"Wipe with premoistened wipes instead of toilet paper during flare-ups. 4 Apply petroleum jelly, zinc oxide paste or cold compresses to the perineum region. • Weight Training to the Rescue X^obably more useful for prevention than for treatment, weight training nonetheless can help reduce recurrences of painful hemorrhoids. Research from the University of Maryland has shown that long-term weight training not only increases the strength of the arm, leg and shoulder muscles, ^ but of the digestive tract, as well.

"On the other hand, if you see bright red streaks or spots on your stool— medically known as hematochezia—or on your toilet paper or in the toilet bowl, it can be a tip-off that you have bleeding hemorrhoids or anal fissures (tears) or other rectal or anal injuries. These injuries can result from childbirth, constipation, anal intercourse, or the insertion of objects into the rectum. In addition to being a sign of hemorrhoids and fissures, red stools can signal problems along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"You need to keep toilet paper in the house and take out the trash. They require some skill, but, more than that, they require discipline. When these things are not attended to, chaos reigns and you might feel scattered and incompetent. You feel like a fraud and end up hoping that someone will rescue you. If you can't manage your day-to-day life, it makes it a whole lot harder to entertain the idea of going after dreams and goals." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Probiotics for Treatment and Prevention of Traveler's Diarrhea No one likes to travel with a roll of toilet paper in their purse. However, it is true: travelers commonly suffer from acute diarrhea. Medical professionals would say, "Ingestion of foreign bacteria and viruses can cause acute diarrhea." What they mean is that if you eat a bad microbe on your travels that your body has not seen before, you're less able to fight it off and can end up with diarrhea." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Plug the colon and it's like flushing a toilet plugged with toilet paper; everything backs up. The net result is sickness and disease. The important point to remember here is that you can't even begin to cleanse and repair the other systems in the body until you clean out the colon so that the toxic material will have a clean path out of the body. 3. Physically, the colon is not designed to store large amounts of old fecal matter. There just isn't room for it. If you have 10, 20, 30 pounds of extra garbage in there, there's only one thing that can happen; the colon must distend and expand." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Dean needs some toilet paper!" he shouted clearly. A minute later Leo's Uwage wife, a tall, thin woman named Lilien, came out of the hut carrying an old roll of toilet paper (probably left by the missionary, may he wipe in peace). She carried it before her like a treasured relic and placed it on the table before me. She smiled. "Uh, thanks. I'll just be a minute," I muttered. "Hey, brata, we'll be watching!" laughed David. I walked into the enclosure, painfully aware that all eyes were on me and that several small children were walking in with me to stand and stare." - Dean Cycon, Javatrekker: Dispatches From the World of Fair Trade Coffee (Get the book.)

"Sometimes artificial scents in soaps, bubble bath and even toilet paper can cause allergic reactions. • If you tend to enjoy coffee, chocolate or tomatoes, these may be a trigger for rectal itching. Eliminate them one at a time and keep track of your itching. To determine if you have food allergies go to Chapter Three for extensive information on how to detect hidden allergies. TOPICAL TREATMENTS FOR RECTAL ITCHING Aloe Vera Gel Aloe vera is a cactus that makes an incredible healing gel within its leaves. One can drink it or apply directly to irritated skin." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.) "Using strong soaps, scented products and harsh toilet paper may all strip the natural oils from the skin of the rectal area. This leaves one open to irritation from stools or urination. Infection and allergic reactions can sometimes affect the rectal area. Infections would include pinworms, Candida, scabies or genital warts. Treatment for rectal itching depends on the cause. Some people who have hemorrhoids have rectal itching. See the Hemorrhoid section for the proper treatment. Try to eliminate as many possible irritants." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"In addition, toilet paper is frequently packaged in plastic. SPECIAL TIPS Use cotton handkerchiefs in place of facial tissues. At the Store/By Mail At the very least, toilet papet should be undyed and unscented, and preferably packed in paper. There is only one brand of consumer-quality toilet paper packaged in paper sold in supermarkets, but if you go to a cash-and-carry stote or janitorial supply house you should be able to buy a cardboard case of toilet paper, with each roll individually wrapped in paper. The next step would be to buy toilet paper made from recycled paper." - Debra Lynn Dadd, Nontoxic, Natural and Earthwise (Get the book.)

