This may seem like totally unrelated but I would like to share that I have been using EFT tapping for some time to clear negative programming. However, I just found out that EFT tapping can also be used as a natural cure for diverticulosis.
The basic premise of EFT tapping is this….
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”
And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true…
“Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.”
Hence it goes that EFT tapping can also be used for physical symptoms that you are suffering from. Find out more about EFT Tapping here!

Rectal bleeding is the most common symptom of [tag-tec]colon diverticulosis[/tag-tec]. Other symptoms include bloating, cramping after meals, and diarrhea or constipation. Some people experience abdominal discomfort, pressure, or at times, sharp pain. About 10% of people age forty and 50% of people over age sixty suffer from diverticulosis.
Strong contractions of the colon cause increased pressure that weakens the colon walls and pockets form in the wall. These pockets can become infected or inflamed. If they break, the perforation releases infection to the abdominal lining.
Infection is a complication of diverticulum that occurs in 10% to 25% of people with diverticulum. Other complications include tearing of the colon lining, intestinal obstruction, and abscesses.
A high-fiber diet may increase the bulk in the stool and thereby reduce the pressure within the colon. By so doing, the formation of pockets is reduced or possibly even stopped.
[tag-ice]Colon diverticulosis[/tag-ice] is a common problem found amongst those coming from the United States, England, Australia, and Canada. It is less common in Asia and Africa. Clues can perhaps be obtained from each culture for some ideas about how we can avoid this digestive difficulty.
A high fiber diet is important for everyone and completely essential for people with diverticulosis. Insoluble fiber is composed of plant cell walls. It is helpful in promoting proper digestion. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and lowers blood cholesterol and helps stabilize blood sugar.
Increasing water intake, adding more fiber to your diet, and avoiding foods that cause you to be constipated can reduce problems with colon diverticulosis. Fiber supplements may also help.
These actions alone can control the symptoms, unless there are very large or infected diverticula that produce dangerous amounts of bleeding. In this case surgery may be the only way to control the bleeding. Diet will help prevent more problems after surgery.
Colon cleansers may be helpful, but not if they cause stools that are hard to pass. High fiber diets provide some cleansing for the colon. You should be extremely selective about the cleansing process so that no further damage will be caused. Hence, do consult a holistic practitioner for some advice.
Exercise can help reduce the progression of [tag-dtec]colon diverticulosis[/tag-dtec]. Not only does exercise relieve stress and give you a lift, but it will promote the cleansing process.
