Weak grandmother’s drug complex causes chronic constipation
I just did a quick study of the combination of drugs my grandmother is taking: Isordil, Plendil, Sinemet, Fosamax, Dolacet and Glucosamine. Â What they all have in common is tons of side effects. Â The usual side effects and the dangerous side effects.
The most common side effect is constipation… constipation… and more constipation… and this has been my grandmother’s complaint for several years now.  I would like to initially conclude that this chronic constipation is the cause of her weakness.  A constant poisoning of her system.
Imagine not being able to poop for 4 straight days.  Imagine sitting down and not able to poop because “it” is stuck.  Imagine all those drugs mixed in everyday and you add Dulcolax to attempt to unload everything.  And when Dulcolax fails, the heavy artillery comes in, Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea.  Yep, when all drugs fail, it is Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea to the rescue.
This past week, the drugs have been stopped and instead of ultra powerful Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea, we are using Barefoot Herbalist MH’s Lower Bowel Balance capsules or LBB for short.  LBBs are more gentle and the dose easier to control.  We initially tried 10 capsules.  Very good.  We took it down to 6 capsules.
Part of the cure for my grandmother’s chronic constipation is the cure for her dehydration with exclusive drinking of coconut juice and eating coconut meat in place of water.  This should give her superior hydration and give her the coconut fats she sorely needs.  The experts say coconut meat is saturated fat.  I say it is coconut fat.
So it has been a week of happy pooping.  And I hope the coconut juice is enough to clean her kidneys as well.  Maybe.
I will discuss my grandmother’s self drugging complex side effects and all the harm it has caused her.  I point the blame squarely at all those idiot drug combinations she has been taking.  My aunt had been pointing at those drug complex as the cause as well.  But my grandmother wouldn’t listen to my aunt.  She’s off the drugs for a week now.  Let’s keep it that way.
Un-constipating my grandmother is the very first step on her way to recovery.
