Part 1 of this series discussed the issue of autointoxication. Autointoxication refers to toxins that are reabsorbed when feces is not expelled through normal bowel movements and when constipation is a problem. When those toxins are reabsorbed, undesirable behaviors like aggression and irritability can occur along with the constipation.

Toxins from yeast and bacteria overgrowth can also be directly absorbed from the digestive tract. This is a very common thing that I see in my practice time and time again. When a child is constipated, that can lead to lack of eye contact, behavioral problems and even lack of speech in some children. So if improvements in therapies, and this can be therapies other than the biomedical ones, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, etc. wane and you start to see regression, there could be an underlying constipation issue at play and they are not having regular bowel movements like they should.

To avoid constipation, your child should ideally be having a bowel movement once a day at the minimum or even twice a day. I also have heard many parents say that their child does have a bowel movement everyday but you need to be aware of the size of the bowel movement. Even if the bowel movement is fairly large, the child could have much more stool in their digestive tract that is not being passed, leading to this problem with constipation. Or if their stool is very dry, like small little pellets, that is also a sign of constipation issues and so assessment of the digestive tract is very important.

However, asthma symptoms in older people can be quite hard to detect. This is because as most adults tend to develop a good number of other ailments, the common symptoms, like shortness of breath and chest pains, can easily just be attributed to another disease. Also, the lack of knowledge of some that asthma can be developed at any age also makes quick diagnosis of adult asthma barely possible.

Have you ever considered joining an arthritis support group? There are many benefits to be part of the group. But what is a support group? Support groups are as individual as the people who join them. Some groups are very organized, focusing on education, but others promote emotional support and the sharing of experiences. Some arthritis support groups might be designed for those who have a particular kind of arthritis such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, but other groups are all-inclusive. You can choose either one of them, depending on your needs.

Who usually can be the leader for the support groups? That may be either a medical professional such as a doctor, nurse, or social worker or a member of the group. Self-help or peer groups are those groups run by their members.
