because I knew I wasn't going to find normal in New York, California and not even in Iowa. I wanted to see primitive people living in rural non-industrialized areas, living simple natural rural lives under very little stress, getting moderate amounts of exercise and eating simple natural diets of locally foraged food. These relaxed primitive people all seemed to have one bowel movement within 20 to 30 minutes after each major meal that they ate. They just squat, it rapidly comes out within a minute, and they are done. No library of magazines, no squeezing, straining, grunting, meditation or prayer, it just came out effortlessly. They seem to average between 2 and 4 bowel movements a day or 14 to 28 bowel movements a week compared to the average Americans bowel habit of 1 bowel movement every 3 to 5 days or 2 to 3 bowel movements a week. I figured this puts the Average American about 70,000 bowel movements short in their lifetime!

Normal Consistency
The consistency of your bowel movements should be soft and unformed like peanut butter or soft serve frozen ice cream. Occasionally they can be a bit chunky depending on what you ate and how well you chewed it, but in any case they should NOT be formed and they should be light in color. I remember as a kid my dad only went once a week on Sundays. He would take the entire Sunday paper in the bathroom and be in there for hours. When he came out the room smelled like someone died. I would then take my place at the throne after him and squeeze hard for my once a week bowel movement. Eventually I would blast out some small black balls as hard as granite. My dad would come into the bathroom to wipe me, but my fecal matter was so dry and hard there was nothing on the toilet paper. I remember my dad remarking, "Now that's a good poop, no wiping, like it's wrapped in cellophane" and I would leave for a week thinking I did a good job.

Signs of Constipation
If you need a library in your bathroom, you know, like a stack of magazines on the hamper, then you are constipated. If you drink coffee, well if you stop, you will also probably stop having bowel movements too.

Dr. Schulze 's Intestinal Detoxification Program

Over 100,000 people worldwide have used this program to end their constipation, cleanse their colon, detoxify their body and heal and prevent colon disease. It's easy and only takes a few minutes a day.
This Program is VERY EASY
If you have never cleaned out your bowel and done an Intestinal Detoxification Program, CONGRATULATIONS! This is a great start to a new healthier life. As I said at the top, this program is Very Easy!

An Important Tip About Intestinal Formula #1
If you are like the majority of people and your bowel has not worked well most of your life, remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Even if you have been extremely constipated all of your life, DO NOT try to fix yourself overnight. If you overdose and start off taking a dozen capsules of Intestinal Formula #1 you may learn the laws of jet propulsion, have a bad experience, or a messy one, and then stop doing the program. DON'T TORTURE YOURSELF! Be patient and start with only one capsule and increase by only one capsule daily as needed until your bowel is working.

Another Important Tip About Intestinal Formula #1
If you have been constipated, especially if you have been for years, your bowel may not work perfectly at first. Just imagine if you had an old car in your garage that you hadn't started in years. The first time you go to start the engine it will shake, rattle and roll and smoke, backfire, make exploding noises, maybe even shoot flames out the carburetor. Then after about 15 minutes it will start running smoother once it is warmed up. Your bowel is the same. If it hasn't worked properly in years, you may notice a little gas, or slight cramping, or even an occasional backfire, do not be alarmed. This is usually caused by old fecal matter that is being flushed out and will subside usually within a few days. There are many herbs in the formula to reduce the chances of this happening, but if it does, KEEP GOING and keep using the formula.

Two Week Intestinal Detoxification Program
DAY #1: Start with one capsule of Intestinal Formula #1 during or just after dinner. This works best when mixed with food.

DAY #2: This morning you could notice an increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency could also be softer. If you do NOT notice any difference in your bowel behavior today, or the difference wasn't dramatic, then tonight increase your dosage by 1 capsule. Then you can continue to increase your dosage every evening by one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel works. Your goal is to increase your dosage until you are having 2-3 bowel movements a day. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel so let's be patient for a few days and increase by ONLY ONE capsule each day.

Days 3-7: Again, your goal is to be having at least two bowel movements each day, if not three. Read "What the heck is a normal poop anyway". The average healthy person should achieve 2-3 bowel movements a day using this formula within this first week. If you don't, continue to take your Intestinal Formula #1 until you do. There is no race here to get to Intestinal Formula #2. Take your time and make sure your colon is working well, even if it takes a few weeks or a month.

WEEK #2: At the beginning of week two, or whenever your colon is working as described above, you may start using the Intestinal Formula #2. You will take this formula 5 times each day beginning in the morning. Start 1/2 hour after your morning nutritional drink, mix 1 heaping teaspoon of Intestinal Formula #2 powder with 8 ounces of diluted juice. It mixes best if you put a little liquid in the bottom of a small jar, then add your heaping teaspoon of Intestinal Formula #2. Then add the rest of the liquid and shake it vigorously. I drink it right out of my mixing jar, down the hatch, it takes only a minute, DONE. Do the same 1/2 hour before lunch, between lunch and dinner, 1/2 hour before dinner and 1 hour before bed, so that you are consuming a total of 5 heaping teaspoons each day.

