Stomach Problems

One should not be so surprised that stomach problems are rampant in people today, especially in the Western world. No other nation of people has the high incidence of stomach problems like us Americans. When you consider the SAD (Standard American Diet), hectic work schedules, fast-paced lifestyles, and level of negative emotions (i.e. anger, hatred, frustration, worry, bitterness, etc.) we carry and execute every single day of our lives, it's plain to see why stomach problems are rampant.

There are many reasons and factors for stomach problems which I will elucidate herein, but before we get to the causes and effect and the solutions or remedies for stomach problems, let us first get a basic understanding of what the stomach is and what it does.

The word stomach derives from the Greek word stomakhos, meaning, gullet. The stomach is the major organ of digestion, located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and divided into a body and pylorus. It receives and partially processes food and drink funneled from the mouth through the esophagus and moves nutritional bulk into the intestines. The stomach lies in the epigastric and left hypogastric regions bounded by the anterior abdominal wall and the diaphragm between the liver and the spleen. The shape of the stomach is modified by the amount of contents, stage of digestion, development of gastric musculature, and condition of the intestines. It is lined with a mucous coat, a submucous coat, a muscular coat, and a serous coat, all richly supplied with blood vessels and nerves, and contains fundic, cardiac, and pyloric gastric glands.

Now of course, today you see many people with big, large, protruding stomachs and for the most part we know why these individuals have big, large, protruding stomachs, especially here in America - people eat too much! We prepare too much food for the current setting and there?s also too much food piled onto our plates.

Clearly diet, a poor diet, plays a pivotal role in stomach problems and disorders. Take meat (dead, slaughtered animal flesh) for example. Meat is too rough and tough on the stomach. It's hard for the acids in the stomach to digest meat. And while humans do have protease, an enzyme that breaks down protein, this protease was meant to break down natural protein which would be plant-based sources of protein, not dead slaughtered animal flesh that you call meat under its many umbrella terms, i.e. chicken, beef, lamb, pork, etc., that many people erroneously believe is a source of protein. Cooked animal flesh is NOT protein. You cannot cook a dead animal and get protein. When the animal is first killed and its flesh is raw, you have protein; but when you cut it up into different body part pieces and cook (alter) it, you don't have protein anymore. What you have is a serious poison to the body that greatly taxes the stomach and intestines.

Meat sits in the stomach and colon for days and just rots and putrefies allowing worms and parasites to enter into the body.

Meat breaks down into uric acid and this is not good for the stomach which is already acidic by nature. Eating meat adds more acid to the stomach.

And then you eat some liquid meat called dairy, which is nothing but female animal mammary excreta. Dairy is nothing but altered milk. Milk is another protein by definition that is processed and altered. Dairy products (milk, sour cream, ice cream, butter, and yogurt) convert into lactic acid inside the body. This occurs in the stomach. But remember, the stomach is already acidic.

So you see - one of the first causes of stomach problems is excess acid which leads to acid reflux. Acid reflux is a response of the Body Intelligence which attempts to remove the excess acid by making the acid go back up the stomach. Acid reflux burns (inflammation) because that's what acid naturally does - it burns! And because the poor heart also feels the heat of this acid-based inflammation, people usually call acid reflux heartburn and a literal burning of the heart is actually taking place. The heart is on fire due to all the acid in your digestive tract.

Because so much dead animal waste matter (meat) sits in the colon causing constipation, the Body Intelligence knows that the poor colon is overburdened and thus attempts to eliminate the excess acid via the mouth. Nine times out of ten, the owner of the mouth is a gluttonous ignoramus that eats out of habit or addiction; not for nutritional purposes, but out of habit (or addiction). Because most of this eating is of dead animal flesh (meat), dairy products (cow snot/mucus/pus), and starch (stiffening agent), the results of consuming such things lead to an uncomfortable feeling of fullness, heartburn, bloating and nausea that is medically termed or called dyspepsia, also known as indigestion.

Dyspepsia is an intestinal disorder and plays a role in the cause of peptic ulcers, gallbladder disease and chronic appendicitis. And what do your Masters and Rulers of the medical industrial complex tell you to do in response to indigestion (dyspepsia, heartburn)? They tell you to take certain antacids like Tums, Rolaids, Alka Seltzer or Pepto Bismol. Why? Well, because of the calcium they provide. Why calcium? Simply because calcium is alkaline and just happens to be the most alkaline mineral in the mineral kingdom.

But what you are not told or may not be aware of is this calcium that is used in these over-the-counter medications (legalized poisons) called antacids are oxide or inorganic in nature and thus cannot be digested and absorbed into the body and thus is a poison or toxin. Yes, you are consuming calcium oxide (school-board chalk, limestone) which the human body doesn't recognize as a necessary nutrient and due to desperation in trying to save the owner's life, the human body will attempt to use this synthetic or unnatural calcium in a gesture to counteract the excess acid.