"Because of the intense, continuous straining and rock-hard consistency of the bowel movement, the child often bleeds bright red blood into the toilet bowl and onto the toilet paper. The parents worry that something is not right, while the child, who knows something is not right, becomes embarrassed and ashamed that his or her bowel habits have become the focus of attention." - John A. McDougall, Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up (Get the book.)

"In each case, a switch to unscented, white toilet paper solved the problem. The production of toilet paper and facial tissues also poses environmental problems. The pulp to make these products comes from clear-cut fotests; the dioxins produced in the bleaching processs escape into the air and are dumped into local waterways.

"Buy a generic brand and saturate some toilet paper. Gently wiping or patting it on the hemorrhoid is all you need to do. Some people insist that Vicks VapoRub can relieve the discomfort of hemorrhoids, but we generally advise against this application. Another option is warm rutabaga. A reader suggested this root vegetable could do wonders for hemorrhoids. Peel and boil a rutabaga, then drain the fiber well to make a poultice. Spread it on gauze and put it on the hemorrhoids while the rutabaga mush is still warm. She learned this approach from her Scottish mother. Olive oil is another option." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"We know this happens, because if it didn't then people wouldn't need to use toilet paper after evacuation. This continual accumulation of sticky waste over many years, even a lifetime, can lead to several pounds of old fecal material residing in the colon alone. You might well be wondering why, if this is so prevalent, don't more people know about this condition? And why doesn't medicine address this problem as well? Many holistic health practitioners believe that well over 90 percent of all conditions start in the colon and spread throughout the rest of the body." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"They sell everything from dog food to toilet paper (recycled, of course). The success of these natural food stores has forced other supermarkets to meet consumers' demands for more healthful products. Also, increased sales volume has brought down the cost of healthful foods in both traditional supermarkets and natural food markets. Reading labels is the key to effective food shopping. Ingredients are supposed to be listed in descending order of amounts contained in the package. However, these labels can be deceptive." - John A. McDougall, Dr. McDougall's Digestive Tune-Up (Get the book.)

"There may also be bright red blood on the toilet paper, the stool, or in the toilet bowl. Medical treatments Over the counter products used to treat hemorrhoids include the use of rectal suppositories (Anusol), stool softeners (Colace, Surfak), topical preparations (Anusol, Preparation H), and medicated wipes (Tucks). Prescription medications are available as creams, ointments, and suppositories. The hydrocortisone (Anusol-HC, Proctocort) contained in these products reduces inflammation, itching, and swelling." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

Long ago they lowered insane persons into snake pits; they thought that an experience that might drive a sane person out of his wits might send an insane person back into sani- Two years later, The Snake Pit was made into an award-winning movie starring Olivia de Havilland, one of Hollywood's most popular actresses." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"Paper Products: Besides the wastefulness and disposability of toilet paper, napkins, and paper towels, there are broader environmental implications associated with these products. Most are bleached with chlorine, which is an irritant to the skin and respiratory system. Discharged byproducts from paper mills contain dioxins, which don't easily biodegrade and eventually build up in our air, water, and soil." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Kanarek, who credits a festive party atmosphere—not sugar—with revving up kids and making them trash toys or wrap a room with toilet paper. Of course, you, as a parent, know better. So do your kids' physicians. And so do many experts. "Talk to any mother who's given her kid sugar or food coloring and noticed hyperactivity," observes pediatric allergist Doris Rapp, M.D., who simply can't fathom why the medical community is so reluctant to accept the idea that sweets could make sweet kids outrageously rambunctious, contrary, and rowdy. celebrity fights sugar shdck!

Q See also under pregnancy-related problems in Part Two. HEPATITIS Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, usually caused by a viral infection.
