Though many people are embarrassed by this
subject, constipation is a very serious health
problem. It has many consequences, but the main
ones are malabsorption, toxicity, degeneration,
and premature aging. Many spasmodic conditions
are also related to constipation, everything from
minor muscle spasms to epileptic seizures.

Common Causes

• Too much Fat in diet
• Lack of Physical Exercise
• High Stress Levels and anxiety
• Medications such as iron pills, antacids,
  diuretics, pain killers and antidepressants
• Imbalance in Intestinal Flora
• Magnesium deficiency
• Food Sensitivities and intolerances

5
An unhealthy digestive system impacted with
mucus, toxins, and impacted waste can trigger a
host of health issues such asBody Odor Poor
Appetite Weight problems Foul Breath Backaches
Lack of energy Bloating Mood swings
Constipation Weak immune system
6
An average American gets only 10 15 grams of
fiber per day.  Move toward 35 40 grams of
fiber per day!!!
7
Take supplemental fiber separately from other
medications or supplements, as it can lessen
their strength and effectiveness.

DETOXIFICATION OF THE BODY

• The human body becomes toxic or polluted from
  both external and internal sources.
• External sources
• inhalation (smoking, air pollution, dental
  amalgam fillings, sick buildings)
• ingestion of chemical residues on food, chemicals
  in water, drugs
• injection (vaccinations, flu shots, tattoos)
• absorption (chemicals from synthetic fabrics,
  paints, plastics, pesticides and chemical
  fertilizers sprayed on lawns)
• irradiation (medical x-rays, nuclear power
  plants, bomb testing, uranium mine tailings, cell
  phones and towers, computer monitors and
  televisions, microwave ovens, and power grid and
  radio and satellite transmissions).

CAPE ALOE

• Cape Aloe is unique because it
• Has the properties of fiber, and stimulates
  cramping
• But soothes and cleans like aloe vera.
• Cape Aloe speeds transit time in the gut which
  makes it excellent for cleansing while on a fast
  or for liver detoxification.
• Helps support beneficial bowel bacteria by
  removing toxic poisons from the digestive tract.

10
PROBIOTICS

• Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that live in
  our digestive tract.
• Probiotics supplement our bodys natural
  ecosystem by helping maintain a balance between
  beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria.

11
PROBIOTICS

• According to the American Gastroenterological
  Association (AGA), the digestive system supports
  the body by performing two essential functions
• Absorption of nutrients
• Elimination of harmful bacteria. In order to keep
  these functions running smoothly your intestinal
  system should have a proper balance of good and
  bad bacteria.
• 70 OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS IN YOUR INTESTINAL
  TRACT

Buyer beware Not all Probiotics are the same

Essential Fatty Acids

• Essential to the body
• The body cannot manufacture these fats and must
  get them from food
• The body uses the fats for production of healthy
  cell membranes as well as certain hormones called
  prostaglandins
• Replace oil in the gut

14
Other Benefits of Essential Fatty Acids

• Decrease total cholesterol and (LDL) Bad
  Cholesterol
• Studies have shown significant clinical
  improvements in patients with arthritis,
  rheumatoid arthritis and lupus etc
• Can lower blood pressure
• Good for Hair, Skin, Nails
• Depression
• Heart Health

Nexium, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix, Aciphex

• Long Term Use
• Dry Up too much acid in stomach
• Malabsorption of Food and vitamins/minerals
• study of 135,000 people 50 or older, those taking
  high doses of PPIs for longer than one year have
  been found to be 2.6 times more likely to break a
  hip. Those taking smaller doses for 1 to 4 years
  were 1.2 to 1.6 times more likely to break a hip.
  The risk of a fracture increased with the length
  of time taking PPIs.8 Theories as to the cause
  of the increase are the possibility that the
  reduction of stomach acid reduces the amount of
  calcium dissolved in the stomach or that PPIs may
  interfere with the breakdown and rebuilding of
  bone by interfering with the acid production of
  osteoclasts.9
• Not safe after taking 6 weeks
• Grossly Overprescribed

16
PPI ADDICTION?

• Some people find it difficult to quit taking such
  medications once they start down the long
  winding road of acid suppression
• PPIs are so effective in shutting down acid
  production that the body seems to rebel.
• End up with Rebound Acid Hypersecretion can
  last for more than 2 months

How Can You Reduce Your Dependency?
18
You and Your Digestive System

• There is startling link between your body's
  intestinal flora and your ability to prevent
  serious illness, to add vital years to your life
• Plain and simple, good food digestion and
  absorption is at the heart of health - but most
  mainstream doctors are still in the dark about
  this

19
Good Bacteria vs Bad Bacteria

• This bacterial "balancing act" can be thrown off
• "By definition, a probiotic is any substance
  containing live organisms that, when ingested,
  have a beneficial effect on the host by altering
  the body's intestinal microflora
• All nutrients - vitamins, minerals, proteins and
  so forth - demand a properly functioning "gut"
  for absorption. You can take all the supplements
  you want but if you can't absorb the nutrients
  into your bloodstream you'd starve to death. A
  vitally important part of our digestion process
  is the activity of all the billions and trillions
  of microorganisms in our intestinal tract.

20
Digestive Enzymes

• Our digestive systems become less efficient as we
  age production of natural digestive enzymes
  lower and our ability to extract nutrients from
  food is reduced. 
• Anything that disrupts the small intestine may
  also disrupt the production and release of these
  enzymes. If you have a leaky gut, inflammation,
  yeast, or something else which hampers the small
  intestine, then you are likely to also have
  trouble digesting the foods these enzymes work
  on.
• Enzymes help heal the gut
