Your Digestive SystemMost people do not pay attention to their digestive system. They live with symptoms of poor digestion such as: ....constipation ....abdominal pain ....abdominal bloating constantly When the mealtime comes around, they are still digesting the meal before that and sometimes, the meal before that one! Incomplete digestion can be a major contributor to the development of numerous disease conditions. Approximately 58% of the population is believed to suffer from some type of digestive disorder. We have developed bad eating habits. We get very little exercise. We don’t drink enough pure water and don’t get enough fresh air and sunshine. During my practice I have seen clients who have gone for days without bowel movements and have suffered such abdominal pain most of their lives and have never known what to do about it. It is my hope to help you with that. If you are one of those people who need help, I will suggest herbal supplements, probiotics, special diets and recipes to assist you. My purpose is to teach you to be responsible for your own digestive system. Digestive dysfunction can lead to nutritional deficiency and the upset of healthy bowel flora. Incompletely digested macromolecules can be absorbed into the system circulation (the bloodstream). People develop: ....Spastic Colon ....Celiac Disease ....Crohns Disease ....Colitis ....Inflammatory Bowel Disease They must go on specific diets, either for a short period of time or for the rest of their lives. I remember the very first seminar I attended with Dr. Bernard Jensen as our teacher. I am sure many of my colleagues who attended this seminar remember this well. It has stuck with me and I have shared this with many clients too. The topic of this seminar was Iridology...., but the bowel is such an integral part of our digestive system, it was always a big topic of discussion. Here is What Happened The first morning, Dr. Jensen said 'Good Morning' to us and we all yelled back with enthusiasm 'Good Morning". The second morning, Dr. Jensen greeted us again in a similar manner, we all answered back with less enthusiasm. The third morning, Dr. Jensen greeted us again with his morning salutation. We made a disconcerted effort to say 'Good Morning' and it really must have sounded like a moan and a groan because then said to us all... so you are all suffering from constipation this morning. After sitting for three consecutive days, with very little exercise, not enough proper food and enough pure water, most of us were suffering from constipation, even to the point of abdominal pain. We learned how important it is to drink lots of water, exercise and eat well. I have written a more comprehensive page on the digestion process and digestive enzymes, that you will find very interesting.
