Why
do I have digestive issues and why do I get sick?
Our intestinal flora has been compromised due to our unnatural
state of being in what we consider as normal life in our society. To answer these
questions, we have to take it back to the beginning of life itself.
One of the most natural functions as animals, giving
birth, has been dehumanized and in fact, we treat child birth like a
disease. The birthing process takes
place in sterile hospital rooms and mothers are hooked up intravenously. They
are injected with antibiotics which end up affecting the foundation for the
baby’s digestive and immune systems. The
antibiotics prescribed, "to prevent infection," often prevent good
bacteria from colonizing in the baby’s digestive tract.
Induced labor often leads to caesarian section births, which is
another issue. A baby in the mother’s
womb is sterile. The passage through the birth canal, full of healthy bacteria,
is the baby’s first exposure to bacteria orally, which helps to colonize the baby’s
digestive tract. This is nature’s first vaccine. This does not happen through caesarian
sections, which places these newborns at a disadvantage, medically.
As they grow, children receive immunizations and injections, but
over time, society has begun doing this earlier and earlier in life, so much so
that most children today live with a compromised intestinal flora and have
never truly been healthy because they haven’t been given the chance to develop
natural antibodies on their own. They are given antibiotics for every kind
infection: ear , throat, sinus, ect. This leads to a long history of taking
antibiotics, which is a common factor in people who are chronically ill. The
earlier they are started on antibiotics, and the more they take them, the more
complicated their systems are later in life, and the harder it is to find a
diagnosis. Even though it may have been medically necessary, some people will
suffer just from 1 single dose of antibiotics.
Another factor that has a role in harming our intestinal flora is
the food we eat. The amount, frequency
with which we eat, and even how we combine our food, even if we eat all
organic, can affect our digestive health. Many food combinations, like mixing
vegetables and fruits in one sitting, are harmful to our good bacteria.
We continually have foreign invaders traveling down the digestive
system. They can only take up residence in our digestive system when there is
no good bacteria there to keep them out. Once there, these foreign invaders are
fight for the valuable nutrients that our cells need to survive. They
feed off of junk food, and food that has no nutrition value what so ever. Parasites
then attack our weakened cells and tissues, literally eating them for lunch,
while viruses are invading and taking over our cell's DNA, making our own cells
manufacture more viruses. This attack in the intestinal wall has several
consequences:
1. Preventing the body from absorbing
nutrients that the body needs to produce hormones, neurotransmitters, and other
cells.
2. Exposes immune system to a plethora of
antigens.
3. Depletes the second brain forcing
all immune responses, hence preventing the body from completing many primary
functions.
Creating an environment that good bacteria thrive in will help
keep the invaders out, and is the foundation for good health.
Having a compromised digestive system can affect you in every area
of your life, from the common cold to, pneumonia, to depression. Our digestive system is the second brain of the
body, and the importance of a healthy intestinal flora cannot be over stated.
