“Constipation”
By Dr. Ronnie Davis, N.D. D.O.
Phd. (Board certified naturopath)
American Naturopath Medical
‘'Association.
Greetings Register Readers:
Today, ’l would like to talk
personally to you for a few
minutes if you have the time and
want to |$am how you can help
yourself and your family beat
constipation. Weil, you may
presently have to strain to have
your bowel movements and
sometimes you even hurt your
rectum because your stool is so
hard. Think of the times when you
go one, two, three days or even
longer without a bowel movement
This is not good for your health
and I am willing and able to
educate you now as to how you
can have natural bowel movements
daily Constipation results when
waste material moves too slowly
through the large bowel, resulting
in infrequent and or painful
elimination.
Constipation can give rise to
many different ailments, including
appendicitis, bad breath, body
odor, coated tongue, depression,
diverticulitis, fatigue, gas,
headaches, hemorrhoids
hernia and indigestions, insomnia,
malabserption syndrome, obesity
and varicose veins. It may even be
involved in the development of
serious disease such as bowel
cancer! It is important that you
move your bowels on a daily basis.
Please note that your colon is a
holding tank for waste matter that
should be removed within eighteen
to twenty four hours.
Harmful toxins can and often do
form after this period. Antigens
and toxins from bowel bacteria
and indigested food particles may
play a role in the development of
diabetes mell itus, meningitis,
thyroid disease, candidias is,
chronic gas and bloating,
migraines; fatigues and ullerative
colitis. In most cases, constipation
arises from insufficient amounts of
fiber and fluids.
For a consultation with Dr.
Davis, call (210) 299-4262 or
(210) 628-5404 today. Remember,
your good health is our business!
Until next week, take care and
God bless.

HOPE, ACTION & CARE ,

Today I would like to talk about
the need for CPR
Cardiopulmonary resusci
(CPR) combines rescue for
breathing and external chest
compressions. Cardio refers to the
heart and pulmonary refers to the
lungs. Proper and prompt CPR
serves as a holding action until
advanced cardiac life support can
be provided
Heart disease causes more than
half the deaths in North America.
About two-thirds of these deaths
are from heart attacks, and more
than half of these were dead on
Arrival at a hospital. It is possible
that a, large number of these deaths
could be prevented by pronpfT'
action to provide rapid entry into
the EMS system, prompt CPR, and
early defibrillation. CPR can save
heart attack victims, and it can also
save lives in cases of drowning, ,
suffocation., electrocution, and
drug overdose. Use CPR anytime
a victim’s breathing and heart have
stopped.
Most people suffering a fatal
heart attack die within two hours
of the first signs and symptoms of
the attack.
CPR should be started within die
first four minutes of heart r;v
stoppage, and they receive
advanced cardiac life support
within the next four minutes.
Brain damage begins after four
to six minutes and is certain after
ten minutes when no CPR is given
Succesful CPR refers to correct
CPR performance, not victim
survival. Even with succesful
CPR, most victims will not survive
unless they receive advanced i
cardiac life support or the GRACE
of GOD. CPR serves as a holding
action until such medical care can
be provided.
Check CPR’s effectiveness by:
Watching chest rise and fall with
each rescue breath, checking pulse
after first minute of CPR and every
few minutes afterward to
determine if a pulse has returned.
There are CPR Classis being
held at our American Red Cross
building on East Houston. You
can call or stop by and visit the
facility to find out when the next
CPR elass will be held. It can be

SUBSTANCE ABUSE BRIEFS
Underage College Students
Less Likely to Drink Than
Students of Legal Drinking
Age, Yet More Likely to Binge
Drink
Sixty-three percent of college
students under age 21 reported drinking
alcohol in the past 30 days, compared to 74
percent of students ages 21-23, according
to a survey of students attending four-year
type of tobacco ift the morlth prior to the
survey! Among both middle and high
school students, cigarettes were the most
prevalent type of tobacco used, followed by
cigars and smokeless tobacco. The survey,
which is thje > first to measure current
tobacco use among a national sample of
middle school students, found that use of
novel tobacco products such as bidis and
kreieks is an emerging public health
problem. The use of bidis (small browii

consumption of five or more alcoholic
drinks in a sitting. Moreover, athletic team
leaders were just as likely as other team
members to binge drink . Similar relation-
ships were found for the number of drinks
consumed per week and experiencing ~
negative consequences of alcohol or other
drug use. The authors suggest that "college
healthcare providers and educators need to
pay more attention to the alcohol use habits ,
of student-athletes.*1 |§f

that of smokeless tobacco. Bidis and
kreteks, which are inexpensive and trendy,
are often assumed to be safer than regular
cigarettes. Like all [ tobacco products,

colleges across the United States.
However, underage drinkers were more
likely to report consuming five or more
t drjnks per occasion (42 percent vs. 27
percent). Perhaps as a result of their heavy
drinking, younger students were also more
;likely to experience alcohol-related

for prevention efforts to focus on educating
- College students, particularly those under
ag. 21, about the daflgera of binge drinking
