What's in your laxative? Seriously the ingredients include: plastic, anti-freeze and it's given not only for weeks at a time, but years. YEARS of ingesting plastic, daily is just unconscionable, but it happens more than we want to believe. It's estimated nearly 75% of pediatricians have recommended these drugs to their young patients. These laxatives are advertised as being "natural". It's not worth the risk. But we can help and there is not need to ingest chemicals to move your bowels comfortably. If you are a newborn or 99, we can help your bowels and digestive help and often, relatively quickly.
Here's an excerpt:
"Majority of US Pediatricians Have Recommended PEG Laxatives
If your child suffers from chronic constipation, there's a very good chance your pediatrician recommended Miralax (or a generic equivalent) as a safe solution. According to one study, 75 percent of pediatricians had used such laxatives to treat childhood constipation.1 One Beverly Hills, California pediatrician even told the New York Times:2
"'I've had kids on it daily for years" …For children with chronic constipation who are not being helped by dietary changes, "We literally give it like water."
Thousands of neurological reports after use
FDA Study Detected Antifreeze Chemicals in Laxatives
In 2008, the FDA tested eight batches of Miralax because "many of the reported adverse events were classic symptoms of ethylene glycol ingestion."4 Ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) are ingredients in antifreeze so, in other words, the government tested the laxative after receiving reports of children exhibiting symptoms of antifreeze poisoning following their use. "
Patients were reporting neurological disturbances including: tics, tremors and obsessive compulsive behaviors. This is unnecessary and unreasonable.
Chronic constipation is linked to an increase likelihood of colorectal cancer. If you know someone who struggles with constipation from birth to 99, we can get them moving smoothly and truly naturally with no harm to them, no adverse reactions and certainly, no plastic. Even out of state patients can call for an herbal medicine consultation at Eagle Acupuncture to move their bowels and improve their gut function.
Many points on the front of the body move bowels, reduce bloating, moisten bowels and reduce pain and cramping. For children under 12 we use a tickle machine that is needless, causes no harm and helps regulate digestion.
