SECTION 4 - DIGESTIVE AND VISCERAL PROBLEMS

  1. Can you explain what you know about hyperacidity, hiatal hernias, belching, flatulence, bloating, and why chewing gum is confusing to the body?
     

  2. I have a hernia in my groin for which I had surgery. It still bothers me and now I have been told that my prostate is enlarging. Is there a logical explanation for what is causing these problems using your approach?

 

16: Can you explain what you know about hyperacidity, hiatal hernias, belching, flatulence, bloating, and why chewing gum is confusing to the body?

The reason all of these symptoms are grouped together in one question is for the reason that they are all connected to one or two sets of circuitry. Assuming one has modified their diet according to the food combining approaches suggested in my book, they have discontinued eating on the run or under stress, they have really acknowledged and worked through any emotional life stresses, and they chew their food thoroughly, I will explain how the cranium, the jaw, and the digestive process all work together.

Digestive system
Digestive system

There is a circuit in the neurology of the jaw muscles that relates to the digestive process. When one open’s the mouth for food to enter, the reflexes in the jaw muscles communicate to the brain which then commands the cardiac valve (the valve between the esophagus and stomach) to open. When one bites, the stomach releases some acid in preparation for the first morsel of food to arrive in the stomach. During the action of chewing, the brain commands the intestinal muscles to contract (peristalsis), a churning action similar to chewing. Side grinding (an action required for high fibrous foods), stimulates the release of certain digestive enzymes needed to digest the high fibrous material. Finally, the action of swallowing stimulates the opening and closure of the one-way valves between the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum.

The above mentioned circuit works in a specific sequence like a factory line to break the food from large pieces into small pieces that are usable and absorbable by the body.

If one has had a cranial injury as explained in Answer 1, had any dental work, teeth pulled, etc, or had a trauma to the jaw, this circuit will likely be disorganized. Food will now be improperly broken down on its way through the body. The result will be that the food or acids regurgitates back out of the stomach (hiatal hernia and hyperacidity symptoms) since the command to the valve is weak. The food will be broken down improperly leading to fermentation, gas and bloating, and the immune system will have to spend much more energy digesting or even attacking unrecognizable partially broken down food particles (food sensitivities/allergies). One could be eating very healthy yet still have this process occurring.

One can now understand how chewing gum would confuse the body. The digestive system, based on the commands it is receiving from the jaw, believes that food is arriving any second, when really after some minutes of chewing, nothing has arrived. What is worse is that after fatiguing and confusing the digestive system by chewing gum for 10 or 15 minutes, one may remove the gum to actually eat a meal. The tired digestive system now sluggishly digests the food. Since the food now stays longer in the bowel tract, there is more time for fermentation resulting in belching, bloating, and flatulence.

N.O.T. protocols are very helpful with many digestive problems.

 

17: I have a hernia in my groin for which I had surgery. It still bothers me and now I have been told that my prostate is enlarging. Is there a logical explanation for what is causing these problems using your approach?

Pelvic Brim

Pelvic Brim

If you look at the pelvic bones and the pelvis, it forms a bowl. All of your intestines and some of the other organs sit in/on this bowl. Spread across and attached to the pelvic rim or top of the pelvic bowl are tissues suspended very much like cheesecloth suspended over a big mixing bowl. These tissues are what support your guts against gravity and keep them from pressing on your bladder and prostate (or the uterus for females).

If you understand my explanation in Answer 3 about gait faults, you can understand how the body would have to rotate one or both pelvic bones in compensation to the gait fault. This would spread the cheesecloth ligament at various areas, creating weak areas. These weak areas can sit undetected until one day the person lifts something heavy or forces down hard like having a bowel movement. The increased pressure inside of the abdomen force the bowels down, and part of the bowel squeezes through a stretched or weakened area of the tissue/cheesecloth. This is what causes the hernia. The tissue damage is secondary, which explains why the surgery was only palliative temporarily.

Inguinal Hernia
Inguinal Hernia

As the years progress, (remember the causative injuries usually start in childhood), the weakened tissue or cheesecloth cannot suspend the bowels and other structures off of the bladder and prostate/uterus. The result is that the bladder must be emptied more frequently and in women, the uterus tips or prolapses. In men, the prostate gland must now hold up more weight as the “roof above is sagging”. It’s response to the increased weight over the years is to enlarge, much like a body builders muscles would if they had increased demand.

When the prostate becomes large enough, it can press on the urethra (the tube that brings urine from the bladder out through the penis). The symptom of this will be difficulty urinating or dripping and trickling after finishing urinating. Many men have this condition and are keeping quiet for they fear the worst, that they will have prostate cancer. This is a relatively easy condition to correct using the Neural Organization Technique protocols.
