00:55. I always quote this book the title of the book with clients because that's not a mistake: tissue cleansing through bowel management. So you could lose a lot of weight and you could still be pretty sick, and your tissues you could be full of toxic load. One of the things that I like to talk about on my YouTube channel, especially about colonics, and the bowel, is to show people right here that all of your veins are attached to the colon wall, including this pink thing your arteries and your veins ed to the colon attached to the colon your vagus nerve. Your vagus nerve attaches to the colon. Your lymphs line the inside of the colon. Why do you think back in the 70s and 80s, even before, your grandma showed us how to do a water enema. And why is it so important? Again it's tissue cleansing through bowel management.
Most of the women I have worked with for 20 years, and we're talking hundreds of people, I've given about 20,000 colonics to people, women are not thinking about the fact that anatomically their female parts is laying over their bowel anatomically. So you have a problem if you have a lot of stool stuck in your colon: that's going to affect everything, and I just showed you all the blood vessels attaching to it. So if it's full of poop and full of toxins, those toxins go directly into your blood [through] your veins and your arteries that are attached to the colon.
2:54. These books and many of the books that instructed me when I had fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, lupus, and MS, and then eventually breast cancer, I kept seeing, and I really felt like it was a God thing because every book I was studying about health back then and we didn't have the internet yet, guys, I kept seeing the calling, I kept seeing where these people were constipated or they had diarrhea, or their bowels were displaced or prolapsed prolapsed here and there, or they were always bloated, they were always gassy, and I thought there has to be an absolute equation between being sick, having headaches, feeling awful, and your bowel. Back in those old days, I have this book here, I think this is from the 40s, The Colon Health Handbook, they realize it had to do with your diet so it's all the diets you got to eat a mucus-free diet or meat-free, or whatever it was. And most of the religious things, or medical pilgrimage, of the world I mean in countries where before you ever had airplanes people weren't really going on a pilgrimage like you would go to India. You go to some of these places and the pilgrimage was part of cleansing your body this is all part of the religious purification rights that they would do in those places. So it's been understood for many many years and I noticed since about 2002, 2003, right in the early 2000s, that even with the advent of functional medicine, they have dropped the idea of the bowel affecting your tissues. If you got a lot of toxins in your bowel and you don't go regularly that's all going directly leeching out of your colon into your tissues. So your bowels can be sitting there with hardened black what is plaque let me show you some black whenever I show pictures like this of poop from patients people accuse me first of all they don't want to look at it and I don't blame you it's kind of awful but it's sticky and it's hard it gets black and dark because it's been in there a long time and people ask what is this shape of it well that's the shape of someone's calling it comes out in the shape that it was in in the colon. So you can imagine that to get into these shapes this one looks like a bike chain that it has to be sitting in the colon a fair amount of time to do that most people think that if they have a bowel movement once in the morning that they are fine and most women especially women don't go very often when I do speak with a woman who tells me she goes all the words are all the time then we have to look at this as a coin with both sides of the coin one side of the coin is complete constipation or going once a week or every 3 days the other side is this constant going where there's a lot of loose stool coming out and you're going four or five six seven eight times a day you never feel like you stop so you think there's no way I could have poop up there because I go all the time. So enduring both hypermotility and constipation is both not a healthy colon.
6:07. The healthiest colon is a muscle. Imagine your colon is basically a muscle organ that pushes matter forward. It's almost 5 ft long. Peristalsis is the musculature feeling that tells you that you have a bowel movement coming. For people with IBS, IBD, and all these conditions that doctors tell you that you have wrong with your colon, you might feel cramping and think, "Oh my goodness, I have to find a toilet in one second, or it's going to come out." That's not peristalsis. Peristalsis comes from the back of the five feet of colon. It gives you cramps forward, and you have a sense that you have to have a bowel movement, and that you're going to need it in a little bit of time to have a movement. But most people don't have that. It's one of the reasons why we do full-size enema bags with water in them, and we do colonics is to start bringing back the musculature of your colon so that your muscles will start to work again and push things forward. As I showed you with these pictures, what can happen is a stool has been sticky and stuck, and there hasn't been sufficient bowel movements over a period of time.
