 Rectal StrictureHeal

When inflammation has been present for a long time in the rectum, it sometimes causes
scarring (fibrosis). Repeated ulceration and healing can also result in scar tissue. Surgical
procedures for hemorrhoids, skin tags, anal dilation, sphincterectomy, etc. all cause scar tissue
as the body heals the wound. Scar tissue is not as flexible as healthy tissue and the gradual
build-up and thickening of scar tissue can narrow and constrict the anal or rectal canal, resulting
in a stricture.

Sometimes this narrowing (anal stenosis or rectal stenosis) comes on very gradually, so you
think you are constipated, rather than realizing there is a physical obstruction of scar tissue
blocking your stool from coming out. Then of course, as you strain and push to get the stool out,
this can cause more tearing (and as it heals, more scar tissue) along with hemorrhoids, strained
rectal and anal muscles, spasm and aggravated nerves. The pudendal nerve branches like tree
roots all throughout the levator ani muscles and can become trapped or aggravated. Rectal
spasming (cramping) and aggravated nerves will then contrict your rectum even further.

My Story

Believe me, I know exactly what I'm talking about here, since I've lived it! Rectal surgery 23
years ago to remove peri-anal skin tags left me with extensive scarring. That surgery was a
complete waste of time, by the way, since the tags grew back within 6 months, and bigger than
before! Then that initial scarring was added to over the years by fissures, infection, childbirth
and internal hemorrhoids. By the time my experimentation led me to develop this Rectal
StrictureHeal protocol, I had a two inch length of thick scar tissue in my rectum and was
defecating through an opening 5 mm wide. No kidding. Five millimetres is about the width of a
tooth. It would take me up to one and a half hours to have a bowel movement. And as many of
you have experienced, it felt like a type of mini-childbirth each time I had to pass stool.

I am still in process with Rectal StrictureHeal myself, but since the opening in my scar tissue has
already increased from 5 mm to 20 mm (combined with Monica's success – keep reading, her

3
story is next) I've decided to release this protocol for all the suffering people who keep emailing
me asking, "Is it ready yet?". Having been there myself, I don't want anyone to suffer a minute
longer! Now, 20 mm may not sound like much of an improvement, but here's what it actually
looks like – this is the difference in being able to pass 5 mm stool or 20 mm stool:

Wow, looks a whole lot better now, doesn't it? How do you spell 'relief'….

Keep in mind though, that this is an experimental protocol and you must do your own
research and proceed entirely at your own risk. If you're not comfortable taking this
responsibility, then wait until enough of us have tested it first, over a period of years, so that we
can say whether it is safe. At present, we cannot make any claims about this protocol and you
need to know that it is very much in the experimental stages and I am speaking only from my
own experience.

Since my scar tissue is 24 years old, it is taking a lot longer to soften and dissolve than scar
tissue that is only 6 months, or a year old. But it doesn't matter, since as you can see above, I
am seeing marked improvement and my quality of defecation is rising proportionately! Since I
have had this issue for so long, I am also testing various methods of physical therapy to soften
and release both the scar tissue and other structural complications that have occurred as a
result of straining to poo for so long – see the section below on Bodywork Therapy for more on
this. For now, let's get onto Monica's story…

How Monica Used StrictureHeal

Monica (not her real name) is one of my readers who had a stricture in her rectum (just above
her internal anal sphincter muscle). The opening was so narrow she could no longer defecate
and when she wrote to me she was beside herself with agony and having to dig out her stool
with her fingers. Her doctor did not want to dilate (stretch) her rectum because he said it would
just worsen the problem. This is true - if you stretch, cut, or otherwise damage scar tissue, the
body just repairs it by making more scar tissue!

Hence people often have their strictures dilated on a regular basis and people who have had
sphincterectomies, or laser removal of scar tissue may either have the same problem recur in a
few years, or they are left fecal incontinent from the procedure. Hint: when you look at the
research on these procedures, don't just look at one year outcomes, look at 10 year
outcomes/assessments and that's where the data shows that these procedures often lead to a
recurrence of the original problem with the added bonus of fecal incontinence – where your poo
leaks out into your pants (2).

If you're currently suffering this exact problem from repeated dilation or surgery, then there is a
good chance Rectal StrictureHeal, combined with the physical therapies mentioned above can
restore your functioning. If this is the case, then I would definitely seek treatment from someone
who has trained directly and extensively with physical therapist John F. Barnes.

Okay, back to Monica's story: Monica's doctor confirmed by sigmoidoscopy that she had a
stricture about one inch in length, most likely the result of her proctitis. Monica estimates the
stricture had been there for about 6 months. Since my Rectal StrictureHeal protocol was not

5
available yet, Monica decided to be her own guinea pig. She took a glass dropper, flipped her
legs over her head every night and squeezed 15 drops of straight 70% DMSO into her rectum!

She had been reading about my other experiments with DMSO (for hemorrhoids, intestinal
strictures, etc.) on my blog and just decided to take matters into her own hands and forge
ahead. She did this every night for 2 months. Then she went for a colonoscopy and her doctor
confirmed what she already knew - the stricture was completely gone and there was absolutely
no sign that it had ever been there. In fact, her doctor told her, "If I hadn't been your doctor all
along and seen your stricture for myself, I would never believe you had a stricture – the tissue is
completely normal and there is absolutely no indication of where the stricture was."

Because she used straight DMSO at a very high concentration, Monica says she experienced
discomfort initially and so she didn't apply it regularly in the beginning. She says she also used
my Healing Meditation for Anal Stenosis, Stricture & Hemorrhoids every night and believes that
was key. In hindsight, since the concentration she used was so strong, it was probably the fact
that she didn't apply it every night and she did do the healing meditation that saved her and
produced such positive results.

Because as part of my experimentation, I tried Monica's 70% DMSO solution. I mixed mine with
aloe vera instead of water (70% DMSO and 30% aloe vera juice) to guard against tissue
aggravation - however, it was MUCH too strong for my tissues and my rectum pretty much shut
down. I had some rectal bleeding and I didn't defecate for 5 days! I'm very glad it worked for her,
but it makes sense that it would be too strong for mucosal tissue, since DMSO used on the face
should never exceed 50% - or it can damage the tissue.(3)

What I've found does work well, is to start at a 20% concentration of DMSO in the Rectal
StrictureHeal formula (which also contains other active substances). If needed, after two weeks,
you can increase to a 30% concentration and then again after two weeks increase to a
maximum of 40% DMSO concentration, if needed. You have to increase gradually to allow your
body to build tolerance.

Depending on how old your scar tissue is and how thick, you may only need the 20%
concentration of Rectal StrictureHeal. It is better if you can stick with the lowest concentration

6
that you need, since the higher concentrations may be aggravating for some people (may result
in tissue soreness, or perhaps rectal spasm if nerves are aggravated).

