Nowadays, there are a lot of people suffer from chronic constipation. Constipation is generally defined as having less than three bowel movements in seven days. Having at least one or two bowel movements in a day is the sign of a healthy body. People in perfect health have three bowel movements per day, so you can imagine how bad your intestinal health is if you are having only three bowels in a week. While an occasional case of constipation can be blamed on an abnormal intake of food or lifestyle during a certain period, chronic constipation is an ailment that needs to be treated properly.

The best method of getting rid of chronic constipation is to do a colon cleanse and to change to a diet high in fiber and water content. The most common cause of constipation is a lack of both fiber and water in the diet. When waste matter passes through the colon, the colon tries to extract water from it. It is because of this reason that stools become dry, hard and difficult to pass, resulting in constipation. However, fiber has the quality of retaining its moisture content, due to which a fiber healthy diet results in healthy bowel movements that are regular and easy to pass.

While constipation in itself is not a disease, it is definitely a symptom showing that your body's waste elimination system is not working properly. This can result in causing many other problems and therefore, a colon cleansing is advised for patients who suffer from constipation often. The building up of wastes and toxins causes the colon to start producing mucus in order to prevent the waste from depositing on its walls. However, a low fiber diet ensures that the waste stays inside the colon longer than necessary causing a buildup of toxins, bacteria, parasites and mucoidal plaque inside the colon. Constipation caused due to these reasons not only affects the gastro intestinal tract but also causes various other ailments like acne, dull and dead skin, headaches, fatigue and backaches. On top of this, constipation results in abdominal and stomach aches, gas and acidity buildup and flatulence apart from causing hemorrhoids and rectal tears at the time of excretion. While laxatives provide temporary relief from constipation, they should never be looked on as solution to constipation since these are habit forming for the body.

It is therefore, necessary to get rid of chronic constipation at the first instance. You can either start consuming psyllium husk and bentonite clay shakes at least three to five times a day for at least a week or start taking some already prepared herbal supplement that has been specially created as a colon cleanse. A lot of herbal colon cleansers are available in the market today and most of them are quite effective in getting your colon back to perfect working condition and getting rid of constipation for good. In order to keep you colon in optimum working order after the colon cleanse and to prevent constipation, make sure that you keep on eating a diet that is rich in fiber and consume at least two liters of water per day.

It was one late evening in mid-July 2005, that our friend, Chai and his wife came to our house. Chais 82-year-old mother-in-law (let us refer to her as SK), came down with colon cancer. She lost weight, was anaemic and could hardly walk. She was admitted into a hospital for investigation. The gastroenterologist performed a colonoscopy and found a large mass at the hepatic flexure. It obstructed the passage of the colonoscope. The biopsy report of 16 July 2005, indicated infiltrating, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. The doctor wanted to operate on her immediately but the family (Chai and his wife) hesitated. They came to seek our opinion.

To most people, common sense dictates that there is no other option except to go for surgery. But Chai and his wife were very hesitant to put their mother through surgery. They asked: What if she did not undergo surgery? My answer then was: Well, the stools will be blocked and accumulate within the colon. With time the intestine may just burst. They then asked: Can your herbs do something. My answer: I just dont know. I cannot see how the herbs can ever clear the blockage at all. After a lengthy discussion, we came to a compromise. I would prescribe SK Capsule A, GI 1 and GI 2 teas. SK would take them for at most a week or two. If there was NO improvement then a surgery had to be done without further delay. At the same time, SK must immediately switch to a proper, healthy diet.

Chai and his wife went home and followed my advice. They indeed took a calculated risk. Two weeks on the herbs, the health of SK was back to normal. She regained her strength and her bowel movement was good, with well formed stools. She could help with cooking and drying the familys clothes, etc. In short, she became well and was able to lead a normal life.

After two months, Chai brought his mother-in-law to meet us. She was a sweet 82-year-old grandmother and was so full of life. On 22 October 2005, SK came to our centre again for the second time. She told me: I am so full of strength now. I can jump and dance. The last time I saw you, my skin was flabby. Now you see, I have put on a bit of weight and my arm is rounder. In October 2006, we got to meet SK again. She was well and still remained a nice, jovial lady. This was a year and three months after her colon was found blocked by cancerous tumour. She took herbs instead of undergoing an emergency surgery.

Granted, the cancer may still be there, but at least as of now, SK is leading a happy, pain-free life. She is getting used to her diet and does not grumble even though she does not take meat, milk, egg, etc., anymore. In spite of the fruits and vegetables diet that she is on, she had put on weight and had regained her health to the fullest.

Indeed, this healing miracle has taught me a lesson. I cannot in my mind explain what had happened but I dont need an answer either. I do not want to try to explain Gods miracle in human terms. When I talked to SK, I just reminded her that it is all Gods mercy and grace. I have no other explanation than this. The impossible as seen by man and his science, is made possible by Gods grace.

One evening, I had a chat with Chai. I wondered why he and his wife were so against going for surgery. This is the reason. Not long ago, Chais mother had cancer of the larynx. Since there are so many siblings in the family, Chai could not make any decision by himself as regards to his own mothers treatment. His brothers decided that medical treatment was what she needed. She underwent an immediate surgery, followed by radiotherapy. She suffered severe pains after the operation. The radiation treatment made her throat dry and sore. She could hardly eat and was on meager soft diet most of the time. The many sessions of radiotherapy weakened her and she could hardly walk by herself. Chai had to carry her up and down the stairs. Chai told me: I could still remember the agony on my mothers face and the sufferings that she had to go through. It was a nightmarish experience for me. One and half years later, she died without any recovery. The family spent about RM 70,000 (about US$ 20,000) on all the medical bills.

To Chai and his wife, modern medicine is no more the answer to their 82-year old mothers cancer. They wanted to spare her from the agony that Chais mother had experienced.