7:15. This can also happen by the way if you're on drugs, pain killers, sleep medicines, opiates, all of them relax the bowell and cause you to not have peristalsis because it's actually making you feel sedated, and that's really important. I want to read something here about women in breast cancer I did have breast cancer in '04 and '05 and I did not choose radiation or chemo and I was able to get well but I like to quote this because in 1982 the Saturday Evening Post had an article on the topic of constipation and cancer and this is a long time ago and I can only imagine that it has exponentially gotten worse this is a physician from the University of California and he reviewed the history of past researchers studying constipation. They found that 5% of women with one bowel movement per day would have abnormal dysplastic cells, which are precancerous cells. While 10% of women having fewer than one bowel movement a day would have this abnormality 20% of women having two or fewer bowel movements per day would show these plastic changes fluid. So these displastic cells in the colon are precancerous, meaning pre-breast and other cancers. So constipation produces these dysplastic cells. Wow!
10:15. 90% of America have SIBO, which is small intestine and bacterial overgrowth, and the leaky gut syndrome. And how would you get that that? By being on antibiotics, taking Tylenol every day, drinking tons of caffeine. Since the late 80s we have had glyphosate in our food, so they've got poison in them, and genetically modified the last 30 years. So a lot of these things affect our guts, especially prescription drugs.
10:45. Leaky gut syndrome is exactly what it sounds like you're eating food and there's our microscopic holes perforations where your undigested food is leaking out and going into your bloodstream the lining of your intestinal tract and so Candida albicans which is a fungus will grow in there and then you will start to not too late digest your food because it's escaping into your blood. Once these undigested particles of food and bacteria get into the bloodstream the body is going to mount an attack thinking that it's in a pathogen so the body goes into this which can lead to autoimmune disorders.
11:35. What have I seen for over 20 years that can relieve SIBO, relieve leaky gut syndrome, relieve headaches, relieve menstrual problems, and relieve even flu feelings, and other things that people are struggling with? I will tell you: a full size enema and a water colonics, if you can afford them.
12:08. Do you suffer from bloating, gas, distention? Are you always feeling brain fog? Can you not think ever? You're just feeling have you had breast cancer or do you have something happening now? Remember the dysplastic cells in the colons and breasts of these women when they studied them. If you go take Ex-Lax or if you take these stool softeners all of them disrupt your biome that's your good Flora that means you're good Flora you're good bacteria that gives us bowel movements those types of A's at the doctors give you that the drug stores give you they're actually damaging your good bacteria. And they destroy them especially stool softeners. They're not good for you. Way back, thousands of years ago, in one of these books, they were talking about a bird called an Ibis. And this bird would fly from continent to continent for days. When it landed on one of the continents, people observed the ibis. It would dip its long beak after it's long journey, he's exhausted, he would dip that beak into the water, pull it up into his beak, put his beak right up his rear end and wash himself out over and over again as a cleanse after continent hopping. If people of the earliest times who had anything going on they thought you know that makes sense right there how are enemas going to damage you we have gravity we're all subject to gravity you do an enemy a couple of days in a row you're like oh I'm never going to poop again yes you will you will poop again. When I had cancer it took me 2 years to get well doing it naturally without doing anything else. One of the things I did regularly was water enemas and coffee enemas.
