Possible causes

• Poisoning: Spoiled or contaminated food, side effect of medication, especially antibiotics and psychopharmaceuticals as well as poisoning with the artificial sweetener, aspartame, etc.

Diarrhea function = elimination of toxin.

• Incorrect diet: Ingesting the wrong combination of foods can promote diarrhea (e.g.: fruit – sugar – grain).
• General sympatheticotonia and anticipatory anxiety: = stress diarrhea (CM: diarrhea-dominant irritable bowel). This affects approximately one in five people worldwide. In anticipation of stress (= sympatheticotonia), the involuntary sphincter muscles of the body open: anal and bladder sphincter for “ballast-shedding,“ gastric sphincter for a speedy passage, pupillary sphincter for easier viewing, etc.
  Gaunt, thin, emaciated people are predominantly sympathicotonic, i.e., they are predominantly under stress.

Peace and serenity are missing, little fat can accumulate = athletic or leptosomic people according to Kretschmer. These individuals tend to be “crapping their pants“ at every opportunity. > Loose stools, diarrhea.

A 16-year-old student is an amateur ski racer. On the day of the competition, specifically immediately before the start, he must go to the toilet constantly due to the diarrhea. = General sympatheticotonia, anticipatory anxiety. Later in life, he suffers from diarrhea before important appointments as well. (Archive B. Eybl).

The opposite is the comfortable endomorph (vagotonic), who is a good eater with tendency toward constipation.

• Intestinal muscles: If an indigestible-anger chunk gets lodged in the intestines, two SBSs are usually triggered: An SBS of secretory quality (cauliflower-like tumor), so as to dissolve the chunk with gastric juices and one of motor quality (peristalsis), so as to expel it (conflict of not being able to dislodge something or move it forward).

Diarrhea in the repair phase crisis during the repair phase or in persistent repair, e.g., Crohn‘s disease, colitis, ulcerative colitis. (See: p.243.)

• Liver – gallbladder: Recurring territorial-anger conflict. This type of diarrhea accompanies fat intolerance.

Endodermal liver parenchyma or the ectodermal gallbladder ducts can be affected. Due to a shortage of bile, fat cannot be digested > pulpy, fatty stools that float in the toilet.

Territorial-anger or identity conflict – starvation or existence conflict. (See: p.265)

• Pancreas (rarer): Recurring-conflict. After many bouts of pancreatitis, the glands that produce pancreatic juices deteriorate. Enzymes for the digestion of proteins, fats and starches are then lacking > pulpy, bright, malodorous stools that float. Conflict: trouble with family members, the battle for the chunk, inheritance conflicts. (See: p.274.)
• Thyroid (rarer): the thyroid hormone thyroxin makes the body sympathicotonic. It increases metabolism and promotes the emptying of the bowels. Diarrhea in the conflict-active phase.

Conflict: not being able to grasp or get rid of something, because one is too slow. (See: p.145).

Therapy for diarrhea

Depending on the cause:

• Centering exercises such as tai chi or strength training.
• Foods: blueberries, barley, oats, honey.
• Tea: elecampane, blackberry (dried fruits leaves), oak bark, chamomile, bistort, plantain.
• Zeolite powder internally.
• Possibly Tannalbin tablets.

Every digestive process results in the production of intestinal gas. However, most of it diffuses into the circulatory system and is expelled through the lungs.

Flatulence denotes an excess of intestinal gas exceeding 0.5 to 1.5 liters per day.

Possible causes

• Improper nutrition: A high percentage of high-fiber foods or an unfavorable combination of foods (e.g., fruit – sugar – grain) can promote flatulence. Legumes (with the sugar molecules rhamnose and stachyose) cause a definite rise in gas production.
• Poisoning due to antibiotics and other chemo-therapeutics: damage of the intestinal flora > incomplete digestion > fermentation > flatulence.
• General sympathicotonia: Gas in combination with diarrhea: signs of a general sympathicotonia (see: p.13). The passage of food is accelerated > incomplete digestion, incomplete air resorption.
• Impaired functioning of the small intestine or colon: Not enough air-resorption due to degeneration of the intestinal mucosa (low resorption capacity). According to Dr. Hamer, intestinal gases help to expand the intestine so that a lodged chunk can be moved onward. Histamine or lactose intolerance can cause strong flatulence, sometimes together with diarrhea. = Indigestible-anger (see pp 239).
• Pancreas or liver: Too little pancreatic juices or bile > incomplete digestion > fermentation > flatulence = anger conflict with family members, the battle for the chunk, inheritance or starvation-existence and territorial-anger or identity conflict respectively.

Three hypotheses

• People who feel they are not being adequately noticed/recognized. Biological meaning: Expression of one’s own presence with an odor mark. I.e., a preliminary stage of feces marking.

• People who keep “inflating” old problems without thinking of solutions. (Ideally, the digestion only deals with only one morsel at a time for a while). Biological meaning: Nature reminds the individual that “inflating” the past only results in a bloated belly and “bad air.”

• If someone says too many unimportant things instead of meaningful things, the body reflects this by producing excessive “air.”

Therapy for flatulence

Depending on the cause (e.g., diet change).

