The Importance Of A Healthy Gut For Health

Disease takes many different forms, and can manifest in almost an infinite number of pathologies. Regardless, it has now been established by many authorities that virtually all disease manifests within the bowel. Upon thinking about this further, it is not difficult to understand why, as the bowel is an area for elimination, and when elimination does not occur as it should, toxic compounds develop and over time lead to pathologies within the body.

The bowel was not designed to hold fecal matter for any length of time, and when transit time becomes any longer than roughly 24 hours, food remains begin to putrefy and expel poisonous toxins within the bowel, which are then quickly reabsorbed via the portal vein, in which toxic compounds pass through the liver and in to the body.

The poor diet of the average modern person has contributed to this problem. Changes in our diet have forced the immune system to alter its approach to help the body cope and fight off what it perceives to be an attack. The immune system is now located where the body needs it the most and that is in the gut. Over 80% of the immune system resides in the gut. This result is known as GALT or Gut Associated Immune Tissue.

Within the last century, our diet has changed from one that consisted almost completely of raw fruits, vegetables and legumes to one that consists primarily of processed food. The human body is very good at adapting to changes that take place that affect it, but this is usually occurs over a much longer period of time. Our diet very quickly became one that our body’s immune system didn’t recognize and it could not adapt as quickly.

Refined grains, sugar free sweeteners and hydrogenated fats make up the majority of the processed food that we consume. These substances are unrecognizable to the immune system and so it goes on the offensive. From the very first bite that we take it responds automatically to the introduction of a foreign substance. It prepares the lower digestive system to deal with the food that it is about to receive. Immune markers, such as white blood cells, phagocytes and leucocytes move into the digestive system and make it ready. The body is primed for auto immune disease by processed food. A healthy portion of raw food eaten before the cooked and processed food could alter this result.

Processed and overly cooked food also depletes the body’s enzyme supplies at a much quicker rate than would otherwise be used if the food were raw and natural. From birth we are only provided with a finite amount of enzymes to get us through life, so it’s best to conserve these as much as possible.

The body has a remarkable ability to regenerate and given the right opportunity can correct a problem. In modern times, with the type of diet many of us consume, we have to put some effort into making this happen. Cleansing the bowel and removing the decay that has built up over the years is something that will aid this rejuvenation process. People have said that while they were bowel cleansing, they encountered items they had eaten long ago. One woman discovered a crayon she had eaten 40 years earlier and another passed peas she had eaten 25 years previous.

There is a product on the market that is a powerful addition to the detoxification process. It is called Miracle Mineral Supplement and is a compound that is made of chlorine dioxide. It is a potent parasite killer as well.

To a long life!