Of course, if you can also do my Healing Meditation for Anal Stenosis, Stricture & Hemorrhoids
(available at: www.LTYGshoppe.com ) that will further assist your healing and possibly speed
things up. Remember that you will always experience the fastest results and create long-term
healing if you take a wholistic approach and treat all the components of your condition
simultaneously; physical, emotional and spiritual. This means you will have the highest success
if you use myofascial therapy, my Healing Meditation for Anal Stenosis, Stricture & Hemorrhoids
and the Rectal StrictureHeal formula all together at the same time.

Now let me tell you exactly what's in the Rectal StrictureHeal formula and how each ingredient
contributes to softening and dissolving scar tissue.

COMPONENTS OF RECTAL STRICTUREHEAL

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) – is a natural substance that comes from tree bark and was first
discovered by Russian scientist, Dr. Alexander Saytzeff in 1866. Due to its amazing ability to
bind with other substances, it was first utilized as a solvent. Then in 1959 it was demonstrated
that DMSO could protect red blood cells and other tissues against freezing conditions, so
experimentation began with using it to freeze and store organs for transplants.

Then Dr. Stanley Jacob, at the University of Oregon Medical School, discovered that DMSO
relieved burn pains and prevented scar tissue formation. He published his results in 1963 – from
then on DMSO usage and experimentation spread like wildfire. It follows logically, that a
substance that can prevent scar tissue formation, should also be able to soften or dissolve
existing scar tissue and in this capacity DMSO also does not disappoint.

Since then, DMSO has been widely used with professional athletes (from football players to
Olympic gymnasts) where it has proven effective with injuries to soft tissue or joint defusions;
sprains, strains, dislocations, tendonitis, bursitis, gout, soft tissue tears, myositis (muscle

7
inflammation), broken bones, tennis elbow. Pain is relieved, swelling subsides, and function is
recovered more quickly.

Today, we have plenty of evidence (from medical doctors and/or PhD scientists) showing that
DMSO can also (4):

• Increase or potentiate cell-mediated immunity in auto-immune diseases like multiple

sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lymphoid thryroiditis, etc.

• Make the immune system more effective by allowing macrophages to move around and
through the tissues faster. It can also diminish allergic reactions.

• Increase the permeability of cell membranes, allowing toxins to be flushed from the cell.

• Substitute for water in the living cell, then bind to free radicals and form a substance
(dimethyl sulfone plus water with the hydroxyl ion) which can then be excreted out of the
body via urine.

• Prevent the formation of scar tissue or adhesions, or dissolve them once present.

• Kill or slow the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

• Greatly reduce or eliminate inflammation, swelling, and pain.

• Quickly heal skin ulcerations, infected wounds, second and third degree burns and other
skin lesions. In a study of 1,371 patients with these varying afflictions who were treated
with DMSO, 95.04% were discharged as completely cured. Some of these patients had
diabetic leg ulcers, which had been present for over 15 years – they were completely
healed after daily topical DMSO spray applications for 20 days. (5)

• Clear cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma of the eyes – you can purchase
glutathione/DMSO/vitamin C eye drops from specialist compounding pharmacies like
ApotheCure.

8
How is it that one substance can effect or facilitate such a wide range of healing mechanisms?
As Dr. Stanley Jacob says:

"We've barely scratched the surface, for this is a new principle in medicine. We've
had only three new principles in our century – the antibiotic principle, the cortisone
principle, and now the DMSO principle – and the DMSO principle is the only new
one of our generation.

DMSO is literally water's alter ego. It moves through membranes and substitutes for
water so that it pulls substances through cells that ordinarily would not move through
them. This is its basic mechanism of action. The DMSO-water bond is 1.3 times
stronger than the water-water bond." (6)

I myself used my HemorrHeal formula (which also contains DMSO) to heal internal hemorrhoids
I'd had since the birth of my daughter six years prior - they healed in 6 days. Unfortunately, the
FDA (as with many powerful natural substances) has banned DMSO for everything but
interstitial cystitis (patent held by pharmaceutical company) - so you cannot sell DMSO as part
of a formula or remedy and when you sell it straight, it has to say: For Use As A Solvent Only on
the bottle. So the way around this is to provide people with the formula, instructions, ingredients
and let you make up your own remedy! And this is what I am doing.

The main side effect of using DMSO either topically or internally is the odor your body gives off.
Some say it's a garlic odor, but others report smelling soured milk, or spinach beginning to rot.
You usually cannot smell it yourself, but your loved ones will be able to! My husband tells me
the smell is not there all the time, it comes and goes. Sometimes one of my kids can smell it, but
the other can't – at the exact same moment. I expect the timing and intensity of odor varies from
person to person. Regardless, the results are well worth the smell, especially when you
compare it to the alternatives!

You may have heard concerns about whether DMSO causes lens changes in the eyes. There
was a bit of a furor in 1965 because lens changes were observed in some mammals (dogs,
rabbits and pigs). The problem was, none of the animals' eyes had been checked beforehand

9
and the dosage was 5 g/kg of DMSO for three months (equivalent to a 150 lb person taking 11.5
ounces of DMSO per day for 3 months).

In spite of the massive dose, the only result was a slight nearsightedness. No microscopic or
chemical differences could be found in the lenses. And none of the human studies done by any
pharmaceutical firms showed any eye problems.

By comparison, if you use Rectal StrictureHeal for 3 months, you will only use four ounces total
of DMSO – rather than 11.5 ounces per day used on the animals, which equals a total of 1,035
ounces of DMSO in three months! So I think we're safe to say this concern is not an issue here.

Aloe Vera – is antibacterial and antifungal. It is also used to soothe and speed healing, so it
works well to counter the “sting” of potassium iodide and any irritation from DMSO.

Potassium Iodide – a mineral salt also known as SSKI (saturated solution potassium iodide), it
is antibacterial and antiviral. It is also known for its ability to break down scar tissue and cysts.
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright has used it extensively to treat hemorrhoids, ovarian cysts and
fibrocystic breast disease. David M. Derry MD, PhD has also extensively studied the use of
topical iodine in regenerating scar tissue.(7) If used long-term (longer than a month or so), you
need to monitor your thyroid function though, since iodine impacts the thyroid.

Colloidal Silver – is also antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial. The silver ion (Ag+) is bioactive
and in sufficient concentration readily kills bacteria in vitro. Silver also kills bacteria in external
wounds in living tissue, so physicians use wound dressings containing silver sulfadiazine, or
silver nanomaterials to treat external infections. Wound dressings containing silver are
increasing in importance due to the recent increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as
MRSA.(8) Since infection is so often a component with anal or rectal infection, I have included a
small amount of colloidal silver in the formula, just in case. The amount of silver is unlikely to be
effective against acute infection – for that you need to use Jini's Wild Oregano Syringing
Protocol below – but it should help for low-grade infection, or for people who are prone to
inflammation and infection in the area. If you're sure you have no infection, you can leave it out
of the formula.

10
Castor Oil - increases circulation and supports healing of the underlying tissues and organs.
Castor oil is often used to stimulate the liver, relieve pain, increase lymphatic circulation and
reduce inflammation.(9)

Wild Oregano Oil – is a broad-spectrum anti-pathogen substance. It kills bacteria, viruses,

yeast, fungus and parasites. Since infectious microorganisms are often at the root of
inflammation, wild oregano provides good insurance and it is also anti-inflammatory. Wild
oregano has also been used topically with burn patients to speed tissue healing.