And the amount of women who have hysterectomies whose colons don’t move more than 1 or 2x a wk. Doctors give stool softeners. Recently a newly minted 22 y/o nurse told me they didn’t teach her what an enema was & she asked me to explain. π€¦π»♀️ pic.twitter.com/EMT8ZPzEQj
Far too many people, professionals and laymen, think that enemas and colon irrigations wash out the intestinal flora and thus deprive the colon of a valuable means of lubrication. This school of thought is utterly false and totally devoid of truth and fact. When the packed accumulation of feces in the bowel leads to fecal incrustation, it is not possible for the lining of the colon to function normally, and the glands in this lining cannot produce the necessary intestinal flora or lubrication. --Norman W. Walker, NutriFunctional Nethersprings [and his ailments]
There are many reasons people don’t sleep. I’m not going into all of those but after 20+ years working with people’s COLON, I will tell you the number 1 reason is constipation. The colon is 5ft long. Even if you go every morning, that is not enough. The liver cannot do its own
. . . Detoxing in the wee hours of the night when it cannot dump into a toxic, backed up colon. And so… you are up. Then you take sleep meds and the liver has to deal with those too. I have written here often of the % of women with breast cancer who are constipated.
Intermittent constipation is part of the human condition. Someone taking the occasional Milk of Magnesium, that's normal stuff
Pelvic floor contains of 3 different organs in women: a bladder, vagina, and rectum. Oddly, you can have 3 different doctors involved in the repair unless you've got a sub-specialist like a gynecologist who's done a fellowship in urology, or a urologist who has done a fellowship in gynecology.
As a general rule, if the front half of your body is falling out and you need a uro-gynecologist, a lot of times the back half is falling out; oftentimes the back half is what caused the front half to fall out because of this chronic constipation issue. So I like to intervene on patients with constipation even at a young age simply because the longer you have the crazy straining phenomenon, the more likely it is you're going to strain out your bladder and your vagina inside out with time and at some point in time you've destroyed everything and it cannot be fixed. Inly God can make this pelvis. Once you've made it that thin, and stretched out the nerves, and stretched out the muscles it's just surgically an impossibility to fix in the way that makes the patient happy in a way that makes them feel like they have normal function. Because that is the goal. So I like to intervene early and a lot of these older doctors will like to let you complain about constipation for 30 to 40 years, and meanwhile your pelvis is falling apart. So don't do that. If you've got any of those symptoms seek help sooner rather than later.
7:15. What does a normal workup look like? What do you do to build out . . . How am I going to fix this young lady?
THREE FORMS OF CONSTIPATION
The first thing that I like to do is this is like a board exam now the first thing that I like to do is meet the patient. Then tell me what you mean by constipation. A lot of people don't know this but there are three forms of constipation: one is you never have an urge to use the restroom. When I talk to the patients here's what I want to know are you someone who poops once every two weeks? Your butt does not know that you need to use the restroom it's your belly that gives a cue in other words you don't feel like you need to use the restroom. That's one form of constipation that may not be related to your pelvic floor at all.
The second form of constipation is where you have to really strain really hard to use the restroom. And no matter how hard you strain you just cannot empty your rectum. It's a vexing vexing problem to have.
And then the third form of constipation is actually stool consistency where you've got little bricks going through you. So you really do have to know you don't like what are we talking about here. Little bricks that's not a surgical problem. This really slow constipation Transit sometimes turns into a surgical problem but a lot of times you can medicate your way out of it. That's what this Trulance and Linzess is. That's the type of constipation that those medicines were designed for. It's the gymnastics on the toilet to empty your rectum that's not a Trulance, Lizness problem. And I know primary care doctors in gastroenterologists are giving that medicine for that type of constipation, and it's probably not the best approach. I'm not going to fault anybody for trying that but a lot of times that won't help. A lot of these people can't pass gas without the crazy gymnastics. It really can be quite a vexing problem.
9:27. So when patients have that blockage from the rectum obviously the first thing that I need to do is to look at your butt and prove that you don't have a cancer sitting there or a scarred down area some of these women have had babies and episiotomies some of these people have had hemorrhoid surgeries you kind of have to make sure there's no scar tissue, you know, that the hole is kind of normal. I usually start looking for things like how strong are the muscles, how good is the tone? Do they have a vaginal bulge? Are there any other organs that are falling out of place? I may or may not look you know do you have hemorrhoids? Some people with hemorrhoids will have similar complaints almost everyone with this form of constipation has hemorrhoids so a lot of these patients will come in with a hemorrhoid right they're not willing to tell people that they got the constipation thing they'll tell me that they have hemorrhoids. And then I'll look and I'll say well you have a lot more Brewing back here than just hemorrhoids there's no muscle tone anymore
10:27. That's the byproduct of you straining for 20 years.
