Many people suffer now and again, or even for many years, from chronic constipation. More women than men are affected by this ailment. This problem often starts gradually and leads to a feeling of fullness, a distended stomach and a general feeling of being unwell, right through to cramp-like pains when passing a stool and the development of hemorrhoids, especially with hard stools. People who are affected usually go to the toilet less than three times a week.

If serious organic reasons for constipation have been ruled out, then not drinking enough, a lack of minerals such as magnesium, lack of exercise, mental problems and also some drugs could play a role in the causes. Insufficient time or going to the toilet in the wrong place can also often prevent the bowels being emptied healthily.

A major cause of constipation is a diet which is heavy in acids, due to excessive consumption of coffee, alcohol, candy, crisps, fast food, meat, fish, cooked meats etc. This can result in a lack of the important fiber we obtain from vegetables, raw foods, fruit and wholegrain products such as amaranth, quinoa, millet etc. which on the one hand increases our feeling of fullness and on the other hand retains water in the intestines, increases the volume of the stools and through the increased pressure stimulates digestive activity.

Alongside the kidneys, the lungs and the skin, the intestine is a primary elimination organ. With lasting constipation, the elimination function of this major organ more or less ceases. The resultant back pressure of acids and toxins also leads to decomposition and fermentation in the intestine, with negative consequences on our health. Inflammation of the intestines, overweight, cellulite, fungal infestations, back pain, menstruation problems etc. can develop as a result.

What can be done against constipation?

Acid generating substances should be reduced or avoided. You should also stop smoking and reduce your stress level.

An adequate and alkaline-generating diet including plenty of vegetables, salad, raw foods, fruit and seeds encourages our digestive processes in a natural way due to the fiber content. When eating you should ensure you chew thoroughly, because as the saying goes, “chewing well is half way to digesting”.

Taking four tablespoons of WurzelKraft (AlkaLife) during the day has proved to be helpful. The powder from the one hundred plants it contains encourages digestive activity in a fully natural way. Taking at least two teaspoons of flax seeds in a glass of water in the evening has also been shown to help the digestion by the next morning. The mixture should be drunk down as quickly as possible.

To help the digestion first thing in the morning, we highly recommend MorgenStund´ millet and buckwheat porridge, with the addition of several teaspoons of WurzelKraft (AlkaLife), fruit, nuts and perhaps a dash of cream, soya milk or rice milk.

At midday raw foods and salad can best be digested, and in the evening you are recommended to eat steamed vegetables with potatoes, millet etc., a hotpot or vegetable soup. The evening meal should not be too generous and should not be eaten later than 19.00 so that the intestine is not unnecessarily overloaded and intestinal fermentation overnight is avoided.

Flax seeds, semen plantaginis, can also be used for constipation, but are only effective when taken with plenty of non-carbonated water. Ribwort seeds can also be taken – mix one heaped teaspoon of these seeds in a glass of water, stir well and drink it down immediately.

Dried prunes which have been soaked in water are also a proven domestic remedy for constipation.

In general it is important to drink 1.5-2 litres of non-carbonated water during the day, and in addition 0.5-1.5 litres of 7×7 KräuterTee (7×7 AlkaHerb) is recommended to loosen any intestinal waste. If necessary an occasional alkaline drink can also be helpful.

Alkaline foot baths and full baths support the elimination of acids and harmful substances via the skin. Two to three foot baths a week are recommended, or the alkaline stockings and 1 full bath a week. Brushing the body in the elimination direction during the alkaline baths has also proved to be useful. The abdomen should be brushed downwards.

Alkaline enemas are a gentle and natural way of cleansing the large intestine. 7×7 KräuterTee (7×7 AlkaHerb) with a pinch of MeineBase (AlkaBath) is recommended as an enema fluid.

Regular exercise in the fresh air also encourages digestion and counteracts constipation. A very helpful form of exercise is regular jumping on the trampoline. Have a jump before breakfast, before lunch and before your evening meal for two to three minutes as far as possible. This works wonders, either for constipation or for shifting flatulence.

On a deeper level constipation could also be a sign for a deep holding, a deep fear of letting go of control over ones life. If we are constantly trying to forcefully control every aspect of our life we soon loose deep joy and love. Instead of spontanious we become controlling and fearful.
Since we believe that body, mind and soul are very connected only we as honesty and love can heal us completely…

Speaking from our own experience starting the alkaline diet will help you with your wish to become pregnant.

We explained in “What deteriorates our health and beauty” that all of our vital functions are due to a balance of alkaline and acids.

A radical change of diet and the triple jump of purification (cleansing with 7×7 AlkaHerb, purification with alkaline applications based on AlkaBath, regeneration with Wurzelkraft andMorgenStund´) will completely boost all of your vital forces.

