“Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.”

William Patrick Kinsella, (1935 – 2016), Canadian novelist and short story writer.

Lazy Intestine in Elderly People

This is a frequent occurrence, and physicians usually prescribe here laxatives.

Such handling results from misunderstanding of the subject.

Constipation can have many causes, but if nutritional regime is adapted, such one recedes and disappears.

Except, if you are not aiming at the base of the ailment!

In age, people become deficient in Vitamin B12.

Despite the fact that this one is abundant in food, it needs the so-called Intrinsic Factor secreted by parietal stomach cells to be absorbed by small bowel.

Because of the most prevalent autoimmune disorder, parietal stomach cells degenerate and disappear.

Hence, deficiency in Vitamin B12!

If you substitute such a person in this vitamin by subcutaneous injections, the neuro-vegetative system regenerates again and the Lazy Intestine Syndrome disappears.

To my opinion, one shot every 3-4 weeks is enough.
