What exactly happens when the food we eat hits the stomach and begins the break-down process? Just how does the body get the nutrients it needs?
In truth, digestion should work like clockwork. We should never have to give it a thought. But in a quick survey conducted by the CDC, two-thirds of the adult population had some kind of digestive incident within a three month span.
Practitioners hear complaints of digestive unrest (to put it delicately) all the time. Maybe it strikes as waves of nausea, gas, bloating, or acid reflux. Or maybe it means bouts of diarrhea, or constipation.
How important is the digestive system?
If our digestion is faulty in any way, the nutrients don’t get to every cell. And over time, our well-being is seriously compromised.
For instance, Leaky Gut Syndrome, a euphemism for something called increased intestinal permeability, really means that big food molecules slip through the digestive wall into the blood stream. And when not fully broken down into components that the cells can use, the immune system sees even the good food molecules as threats and quickly kicks in to fight.
Worse yet, at the same time as the immune system is ramping up this attack, the cells in the rest of the body aren’t getting the nutrients they need.
Fortunately, two to three pounds of bacteria live in the digestive system. And with these bacteria, we’re well-equipped to deliver trouble-free digestion and run our metabolism.
At least that is, when things are working right.
Whether we’re tired, whether we’re making enough vitamins (all the B vitamins and vitamin K are manufactured inside our digestive system) depends on how the brain and the gut are “talking” to each other.
80-90% of our serotonin is made in the digestive system. Actually, two-thirds of the immune system is actually located in the digestive system.
There is so much going in the gut it shouldn’t surprise us that the digestive system is often called the second brain.
Yet we often don’t know enough about this “second brain” activity to incorporate it into our diagnosis and treatment.
That’s why you won’t want to miss our mind/body programs.
Starting with increased intestinal permeability, we’ll get into how we as practitioners of mind/body medicine can bring relief to our patients.
The digestive tract can be as competent as clockwork, and that’s information your patients will want to know.

That’s the thinikng of a creative mind
It’s very easy to take on other peoples problems as your own. What I mean is… it’s very easy to try and help other people deal with their issues, however you can’t always be able to help everyone. The best thing you can do for him is let him deal with his own issues and be there for him if he needs someone to talk to. If he thinks that he is stupid and has no future and he wants to be a bum…. then maybe he should get a taste of that life to set him straight. He will find through his own trials and errors that lifestyle is not very glamorous. There is no need for you to set yourself into a panic for things that are out of your control. You can pray for him and hope that he opens his eyes and sees that his choices are not in his best interest. We are unable to change people, but the best thing we can do is try to live our own lives and set a good example and hope for others to follow. You are a very strong woman and you have been through a lot. Keep your head up and all this will work itself out.

Needed to compose you that tiny remark to be able to thank you so much again over the striking principles you have provided above. This has been so unbelievably open-handed with you to offer without restraint what a few individuals could possibly have advertised for an e-book to generate some cash on their own, primarily since you might well have tried it if you ever wanted. Those secrets in addition acted to be the fantastic way to fully grasp that other individuals have the same dreams similar to my own to figure out a good deal more related to this matter. I know there are many more fun periods ahead for people who scan through your blog post.
You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and more specifically, your blog in general. Very high quality material.
Such a really good discussion you all have happening. I like the mix of good and correct information together with a few intellectual thoughts. It really is wonderful to be able to finally come across excellent articles where I think I could believe in the text as well as respect the individuals that publish it. With all the web waste nowadays I always value finding some real voices online. Thank you for posting and continue the good work, please!!
I just subscribed to your RSS feed, not sure if I did it accordingly though? Good article by the way.
I love your web page! did you create this yourself or did you outsource it? Im in search of a blog design thats similar so thats the only cause I’m asking. Either way keep up the great work I was impressed with your content genuinely..
Thanks very much for this great Post. Good topic to write about on my site. I might set a bookmark to your blog.
Where did you got this much info on your blog from?? Also can i take the initiave to take the feeds from your blog for my yoga website?? But cant find the RSS feeds link here!!
that he would need to take some x-rays. The x-ray room was fascinating to me. The room was dim and the x-ray eqmpnueit really had me curious. Right then, I thought this is what I wanted to do when I grow up. So here I am now pursuing the career that intrigued me in my youth.The physician that I would not want to work for would be a surgeon. It seems to me that this would be a more intense and serious workplace. I’m not saying that being a Radiologist isn’t a serious job, but a Surgeon has a more complicated position depending on the situation. The people that you would have to deal with, I would imagine would not always be in good spirits especially if the surgery is high risk or life threatening. It would be hard for me to see and interact with patients day to day and then to know that they did not make it through a surgery or the outcome did not turn out the way they had hoped. This would weigh heavy on my mind and.
I believe Edgar Cayce said this was the major reason for Psorisis. Through the term Leaky Gut was not used at that time. He said thinning of the walls of the intestines made it possible for toxins to leak out into the blood stream.
I was told also too little HCl was responsible for acid reflux. But upon taking HCL, it hurt terribly. I did not have the information she gave today, but I learned by first healing the gut with Aloe Vera and Chlorophill first and then introducing a little HCL works better.
I also found great help from a pure basic diet of fish, roasted whole grain rice, steamed vegetables, fruit (but not raw apples) no canned or processed foods, no fried foods, no cereals because many grains sit in grain silos and the moisture draws fungus and molds to form, plust Ergot which is a blight on the wheat causes a lot of muscular tension. Women after birthing are often given the little pill which contains Ergot to tighten up the uturine muscles. With me it caused full body muscular spasm for 8 hours after my C-section!! I noticed this as a massage therapist that some people have a certain kind of all body tension. Giving up grains for two weeks, relaxed people quite a bit.
The use of Hypnosis is very helpful in conjunction with an understanding of digestive problems.
This was a great show today!!!
Thank you,

The enteric brain is very important and through the work of Dr. Paul Canali of Miami, I have learned that there is so much one can do through body work to access this and really create some lasting changes within a person. It is very powerful work. I’m going to try and tune into the seminar on the 7th.
Woah! I’m really lovnig the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that perfect balance between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