My wife and I tried to become pregnant for about 2 years. Nothing happend. Then we both intensivly started the Dr. Jentschura cure: eating WurzelKraft, taking regularly long full bath and drinking lots of AlkaBath tea. And luckily we become pregnant and shortly after the birth of our first son my wife become pregnant again (although some people told us: while breast feading you cannot get pregnant).

If couples tried to get a baby for years and gone through a lot of hardship, frustration and stress it is also very important to release that stress and start anew. Stress causes large amounts of acids in our bodies. Releasing stress is like a refreshing and relaxing bath with AlkaBath: in the beginning you still feel the stress in your body but then you can let warmly go of the past. And you start to feel the love rising in your body which is not dependent on any circumstance in your life…

Daily Plan to Activate Your Life Forces

Morning
Alkaline brushing of hands and feet
Dry brushing in the direction of elimination
2-3 cups of 7×7 KräuterTee (7×7 AlkaHerb) and non-carbonated water
1 portion of MorgenStund´
3-5 teaspoons of WurzelKraft (AlkaLife)

During the Day
2-3 cups of 7×7 KräuterTee (7×7 AlkaHerb) and non-carbonated water
2-5 teaspoons of WurzelKraft (AlkaLife)
Bath with MeineBase (AlkaBath) (once or twice a week)
Alkaline shower, peeling with MeineBase (AlkaBath), alkaline wrap
regular aerobic exercise: yoga, swimming, walking
laughing and enjoying life

Evening
1 cup of 7×7 KräuterTee (7×7 AlkaHerb) and non-carbonated water
3-5 teaspoons of WurzelKraft (AlkaLife)
1 footbath with MeineBase (AlkaBath), duration 30-45 minutes

During the Night
AlkalineStockings and/or cuffs as often as possible

To boost your vitality and health you have to see the complete picture: changing your diet towards the alkaline diet is great but it only one brick you need for the renovation of your body.

Using the fact that our skin in the largest organ for cleansing we should help our body to cleanse though daily foot and body baths and brushes (please read more on our website www.YouInFocusProducts.com in purification).

Another brick concerns the fact that not only lots of our tissue and most organs are polluted with impurities due to long years of an acidic life style (Dr. Jentschura 7×7 AlkaHerb with 49! herbs helps with that)but also our intestines could use some cleansing!!!!

That sounds a little funny but it is crucial because you can have the best diet in the world but if your testines are polluted even the best nutrition cannot be absorbed by the body!

I have a littel enema device from Germany and since a couple of years I use it once in a while. I create 1-3 liters highly alkaline solution using AlkaBath (Dr. Jentschuras high energy bath salts) and also some of Dr. Jentschura 7×7 AlkaHerb Tea and then I cleanse my colon. It’s good.

A friend shared with me whenever she feels sick she is cleansing her colon and she is good again!!!

The do-it-yourself at home is very good but you can also do a colon hydro therapy. Usulally the therapist will cleanse your colon 3 times in one week. That is usually very intense. Because the more impurities you have accumulated over the years releasing will be very beneficial but also will feel like somebody pulled away the floor under your feet!
So if you do it for the first time after a long period I recommand to have only one session a week.
If you live in the Edmonton area I recommend Solis Wellness: www.solis-wellness.com. Vey sweet people.

Please take care of yourself!

Concerning the alkaline life style and an alkaline diet we should really enjoy the cleansing and purifying beneficials of spa treatments. For your information please study this:

What is real beauty and health and what are the benefits of eating alkaline foods in an alkaline diet?

Physical health means that the cells, tissues and organs are free of acids, toxins and impurity deposits while at the same time having full vitamin and mineral reserves. Allowing these reserves to remain untouched for as long as possible is the best prerequisite for permanently staying healthy and beautiful.

If all cells, tissues and organs have a sufficient reserve of nutrient potential, they are then able to continuously regenerate themselves, defend against and eliminate toxic substances.

How can I stay beautiful and healthy?

Avoid all harmful things!

The primary prerequisite for long-lasting health and beauty is to reduce or, even better, avoid the acid-generating lifestyle habits previously mentioned (e.g. too much stress, excess exercise, acidic and acid-generating eating habits that include too much protein, animals fats, sugar and sweets, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, fast food and additive-enriched, pre-processed foods) and replace them with an alkaline-generating, primarily wholesome vegetarian diet. For millions of years we have needed the nutrients of plants for our health and beauty.

Eat, drink and do beneficial things!

