The ONE thing that will stop this Candida Cleanse in its Tracks? CONSTIPATION!!
There is one thing that will stop this process in its tracks
and that relates to eliminating the dead candida and toxins from your
system. If you become constipated and can’t eliminate these
toxins from your system in an efficient manner, you are probably not going to feel all that well. If you see your bowels becoming sluggish, you can take some measures before it gets to
be a problem. If you are currently prone to constipation, the best product that we have been able to find (and which comes highly recommended by people with constipation that have taken ThreeLac) is Oxy-Powder. Oxy-Powder is a safe, really easy way to make sure that your bowels are moving well! in particular and it really helps people who have been chronically constipated (1 or
fewer bowel movements in a day).

Controlling constipation is very important! In some ways moving your bowels is even more important than not
eating sugar. If you do not think you are making the progress you should on
ThreeLac/FiveLac and OE+, you need to look at getting your bowels moving
more. Tom got stalled in the middle of the process because he was constipated, even though he was going once per day. Once he concentrated on his bowels and started moving better (2-3 times per day) he started making progress again.
ThreeLac and Oxygen Elements are killing Candida off in your
system. But, how do the dead candida and
the toxins associated with the process get out of your body? Well, there are only a few ways you can get
these organisms out. One way is through
your skin, another is in the breath, but the most efficient way to eliminate is through your bowel. Part of the healing process with this
methodology is the elimination of the dead candida. If this material can’t get
out of your system it is possible that the healing process will stop dead in
its tracks.
What is constipation? The medical community’s definition of constipation is as follows: “Constipation
is the passage of small amounts of hard, dry bowel movements, usually fewer than
three times a week. People who are constipated may find it difficult and
painful to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms of constipation include
feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and sluggish.” However, in a healing process,
it is very important to have at least 1 soft bowel movement per day and more if
possible (2-3 are ideal).
What causes constipation? To understand
constipation, it helps to know how the colon (large intestine) works. As food
moves through the colon, it absorbs water while forming waste products, or
stool. Muscle contractions in the colon push the stool toward the rectum. By
the time stool reaches the rectum, it is solid because most of the water has
been absorbed.
The
hard and dry stools of constipation occur when the colon absorbs too much water
or if the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing the stool
to move through the colon too slowly. Common causes of constipation are
- not enough fiber in the diet
, not enough liquids,
lack of exercise,
medications,
irritable bowel syndrome,
changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, older age, and travel,
abuse of laxatives,
ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement,
specific diseases such as stroke (by far the most common)
problems with the colon,rectum
problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic constipation)
, and hormonal imbalances.
- magnesium deficiency
How to get your
bowels moving.
1.
Hydrate your bowel - get plenty of water. You should be drinking 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces. If you way 150 lbs, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water per day. Liquids add fluid to the
colon and bulk to the stool, making bowel movements softer and easier to pass.
2. Take a magnesium supplement. Many people with candida also have magnesium deficiencies (see bonus #1) and this deficiency can cause constipation. You can safely take between 500-750 mg of this mineral - the best magnesium supplement we have found in Natural Calm magnesium. It can make a difference in just about 24 hours! This is probably the most efficient, most consistent and least expensive option
2.
Get
a good fiber supplement. We heartily recommend LOCLO Fiber. It is not a harsh fiber for most and it not only gets your bowels moving, but it will wrap around the dead candida and toxins in the bowel and carry it out of your system! This fiber in conjunction with the ThreeLac is helping to make this candida cleanse very easy to get through. The Loclo contains pysillium hull and is not as potentially constipating as pysillium husk, but you should still drink plenty of water with it. Other fibers that will do are metamucil, benefiber.
3.
Get
some exercise! Walking is a wonderful way to stimulate a bowel
movement.
4.
Lubricate your bowel with essential fatty acids found in fish
oil, borage oil and flax.
If you are struggling with acne,
breakouts or itchy skin, this is an
indication that your bowels may not be moving well enough or you may be having a hard time grabbing the toxins. The Loclo is very effective at helping to pull the toxins that are causing the breakouts.
If you do not feel that you are making the progress you want
even after following these recommendations or if these things are just to difficult to fit into your life style, please try some magnesium or Oxy-Powder.
Thanks!
