Over the years, the idea has taken hold that we need not pay any attention to the bowel. Leave it alone and it will I take care of itself. It is dirty and not nice to talk about. Nothing could be further from the truth. This attitude has promoted a misconception about bowel function and hygiene that is now having serious consequences across our land.
Many people are in bowel trouble.
I don't know anyone who doesn't have bowel disturbances and could not benefit from having better bowel function. Degenerative conditions of the colon are rapidly gaining in frequency, intensity and severity. At the turn of the century, diverticulitis was unknown. It is the uncommon condition in natives of Africa, for instance. Today, it is increasingly common and deadly in our civilization.
