I know a lot of you probably have seen this article, or at least have understood the concepts of it from others, but I think that some of this is so frequently overlooked - that it should stick out for those who underestimate it. It is incredibly important in this day and age to detoxify, especially the thyroid and pineal which are consistently being calcified by modern chemical exposure.

 

Intestinal health is another one often overlooked, some people believe it's simply normal to only get one bowel movement a day, or that this is healthy..well to an extent it's better than most, but optimal bowel health would actually include 3-4 bowel movements a day, and I'm pretty sure that at least 60% of you on here don't get this frequency.

 

In regards to Liver, one of the most, if not the most important, vital organ for ALL aspects of health - keep in mind that means mental health as well. For example, what is a methylation disorder ?  What organ is involved with methylation which affects NT's in the brain and periphery - so much the LIVER.

What's the evidence for this?   IMHO 3-4/day is excessive.

I guess it could be for some people, also depends on how much you eat - which will correlate to how much needs to be rid. But for at least two weeks in the beginning of switching to a clean + detox diet, 3 bowel movements in optimal to facilitate proper detoxification, considering all we are exposed to today, in food and out.

Not to mention that the liver makes glutathione, removes toxins from the blood, modifies hormone balance, etc etc.

Never take terbinafine, kids.

I'd be surprised if you could find a reliable medical source that says this. They usually say once or twice a day is optimal. And that's certainly the case for me and I eat a lot of vegetables and fibre.

 

When I suddenly increase the amount of fibre then I can end up going 3-4 times a day, and they are usually too loose and my anus gets sore. It's like at any moment I could need to go again, even if I just went. I would not describe it as optimal at all. But if I maintain that diet, eventually my body adapts to it and it reduces to around once, sometimes twice a day.

 

The idea of detoxification is mostly nonsense. Your liver and kidneys do this job just fine, far better than anything else you do could.

Some healthy people may have three bowel movements per week, while others may have three per day.

Frequency or pattern of your bowel movements may change over time. But if nothing else about your bowel movements is different — no loose, watery stools, abdominal cramping or bloody stool — the change is probably not a sign of any illness.

 

 

 

 

Women with very frequent (≥ 3/day) bowel movements had a 46% decreased risk compared to 1/day women (RR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.31 to 0.92),

 

 

 

This study adds limited support to the hypothesis that increased bowel motility lowers breast cancer risk.

Of the references you provided, this one is relevant & quite interesting - greater bowel motility appears to be associated to some extent with reduced risk of breast cancer:
 

A Prospective Study of Bowel Motility and Related Factors on Breast Cancer Risk

Sonia S. Maruti,1,2 Johanna W. Lampe,1,2 John D. Potter,1,2 Ann Ready,2,3 and Emily White

Abstract

Background

Estrogen is an established risk factor for breast cancer. Greater bowel motility has been associated with increased estrogen excretion and lower serum estrogen levels, suggesting it may influence breast cancer risk. However, only one other epidemiologic study thus far, to our knowledge, has examined the relation between bowel motility and breast cancer risk.

Methods

We prospectively examined whether bowel motility, measured by self-reported frequency of bowel movements, and related factors (constipation, laxative use, water consumption, and dietary fiber intake) were associated with incidence of breast cancer among 28,586 postmenopausal women, aged 50–76, in the Vitamins And Lifestyle (VITAL) study. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate multivariate-adjusted relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). From 2000–2005, 507 incident invasive breast cancers among the cohort were identified.

Results

Women with very frequent (≥ 3/day) bowel movements had a 46% decreased risk compared to 1/day women (RR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.31 to 0.92), but the test for linear trend was not significant (Ptrend=0.41). Constipation was nonsigificantly associated with increased risk (RR = 1.30 for ≥1/week versus <1/year, 95% CI = 0.87 to 1.95). No statistically significant associations were observed for the other study exposures: 10-year chemical laxative use, 10-year use of fiber laxatives, water consumption, and dietary fiber intake.

Conclusion

This study adds limited support to the hypothesis that increased bowel motility lowers breast cancer risk.

Keywords: bowel function, breast cancer, epidemiology


The proposed mechanism is a reduction in estrogen levels:
 

Experimental studies suggest that greater bowel motility lowers estrogen levels (4, 5) potentially enough to reduce risk...

These support what I already thought. They don't say you need to be going 3-4 times per day to be healthy. They say it might be normal for some people to go that often or some people might go less often than that.

 

The one about estrogen is interesting, but not enough to make me think everyone should be having a bowel movement 3-4 times per day. So long as your stools are healthy and not too loose and you're not constipated.

Again, comes back to individuality - it may very well be abnormal for some people, especially if it hasn't happened in that frequency before, but yet our intestinal function is very easily influenced by what we eat (Probiotics,L-tryptophan containing foods etc) - so it's not always bad to have bowel movements more frequently - it just depends on what is causing it and if there are other symptoms to accommodate it.
