Handicap People have the worst Bowel Problems!

Most physically handicapped people have nerve damage to their colon muscles.

This prevents the subconscious mind from controlling their normal bowel movements. Since most people do not want to think about their bowel... much less someone else's bowel... I will try to be gentle with this post.

The typical Spinal Cord Injury individual is taught during rehabilitation to use a digital stimulation method of the rectal area to stimulate involuntary colon muscle movement to evacuate their stool from their body. Rarely, rarely does this method cause sufficient evacuation and the end result can be a belly that looks like the above picture.

The young man shown in the picture above was given only two days to live by the Surgeons of the University of Illinois Hospital because of this massive 42 pound blockage.

The fact that he was a drug addict and ate mostly Mexican starchy food was the cause of this massive blockage. He struggled to go to the emergency room to seek help. Fortunately there was a nurse in the Gastroenterology Department who was familiar with the PIE* Bowel Prosthetic Device and she begged the Surgeons to allow her to use this colon cleansing medical device on this patient. The Surgeons laughed at her not believing that anything beyond surgery could help this man.

One hour later this is a photograph of the same young man after the PIE* Therapy Procedure.

Instead of a $25,000 surgical expense he walked from the hospital with a bill under $400. Want to know more about the PIE* Bowel Prosthetic Device? Do a Google search.

Are Laxatives Safe?

Can you believe that thiss huge segment of colon was removed from a lady who used laxatives every day?

I obtained the permission to use this photograph from the famous Cleveland Clinic.

They wanted everyone to know the dangers of chemical laxatives.

Yes, this large segment of colon was surgically removed from someone who was dependent on daily laxatives (LAS). The chemicals in the laxatives literally destroyed part of her body that had to be removed because it was destined to be colon cancer.

If you are using laxatives please be warned.

All laxatives are designed to irritate the walls of your colon to tell your brain that there is a poison in your body. Your brain automatically begins the flushing process of extra fluids through your colon to "washout" this poison toxic material.

In the process it usually stimulates your colon muscles to involuntary contractions that can be very painful. Often to the point that you are forced to bend over and run for the nearest toilet.

Is this what you want to do to your body?

I recommend you to a Google search for more information on the bowel, i.e. bowel problems is a good search term.

Constipation Secrecy

Most people will not discuss their bowels with anyone... including their own doctor.

This is a subject that must come out of the closet. Did you know that Medicare states that 42% of all people living in nursing homes or with home health care have chronic daily bowel problems. Maintaining the cleanliness is one of the biggest expenses of maintaining a business that is servicing these individuals.

What is the principal cause of constipation?

This is trying to look into a crystal ball for an answer that is Universal... when there is no clear-cut answer. Sure, you can read articles by many experts that have different opinions; however, it is more like a combination of all of these opinions. I recommend that each individual experiment with their diet, amount of liquids consumed daily, exercise and plain old positive thinking.

Most of all, end your fears about discussing your problem with the people in your life... especially your own doctor.

Begins your research through the Internet for the many valuable websites that have both advice and a product that may help you. Personally I've found that www.mybowel.com makes more sense than any other means of ending chronic bowel problems.
