Build A Better Colon (Part 2) - Why?

Straight Medical Doctors attribute some slow bowel transit time and constipation issues to the following conditions:
Hemorrhoids
Anal Fissures
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Diverticulitis
Abnormal Growths

Complimentary and Alternative Practitioners will often attribute additional problems like allergies, low functioning immune system, head aches, lower abdominal pain, and skin issues to constipation.

Regardless of what philosophy you want to go with having a healthy vital colon positively affects your health. It is best not to lose the forest for the trees.
