Bowel Disorders
Bowel Disorders
Barron’s
Dictionary of Medial Terms defines Ulcerative colitis as;
“ … serious and chronic
inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum characterized by
recurrent episodes of abdominal pain, fever, chills, and profuse diarrhea, with
stools containing pus, blood and mucus.” (page 570)
Irritable Bowel syndrome as:
“…condition
characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, usually crampy
in nature, and diarrhea, often alternating with periods of constipation. (page 296)
In addition, Crohn’s
disease as:
“…chronic inflammatory condition affecting the colon and/or
terminal part of the small intestine and producing frequent episodes of
diarrhea (the feces are typically non-bloody and semi soft), abdominal pain,
nausea, fever, weakness, and weight loss.” (page 143)
In accepted
medical practices, treatment ranges from medication, diet to removal of parts
of the intestinal tract. Natural
medicine uses similar methods of treatment for these conditions, by
administering some kind of remedy by mouth.
We have found
one common problem in all the cases of bowel disorder we have treated, episodes
of diarrhea. If you accept that the
digestive system works under pressure, then the following explanation will be
easy to understand.
·
Food enters your mouth and goes down the esophagus to the
stomach.
·
The food is partly digested in the
stomach with stomach acids.
·
When the pressure gets high enough the pyloric sphincter
opens and allows the food to enter the small intestine.
·
There is supposed to be a resistance, pressure caused by the ileocecal value, the valve between the small and large intestine opens
and closes to allow matter through. If
there is no pressure created by the proper functioning of the ileocecal valve, the digested food leaving the stomach will
head straight for the rectum and diarrhea occurs.
What we do is
release the surplus electrical charge in the region of the ileocecal
valve. This allows the return of sufficient blood flow to the area which in
turn allows the ileocecal valve to regain its
elasticity and to begin functioning properly again. The diarrhea problem is resolved.
Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome are harder to treat because they
involve injuries to other areas of the abdominal wall. The whole abdomen and back have to be treated to alleviate these conditions. It therefore takes more time to successfully eliminate these conditions than in the case
of ulcerative colitis.
The villi of the intestine absorb most of the body’s
nutrients. There are different sections
of the small intestine that absorb different nutrients. If the body requires more
of a particular nutrient, might not the villi try to
expand so they can absorb larger amounts to meet the body’s requirements? Perhaps this is the reason why individuals
who has Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome
have large polyps in their intestine.
