Constipation and Colon cancer

When i went back to Jakarta last holiday Hari Raya, my sister share with me how many of her friends who suffer from constipation..so bad that they have to take 20 dieuretic pill everyday to go to toilet. She also mention which one of her colleague who pass away because of Colon cancer.
She ask me whether i know any herbs or doctor who can help to cure this problem (naturally if possible) or to prevent the constipation to Cancer someday.

Then i remember my own constipation problem last time. i need to take fiber each day just so that i can go to toilet. And fruits intake that i have perhaps already around 6-8 serving each day..and i still get this constipation problem.

i went to Naturopath to do some test. It's pretty expensive test cost me around $250. The result come out is my body is healthy all over, except my digestion system has too many bad bacteria and too low good bacteria for digestion. I am not sure what is the cause. It could be due to antibiotic that i took last time during my skin treatment. As you all know antibiotic although is very useful for some very severe condition, but please never never use any other than surgery/when it's really needed. The damage done to our body is much more than you could think of. Not only it makes our immune system lower, but the antibiotic has kill all bacteria in our body..including the good bacteria in our digestion system that we need.

The naturopath prescribe me with a herbs that can help to cure the digestion system. He didn't recommend taking fiber. Because fiber is just another cleanser, but if taking too much, it will be harden inside. And I have taken fiber for years before, i know it can help me to go to toilet..but it doesn't cure the root problem. So if I stop taking the fiber..then i can't go to toilet again.

This herbs that he gave me is really really bitter, from India. It called Tri-cleanse with Triphala. He said jokingly..if there is any illness that can not be diagnosed, just use Triphala..it will definitely help. I can imagine though. a lot of disease come from digestion system that is not cleansed. So the toxin is accumulated inside and turn into different illnesses.

Now after taking Triphala for 2 months (regularly 6 times a week), my constipation problem has been cured. I no longer need to take the herbs anymore. But i tried to still eat as many fruits as I could. In the morning, I will take Oat or wholemeal bread. Then at night, i change my white rice into brown rice. It really helps my constipation now.

the naturopath told me the difference between this herbs and fiber is, the herbs actually contain certain ingredient that help you go to toilet (like fiber) but at the sametime it cure the problem in our gut system (digestion). That's why we will not depend on it and after sometime, it will be cured. Now i have used this herbs for half year..i can say that what he said is really true. For me, i still have the herbs, but i only take it once a month. Just slowly stopping it and i can still go toilet daily..once or twice even. Last time, I can only clear my bowel once a week. And that's really painful. I am glad that i found out about this earlier.

and I do hope all my sister's friends in Jakarta will be able to cure their constipation without have to suffer from colon cancer someday. To see the food in Jakarta I can understand why they develop such a cancer. It's fried food everywhere and we can hardly find vegetables in the food court. Perhaps what most important is try to avoid antibiotic as much as possible, and eat more fiber food like oat, wholemeal bread, brownrice, fruits, vegies, etc.
