Hi Fen,

The gist of it is to eliminate fiber from the diet, fiber being the culprit of many medical issues.
Here are a couple of excerpts:

RESTORING NATURAL BOWEL MOVEMENTS

by Konstantin Monastyrsky

Dietary fiber, eight glasses of water, and a low-fat diet — the sacred cows of American nutritional dogma — break natural bowel movements, and cause hard stools, irregularity, constipation, or constipation-predominant IBS. When patients seek medical help, they are routinely recommended to add more fiber, drink more water, and reduce fat even further. This misguided and harmful advice guarantees chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, and diverticulosis to virtually anyone, and it is behind the epidemics of inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer. This guide condemns this pig-headed practice and teaches you how to restore natural bowel movements without resorting to fiber and laxatives.

Myth #11: Fiber is safe and effective for the treatment and prevention of diarrhea.

Reality: Actually, it's the complete opposite—fiber, particularly soluble, is the most common cause of diarrhea in children and adults. That's why it's recommended as a laxative to begin with. The idea of fiber as a preventive treatment for diarrhea is one of the most preposterous and harmful fiber-related frauds.


Author's note:

As you can see, it isn't me who has gone postal over fiber. I am just a messenger—and a darn lucky one, because my diet is mercifully fiber-free, and fiber no longer wrecks my health.

Of course, he has a link to his "store".

He is also very much against colonoscopies. Well, if a friend of mine had had a colonoscopy when she first had symptoms she would be alive today.

I've also read that some countries eat WAY more fiber than us westerners and Don't have the digestive issues we have!!!

If you have a chance, check it out and I'd love to know your thoughts on this.

Thanks.
Sharon
