Solving the problems of constipation and diarrhoea
Article written by: Prof. Katharine Horak, Doctor of Natural Science
If you have no aches or pains and generally feel well you assume that you are completely healthy. However, suddenly, there is a problem. Your bowel movement is irregular for a longer period of time or, conversely, something is happening in your bowels that makes you go to the toilet more frequently than usual. Generally, this is not considered to be serious, and you believe that whatever it is will soon be over, resolving itself naturally. But what if the problem doesn't disappear on its own and you start suffering from pain caused by constipation, or experience unpleasant cramps and a loose stool? In such cases occasional constipation can become chronic constipation or chronic diarrhoea.
Perhaps it sounds a little frightening, but this should be treated as a serious health issue that needs to be solved as soon as possible because it represents an insidious pathological condition of the bowels. If left untreated not only does one's quality of life deteriorate but in fact it is open to danger. Because of ignorance or embarrassment one is often less likely to address this problem. Sometimes it is only mentioned to a friend or relative. However, this is not a good line of action to take since this means neglecting one's health. It not only affects the quality of life but on top of that something worse could be in store. Problems with digestion may arise. In many cases haemorrhoids and other complications occur. But it may be a signal for serious diseases such as cancer, diverticulosis, bowel inflammation, ulcerative colitis, allergies, etc.
You must realize that the longer you suffer from constipation or diarrhoea, the more difficult it is to treat . In any case, it is important to talk to a doctor at this stage.
If you have problems with constipation using the Colonix programme is of great help.
It is one of the most effective and safe natural solutions to constipation ever. Colonix fibre has an ideal composition. It contains high-quality soluble and insoluble fibre which maintain a healthy colon.
It provides a gentle support for the natural process of evacuation:
- the symptoms of constipation are alleviated or dissipate altogether
- it brings relief from haemorrhoids
Acute or chronic constipation
What is the difference? To explain this condition let’s look at concrete examples. We know from personal experience that when away from home for any length of time, e.g. on a business trip or holiday, suddenly, for a few days, we have problems evacuating. The constipation causes may be psychological, or as a result of taking certain medication or due to a time difference, which creates havoc with our biorhythm. Under normal circumstances this condition is only temporary and the problem resolves itself naturally. This is an instance of an acute constipation and there is no reason for alarm.
However, it can also happen that the problem lingers for a longer period of time and there seems to be no improvement. If this is the case it is necessary to start finding solutions to the problem for your own sake. It's important to realize that by now this condition is categorized as a habitual chronic constipation. This is a condition which you have gradually created yourself.
The chronic constipation was "cultivated". For example, by not listening to the urge to pass a stool, incorrect eating habits and a lack of exercise. It can also be the result of improper evacuation, or a defective mechanism of evacuation. This happens when there is an insufficient coordination of the muscles of the pelvic basin. Functional disorders of the intestinal movement can impact on the whole of the large intestine which is broadened, in a sack-like manner, in several places. The enlarged sacks contain entrapped food which may have been there for several years and are sources of dangerous toxins which gradually contaminate the whole body.
Chronic constipation – it’ll poison you
Well, yes! Perhaps you don’t believe it. But it also represents an insidious pathological bowel condition. Insidious, because apart from a difficult, sometimes even painful evacuation there don’t seem to be any other further problems. Often though, it creates a situation in the body where the toxins that should have left the bowels when evacuating, remain in the body, accumulate and penetrate the blood. From there they reach the vital organs. When the body stores waste on a long-term basis it poisons itself and this can emerge as headaches, fatigue, loss of concentration and even impairment of the immune system. Moreover, the number of the “friendly” bacteria and other beneficial natural micro-organisms in the bowels (for more see here) decreases and putrefying bacteria and yeasts become dominant. This results in a suppressed production of vitamins B1, B2, B12, K and other substances vitally important for the body. When this happens skin problems appear, and there is also a disruption in the nervous system and blood clotting.
It can take the toxins decades to work until the damage done to the defence mechanism is seen in heart, kidney, liver or pancreatic disease. There is also a disturbance in the intestines which manifests itself as inflammation, polyps, haemorrhoids and even tumours.
Constipation treatment
Many cases point to the fact that constipation and its causes are directly linked to incorrect eating habits and lifestyle: for instance, not eating food containing enough fibre, not drinking enough liquids and not taking enough exercise. This may result in frequent stress, irregular bowel movement, specifically, suppressing the urge to pass a stool. Some people think that the problem can be solved by using laxatives. This solution, however, is really shooting yourself in the foot as, although it may help in the short term, it can lead to serious illness later on.
For a proper constipation treatment food is used as an aid. The best outcomes are achieved if eating habits are changed as soon as possible - eat high-fibre foods, use quality oils and fats and drink enough water. If there is enough fibre in the food the bowel movement becomes more regular. The stool becomes softer due to a sufficient intake of liquids. High quality oils and fats protect the bowels and peristalsis becomes normal. Your menu should comprise of enough whole grains and their off-shoots, such as whole-grain bakery products. Also legumes and more vegetables and fruit, perhaps even dried fruit (for more see here), should be included. As far as liquids are concerned, it is not good to drink sweetened beverages. The best option is pure well water. Try to use vegetable oils exclusively – the best ones are cold pressed olive, rape seed, flax seed, pumpkin seed oil, etc. Adequate physical activity helps to improve the function of the bowels and so contributes to their recovery.
