There are critical cells in your gut directly related to your immune sytem hence can influence your Prana if affected. Mainly these comprise 2 areas being:

• 'Peyers patches' in the small intestine 
• The appendix. Both these are areas of Lymphoid tisue critical to the longterm health of your immunity hence Prana.

Thru the use of a German medical thermographic technology we have discovered that these cells are 'denatured' OR cell-function-damaged as result of use of longterm Laxatives… Indeed even longterm herbal laxatives are guilty of this damage.

Another observation we can bring to this cell damage is that if you suffer recurrent Tonsilitis then there is nothing wrong with your palatine tonsils BUT your sister lymphoid tissue in your gut is damaged AND YOUR TONSILS SWELL  to try AND do more work that the gut cells are incapable of doing thru the damage listed above.

NOTE: ALL these self or Iatrogenically caused items listed below (July-19-2007 ) actually damage/denature these cells FOR-THE-REST-OF-YOUR-LIFE.

 BTW: Laxatives also FORCIBLY draw fluid from the intestinal wall cells thereby dehydrating one further. IT IS OUR ASSERTION THAT THE BODY HAS IT'S MYRIAD very OWN WAYS OF MAINTAINING PROPER OVER-ALL BODY HYDRATION BALANCES….ANYTHING which forces fluid loss deeply  hinders efficient cell-to-cell signalling.
