An element to health that is often overlooked as a leading cause to the breakdown of wellbeing is what we put in our mouths each day, and also what we don’t. At a biological level it becomes apparent that much of the food we consume is not entirely digested, and this may be driven by inadequate chewing, consistent overeating, consuming too much meat, bread, milk and other problematic foods, wrong combinations, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, innate inherited weaknesses and quite often emotional problems.

Studies have shown that insufficient digestion is often the leading cause of your health. The reason for this being; when food is not broken down adequately, harmful bacteria start multiplying uncontrollably within the small intestine and this inevitably leads to putrefaction in the large colon. The small intestine and the appendix play a vital role with regards to the body’s immune response. This area within the body is typically referred to as, “Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue” (GALT). Of course, it can often take a number of years before serious illness takes a hold but one should remember that during this time, your immune system will continuously be at war with the harmful bacteria and in turn chronic inflammation will occur within a specific part of the body.

Much of this type of activity begins early on in life, and with those of us with susceptible predispositions, this will present in the form of digestive disorders and intestinal discomfort - quite often manifesting in appendicitis. Beginning at an early age, these disorders lead to gut permeability due to a weakened intestinal wall, thus giving rise to allergies and auto immune issues developing as unbroken down proteins are allowed to enter the blood stream unchecked by the immune system. Later on in life, again if left unchecked, long term gut permeability often progresses into chronic autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammation driven conditions.

Frequent constipation in later life is often the result of over stimulated bowels as a child. Unfortunately people who suffer from regular constipation later in life will more often than not also suffer from diverticulitis; a condition which courses the buildup of hard crust like deposits on the bowel lining.

After many years of “bowel ignorance”, as it were, poisonous by products move across this weakened barrier and enter into the blood stream. The first organs to show signs of distress are the liver, the heart and brain - in that order. Fuzzy thinking, irregular heartbeat, chronic headaches are symptoms that are most often experienced. As the portal vein is the pathway for nutrients to be shuttled away from the bowel to the liver - there should be no surprise that the liver often fails under this metabolic loading.

The bowel can be likened to a city that has poor sewerage - if the waste is allowed to spill over into the streets and places of residence then it is inevitable that many will fall ill with disease. If one’s bowel in congested and not working properly, waste materials begin to build up, and illness is quick to ensue.

What to do, you may say? Well, a diet that is primarily raw will help to correct the problem over time by supplying bowel stimulating fiber that will tone the bowel walls. Ground linseed is an excellent choice, and a tablespoon or more added to every meal helps enormously over time. Remember, the aim of having at least one bowel movement per day, preferably more is required to keep the transit time brief, thus expelling toxic residue before it becomes too problematic.

In addition to paying attention to the foods we eat, there is also a supplement called MMS. This supplement becomes a powerful anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-fungal compound once activated.

In order to avoid these diseases which are becoming increasingly common, you need to pay attention to your eating habits, you need to chew your food, and of course you need to relax.