Yes, exactly, and every now and then someone does have horrific hemorrhoids, and they won't give me the history of constipation. I'll ask them if they have constipation, but they won't tell me they've got the straining. I'll take them to the operating room to fix the hemorrhoids; in the process of fixing the hemorrhoids, holy smokes, like this person has an internal rectal prolapse, which is a surgical condition that I am looking for in these patients with their blockage scenario.
11:11. So how would Dr. Toker describe a hemorrhoid?
The issue is that with a patient who has an internal prolapse, that's a blockage. When someone has a rectum that wants to turn and twist inside out because of a series of hernias in the pelvis, those patients are strain, strain, strain. You can't see that in the office. There's no exam in the office that reveals, "Oh, my gosh this is an internal prolapse." An external prolapse I can see, everyone can see. When the rectum finally secedes and it will, turning all the way inside out, it's obvious to the world that once that happens that becomes hard to keep from rehappening after surgery. It's one of the reasons why I'm like look you got the hemorrhoids and constipation, let me see, let me make sure you don't have this one other condition. I'll fix it now while it's simple to fix before it becomes a problem. Every time I fix it, it's just going to come back in 6 months. So that's what I'm hoping to accomplish anyway. On exams, I will see actual hemorrhoids or I will see everything kind of looks normal except weak muscles. You can almost see the hernias in the bulging of the pelvis. They have what is called a "rocker bottom" defect, where the pelvis has this kind of rocker's bottom. These patients will also come in complaining of pain, heaviness, fullness. You've never been pregnant, Rob, but your audience will know. When you're pregnant, it feels like there's a bowling ball in your body. Who put the bowling ball in your body? I didn't expect that when I was pregnant with my first child. Like what is this sensation? It doesn't occur to you when you're young that, yeah, the baby has some weight. There's some weight there, and your body can feel it. So when your muscles are weak, all of your internal organs are trying to follow gravity.
13:15. That's weight, and the weaker the muscle are the more discomfort that causes. So some of those patients will come in, and no hemorrhoid complaints, no straining constipation complaints. They'll come in with, you know, I've just got this pelvic pain, this pressure pain, so all those are kind of constellations of symptoms that I find when I see that anatomy. The one test that can find that with definitive certainty is an x-ray. It's hard to find this x-ray. Not all doctors even know this x-ray exists. It's called a defecography. That sounds terrible. It's an x-ray of you pooping. That's right, I said it. It doesn't hurt. But it's weird okay, and I apologize to everyone before I send them for the X-ray. This is the weirdest thing anyone's ever done to you, okay. So just want you to know because you're going to be awake, and it's going to be odd, okay? So this is the X-ray. Should I tell people that? I might as well educate them, yeah, this is the answer. Before the X-ray you got to drink a bunch of bowel prep, like Miralax.
GOOD DESCRIPTION OF COLON AND PELVIS, REQUIREMENTS, LIMITATIONS.
22:00. Women need collagen because their large pelvis, compared to a mans, has to afford space for a baby's head. With age you lose musculature, you lose tone. So now you have all this muscular turn tone that's been filling the pelvis holding everything at bay and that disappears and so it becomes like a deep bowl, like a spaghetti bowl and you've got this . . . the way to imagine a uterus flopped in the middle of this bowl now it sinks to the bottom of the bowl. And the colon is not a rigid structure. It's a flexible structure, like a piece of spaghetti. So if you put one piece of spaghetti in a bowl, it'll just go to the bottom of the bowl into a coil.

Can't imagine that grain flour would be good for the colon or improve constipation.
Flour + water = Glue. In the 70s we made wallpaper glue that way. Don’t matter if it’s “whole wheat” or refined π€·π»♀️ corn, rice & soy (all grains) create glue in the colon.