So even though the Rulers and Masters in their medical industrial complex are prescribing and giving you the wrong kind of calcium, they are attempting to neutralize or balance the acid with alkalinity. This is why these medications are called antacid meaning anti-acids.

According to the Handbook of Over-The-Counter Drugs (1992) by GW Manning, Every year Americans spend millions of dollars on medical products to relieve acid indigestion and heartburn from periodic bouts of overeating and drinking.

Manning goes on to state the following: It seems you can hardly watch television or pick up a magazine without seeing an ad of some kind for an antacid product that claims to do wonders for indigestion. With lifestyles the way they are, eating on the run is a part of everyday living, and indigestion is the unwelcome fringe benefit. Medical statistics show that over twenty million Americans suffer daily from heartburn and these are the heaviest antacid users. Another one third of the population experiences occasional symptoms. And among pregnant women, 25% have daily heartburn and about half suffer distress at various times during pregnancy. Ibid, pg. 296 Manning offers sound facts and statistics which I concur with.

Manning also offers the following statement, antacid sales continue to show a healthy increase in sales, about five percent a year. That amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars annually, making antacids the fourth largest OTC (over-the-counter) category. Ibid, pg. 295

I have been saying for some time now that antacids are deleterious to health. Most brands contain not only harmful inorganic calcium, but also contain inorganic magnesium, aluminum (culprit in Alzheimer's disease); and aspirin (which breaks down into acetic acid which literally burns a hole through the intestinal walls and also causes ulcers).

Antacids contain magnesium and aspirin because of the headaches that are generally caused by or associated with acid indigestion or heartburn.

Many headaches are in fact bilious headaches and are thus caused by extreme acidosis. Bilious headaches result when there's too much acid in the digestive system and the gallbladder releases the green, bitter gall substance which is very alkaline. This is the body's natural attempt to counteract the acid in the digestive tract. Bile is the body's natural antacid. When you pass or defecate out dark green colored stools, this is a sign that you ate something very acidic in the past that taxed your system to the point that excess bile had to be released in an attempt to restore harmony in the digestive tract.

Many headaches are caused by stomach and intestinal (colon) problems which is why you really have to keep your colon clean and conditioned.

When I have headaches, my only apparent Achilles heel in life pertaining to health, I always perform an enema and get relief instantly. I always use an herbal laxative too in my enema solution. I follow the enema up with my Headache and Pain formula (6-9 capsules) and I'm fine.

I should also point out that if you take pharmaceutical antacids, you should know that they interfere with the body's ability to absorb iron. So if you're anemic or trying to prevent anemia, taking antacids will greatly affect you.

A bloated stomach is a condition most females can identify with, whether they're pregnant or on their menstrual cycle. Men too can identify with bloated sensations or feelings, especially if they love ice cream. I used to love me some Casket Robbins 31 Flavors back in the day. Oops, I?m sorry people. I meant to say Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors. That was some good tasting cow snot and pus back in the day, but because I was so health unconscious, it took me years to put together that this snot cream, opps, I mean ice cream, was the cause of my bloated feeling and flatulence. Eating this crap produced so much gas in me. I didn?t have a clue back then that I was lactose intolerant. But once I found out that the ice cream was undoubtedly the culprit of the bloated feeling and flatulence, I left Casket Robbins alone (although I picked up a new snot-eating habit in Snotgen Dazs or is it Haggen Dazs).

Dairy products cause a severe bloated sensation and flatulence. When women stop eating dairy and cleanse their temples out, these symptoms go away immediately.

Effervescent beverages like soda pop outright kill the stomach and colon. Soda pop is just too acidic. Wine, beer, alcohol and other spirits (evil spirits in bottles) also kill the stomach and colon.

When we hasten to masticate (chew) our food, we are also causing stomach problems. Eating on the run and trying to eat within a 30-60 minute lunch break on the neo-slave plantation (corporate job) forces us to scarf our food down without properly chewing it. We also have food on our fork, ready to eat our next bite before we've swallowed what's presently in our mouths. This negatively impacts the stomach and colon. Instead of chewing our food 30-60 times, we only chew our food 5-10 times before we swallow. The metaphysical causes of stomach problems cannot be overlooked. As I always say, most of us speak our diseases and injuries into existence.

How many times have you said or heard someone say, Damn, he/she makes me sick to my damn stomach! The word damn preceding any word describing a body part is what causes serious injury. Why? Well, because the word damn means to destroy....damn stomach! will destroy the stomach just like ...damn nerves! will destroy the nerves.

How many times have you said or heard someone else say I can't stomach this any more!

