Exhaustion and Constipation

I believe the first signs of disease are chronic exhaustion and constipation, so let’s consider these together because usually, where there’s one, the other is, also.

These first two stages of disease are so common that most people accept them as normal. But don’t allow a comfortable environment for them to settle. The more comfortable they are, the more difficult it is to get rid of them, and the more “normal” you will think they are.

There is a difference between feeling exhausted and being tired. If you work hard, and you’re tired at the end of the day, that’s one thing; that’s normal. However, if you’re not using much energy during the day and you still feel tired, that’s exhaustion. When you wake up, you should be energized and feel excited about life. If you don’t, chances are it’s because disease is building in your body.

If you feel exhausted and fatigued all the time, if you never feel like doing anything, your energy, and the energy your body needs to operate efficiently, is being depleted. As a result, nerve energy can no longer freely move through the body, resulting in a condition I call “nervous exhaustion.” When this happens, toxins get deposited in the body. There’s no secret as to why we might be tired all the time: It is caused by overeating, stress, and a lack of water, proper nutrition, and sleep.
Most fatigued people are constipated, although they will deny it. I don’t listen to them, because I don’t listen to anyone who is full of something, if you get my drift. In fact, I actually met someone who was so tired and exhausted, he was completely content to be constipated because he didn’t have to get up and go to the bathroom. I wish I was just joking about that, but someone really told me that once.

Surprisingly, that person is not alone in his thinking. Many people in the civilized world are constipated, walking around with five to 10 pounds of fecal waste in their intestines. The average person has a bowel movement once every other day and thinks it’s normal, but just because it’s normal for him doesn’t mean it’s healthy or that it’s optimal. I know someone who has only two bowel movements a week and considers that healthy because it’s normal for him. Unfortunately, even children in our country are now becoming exhausted and constipated.
When you are constipated, or not having enough bowel movements each day, toxins begin to accumulate in the blood, tissues, lymphatic system, interstitial fluids, and cells. These toxins impair the functions of your organs and tissues. This state is referred to as toxemia, and it is caused by a combination of fatigue, overeating–especially overeating the wrong types of foods–and negative thoughts. The cure is to clean up your diet, and clear up your mind.

Don’t let negativity take control. Fatigue and constipation are the beginnings of more serious conditions, and they can’t be ignored or just brushed off as minor inconveniences. They have to be cured if we want to overcome or avoid the more advanced, serious stages of disease.

All the long-time health enthusiasts I have interviewed and whose writings I’ve studied believe that the secret to health is moderate eating habits and occasional abstinence. I suggest fasting one day a week by consuming only water or green vegetable juices. Almost everyone I know who has tried it has benefited from this, because it reduces obstruction and restores your energy.