Probiotics – a therapeutic-quality probiotic provides a good protective base against

inflammation and also helps to repopulate the gut – all the way through to the anus – with good
bacteria. This helps to keep the gut more stable and less prone to constipation during treatment.
Probiotics are also crucial since the DMSO and wild oregano oil are antibacterial.

Products needed for a 90-Day Supply of Rectal StrictureHeal*:

• 1 bottle 99% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)

• 1 bottle of SSKI (super saturated potassium iodide)
• 1 bottle of Colloidal Silver (minimum 22 ppm)
• 1 quart of George's 'Always Active' Aloe Vera Juice

Optional:
• Natren probiotics: If you are having 3 bowel movements or less per day, then you can
take the Healthy Trinity capsules. If you are having more than 3 bowel movements per
day, then you must use the powders: Megadophilus, Bifido Factor and Digesta-Lac (buy
a one-month supply)
• 1 – 16-ounce bottle of cold-pressed castor oil (if you have soreness or spasming)
• 1 – 1 oz bottle of wild oregano oil (if you have infection)
• Magnesium citrate
• Potassium citrate
• Magnesium oil
• Epsom salts
• Black haw, or crampbark tincture

these products: wwwLTYGshoppe.com

A word of caution: do NOT substitute products or brands other than the ones I have listed here
(you can purchase them anywhere you want, just don’t change the brand). For example, you
cannot substitute regular iodine or Lugol’s for the potassium iodide (SSKI), since Lugol’s has
molecular iodine in addition to potassium iodide and will cause irritation when used with DMSO.
Here’s another example: you cannot combine chlorine dioxide (MMS) with wild oregano oil,
because the phenols in wild oregano neutralize or deactivate the MMS, rendering it worthless.

I have studied and compiled hundreds of pages of research to put together this protocol and
since we are dealing with powerful substances, they have volatilities and interactions with other
specific substances that can either cause unpleasant effects, or neutralize their action. This is
why you have to use exactly the products specified here to obtain the desired effect and full
potency of the protocol. As with any substance, if you react badly, develop a rash or other
allergic reaction, then discontinue use. This is yet another reason to start slowly and gradually
build up to test for tolerance.

Again, please keep in mind that these protocols are experimental, so be sure to listen to
your own gut at all times and let me know your results, so we can compile our knowledge
together. Your gut may tell you to only apply the formula every second or third day in the
beginning and you may get great results from that. Or perhaps you feel led to use it twice per
day. Don’t forget, this is how Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol came into existence – I tested it on
myself first, then about 30 of my consultation clients tested it and we compiled our feedback,
altered the protocol a bit, and now we have an excellent protocol that has helped thousands of
people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, C. difficile infection, Candida albicans (yeast)
infection, etc.

Remember to start at the 20% concentration of DMSO in the Rectal StrictureHeal formula
(which also contains other active substances). If needed, after two weeks, you can increase to a
30% concentration and then again after two weeks increase to a maximum of 40% DMSO
concentration, if needed. Depending on how old your scar tissue is and how thick, you may only

12
need the 20% concentration of Rectal StrictureHeal. It is better if you can stick with the lowest
concentration that you need, since the higher concentrations may be aggravating for some
people (may result in tissue soreness, or perhaps rectal spasm if nerves are aggravated).

You'll likely see or feel that either the scar tissue is reducing, or perhaps the whole area feels
softer, or your stool gets a bit wider, within 2-4 weeks. Another sign that things are improving is
that your rectum/anus gets more sensitive – remember scar tissue is very thick tissue with little
feeling or sensitivity in it. As the scar tissue softens and dissolves, your feeling in the area will
begin to return to normal – which means you'll feel more in that area. Complete healing may
take 2 – 12 months. If your scar tissue is fairly new (like Monica's) healing will be more rapid. If it
is very old (mine was 23 years old!) then it may take more than a couple of months to heal.

In my case – again, perhaps because my scar tissue has been there for so long – my healing
did not progress in a linear, logical fashion. When I first started using Rectal StrictureHeal, I had
a small, 5 millimeter hole in the left side of my rectum, through which to defecate. You would
think that by using the formula, this hole would gradually enlarge. But what actually happened
was, yes, this hole began to enlarge, but then there appeared another, new hole on the right
side of my rectum! So now I can pass a 20 mm stool through the left side hole, but only a 7 mm
stool through the right side hole. Crazy. But I can't second-guess my body's wisdom. I've
learned to trust my body's healing process, because my body knows far more than I do.

Have Easier Bowel Movements

This is another reason you should watch my Constipation Pooping Positions video on YouTube
(type in 'jinithompson' to the search box on YouTube and it will bring up my channel) and learn
to listen to your body's instructions about how to sit, which way to lean, when to relax, when to
push, where to put your legs, etc. whilst having a bowel movement. You may not know which
ligaments or muscles are restricted or torqued in your pelvis. You may not know the pattern or
location of your scar tissue and how that is affecting all the surrounding and attached tissues.
But your body knows. And so if you listen to your body when you're trying to have a bowel
movement, your body will let you know what to do to be able to defecate with the least amount
of strain and damage possible.

13
How do you listen to your body? First of all, don't take books or magazines or anything
distracting into the toilet with you. You can put on music, but no TV, or anything that engages
your brain. Watch my Constipation Pooping Positions video on YouTube and then put your feet
on the stepping stool, lean back and relax. Take deep breaths for a while. Then you will just get
a 'feeling' about how to change your position, or, if that is the right position for you, you will feel
'just relax' or 'push gently' or 'push from the front of your rectum' or 'push from the back of your
rectum at the top.' These feelings may come as mental ideas, they may be visual pictures in
your mind's eye. Be open to your body's unique way of communicating with you, of listening to
your intuition.

Don't worry if these feelings or images are very weak, or so fleeting you wonder if you actually
thought, saw, or heard that in the first place. No matter how weak, or faint, or distant, go with the
FIRST thing that occurs to you. And don't expect that first action to produce a stool! Sometimes
your body will need you to go through several positions, or sequences in order to unwind
enough to be able to pass stool. Just trust your body and keep following your impulses.

Another tool that can be useful on occasion is a baby enema bulb that flushes only the rectum.
Now, you may have already used colonic enemas to help you have a bowel movement and
while this can be helpful, you don't want to use colon enemas too often as they will interfere with
your natural peristalsis over time. Basically, you don't want to train your colon to need an
infusion of warm water to pass stool! Peristalsis is the muscular, wave-like contractions your
intestines use to move stool around and out of your body. Like any muscles in your body, your
intestines will respond to training and repetition. So if you repeatedly use large amounts of water
to flush stool from your colon, over time, you will train your colon that this is the normal way to
have a bowel movment.

However, there are some times where your stool has become hardened and dehydrated, or you
are going through a lot of stress and just can't get your rectum to relax. At these times, it can be
very helpful to use a bit of warm water squirted just into the rectum and then held there for as
long as you can before releasing it. Often, this is all you need to get things loosened up and
moving. You can buy a baby enema bulb syringe at any pharmacy.

