WENDY MCPHAIL: [Constipation] 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


Colon Health Key to Vibrant Life, Dr. Norman Walker, 1995.  

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.

Widespread sterilization operation led by the U.S. during the 1950s and 60s in Puerto Rico.

This documentary was referenced in this interview with Jose Vega by Garland Dixon.

La Operación is a 1982 documentary that shows the widespread sterilization operation led by the U.S. during the 1950s and 60s in Puerto Rico. Ana María García directed the film which highlights how the U.S. pushed for increased female sterilization in Puerto Rico. She mixes in the documentary a blend of interviews with women from different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds but the interviews are not the only focus of her work; she also incorporates scenes showing a sterilization procedure in addition to other historical and contextual parts. 
Puerto Rican women and their families were promised success and stability after they underwent “la operación,” or sterilization. These efforts undercut the agency of women over their own bodies as they may have been drawn to the procedure and its false promises out of economic necessity/social pressure. The operation was marketed as a solution to poverty and many women thought that once their tubes were tied, they could be “untied.” This was not the case and they ended up losing their reproductive rights to give birth to more children. The film portrays these women as victims of this lack of knowledge and forced sterilization. 
La Operación [. . .] does a remarkable job of linking colonial policies and their impacts on the lives of Puerto Rican women, a perspective that is often left out of discussions about the U.S.-led sterilization. [Description from Journeys at Dartmouth essay.]
This background on this period of Puerto Rican history is good.

WOMEN WHO EAT A LOT OF FAST FOOD MAY TAKE LONGER TO BECOME PREGNANT

EATING FAST FOOD LINKED TO INFERTILITY

Lisa Rapaport reported on a study conducted by the Robinson Research Institute and the University of Adelaide in Australia
that showed the eating fast-food 4 times a week double the rate of infertility in women from 8% to 16%.  Nothing to sneeze at, particularly given the difficulty that some women have at getting pregnant in the first place due to age and factors besides diet.  So fast-food doesn't make women infertile the report will claim; it simply means that eating junk food may cause a delay with some woman in getting pregnant.
Compared to women who generally avoided fast food, women who indulged four or more times a week before they conceived took almost a month longer to become pregnant, the study of 5,598 first-time mothers in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK found.
39% of women conceived in one month of having sex with their partner without contraception, obviously.  

But here's the kicker: 8% experienced infertility and failed to conceive after 12 months of trying.  
Overall, 2,204 women, or 39 percent, conceived within one month of when they began having sex with their partner without contraception and 468, or 8 percent, experienced infertility and failed to conceive after 12 months of trying.
That 8% infertility is just an average, not including an average or subgroup of women eating fast-food.  Fast-food is the advertising euphemism to make junk food palatable.
While women who rarely or never ate fast food had an 8 percent risk of infertility, the risk was 16 percent among women who ate fast food at least four times weekly.
A healthier diet for most folks is to eat lots of polyphenols in their daily diet.  That means lots of plant products, but not just any plant products.  You can't eat grapes all day long and expect to be healthy.  No, I am talking about low-glycemic fruits and vegetables, which turns out to be greens and dark or red colored fruit.  Low-glycemic is the key.  
“Fast foods contain high amounts of saturated fat, sodium, and sometimes sugar,” said lead study author Jessica Grieger of the Robinson Research Institute and the University of Adelaide in Australia.
But just as the study asserts its conclusions, the authors retract it . . . sort of . . . by disclaiming any direct relationship between diet and health.  Oh, brother.  I cannot think of any greater or obvious connection in the world.  People can absorb a lot of unhealthy habits and put on years but might find themselves aging poorly without noticing it.  Or maybe they do notice it, but cannot find a way to stop or a way out of their unhealthy habits.  I would go further to say that male fertility is also connected to eating well.  
Although these dietary components and their relationship to fertility has not been specifically studied in human pregnancies, higher amounts of saturated fatty acids were identified in oocytes (an egg cell in the ovary) of women undergoing assisted reproduction and studies in mice have demonstrated that a high-fat diet had a toxic effect on the ovaries,” Grieger said by email. “We believe that fast food may be one factor mediating infertility through altered ovarian function.”
The Eurekalert concluded that 
. . . while intake of fruit and fast foods affected time to pregnancy, pre-pregnancy intake of green leafy vegetables or fish did not.

Meaning that the vegetables and fish did not disrupt or cause any delay in time to getting pregnant.  

There are other culprits to infertility besides junk food.  Lisa Rapaport's report lists a few from the study. 
The risk increases with age, and can also be exacerbated by smoking, excessive drinking, stress, an unhealthy diet, too much exercise, being overweight or obese or having sexually transmitted infections.
Women in the current study were typically overweight and most of them ate fast food at least twice a week, the study team notes in Human Reproduction. 
There are ways to boost fertility naturally.