Diarrhoea causes
Diarrhoea is a symptom of various disorders relating to the functioning of the digestive system. It is not a disease on its own, but a symptom. Diarrhoea is a condition characterized by an increased frequency of evacuation (3 – 5 times per day). From the metabolic standpoint it represents an insufficient absorption of water and electrolytes. The water content in the stool determines its consistency. When the water content increases from the normal 70 – 80% to 80 – 90% the stool is no longer solid but runny. This can also be serious, and long-lasting diarrhoea may even result in death. Diarrhoea, as far as pathological disorders are concerned, can be started by four mechanisms (for more see here).
Diarrhoea - acute and chronic
The causes of acute diarrhoea are found mainly in infections, medication and toxins. They penetrate the organism via the skin and mouth, for example by eating contaminated foods and through water sources. It is short-lived and lasts for less than 48 hours. In this case the diarrhoea is, in fact, useful as it has a cleansing role. This is how the body eliminates the harmful substances or undesirable bacteria, which caused the inflammation of the lining of the stomach and bowels. Diarrhoea caused by bacteria is often accompanied by a unpleasant nausea preceding vomiting, followed by a fever and a spasmodic stomach ache. The stool contains mucus and blood. Systemic diseases like listeriosis, measles or hepatitis are usually associated with diarrhoea of this kind. As with acute constipation, acute diarrhoea is also a temporary condition which disappears when the causes are removed and so there is no reason for concern.
Chronic diarrhoea lasts longer than two weeks and may be accompanied by fever, strong stomach cramps, a rash or yellow fever (the skin and the sclera become yellow), permanent weakening of the organism or the presence of pus, mucus or blood in the stool. The sufferer is commonly dehydrated despite taking in enough liquids. These are very serious and upsetting symptoms which have to be dealt with immediately as further complications may occur. Older people and children are most at risk.
With violent diarrhoea, there is a threat of electrolytes (sodium, chlorine, magnesium and, mainly, potassium) being released. The heart rhythm may be disturbed due to a lower amount of potassium in the blood. Dehydration sets in resulting from a loss of water and this can bring about a sudden collapse. In older people an insufficient intake of water causes blood to thicken which may lead to a stroke.
Diarrhoea treatment
Firstly, and most importantly, the possible underlying causes of diarrhoea need to be addressed, thus ensuring the correct and relevant treatment, diarrhoea being a symptom, not an illness. Different treatment is required depending on the condition of the sufferer and how long the diarrhoea has lasted. It is the underlying disease that has caused the diarrhoea that is being dealt with. In every case the treatment is done with rehydration solutions in an amount which makes up for the liquids lost through the stool. In standard cases patients are given liquids orally. With patients who are in shock, or after vomiting heavily, the administration of liquids is done outside the digestive system (parenterally). While suffering from diarrhoea it is common to adjust the diet to the requirements of the given situation. For more see here.
When do we use the Colonix Program?
The programme is an ideal means of prevention, which protects against various diseases caused by chronic constipation. It is one of the most effective and safe solutions for constipation ever. However, in cases of diarrhoea it is not advisable to use the Colonix Program. It is first of all important to deal with diarrhoea by treating it, and getting rid of it. Only then can the bowel cleansing begin, resulting in the gradual cleansing of the whole body. The Colonix components (Colonix fibre, Paranil and KleriTea) have an ideal composition. Colonix fibre consists of high-quality soluble and insoluble fibre. These have a beneficial effect and maintain the health of the colon. Due also to its other ingredients (see here) the following is achieved:
- a natural elimination process
- protection of the bowel mucosa from the undesirable irritation by toxic and carcinogenic substances
- a reduced risk of carcinoma of the colon and rectum
- protection from various diseases; reduced risk of intestinal outpouchings, bowel inflammation, ulcerative bowel inflammation, etc.

Thank you Dr. Natura for changing my life for the better!
For the past 20 years, I have dreaded going to the bathroom due to constipation. I tried different diets, doctor's prescriptions, and holistic approaches, but my condition remained the same After reading some of the testimonies on your website, I decided to give the Colonix and Toxinout programs a try. It was the best decision I have ever made.
The Colonix is the best tasting fiber product ever because it has almost no taste. Only after using the products for 3 days, I noticed right away that my bowel movement is so smooth. I should put up a sign on my bathroom door that says "No Pushing" and that would describe my experience. After just 2 weeks, the constipation is a thing of the past. I just can't believe that it works so quickly. I also notice other side benefits. My skin looks so much clearer. I feel so much lighter and have more energy. I actually look forward to going to the bathroom.
Without hesitation, I can say that your detox products are the best in the world. I hope my testimony will persuade more people to use your products since it actually works! Please keep up the great work.