Intestinal Formula #2 is also VERY EASY
Occasionally a patient would say to me, "I can't drink this black drink" or "Isn't this program a bit radical?" GIVE ME A BREAK, WHAT TOTAL WIMPS! This drink might be black in color but it doesn't taste black, in fact what little taste it does have is pleasant, especially if you are using diluted juice. And as far as radical, at what point did we start believing the lying medical doctors and start thinking that taking God's and Nature's healing gifts are radical? I'll tell you radical, radical is when you develop colon disease and the doctors shove a colonscope THREE FEET up your ass and then start burning and cutting off tumors on the inside of your bowel . . . . ., then you'll wish you took this formula so don't you dare give me any damn radical crap and drink your drink, AND SMILE!

HELPFUL HINTS:
During or after dinner take your Intestinal Formula #1 as usual but increase the dosage you discovered the first week by 1 additional pill. If you feel a bit bound by the Intestinal Formula #2 you can increase your dosage of the Intestinal Formula #1 even more. It is helpful to drink more liquid after each dose of Intestinal Formula #2, at least 8 more ounces.

Dr. Schulze describes Intestinal Formula #1 and Intestinal Formula #2

Intestinal Formula #1 (Cathartic Formula)
Contains: Curacao and Cape Aloe leaf, Senna leaves and pods, Cascara Sagrada aged bark, Barberry rootbark, Ginger rhizome, Garlic bulb and African Bird Pepper.

Therapeutic Action: This stimulating tonic is cleansing, healing and strengthening to the entire gastro-intestinal system. It stimulates your peristaltic action (the muscular movement of the colon) and over time strengthens the muscles of the large intestine. It halts putrefaction and disinfects, soothes and heals the mucous membrane lining of your entire digestive tract. This herbal tonic improves digestion, relieves gas and cramps, increases the flow of bile which in turn cleans the gall bladder, bile ducts and liver, destroys Candida albicans overgrowth and promotes a healthy intestinal flora. It also destroys and expels intestinal parasites, increases gastro-intestinal circulation and is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Continue to use this formula until you are having at least 1 bowel movement each day for every meal you eat. Between 2 and 4 bowel movements a day is normal. Considering all the disease and death we have because of retained fecal matter, I wouldn't worry about taking too much of this formula.

Patient Type A: The sluggish bowel type. This formula is for 97% of my patients, the ones who need help getting their bowel working more frequently. You must use this herbal formula every day to keep your bowels very active.

Dosage: Start with only 1 capsule of this formula during or just after dinner. This formula works best when taken with food or juice. The next morning you should notice an increase in your bowel action and in the amount of fecal matter that you eliminate. The consistency should also be softer. If you do not notice any difference in your bowel behavior by the next day, or if the difference was not dramatic, then that evening increase your dosage to 2 capsules. You can continue to increase your dosage every evening by one capsule until you notice a dramatic difference in the way your bowel works. There is no limit. Some people have even needed over 30 capsules to get their bowel working. It has taken most of us years to create a sluggish bowel, so let's be patient for a few days and increase by only 1 capsule each day.

Patient Type B: The irritated bowel type. This only applied to a small percentage of my patients. These are the exceptions to the rule, those with bowels that move too often, (more than 3 times a day.) This includes those with Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's Disease, etc... If your bowels are irritated, hot or working too frequently, skip this formula and go to Intestinal Formula #2.


Intestinal Formula #2 (Drawing and Detoxifying Formula)
Contains: Flax seed, Apple Fruit Pectin, Pharmaceutical Grade Bentonite Clay, Psyllium seed and husk, Slippery Elm inner bark, Marshmallow root, Fennel seed and Activated Willow charcoal.

Therapeutic Action: This cleansing and soothing formula is to be used in conjunction with Intestinal Formula #1. This formula is a strong purifier and intestinal vacuum. This formula draws old fecal matter off the walls of your colon and out of any bowel pockets. It will remove poisons, toxins, parasites, heavy metals such as mercury and lead and even remove radioactive material such as Strontium 90. This formula will also remove over 3,000 known drug residues and toxic chemicals. Its mucilaginous properties will soften old hardened fecal matter for easy removal and make it an excellent remedy for inflammation in the intestines such as diverticulitis or irritable bowel. Many patients discovered that this formula also removed their colon polyps. This formula is an antidote for food poisoning and other types of poisoning. Therefore, I always have it with me when I travel.
Before beginning Intestinal Formula #2, your bowels should be moving at least 2 to 3 times a day or at least once for each meal you eat. Continue using Intestinal Formula #1 until this is achieved.

Dosage:
o Take Intestinal Formula #2 five times a day.
o Mix one heaping teaspoon of Intestinal Formula #2 powder with 8 ounces of juice or distilled water in a jar with a lid. Shake vigorously and drink immediately. Take anytime during the day, just be sure to allow about 30 minutes before or after meals, juices.
o Helpful hint: Put a small amount of water in your jar first. Then add the powder and shake. Then add more water. This keeps the powder from sticking to the jar making it easier to clean.
o This formulae contains Bentonite clay and may be binding. Type A's may need to increase dosage by one of the Intestinal Formula #1.
Type B's may need to take one Intestinal Formula #1 in the evening if you find you are a little constipated.

HELPFUL HINT: Drink plenty of pure water, herb teas and diluted fruit juices during this two week colon cleanse. A good amount is a minimum of 64 ounces to 128 ounces of liquid each day. This makes the program more effective.
