Dr. Christopher’s Original Formula Lower Bowel Capsules – 100 count

Primary bowel cleanser, removes digestive system toxins, helps relieve bowel stasis, restores peristalsis and gives proper “tone” to bowels

This bowel cleansing formula is good for both constipation and diarrhea. In addition to its effect on the lower bowel, the product is formulated with herbs that have been traditionally used to improve the health of the digestive, cardiovascular, and nervous systems and to boost the immune system.

Constipation (colonic stasis) is an unnatural  state characterized by no timely bowel motility for more than a day or many days or in the worst cases a week or more. Acute or chronic diarrhea is a situation where there is a rapid elimination due to an infection or parasites absorbed through poor quality water or food. Weak digestion can also cause chronic diarrhea. Dr. Christopher’s Lower Bowel Formula helps restore normal function to a bowel that is encumbered (constipated) or weakened (diarrhea).

Many years ago Dr. Christopher posed the question: Why do so many people suffer constipation these days? His answer was that the major reason for this is that they eat too much animal fat and protein and low amounts of fiber foods such as bread, cereals, vegetables and fruits. Nutritionists distinguish a so-called “Western-style” food, when a person eats mostly fast foods. The situation is aggravated by insufficient daily intake of water, inactive lifestyle, sedentary work, and stress. These are the classic causes of constipation.

Dr. Christopher’s views reflect the naturopathic philosophy of health: disease begins in the digestive tract. According to this model, if the intestine is constantly packed with waste products that accumulate bacteria, the barrier function of the intestinal wall weakens and toxins enter the blood stream and are spread throughout the body. The first organs to suffer are the reproductive organs, kidneys, and the liver. Over time, these organs are involved in various chronic processes that can lead to disease. Such diseases do not go away even after intensive treatment, because the cause of the infection remains intact. The words irritation and inflammation can be a substituted for infection.

In addition to creating a toxic, static tissue state, lower bowel dysfunction can cause a back up of normal gastric function and normal secretions, worsening the stomach’s ability to absorb nutrients and other substances required by the body. This naturopathic understanding of how disease builds up over time explains many ailments such as indigestion and dyspepsia, diseases of the liver, kidney, bladder, numerous skin diseases and allergies, more than half of women’s diseases, disorders of the nervous system, and even frequent colds and headaches

Besides the removal of toxins, the Lower Bowel Formula has been used as part of a program to remove heavy metals from the body. Patients have found these herbs can reduce tiredness from toxic build up. The formula is perfect choice for a cleanse, and can be a component of a weight loss program. Others have stated that they were able to decrease the use of such laxatives as psyllium over time, reduce hemorrhoids, and relieve Irritable Bowel Syndrome.*