14
Lubricate the tip of the bulb syringe with olive oil or comfrey salve. You can either lie down on
your left side on an old towel or waterproof pad, or sit on the toilet. If you're sitting on the toilet,
then put your legs out straight in front of you, up on the stepping stool, and lean over to the left
side. Squeeze out any air that might be in the bulb and then insert the tip of bulb syringe into
your rectum ½ to one inch. The bulb should contain filtered lukewarm or body temperature
water. Gently squeeze the water into the rectum. Assure that only the water goes into the
rectum, not any air that might be in the bulb. Gently withdraw the syringe and sit upright, leaning
back in a relaxed position, with your legs still extended straight out in front of you, your feet
elevated on the stepping stool. Try to hold the water for as long as you can, so it has a chance
to hydrate and soften the stool. Then let go, release, and follow your body's leading for which
positions to assume and how/when to push.

If your peristalsis is also not functioning properly, then see my YouTube video, Self-
Administered Colonic Massage. You can do the massage before, or during a bowel movement.
Sometimes, if you have been struggling with rectal issues for a long time, it can be helpful to
apply counter-pressure to the perineum, or for women, to the inside of the vagina. Repeated
straining can cause stretching or out-pouching, or hernia-like effects in surrounding tissues.

For example, let's say you're a woman who's had two children through vaginal births. Right
there, your vagina and rectum have been greatly stretched, strained and may have 'weak' spots.
So if you then also have a build-up of non-stretchy, rigid scar tissue in your rectum, when the
stool gets to that section and you're pushing with a lot of pressure, the stool will automatically
shift to the area of least resistance. So you can get an out-pouching of your rectal wall into your
vagina, which can then make it harder to get the stool to exit your body. In that case, if you can
insert a finger or thumb into your vagina to provide counter-pressure at that spot, then your stool
can come out of your rectum in a straight line, with greater ease. By applying counter-pressure
at the weak or stretchy spot, your stool is forced to continue on through the scar tissue and out.
As you can imagine, this greatly helps to avoid further strain and further stretching or out-
pouching.

In other cases, by applying counter-pressure to the perineum (area between the rectum and
scrotum in men, or between the rectum and vagina in women), or to the levator ani muscles that

15
run inside of your tailbone (coccyx) in a horseshoe shape down both sides of your rectum
(inside your sitz bones), you can likewise assist your body in pushing the stool out.

The two illustrations below show you the location of the levator ani muscles. In the second
illustration, of the human figure, you may notice the shaded area becomes hard and protudes
outwards during a bowel movement. Gently applying counter-pressure to this area may help,
you'll have to test it and see. Sometimes by applying very gentle pressure to certain points in
this area, while deep breathing, you may feel the tissue melt and release under your fingers and
return to soft, normal muscle. This means you have released the rectal spasm or cramp and it
will now be easier to pass stool.

See the sections below on Bodywork and Rectal Spasm for lots more detail on this issue. As
your scar tissue decreases and your sensitivity increases, expect a bit of an adjustment phase.
If things start feeling sore, or you have increased pain when you have a bowel movement, then
you can add a syringed castor oil treatment to your Rectal StrictureHeal regimen. Castor oil
softens and lubricates tissue and also increases circulation in scar tissue. When applied rectally,
it does not cause a bowel movement. If needed, you can use a glass dropper to apply 15 drops
of castor oil inside your rectum, but you must wait until 5 - 10 minutes after you've applied
Rectal StrictureHeal. So apply the StrictureHeal first, wait 5 - 10 minutes, then apply the castor
oil.

16
You can also apply a topical castor oil treatment to the rectal muscles in case of soreness or
spasming (caused by too much straining when having a bowel movement). Magnesium in hot
bath water, and oral herbal muscles relaxants also provide significant relief for rectal cramping
or spasming. Instructions for all these components are given in the Rectal Spasm section below.

So let's start with the Rectal StrictureHeal formulas (at 20%, 30% and 40% concentrations) and
then I'll tell you how to apply it. Just make up the 20% formula to begin with, as that may be all
you need for complete healing. Only increase if you feel you are not seeing quick enough
results, or your intuition tells you to try the stronger version (listen to your gut!).

17
Rectal StrictureHeal – 20% Formula

30 ml (2 tbsp.) George's Aloe Vera Juice

10 ml (2 tsp.) 99% DMSO
5 ml (1 tsp.) Potassium Iodide
5 ml (1 tsp.) Colloidal Silver

1. Mix ingredients together using stainless steel measuring spoons in a glass measuring cup
(or something similar with a pour spout). Do not touch DMSO with plastic and do not store in
plastic – use glass or stainless steel only.

2. Pour into 2 amber glass bottles (1 oz size bottles) with glass droppers. Store at room
temperature. Ingredients may be warm when first mixed – this is normal.

3. Squirt 15 drops (one dropperful) up your rectum whenever it is most clear of feces. The best
position to ensure the mixture doesn’t just leak back out again is to lie on your back and roll
back and up so your legs are above your head (sort of like shoulder stand position in yoga). But
instead of straightening your legs above your head, you keep your knees bent and relaxed so
your rectum stays open.

You then insert the dropper (pre-loaded with 15 drops of formula) into your rectum and squeeze
the bulb to release the formula. Keep bulb depressed (squeezed) as you withdraw the dropper.
Stay in the position for at least 5 full minutes to allow the mixture to absorb.

18
Your other option is to get into “hemorrhoid position” where you are kneeling on the floor or bed.
But instead of kneeling on your hands and knees, you are on your elbows and knees, with your
butt raised in the air. This automatically spreads your buttocks and opens the anal area allowing
for easy access to your rectum.

If you still get leakage, you may need to lower your chest even closer to the ground to increase
the angle. In that case, you would rest on your forehead, rather than your elbows. You then
insert the dropper (pre-loaded with 15 drops of formula) into your rectum and squeeze the bulb
to release the formula. Keep bulb depressed (squeezed) as you withdraw the dropper. Stay in
the position for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the mixture to absorb.

Wash the dropper afterwards with hot soapy water. Suck some of the hot, soapy water up inside
the dropper and then squirt it back out again to clean the inside of the dropper. Do this several
times. Dry thoroughly with a tissue, then insert dropper back into formula bottle and close tightly.
Store away from light or heat.

When you stand up, or lie down in bed, you may get some leakage. So wear a natural cotton
panty liner, or folded Kleenex to absorb leakage. If going to bed, then wear 100% cotton
underwear to prevent any staining on your sheets – but still allow the area to breathe. Or, you
can sleep on top of a cotton towel – both DMSO and potassium iodide will stain fabrics, so
protect your sheets.

Contraindications: If you continue using Rectal StrictureHeal for longer than 2 months, it's a
good idea to have your thyroid monitored. Potassium Iodide (iodine) affects thyroid function, so
if using for longer than 2 months you should have your doctor monitor your thyroid to ensure it is
not unbalanced by the iodine. If you are sensitive to iodine, or need to reduce it, then cut the

19
amount of potassium iodide in the formula in half and it should still work – it may just take longer
to see results.

