[Hemorrhoids Treatment]

Great resources!

Anyway, just to share this to prevent hemorrhoid, avoid too much eating on spicy foods... and prevent also seating on the toilet bowl for couple of minutes or hour...

If this happen, you can use some over the counter hemorrhoid treatment that can cure.

I love this list.

What is the protocol to get the health benefits of these foods? How much do you eat? How long do you have to eat them before you see results? Do you have to eat them with any other foods to get results? Do you have to eat them on an empty stomach? More info!

Thanks!