When you talk like this, you are calling into effect an energy that will manifest the saying. Words most certainly take on flesh. In the beginning was the word and the word became flesh is a true statement, at least in metaphysics. If you cant stomach someone or if something causes you the need to remove yourself from that person, place, or situation, they're or it's not worth your health.

How many times have you said or heard someone else say, That didn't agree with my stomach? We usually say this when we eat something that turns our stomach upside down. However, the reality of the situation is that we are dealing with something or some one in life and we're in a situation that we don't agree with and this subconsciously affects our judgment in eating. We usually end up eating something at that particular moment that we should not have eaten and in which we would have heard the warning from within if we were listening to ourselves.

Many times our body intuitively speaks to us and tells us not to eat a certain thing but we don't listen to the Body Intelligence (or intuition). Instead we follow our minds (ego) and subsequently we go down the wrong path and we pay dearly for it.

In energy or vibrational health and healing, the stomach is the site of the Second chakra which in the female is the seat of the female reproductive chamber (uterus, ovaries, etc.). Sexual relationships are formed here at this energy site and many women suffer stomach problems due to relationship problems. When you're upset or mad you can't eat or keep food down. The same applies when you're worried or stressed out about something. But when you're happy and feeling good you have no problems in eating. You eat, drink and are very merry like the saying goes. The Second chakra is the site of the pleasure principle. Most of our addictions are formed here. Lack of natural pleasure and joy are almost always made up or replaced by addictive behavior.

Americans are binge eaters, especially females, due to lack of love on the deepest levels of existence. Lack of natural love is made up or substituted with food.

Many people (especially females) are in unhealthy relationships that are very stressful (and that they can't stomach), which in turn causes stomach problems.

Stress is very damaging. You should always avoid stress. Stress is a sign that something is not right in your life. Stress is not natural. Stress is one of the many negative emotions that destroy mental, spiritual and emotional joy and happiness.

Stress, anger, hatred, worry, envy, jealousy, and bitterness are no good for the stomach. These negative emotions (energies) shut down the pleasure principle (Second chakra).

Have you ever noticed that when you are in love in the very early stages of a relationship, you really can't eat! Do you know why? It's because love itself feeds and nourishes you. Excitement is your diet. Your energy comes from the excitement of a new love interest. Your appetite for eating only comes back when you start getting used to your new mate or lover. There is a sign and wisdom in this for those who are wise.

Healing for stomach problems

Any good natural laxative and herbal bitter will help heal stomach problems. Good herbs for the stomach (and liver) are usually orange and yellow in color, i.e. Cascara Sagrada, Goldenseal, Bayberry, Tumeric, Ginger, etc.

Laxative herbs such as Cascara, Senna, Rhubarb, Aloe Vera resin, and Buckthorn will greatly help heal the stomach and intestines. Laxative herbs induce evacuation of the bowels. Dherbs.Com offers three powerhouse laxative formulas - Bowel Mover, Sen-Fen Formula and Colon Formula.

Carminatives are excellent for stomach problems. Carminatives are herbs that normalize digestive system peristalsis to relieve flatulence (gas) and include Anise Seed, Cayenne Pepper, Licorice, Basil, Cardamom Seed, Ginger Root, Cinnamon and Caraway. Carminatives are great as after dinner teas. Dherbs.Com carminative formula is called Digest-Aid and is very helpful in healing stomach disorders (i.e. ulcers, colitis, acid indigestion, etc.).

To eradicate stomach spasms, take antispasmodic herbs. Antispasmodic herbs are muscle relaxant herbs that relieve cramping and spasms and include Cramp Bark, Black Haw, Lady's Slipper (very expensive due to being rare); Wild Yam, Chamomile and Valerian Root.

Alkalizing the body via diet (consumption of raw, green foods) greatly helps in eradicating stomach problems, especially where there is excess acid. Dherbs.com's Electric Greens Cell Food is powerfully alkaline and contains many of the best green foods available including Alfalfa, Blue Green Algae, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Spirulina, Nettle and Chlorella.

The crystal Carnelian is a great stomach stone. Carnelian's beautiful bright to dark orange color resonates with the stomach energy. The color of the Second chakra is orange. Our stomach emits an orange color and also resonates with the D tone. The color orange and the D-tone (vibration) opens the Second chakra which in turn helps to balance our emotions predicated at this energy site. An elixir made of Carnelian is great to take for all stomach complaints and disorders. Carnelian fosters strength, hence intestinal fortitude.

Essential oils of Ginger, Peppermint and/or Wintergreen are excellent for stomach disorders. They work like a charm and bring near instant results. Simply rub a carrier oil (i.e. Olive, Castor, Almond, or Grape Seed oil) into your stomach and massage 1-3 drops of one of the essential oils supra into your stomach area. Do the same thing with the bottom or soles of your feet, this time using 3-5 drops on your soles.
