Sewage Backs Up!: Failure to elimnate waste allows reabsorption of toxins your body is trying to get rid of as well as failure to expel new toxins getting in daily. Think of your commode full of sewage if it backed up all over the floor. Same idea in the body. Things are shutting down and not working well. Effects will vary according to each tissue affected. Beter to make sure you eliminate daily.

Constipation: Fatigue for many as the purpose for stooling is to get rid of waist. I have seen constipation bad enough to cause significant colon dysfunction and dilation. This was an extreme case. However, it did result in the need for a colectomy.