Warning: As I said above, DMSO will transport instantly into the cells anything it comes in
contact with. So only store in glass, wash hands with natural soap before handling, only use
unvarnished wood, stainless steel or glass to apply - avoid plastics or anything that contains
synthetic chemicals that could be transported into your body. To achieve the same results, you
must use the same brands that I recommend in my LTYG Holistic Health Shoppe – if you don't
want to buy online, just copy down the names of the brands and get your local health store to
order them in for you.

Dosage Instructions:

• Insert 15 drops, once per day, for as long as needed (2 – 12 months). If you use for
longer than 2 months, you should monitor your thyroid levels.

• Simultaneously take 250 mg magnesium citrate and 100 mg potassium citrate, together
after a good breakfast, lunch or dinner. It usually takes 6 – 12 hours to take effect, so
time it accordingly. When you take magnesium and potassium in this form, they work
together to simultaneously relax the bowel and stimulate a bowel movement. However, if
you tend towards diarrhea, then don't ingest the magnesium.

• Whether you tend towards diarrhea or constipation, use a stool softener/bulking agent,
like pysllium, flax, chia, or MetaCleanse once per day during treatment to keep stool soft
and reduce stress/irritation on the rectum. This is a very important step! You will not
have the same success with this remedy if you are simultaneously struggling with
diarrhea or constipation – both of which are hard on the rectum and so can aggravate
tissue or cause more scar tissue through tearing. So use the MetaCleanse to bulk up
and soften stools, making them easier to pass.

BODYWORK THERAPY

Following surgery, or any kind of ongoing trauma, or continual strain, you can develop muscle,
tendon or ligament strains in corresponding tissues or organs. You can also develop adhesions
between the rectum and the bladder, or between the intestine and the uterus, or between the
rectum and the vagina.

As I already mentioned, the levator ani muscles can become strained to the point where they
go into spasm, particularly if the pudendal nerve is aggravated, trapped or compressed. The
coccyx (end of the tailbone) can go out of alignment and this also interferes with defecation and
can aggravate nerves in the area. Continually straining to pass stool can also lead to shortening
and tightness in the ligaments and muscles of the pelvis, hips and down into the hamstrings.
Here's what the levator ani muscles look like and how the pudendal nerve branches throughout:

I have seen the best results thus far in releasing these restrictions from therapists who are
trained in myofascial release techniques. Look for chiropractors, osteopaths or physical
therapists (called physiotherapists in Canada) trained in A.R.T. (Active Release Technique), or

22
one trained by John F. Barnes in his myofascial release and myofascial unwinding techniques. I
highly recommend you get Barnes' fantastic book, Healing Ancient Wounds to understand more
fully how trauma and pain get trapped in the very memory of the tissues and cells. Thus full,
complete healing involves releasing this trauma and memories from the physical tissues.

At the very least, find a chiropractor, osteopathic doctor, or physical therapist (or a massage
therapist with advanced training) who is trained in A.R.T. or John F. Barnes' myofascial
techniques and explain to them what you've been suffering (or just print this section off and give
it to them) – ask them to specifically look at the levator ani muscles, sacrum, coccyx and
pudendal nerve. Here's what osteopathic physician Dr. Gilles Mondoloni has to say about
treating this region:

"Osteopathy treats the suffering of the pudendal nerve as follows : the Osteopath
relaxes many muscles of the pelvis and perineum which trap the pudendal nerve,
the Osteopath frees some trapped joints of the lower back, sacrum and the hinge
between the sacrum and coccyx. The osteopath kneads the tissue around the
pudendal nerve to make them more flexible and less adherent to the pudendal
nerve. In my personal experience, these osteopathic techniques give good to very
good results and should absolutely be tried."(1)

Here's a picture of of what treatment can look like, although usually you would just have some
stretchy sweat pants on. A good therapist will also only apply a level of pressure that is
comfortable for you – however, sometimes you will welcome "good pain" as you feel something
releasing and at long last letting go. If you're female and would feel more comfortable with a
female therapist, then be sure and book with one since you will get the best results if you can
relax.

23
If you use Rectal StrictureHeal to clear your scar tissue, but yet you are still finding it difficult to
relax or pass stool effectively, then you have to look to the complications outlined above and
pursue these therapies to release all the tissues, nerves, ligaments and associated trauma.
Otherwise, the strain and restriction in the area will just re-create the same problem all over
again resulting in hemorrhoids, or fissures – which lead to more scarring. It can take a while to
find a therapist who is skilled in this particular area, so don't give up! You should experience
some notable relief/results after one, or maximum two sessions. If you don't, then move on, you
have not found the right therapist yet.

REMEDIES FOR RECTAL SPASM OR CRAMPING

If you suffer from rectal spasming or cramping, there are a number of tools you can utilize to
relax the rectal muscles and ease the pain. When your rectum is in spasm, if you are a woman,
you can feel it through the back wall of your vagina. Insert a finger into your vaginal canal and
press against the back wall (towards your tailbone). Scar tissue in your rectum can feel
thickened or stiff, but if your rectum is in actual spasm it will feel rock hard – like there is an iron
rod behind your vaginal canal. If you're a man, you may be able to feel the spasming muscle by
palpating (pressing on) the levator ani muscles on either side of the anus, up in a horseshoe

24
shape under the tailbone (coccyx). Likewise, these muscles will feel extremely hard and likely
be bulging outwards. Unless the spasm is higher up in the rectum – in that case, men won't
likely be able to feel it, and women would have to check by inserting a finger into the vagina and
pressing against the back wall of the vaginal canal.

Often, this spasming and cramping of the rectum or rectal muscles feels like you need to have a
bowel movement. So you go sit on the toilet and the urge to defecate comes in waves (just like
labor) with intense urgency to push – but nothing comes out! This is because it is not the stool
you are pushing, it is the hard rectal spasm or cramp that is triggering everything and pushing or
straining to poo will just make the spasming worse!

Again, yes, I am speaking from personal experience and I have had rectal spasming so severe I
couldn't walk upright and would have to grip the counter and breathe through it. The spasming
often occurs (or is triggered by) when you have a build-up of stool and you also really do need
to poo. But once your rectum goes into spasm, it then prevents the stool from coming out, so
you get into a really unpleasant feedback loop of: need to poo  pressure causes spasm 
can't poo  more build-up of poo  urgency to poo increases  increased pressure causes
stronger spasm, and so on. The way to break this feedback loop is to get your rectum/anus to
relax, so that you can defecate without pushing and straining too much.

You may also experience cramping and pain throughout your levator ani muscles – and
remember that the pudendal nerves spread like tree roots throughout the levator ani muscles. In
this case, if you palpate your muscles from your sitz bones, up both sides of your buttocks and
across just under your sacrum, you will actually feel the muscles are swollen and bulging
outwards as they spasm. Here are several techniques I've found work well, and in severe
instances I have had to use all 4 at once!

