I quote the section on 'hemorrhoids':
Twenty male
and female patients who had hemorrhoids of varying degrees of
severity participated in the study. They had all used conventional
treatments with little or no success. Two of the patients had been
treated with ligation (tying off the hemorrhoid at its base with a
rubber band.)
The
patients underwent a proctoscopy at the beginning of the trial.
Then they were told to change their toilet habits in two ways: to
wait until the urge to evacuate was strong (to avoid straining) and
to use the natural squatting position for elimination. The proctoscopy
was repeated after one year.
Of
the 20 patients, 18 reported within a few days to a few months a
significant reduction or complete absence of symptoms.
Lack of improvement in the two other patients, who had previously
had ligation for hemorrhoids, "may be ascribed to fibrous tissue
development in the submucosa as a consequence of the
ligation."7

So seriously, eat more fruits and veggies, drink more water....
and use squatting toilets where possible.
