Immune System and digestive issues

[Guest guest]

Ladies,

Do not forget that the immune system begins in the GUT!

I read this a long time ago in one of my health books, and it was an

eye opening statement. Our digestion and our immune system go hand

in hand. Often women have digestive issues with implants because it's

a sign of the deeper issues going on with our immune system.

Fast Facts

Poor digestion leaves the body and the immune system in the same

predicament that poor nutrition does – a lack of nutritional factors

that support immune functioning and the function of the entire body.

This is because a poor functioning digestive system has lost some of

the ability to turn what's consumed into a form the body can use.

We're using up pancreatic enzymes (digestive enzymes) faster than we

used to and we have a limited amount of them. Processed food is a

contributing factor. There are numerous symptoms like gas, bloating,

belching, muscle pain, skin disorders, insomnia, constipation,

diarrhea, and heartburn.

An inadequate digestive system will " steal " enzymes from the immune

system to operate therefore weakening immune function. Poor digestive

capability increases the body's toxic load.

Some areas of potential inadequacy are low pancreatic enzymes and

poor bacterial balance in the intestines. Too low or too high

hydrochloric acid in the stomach can also be a factor.

We can help our own immune systems by increasing the number of

friendly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli acidophillus in our lower

gastrointestinal tracts. This can be done with supplements. " Dr.

basically digestive issues you're dealing with. It's apparent that

your digestive system doesn't like most supplements . . . the fact

that you're burping a lot would point in that direction too.

to clean the old stuff out first. . . liver/gall bladder flushes,

coffee enemas, colonics, etc.