1. Apply a Hot Castor Oil Pack to Rectal Muscles

Remember the illustration above showing the levator ani muscles? This is where you need to
apply castor oil along with heat, to penetrate and soften those muscles. The simplest way to do
this is to apply cold-pressed castor oil with your fingers; in a horseshoe shape from the base of

25
your right sitz bone, up to your tailbone, across your sacrum and then down to the bottom of
your left sitz bone. The sitz bones are also called the sitting bones – they are they bones you
can feel at the bottom of your bum when you sit on a bicycle or hard seat. Your sacrum is a flat,
slightly rounded pad of bone at the base of your spine. The illustrations below show you what
this area looks like and where to apply the castor oil:

Once you have massaged in the castor oil, you have two options for applying the heat. If you
have a parabolic electric heat dish (I got mine at Costco), or an infrared heater, you can turn on
your heat dish and then kneel in front of it in the 'hemorrhoid position' – so the heat can directly
warm and penetrate the rectal muscles, where you applied the castor oil:

26
Otherwise, you place a piece of 100% cotton flannel or old cotton pillowcase (no polyester,
cotton only) over the skin where you applied the castor oil. Add more castor oil to saturate the
cloth, so that there is enough oil to also penetrate your muscles. Then apply a layer of plastic (to
prevent the castor oil from leaking out) and then lie down in your bed, on top of a heating pad or
hot water bottle; positioned directly under the area you applied the castor oil. You don't want the
castor oil to leak out onto the hot water bottle or heating pad, as it will stain the pad and damage
the rubber. You may also want to put an old towel on your bed, just in case there are any drips.

It's ideal if you can apply heat for 20 – 30 minutes, but I find even 10 minutes brings significant
relief. Remember to use cold-pressed castor oil and 100% cotton flannel (or wool) – no
synthetics.

When you're finished the treatment, either wipe off the excess, or put an old pair of underwear
and pants over top (to avoid staining your good clothes). Or, you can get in a hot bath or shower
and wash the area with natural soap. If you prefer, you can go straight to the next treatment to
relax spasming muscles – a hot magnesium bath.

2. Take A Hot Magnesium Bath

Magnesium is nature's muscle relaxant; it plays an important role in the production and transfer
of energy, in muscle contraction and relaxation and in nerve conduction. However, if you take
magnesium orally, it will irritate your colon and act as a laxative. This is not a good idea when
your rectum is already spasming and blocking the stool from coming out! So the solution is to
use either transdermal magnesium (absorbed through the skin), or nanoparticle (angstrom-
sized) magnesium that also does not require digestion. Let's look at transdermal methods of
applying and absorbing magnesium first.

Fill your bathtub with hot water and then add 2 ounces of magnesium oil (which is
supersaturated magnesium chloride condensed from seawater). Since the magnesium is going
in through your skin, it is not passing through your digestive system, nor triggering a bowel
movement.

27
Now, since magnesium oil is not cheap, here's what I do to get the same effect, but cut the price
considerably. I add only one ounce of transdermal magnesium along with 1 cup of epsom salts
(which is much cheaper – especially if you buy it at Costco) to my bathwater. I find the two work
well together and that I get a nice infusion of magnesium for a much cheaper price than using
magnesium oil only. If you're on a really tight budget, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of
magnesium oxide instead of the magnesium oil. So you would use 1 tablespoon magnesium
oxide and 1 cup of epsom salts together in your bath. Magnesium oxide doesn't work as well as
magnesium oil, but if money's really tight, it will still provide relief.

If you also want to make your bath smell nice (which can help you relax), add any essential oil
that you like directly to your tub, or to your epsom salts and stir well. Add about 5 - 10 drops to
each cup of epsom salts, or add the oil directly your bath. To relax: add essential oils of
lavender, rose, bergamot or jasmine. To invigorate (or if you have a cold): add essential oils of
rosemary, eucalyptus, peppermint or spruce.

3. Nanoparticle or Angstrom Magnesium

If you take regular magnesium (in tablet, capsule or liquid form) it can irritate your colon and
stimulate a bowel movement. However, you can take magnesium orally as long as it is in
nanoparticle or angstrom-sized form. This means the mineral is so tiny it is absorbed instantly
(even through the lining of your mouth) and thus does not need to pass through the digestive
system. Nano-sized minerals are often used with autistic kids – who frequently refuse to swallow
anything.

Since the nano-sized magnesium does not pass through, nor irritate your digestive tract, you
can take very high doses and suffer no laxative effects. For both my kids (who play a lot of
sports) and myself, if we get a muscle cramp, we take 1 tbsp. of the nano-size magnesium and
the cramp disappears in 1 – 3 minutes and does not return. For rectal spasming, I take 2
tablespoons and then if needed, I take another 2 tablespoons two hours later. If I'm doing the
hot castor oil pack, then the magnesium in the bath, then I only take 1 tbsp. of the nano-sized
magnesium and that's usually enough.

28
4. Herbal Muscle Relaxants

The two best herbal muscle relaxants and anti-spasmodics I've found are cramp bark and black
haw. Black haw is the stronger of the two herbs, but they both work well, so use whichever one
is easiest to obtain. These herbs will relax cramping in all smooth muscles; the rectum, uterus,
intestines, lungs, etc. They even relax blood vessels and so are used for hypertension and also
for asthma (lungs).

The easiest (and most potent) way to take these herbs is in tincture (liquid) form, dropped into a
mug of herbal tea or a shot glass of hot water, 40 drops, three times per day on an empty
stomach (20 minutes before food, or 2 hours after food) during an acute attack of spasming or
cramping.

Which Natural Muscle Relaxant Remedy Should I Use?

As you read through the four remedies given above, you will likely feel a twinge of interest, or a
nudge to try one or two in particular. This is your body wisdom speaking to you, so pay
attention.

For myself, during an acute attack of painful spasming, I like to combine an oral remedy with a
heat remedy. So I might take black haw and a magnesium bath. Or nanoparticle magnesium
and a hot castor oil treatment. On really bad days I have done all four as the day wears on,
alternating treatments to get me through the rough patch.

Also, very important is the effect of gravity on spasming rectal muscles. As long as you are
standing or sitting, gravity is pulling on those muscles and sitting can also apply pressure to the
muscles, ligaments or pudendal nerve. So most people find relief from either lying down
completely horizontal, or standing/walking. Often you will have to alternate these two. Again,
listen to your body and it will tell you when it needs you to lie down and take the pressure off,
and when it needs you to move, so it can unwind whatever is compressed or hooked in your
pelvis. And don't forget to find and book that bodywork therapist, chiropractor or osteopathic
doctor trained in myofascial release so they can assist your body in the unwinding/releasing
process.

29
How's Your Peristalsis?

Deciding whether to take the oral magnesium and potassium as advised in the Rectal
StrictureHeal Dosage section (encourages a bowel movement), or whether to only take
nanoparticle magnesium (does not affect the bowels) depends on whether your peristalsis
needs help and also whether your rectum is spasming. Let me explain…

If your smooth rectal muscles are prone to cramping or spasming (due to trauma or aggravated
pudendal nerve, etc.) then taking anything that has a laxative effect can make the spasming
worse. Because the more pressure against the rectum (of stool trying to evacuate), the harder
and tighter the muscle spasms – making it almost impossible to pass stool. At the very least,
this situation may lead to a lot of straining and possibly hemorrhoids or fissures.

