Dietary Support

Dietary Support


Maintaining daily regularity, maximizing tissue support, and minimizing anal stretching are the optimal conditions for healing your anus. For these reasons, we recommend the following supplements:

L-Glutamine
Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid found in the muscles of the body. It is essential to heal and maintain all muscles, including the anus. It is the basis of the building blocks for the synthesis of RNA and DNA. It is an essential component to maintaining a healthy colonic wall.

Fortified Flax
To help you maintain daily regularity, fortified flax is your best choice of dietary fiber. The diets of most Western cultures have changed radically over the past 100 to 150 years, which often leads to problems like anal fissures. In other words, your fiber supplement must be a food and not just a filler. This excellent food for colon health will not only keep you regular, but its healthy fats (omega-3 and omega-6) will assist tissues in healing, unlike many other fiber products.

Oxitrol
Oxitrol's unique formula supplies the most comprehensive selection of antioxidants available today. Oxitrol contains vitamin E, vitamin C, CoQ10, grape seed extract, alpha lipoic acid, quercetin, N-acetyl L-cysteine, selenium, and beta carotene. All of these soften the stool and promote cellular healing. In addition, Oxitrol helps to protect the body from the formation of free radicals. Free radicals can cause damage to cells, impairing the immune system and leading to tissue degeneration. The CoQ10 in Oxitrol aids circulation, stimulates the immune system, and increases tissue oxygenation. All of this leads to a full healing of anal fissures.

MSM
MSM is a metabolite of DMSO and is a naturally occurring source of sulfur. MSM is a safe and naturally effective solution for inflammatory conditions and for healing tissues. Most people notice a distinct healing of their anus within a day or two of taking MSM orally.

Primal Defense
Primal Defense is a natural, whole food probiotic blend of HSOs (homeostatic soil organisms) designed to optimize the health of the human digestive tract and immune system. Beneficial soil- and plant-based microbes used to be ingested as part of food grown in rich, unpolluted soil. However, modern growing and processing methods have prevented our acquisition of these beneficial bacteria so necessary for the good health and function of our intestinal tract and immune system. Primal Defense is a key supplement when recovering from anal fissures.

Super Aloe
Cape aloes is a very effective herbal product for those who suffer from irregularity and need temporary relief of constipation. Cape aloes is related to the more common aloe vera growing on Cape Horn of South Africa. This very bitter substance acts as a tonic and purgative. Cape aloes purges the bowels in 6 to 24 hours.

Super Salve
Super Salve is the most effective salve that we have used to eliminate anal fissures. It nourishes and heals the tissues of the anus and works as an antioxidant. In addition, it is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and fights free radicals. INGREDIENTS: olive oil, organic chaparral leaf, organic comfrey leaf, organic echinacea flower, organic hops, organic usnea moss, organic bee's wax, cocoa butter, vitamin E and almond oils, and essential oils of cajuput, lemon grass, lemon, lavender, and tea tree.

Implant of Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, and MSM
This implant works wonders for anal fissures. I have found no other implant recipe more able to assist a sluggish colon to eliminate on its own or to heal the sensitive tissues of the colon.

Colon Cleansing
Given that poor healing of anal fissures is due to stretching and irritation of the anus by the pressure and contents of the stool, colon cleansing is a tremendous healing modality. By clearing out the entire colon using enemas during the first days, weeks, and maybe months, you will increase the speed of your healing and secure the tender anal area from tearing again. The information you need to do the colon cleansing is detailed in my book, Ten Days to Optimal Health. However, many people who have used this protocol for healing from anal fissures have worked with me over the phone or in person in order to optimize their program to fit them personally. For example, in the first days of healing from an anal fissure, most people will need to take a daily enema in order to give the rectal area a break from defecation to allow the anal area to heal.

Alternative Health Consultations

Enemas
Throughout history people have used enemas as a tool to cleanse the colon. As a health practitioner, I see daily that enemas are an excellent way to heal anal fissures. Given the number of colon cleansing sessions needed to heal from anal fissures, enemas are the most effective and economical option. Enemas are safe when used properly. Enemas allow healing to the anal area. In order to learn more about enema therapy, you can watch our video, All About Enemas, which is included in the Anal Fissure Healing Kits.
