- In 18th century, the personal physician of Louis XV in France, presented a similar definition as Ebers papyrus. He mentioned the constipation as blood pollution with released toxins from remained wastes in the intestines.[2]
- In the beginning of 19th century, physicians believed that constipation was a disease of civilization and urban population was mostly involved with constipation.[3]
- In 1850s, an American health manual revealed that "daily emptying the bowels is of the utmost importance in being healthy". Daily bowel movement was also suggested to prevent derangement and disturbance in body.[4]
- In 1906, Charles Bouchard, a French physician proposed the "auto-intoxication theory", constipated person is continuously try to suicide by intoxication with toxins which are produced by remained feces in his intestine.[5]
- In 1923, William Walsh, an American physician, mentioned that not all the symptoms and severity of constipation related to poisons released from remained feces in bowels.[6]
- In 1928, Charles Campbell, an American physician, postulated that remained wastes in colon are decomposing and may make the body full of poisons.[7]
- In 1928, Victor Paucher, a French internist, suggested that stasis of feces in bowels make their poisons secreted into blood and creates "Sewer-like blood".[8]