• Movement/gymnastics.
• Deep breathing, so that the gases can be released.
• Hot, full baths, possibly with whole salt or magnesium chloride.
• Tea: anise, fennel, melissa, parsley, linden blossoms.
• Hildegard of Bingen: bay leaf cookie powder special recipe.
• Build-up of symbionts with OMNi-BiOTiC®.
• Symbioflor 2, EM.
• Swallow 1 tsp. whole mustard seeds with water regiment..
• Zeolite powder internally.

Possible causes

• Poisoning with medication: Misuse of laxatives, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, antacids, iron preparations, diuretics, blood pressure medication, anti-Parkinson‘s disease medication, antiepileptic drugs, medications for bladder incontinence and morphine (paralyzes the colon due to a permanent contraction of the longitudinal muscles in the intestines).
• Diets that are low in fiber, low in vital substances (cheap, industrial foods).
• Active kidney collecting tubules: Water is collected for when one is on the run (i.e., on a trip) or feels abandoned, so that a shortage of fluids can be survived. The colon thoroughly removes water from the food pulp or feces > hard stool, tendency to constipation. = Refugee and abandonment conflict (see p. 277)
• Too little exercise: A well-functioning intestinal peristaltic is dependent on sufficient exercise. This is not just based on the mechanism of the colon itself; rather, it is linked to the 11th brain nerve (nervus accessorius). Lack of exercise > neglected breathing > under-functioning of the diaphragm (as a muscle aiding digestion).
• General vagotonia: During general parasympatheticotonia, it is common for all of the sphincter muscles of the body, including that of the anus, to be closed tight (see: p.13). Feces is only reluctantly released. People who are primarily vagotonic tend to be constipated. These corpulent, rotund, comfortable endomorphs (according to Kretschmer) are excellent eaters. Food (like life) is enjoyed and digested at leisure. Therapy: look for challenges.
• Intestinal musculature: Constipation in the conflict-active stage (see: p.243):

  1. Nothing can help (moving forward) (stagnation).

  2. Something is not yet finished, something takes forever and is waiting to be finished.

  3. The fear of leaving the old (e.g., traditions, values, home) behind.

  Often in combination with indigestible-anger.

• Thyroid: persistent repair, condition following persistent repair. Too little of the thyroid hormone thyroxin results in a lack of drive and slow metabolism > sluggish colon = conflict of not being able to grasp or expel something because of being too slow. (See: p.147.)
• Parathyroid gland: Conflict–active phase of a persistent conflict. An overly high parathyroid hormone level can cause constipation. (See: p.149.)
• Ileus (blockage) by a tumor or twisted intestine (volvulus). Conflict–active phase or repair phase. Acute constipation, possibly with pain, vomiting of feces = indigestible-anger conflict (see p. 245).

1. Nothing can help (moving forward) (stagnation).

2. Something is not yet finished, something takes forever and is waiting to be finished.

3. The fear of leaving the old (e.g., traditions, values, home) behind.

Often in combination with indigestible-anger.

Therapy for constipation

Depending on the cause:

• Physical exercise/sport in order to stimulate the colon. Especially effective: endurance running and after that, gymnastics.
• Making a sharp distinction between resting and active-phases, so that both sympathicus and vagus come to fruition. For example, first exercise and then be really lazy.
• Squatting position while using the toilet: When you squat, the sphincter muscles relax and the rectum comes into a straight position > Feces can be deposited without effort and pressing. > Get a toilet footstool.
• Regular massage of the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscle. These two muscles are innervated by the 11th brain nerve and correspond directly to the intestinal muscles.
• In the morning, drink lots of pure water.
• Foods: raw fruits and vegetables, flaxseed, dried fruits, figs, apples, garlic, onions, raw sauerkraut, raw red beets, lettuce.
• Breathing exercises.
• Tea: agrimony, centaury, vermouth, absinthe, common polypody, St. John‘s wort.
• Improve the intestinal flora: Symbioflor 2, EM (see p. 66).
• Enemas/colon cleansing therapy for purging and colon reboot. Such treatments should not activate/trigger conflict, otherwise, don‘t do them! Be cautious, especially with children (invasion of privacy can cause conflicts).

• For acute inflammation: colloidal silver, MMS (see p. 68).
• Do not take unnecessary medications.
• Tea: centaury, agrimony, fennel, peppermint, yarrow, and others.
• Chew food thoroughly – enjoy your food!
• For symbionts: EM (p. 66, Symbioflor 2, kombucha, yogurt.
• Cayce: Eat an almond every day, colon cleansing (water colon cleansing), and enemas for detoxification.
• Hildegard of Bingen: Season with fennel seeds, peppermint. Gentian-powder wine special recipe, absinthe elixir special recipe, sanicle (Sanicula europaea) powder- or elixir special recipe.
• Castor oil compress treatments.
• Warm abdominal compresses with salt water.
• Fasting – the oldest therapy for digestive disturbances. When fasting, we should follow our instincts and feelings, like when animals refuse to eat. Fasting under pressure or coercion triggers new conflicts and new illnesses.
• Willfort: Three-week health cure of drinking 0.5-1 l (16-32 oz) of freshly–squeezed white cabbage juice, distributed throughout the day.
• Zeolite powder, natural borax, internally.
• Treatment: Swallow mustard seed without chewing + medicinal clay + water. Linseed oil.
• Squatting position on the toilet: When squatting, the sphincter muscles relax and the rectum assumes a straightened position > Feces can be released without effort and pressing. > Use a footstool to elevate feet/legs.