So in that case, you should not take the magnesium citrate and potassium citrate, but rather you
should focus on using the four remedies given above and wait for the spasm to release, then
you will naturally be able to have a bowel movement.

However, if you also have a problem with your peristalsis (rythmic, wave-like muscular
contractions that move the stool through the intestines) so you just do not feel the urge to have
a bowel movement, then the magnesium citrate and potassium citrate can help. When you take
magnesium and potassium in this form, they work together to simultaneously relax the bowel
and stimulate a bowel movement.

So if you do not have rectal spasming, or it is quite mild, you can take 250 mg magnesium
citrate and 100 mg potassium citrate, together after a good breakfast, lunch or dinner. It usually
takes 6 – 12 hours to take effect, so time it accordingly. This acts as a muscle relaxant for the
anal sphincter muscle to facilitate easier bowel movements, whilst simultaneously stimulating
your peristalsis to produce a bowel movement.

It's also a very good idea to use a stool softener/bulking agent, like pysllium, flax, chia, or
MetaCleanse once a day during treatment to keep stool soft and reduce stress/irritation on the
rectum. This is a very important step! You will not have the same success with this remedy if
you are simultaneously struggling with diarrhea or constipation – both of which are hard on the

30
rectum and so can aggravate tissue or cause more scar tissue through tearing. So use the
MetaCleanse to bulk up and soften stools, making them easier to pass.

ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE

In this ebook, I have given you a powerful formula to heal your rectum. However, long-term
healing involves addressing and healing whatever is causing or has caused the scar tissue to
form in the first place. For most people, rectal strictures are caused by one or a combination of
the following factors:

1. Straining to defecate and/or improper defecation position – Continually straining to poo,

or having hard stools can tear your rectum (fissures). Repeated tearing/healing of rectal tissue
results in scar tissue. If you suffer from chronic constipation, then I strongly advise you to get my
book, Listen To Your Colon: The Complete Natural Healing Guide For Constipation as you need
a comprehensive treatment protocol that addresses all the variables involved (diet, probiotic
regimen, impacted feces, bowel cleansing, re-training the bowel, eliminating pathogenic
bacteria, etc.). If you only occasionally or rarely get constipated, then using this treatment
protocol may be sufficient:

• Take 7-10 billion c.f.u. (colony forming units) of Natren brand probiotics (1 – 2 Healthy
Trinity capsules) per day to begin the process of normalizing your bowel flora.

• If the day ends and you have not had a bowel movement, then the next day take
MetaCleanse before breakfast – follow dosage instructions on the package (detailed
dosage instructions are on www.LTYGShoppe.com). If you do not have a bowel
movement during that day (after taking the MetaCleanse), then before you go to bed that
night, take 250 mg magnesium citrate and 100 mg potassium citrate. Continue this
regimen; taking MetaCleanse in the morning, but increasing the magnesium dosage
each night (up to 1000 mg) until you have a bowel movement. After your bowel
movement, continue to take MetaCleanse (or eat soaked chia or flaxseed) daily for
maintenance. Remember to drink 8 – 10 glasses of filtered or spring water per day – do
not skip this crucial step!

31
 • Go and watch my videos on my site: www.ListenToYourColon.com on Constipation
Pooping Positions and Self-Administered Colonic Massage. Use these techniques
before and during a bowel movement to reduce the need to strain and to facilitate a
more complete evacuation. At the very least, put your feet on a child’s stepping stool
when sitting on the toilet – to raise your knees higher than your hips – as this helps to
straighten and open your rectum. Lean back if it's too much pressure. The western
practice of just sitting on the toilet prevents the rectum from straightening out and
opening – making us much more prone to constipation, hemorrhoids and fissures! If you
have the flexibility and balance, it’s best to squat on the toilet, or you can purchase
squatting platforms on the Internet that fit around your toilet.

2. Repeated anal or rectal fissures – these fissures (tears or rips in the tissue) can result from
chronic diarrhea or constipation, or from childbirth, or medical procedures, or anal stenosis, etc.
The fastest and easiest way to heal anal or rectal fissures is to use my FissureHeal
suppositories, available at: www.LTYGshoppe.com
Again, I formulated these myself after trying every remedy under the sun to heal my own rectal
fissure – and nothing worked! They are also super-thin so insertion is easy and painless. If you
have a very mild fissure, you may be able to heal it using just comfrey salve (applied with your
finger) or a fresh piece of aloe vera. Skin the aloe vera plant so only the clear gel remains, then
put it in the freezer for a couple of hours to harden, then cut a few pieces to the desired size,
allow to soften a bit and then insert into your rectum.

3. Trauma to the rectum – this trauma could be caused by surgery, or childbirth, or some other
unusual, non-recurring event. In these cases, Rectal StrictureHeal alone may be all you need to
heal the scar tissue that has formed in your rectum. But you should still take probiotics and a
stool bulking/softening agent if needed – or just eat chia seeds or flax seeds once per day.

4. Weak blood vessels - If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, or your nose bleeds
when it’s dry or you blow it forcefully, or you’re prone to anal or rectal fissures, or varicose veins,
or hemorrhoids, then those are signs that you need to strengthen your blood vessels. These
supplements will help you to do that over a 3 – 6 month period, so begin supplementing as

32
follows in addition to using Rectal StrictureHeal:

• Supplement with Bioflavonoids - Bioflavonoids (including Rutin, Hesperidin and

Quercetin) are plant compounds that act synergistically with vitamin C to strengthen vein
and capillary walls so they don’t tear and bleed so easily. They are produced by plants to
protect themselves from bacteria, parasites and cell injury. Bioflavonoids have also been
shown to reduce back and leg pain, promote circulation, treat and prevent cataracts,
stimulate bile production, and lower cholesterol levels – so you’ll receive a lot of side-
benefits too! Get a brand that contains at least 50 mg each of Rutin, Hesperidin and
Quercetin. If you also suffer from Hay Fever, take 400 mg of Quercetin per day as
Quercetin regulates histamine release from the cells and you’ll see a big improvement (if
not elimination) of your allergies.

• Supplement with Vitamin C - As mentioned above, vitamin C works synergistically with

bioflavonoids to prevent bleeding (and help bleeding clot faster) in all mucous
membranes. Mucous membranes are the type of tissue on your lips, inside of your nose,
genitals, rectum and intestinal tract. Vitamin C is an antioxidant required for at least 300
different metabolic functions in the body, including adrenal gland function, tissue growth
and repair, protection against infection, and cancer prevention.

Vitamin C in its common ascorbic acid form can cause diarrhea in higher dosages.
Therefore, you may want to get Vitamin C in mineral ascorbate form (e.g. calcium
ascorbate). High doses of magnesium can also cause diarrhea so avoid vitamin C in
magnesium ascorbate form, if you are susceptible to diarrhea. The mineral ascorbate
form is also preferable as it’s more readily absorbed – ascorbic acid has to first be
converted to mineral ascorbates by the body prior to absorption.

