To have regular bowel movements and escape constipation you need to eat more fiber. Fiber from raw vegetable and fruits is better for you than fiber from grains. Why? Raw vegetables and fruits are live foods with enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and many antioxidants that are charged electrically. They have a magnetic energy that is absorbed by your DNA. So get more fiber from this source and less from grains.
Don't forget about water. If you don't get enough water during the day, your body will take the water out of your fecal matter in the colon and make your stools hard. Drink a minimum of 3 glasses a day of pure water and work up to drinking 5-6.
Here's where you need to do some �fiber work.� You need to increase your fiber intake to around 40 - 60 mg or more. Yes this is a lot. In the past, I recommended 35mg of fiber, but this is an average. You want to have more than the average amount. Here are some foods with high fiber. Add them to your eating habits so that you will not be constipated. Fiber does much more in your colon than make you regular,it:
* combines with toxins and moves them out in your stools
* combines with heavy metal and moves them out in your stools
* combines with cholesterol and bile and prevents them from being reabsorbed into your blood stream.
* helps to prevent colon cancer and other colon diseases.
* keeps your colon walls strong and healthy by not allowing toxins to accumulate there.
* cleans the colon walls and pulls toxins out of colon pockets and holes.
The following foods provide 3 gm of fiber. Add a variety of these foods to your daily diet to get more fiber into your eating habits. Start eating these foods little by little to get use to eating high fiber levels.

How do you know when you are starting to get plenty of fiber in your diet? When you are getting plenty of fiber in your diet, your stools weigh less and float in your toilet water. So if your stools sink in water then you need more fiber. This is just a general rule. If you eat excess fiber your stools may sink, but I doubt any of you fall in this category.

Do you get static electric shocks?
Do radios buzz when you walk past them?
Is your child (or you) addicted to computer games?
Do you get a headache if you use a computer for very long?
A simple but rather strange self-help technique from HK can be used safely by anyone. An electric hair drier is used to degausse [demagnetise] the body. The hair drier is switched on and then the side of the motor is run over the whole of the body.
This needs to be done on average once a week, or even more frequently for anyone who is particularly sensitive electrically. The whole procedure takes less than 5 minutes.
Some people are anxious about using a hair drier because they have been told that they should reduce their exposure to electrical equipment as much as possible. However, here the alternating motor of the hair drier against the body is being used to demagnetise the body and so make it less susceptible to electro-magnetic pollution.
This is not the way in which people normally use a hair drier!
Adults and children who are �addicted� to television or computer games, people who are susceptible to static electric shocks, and those who develop headaches, etc. if they use computers, seem to particularly benefit from this procedure.
