It is the uncommon condition in natives of Africa, for instance. Today, it is increasingly common and deadly in our civilization. Cancer of the colon is now taking over I,000,000 lives a year. We have an army of colon specialists, colonic irrigators and surgeons. Laxative sales are booming as thousands of tons of colon stimulators are being consumed to force under active bowels to function.
Constipation is so common that, for many people, it is a way of life.
At the source of all these troubles is a faulty and mismanaged dietary intake that is the direct consequence of the way we are now growing and marketing the food supply. Food quality has been sacrificed to quantity, ability to be harvested mechanically, long shelf life and, most of all, to selfish indulgence in profit taking following destructive and devitalizing chemical processing. The result is foodless food promoted and bought and sold at the expense of the health and vitality of the American public. When the body's sewer backs up, every cell feels the result in the form of an encumbering accumulation of toxic waste. The body begins to sink into a morass of failing health that is the immediate result of our greatest health enemy auto-intoxication.
