Helping to Prevent Hemorrhoids (www.Mercola.com)

a glass or two of grape juice a day works

Overeating wheat Breads, and straining at the toilet will give you Hemorrhoids.
More fruits, and fresh greens will prevent hemorrhoids.

I personally believe we are designed to eat only fruits and vegetables and that each F & V contains the necessary fiber required to pass it through our digestive system, just as it has the needed enzymes (when not cooked) to predigest itself to save our body the extra work and wasting our digestive enzymes. Meat and dairy does not contain fiber and therefore remains longer in the colon and ferments or putrefies. All our food should contain its own fiber.

Eskimos seem to do well.

yes the potassium in the bannana helps

Not the Eskimos I’ve read about. Toothless by their 30’s and ridden with arthritis by their 50’s. These are, of course, those that live away from the city, survive on raw animal fats and proteins, which are very acidic to the body, which explains losing teeth and bone density. Yet they won’t be at a high risk of heart disease or be overweight. Easily explainable as well, but not enough time or room.

I’ve been noticing a tendency within my own experience where spicy foods lead to hemorrhoids. Perhaps I already have hemorrhoids but the irritation from spicy compounds cause the veins to further inflame? I don’t know, but eliminating on the toilet is always much more comfortable after not having eaten anything spicy in my own experience.

I agree with you. However, the current food system is so DIRTY due to pesticides and all kinds of other stuff. You might be poisoning yourself if you eat nothing but raw vegetables and fruit. I guess if you eat ALL organic stuff, you might be fine. However, I don’t have the money to eat all organic. I wish I did. And I wish I would have the will power to not eat all this junk that the media and corporations push on you.

Rectum? Oh no, it killed ‘em.

hahaha, i recognize that, where is it from again?

Heh, heh, it’s from an old “Little Johhny” joke about his brother getting shot “in the ass.” His teacher corrects him and tells him to say “rectum” instead of the bad word. You know the rest.

Seriously though, this is great advice from Dr. M. if you don’t take care of your anus the results can be heinous.

I was going to say, vitamin D cured my hemorrhoids.

I heard from a dental assistant who serves Eskimos every year that the problem is the introduction of Coca-Cola and sweets to the local stores, but no toothpaste. . . . There’s more explanation as well . . . The first generation that leaves a raw diet has the most severe changes in their teeth. For white folk like me . . . we’re used to coping with cooked/processed/sugary food so it takes more to ruin our teeth, etc.

how ismercola so serious about all this stuff, most of it is just common sense which I guess lots of peole are lacking

buy the book “backyard homestead”… it cured my apathy and broke down all my ideas about not being able to afford my own health… the soil nearest you is waiting for you to plant food in it!!!!!

pumpkin is one of the best for treatment of hemorrhoids… every night before going to bed eat some cooked pumpkin, add pumpkin to your diet…you see how wonderful it works, it is because of the minerals it has…zinc and boron,,,a