Another delicious way to get your daily vitamin C in mineral ascorbate form (for ongoing
use) is by using Emergen-C – handy single-serving packets naturally flavored in a
variety of yummy flavours. These are especially useful for kids since they are like
drinking a ‘fizzy juice’ and kids love them. Raspberry, lemon-lime, and Super Orange are
the favourite flavours in our family.

33
5. Irritation from chronic diarrhea – people who’ve had 5 – 20 bowel movements per day for
months, or years, can be prone to anal/rectal fissures (with repeated healing/scarring) and
sometimes to hemorrhoids. In this case, you likely have an intestinal infection or systemic illness
that is at the root of the diarrhea and you really need the comprehensive treatment instructions
in my book, Listen To Your Gut. As a short-term fix though, while you’re waiting for the book to
arrive – or perhaps you’ve suffered food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhea – you can use this
routine to absorb excess water and bulk up your stool, thus preventing so many bowel
movements each day:

• Take MetaCleanse daily – The bentonite clay, psyllium and flaxseed in MetaCleanse
work synergistically to absorb excess water from your bowel – rendering your stool soft
and spongy, thereby promoting regular bowel movements. When you have too much
water in your colon, it results in an urgency to defecate and often explosive bowel
movements. MetaCleanse absorbs the extra water thereby reducing the urgency and
frequency of diarrhea. I have full usage instructions at www.LTYGShoppe.com but in
most cases, you can start with adding 2 heaping tablespoons of MetaCleanse to 8 oz. of
water or fruit juice – apple, pineapple, grape or cranberry juice work best; mixing with
citrus juice may produce gas. Take once or twice a day (first thing in the morning and
before bed are usually best). MetaCleanse can be taken at any time of day; however, to
establish a routine and promote regularity, I suggest taking MetaCleanse at about the
same time each day. Make sure you are also drinking at least 8 glasses of filtered or
spring water per day.

• If you cannot tolerate MetaCleanse, or don't like it, then you can use L-glutamine – on an
empty stomach – and this will cause your colon to re-absorb the excess water. Start with
1/4 tsp per day and gradually work up to the dose that's needed (maximum 6 tsp. per
day). But you must take L-glutamine on an empty stomach (1/2 hour before food, or 2
hours after food for it to work in this manner).

• Also go to YouTube and watch my video on Self-Administered Colonic Massage as this

will help you to get more of the stool around and out in one go, rather than small
amounts in multiple bowel movements.

34
6. Proctitis or Other Rectal Infection – if you suffer from proctitis or some form of colitis that
also affects your rectum, then you really need the comprehensive treatment protocols in my
book, Listen To Your Gut. This kind of chronic infection is not just localized, it has a systemic
component and so you need a comprehensive treatment protocol that treats the whole body, not
just the rectum. At the very least, you need to do Jini's Wild Oregano Oil Protocol orally and also
syringe diluted wild oregano oil up your rectum to heal the infection. Then you need to take high
dose probiotics.

If you want to use Rectal StrictureHeal, then it might be a good idea to heal your proctitis or
rectal infection first. It's hard to know, since no one with active proctitis has tested the protocol
yet. On the one hand, the ingredients in Rectal StrictureHeal could help heal the proctitis
infection, but on the other hand, the ingredients might be too strong for infamed or ulcerated
tissue. You will have to listen to your gut for how to proceed and then please let me know what
worked! In any case, once your infection is healed, you can use Rectal StrictureHeal to heal the
scar tissue. But as I said, it's really best if you can get my Listen To Your Gut book to address
the root causes of your proctitis, so that it doesn't keep recurring. Along with the systemic,
wholistic healing remedies in Listen To Your Gut, you can use this syringing protocol below to
directly eliminate infection in the rectal tissue.

Jini’s Wild Oregano Syringing Protocol (for proctitis or rectal infection)

This protocol is geared to directly target your proctitis or rectal infection and eliminate it very
quickly, whilst healing the affected tissue (wild oregano oil is an anti-inflammatory and has also
been used with burn patients). If you would like to go slower, then follow the instructions below,
but apply only 3 times per day – you should still see good results from this reduced dosage, but
it will take longer to heal.

• Syringe diluted wild oregano into your rectum, using a glass dropper. Start at a 7:1
dilution with olive oil (7 drops organic olive oil, to every 1 drop of wild oregano oil), and
then increase in strength to get it up to 4:1 or 3:1 (3 drops olive oil, 1 drop wild oregano
oil) – the stronger, the better, according to your tolerance. Apply to your rectum in the
same manner instructed above for Rectal StrictureHeal, so that the oregano oil stays in
the rectum and doesn’t drain back out immediately. Stay in the application position (legs

35
 over your head, or 'hemorrohoid' position) for 10 minutes to allow the solution to
penetrate.
NOTE: never apply essential (undiluted) wild oregano oil to your rectum (or skin) as it is
too strong and can damage the tissue. Always dilute as instructed above and use the
brands recommended in my LTYG Holistic Health Shoppe: www.LTYGshoppe.com

• Syringe 15 – 20 drops of the diluted wild oregano oil every 2 hours for the first 24 hours
(when you’re asleep at night, let it go 4-6 hours).

• Then 15 – 20 drops of the diluted wild oregano oil every 4 hours for the next 24 hours.

• Then 15 – 20 drops of the diluted wild oregano oil, 4 times per day thereafter until
infection is completely resolved/gone.

• Then 15 – 20 drops of the diluted wild oregano oil, 2 times per day for 10 days (yes, this
is AFTER there is no infection left).

• Allow the area to rest for a week and then begin applying Rectal StrictureHeal.

• Throughout this whole regimen, continue with oral wild oregano and probiotics, as per
Jini’s Wild Oregano Oil Protocol (as detailed in my Listen To Your Gut or The IBD
Remission Diet books).

If you also address the root cause(s) of your rectal stricture or scarring, either prior to, or at the
same time as using Rectal StrictureHeal, you will have the highest chance of preventing
recurrence. The great thing about having a tool like Rectal StrictureHeal however, is that even if
it takes you some time to heal the underlying causes, you still have a potent treatment you can
use to heal any scar tissue that may recur.

I also have effective treatment remedies for healing intestinal strictures, hemorrhoids and
anal/rectal fissures – see my site, www.ListenToYourGut.com for the remedies for each.

Since this is one of our newer treatment protocols, it would be very valuable for me to have your
feedback (in as much detail as you can) as to what you implemented and how it worked for you.
Pooling our experience will help me to refine and produce even more effective treatment
protocols. So please post your questions, ideas and results (and if it didn’t work for you, I also
want to know about that) in the COMMENTS section of my blog post (so that everyone can
benefit) and I will answer you there:

Remember, this is an experimental protocol and you must do your own research and proceed
entirely at your own risk. If you're not comfortable taking this responsibility, then wait until
enough of us have tested it first, over a period of years, so that we can say whether it is safe. At
present, we cannot make any claims about this protocol and you need to know that it is very
much in the experimental stages and I am speaking only from my own experience.
