What are you saying Smallpoxgirl? That it doesnt matter that people have them?
I'm saying A: they're very easy to eradicate. and B: I ain't spending years of my life going around to all the schools sticking scotch tape to all the 2nd grade anuses trying to research their prevalence. If you want to, go for it.
"We were standing on the edges
Of a thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought would never end
Now is nothing more than a memory
The way things were before
I lost my way" - OCMS

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('edpeak', 'A')nother reason to eat plant-based high fiber diet..

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Over a lifetime it's estimated that the gut digests more than 65 tonnes of food and drink. Much of this food will be low in fibre, putting the gut under great strain.
One common outcome of this is diverticular disease, a condition that affects the large bowel, that's believed to be the result of not having enough fibre in the diet.
Diverticular disease is very uncommon in countries such as Africa, where the diets are high in fibre. In Western countries where many people still don't eat enough fibre, it becomes more common as people become older.
Well, not to say that plant fibre is bad (quite the contrary), but that may not necessarily be the cause of diverticulitis and other bowel disorders:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')onstipation, haemorrhoids, anal fissures, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome, bowel incontinence, bladder incontinence (including children's bed-wetting), prolapse, prostate disorder, cystitis and urinary tract infections, Crohns Disease, low back and sciatic pain. Anecdotally, all of the above have improved, and have often been completely corrected, after a simple change in daily habit from sitting to squatting for bowel movements.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he colon stores body wastes until we decide the time and place for elimination. Our flexible colons have one inlet valve from the small intestine (the ileocaecal valve) and one outlet valve (the anal canal). When the anal canal opens, gravity and muscular peristaltic waves help move body wastes from the body. Now, if a container requires internal pressure (peristalsis) to empty it, it is necessary for the inlet valve to close when the outlet valve opens. The indications are that both these valves function as they should only when we squat. Think carefully about this, your decision to eliminate with a daily squat could prolong your life and, more importantly, will improve your quality of life.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on. -- Winston Churchill
