Dr. John R. Christopher's Lower Bowel Formula

This is one of Dr. John R. Christopher’s most famous and popular formulas. To some this formula is known as an herbal laxative, however, to many herbalists it is much more than this. One of the most important and beneficial factors of this formula is how it stimulates peristaltic action within the lower bowel.

Directions: Take according to personal need.
As  no two people are alike in age, size, or physical construction and the bowel itself will differ in persons as much as the finger prints, most people will start with two capsules or 30 drops of the glycerine based extract three times a day, and then regulate the dosage from there.

Observe:
  • If the stool seems too loose then lower the dose, but if it is difficult to get a bowel movement and the stool is hard and takes a long time, then increase the dose until the movements become soft and well-formed.
  • In very difficult cases, one could take up to 40 of these capsules a day. After the hard material which is hard fecal matter that may have been stored on the intestinal wall for years has broken loose and is eliminated, one can gradually decrease but do not taper off the Lower Bowel Formula dosage so much that you lose this advantageous momentum and continuity of elimination. In most cases, improper diet has caused the peristaltic muscles to become sluggish, and in some cases, to quit working.

Timeline: It will take six to nine months with the aid of the Lower Bowel Formula for the average individual to clean out the fecal matter and to rebuild the bowel structure sufficiently to have the peristaltic muscles working entirely on their own.

Problem: Most people have pounds of old dried fecal matter that is stored in the colon, which is toxifying the system, and keeping the food from being properly assimilated. Because of this putrefied condition, many people consume far more food than the body actually requires.

 In the process they wear out their bodies trying to get sufficient nutrition and are still always hungry and eating.

Benefits: After the bowel is cleaned, the body is able to normally assimilate the nutrients through the cell structures in the colon instead of being trapped in a maze of waste.

Food is more readily assimilated, and a person can sustain himself on about one-third the quantity of his prior food consumption and have four or five times more power, vitality and life.

When the body is completely clean, these aids will no longer be necessary;
then your food will be your medicine and your medicine will be your food. After following this program properly and the bowels are cleansed, this formula should only be used when needed.

Capsule #1



Okay, so this morning I woke up with a heart rate (at resting) of 59 beats/minute.

Shortly after beginning my morning commute my heart rate was at an average of 74 beats/minute.

The time is now...09:45 and I have JUST TAKEN two of the LB (Lower Bowel Forumla) capsules.

So far so good.




Alongside this experiment I think it's important to remember the goals:

1) Learn to listen to my body better

2) Be active about my cleansing

3) LIVE as long as possible

...I know that last one is a bit pretentious...however I do believe we don't have to croak out at 55 or 62 or evern 47 like some of my predecessors.

If I can prevent my body from clogging up on junk and eliminate waste faster, BETTER, and more efficiently...then I'm all about it.



I will keep you posted and check my pulse again at regular intervals of 30 minutes after taking...and another 30 minutes after that for a total of 1 hour after taking to see if it is sped up or changed much.


Have a great day and be well.

Pre-poo post

Hello there, unsuspecting reader...

(that sounded so malicious, it was not malintended)

Welcome to the new poo-forum.

Tomorrow I will begin my very first ever lower bowel cleanse.

Photo of Dr. John R. Christopher himself, the jolly old man he was.  
I have been recommended by natural hygenists, and nutritional clinicians alike to begin first with the lower bowel, since that is the last place deigested food items go before they depart to the unknown waters below the bowl.

So here you have it:

Dr. John R. Christopher's LB Formula (lower bowel formula)

After some thorough research about this fantastic formula I decided to buy a small supply and take this as my first step. Starting at the beginning, and from the bottom up (literally...hehe)

The formula includes:

Lower Bowel Formula contains: Barberry Bark, Cascara Sagrada Bark, Cayenne, Ginger, Lobelia herb and or seeds, Red Raspberry Leaves, Turkey Rhubarb Root, Fennel, Golden Seal Root. All encapsulated products are in a pure 100% vegetable based capsule.

Extract: a base of Pure vegetable Glycerine, Distilled Water, & Ethyl Alcohol (less than 5%).


I have ordered the capsules and will take them 2-3x/daily with meals, taking 2 capsules at each meal.

Of the following I have (see those underlined):

Ailments historically treated: Acne, Appendicitis, Bad Breath (Halitosis), Blood Sugar (Diabetes), Blood Sugar (Low/Hypoglycemia), Constipation, Worms, Triglycerides (High).

I do NOT know if I have worms in my stomach (apparently many of us do) but I imagine they will be rid by the end of this cleanse.

Worries: I will be pooping beyond control after taking these supplements.

Hopes: I will "feel lighter" if you know what I mean, and also develop a very regular bowel movements schedule, clean out my colon without invasive techniques and feel/look younger.

SO...there we have it. Today is my last day of ... of ... hmm...

I guess I won't be doing much of anything different except adding these capsules to my meals. We shall see, shant we?

Tomorrow will be my first day of lower bowel cleansing! HORRAY!

Have any of YOU ever done a cleanse like this before????? Comment below!