Through a primarily wholesome vegetarian and therefore mineral-enriched, alkaline-generating diet with lots of vegetables, some fruit and omni-molecular (complete) plant-derived foods, we can make sure that our bodies’ own mineral reserves remain well filled. This in turn ensures that our beauty and heath will be maintained for the long-term. Alen, Spirulina, Dr. Jentschura WurzelKraft and similar products are such kinds of omni-molecular foods derived from numerous plants. The great number of nutrients contained in these food products gave them their name: Latin omnes = all; all molecules = omnimolecular.

Drinking approximately 1 litre of non-carbonated water and ½ – 1 litre or more of herbal tea does a good job of thoroughly cleansing the human body and its elimination organs.

Stress can be balanced out for example through meditation, autogenic training, reading a good book or a relaxing walk. Excessive exercise can be replaced by yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates and stretching.

Discover the healthy balance between acids and bases for yourself, for “pleasure is in taking everything in moderation”. Low amounts of acids can be enjoyed if compensated with excess alkalinity. But you can and should balance out every excessive acidic pleasure with alkaline-generating foods and alkaline body care!

Eliminate all harmful things!

The diseases in modern society only develop because our naturally foreseen elimination organs are not capable of eliminating large amounts of acids, toxins and the neutral salts generated with the assistance of our body’s own minerals. Our body has no other option but to deposit toxins that cannot be eliminated. To regain or maintain health and beauty, “cleansing treatments” are recommended during which the acids and toxins are effectively eliminated with the help of the skin and mucous membranes, our other elimination organs, and which re-establish the acid-base equilibrium and successfully eliminate the deposited impurities.

Healthy compensating equalisers:

1 cup of coffee : 1 tsp. AlkaLife or a similar product + 1 glass of water

one small meal with meat : one large portion of vegetables or salad

excessive exercise : one alkaline full bath

one piece of cake : one alkaline footbath + 1 tsp. AlkaLife or a similar product

Life is all about balance!
Tip for the daily diet

80% alkaline-generating foods

20% acid-generating foods and beverages

How can I cleanse myself successfully with as little effort as possible?

With the “triple jump to purification” for successful regeration: Purification means removing deposited impurities from the skin and mucous membranes, from the cells, tissues, glands, joints and organs of the body. In three steps, purification has the following significance for our metabolism:
impurity deposits are dissolved into their components
loosened acids and toxins are metabolised
elimination occurs through the intestine, kidneys and mucous membranes

By both internally and externally carefully preparing for the “triple jump to purification” you can avoid any possible initial signs of excessively straining the body and the familiar initial worsening or healing crises. Perhaps you have already had a similar experience during fasting or during a cleansing or purification regimen. The “triple jump to purification” must therefore be carefully planned in order to successfully loosen, metabolise and eliminate years of deposited impurities without discomfort. This sensible preparation is all the more necessary the more contaminated, built-up or sensitive the body is. The preparation consists of two important steps:

1. The body’s neutralizing and metabolizing potential is omni-molecularly optimised through a wholesome vegetarian diet and omni-molecular foods.

2. Alkaline body care allows many acids and toxins to be eliminated through the body’s fluids. This occurs with alkaline full baths and footbaths, with alkaline compresses, rinses, etc.

The chief commandment for purification is:

“The more acidic built up and sensitive the body is, the more careful you must prepare for the purification process!”

Who knows about the problem to get a refreshing and nurturing meal if we don’t have enough time to prepare it? How can we take care of our alkaline diet if we do have a time problem?

Who’s got kids and has real problems in feeding them healthy green stuff like veggies and green salats?

Well, we do but we know the answer to both problems:

Preparing a tasty and healthy juice!
The secret for tasty is putting some sweet fruits in it and the obvious for healthy is getting the greens in it so that our bodies get flooded with minerals, vitamins and all vital substances.

Especially kids do need all vital substances desperatly since most school cafeterias like to serve acidic foods like burgers, fries, pasta, pops, sweets and white flour products. And kids (at least ours) don’t really prefer eating green salat or veggies.

So here is our recipe ( and we are happy to find out about yours!)

GREEN Godess SMOOTHIE
4-5 leaves of dark greens, such as Kale, Collards, Romaine, or Spring Mix
2-3 pieces of fresh sweet fruit, such as banana, pear, apple, mango
2” piece of raw ginger
1/3 cucumber
1/3 Red Pepper
1 stalk Celery
1/8 (or less) Onion
(Any other raw veggie that strikes your fancy!)
1 Tablespoon of WurzelKraft, Dr. Jentschura dietary supplement made out of 100 plants
½ cup Organic Apple Cider (or other organic fruit juice)
Also please add some Stevia if like. Celery and onion have a strong taste so you also could take lots of green salad.
Fill the blender to the top with purified Water
Mix until smooth.
(This is a big smoothie for me and my 2 boys. If it’s too much for the size of your blender, scale it all down to where it fits.)

Enjoy your life!
