Gastro-intestinal tract

The main functions of the stomach are the deposition, mechanical and chemical processing of food, the evacuation of the bowels. This is a very complex organ. He is also involved in maintaining homeostasis in the body in the water-salt metabolism, the kidneys, glands, circulation.

H. Shelton, in his book on fasting detail about the treatment of hunger diseases such as stomach ulcers and colitis. Let us discuss these most common diseases of the stomach and intestines.

Peptic ulcer disease and starvation

Gastric ulcer there are pains in the stomach, appearing on an empty stomach or at night, there may be heartburn, vomiting, bleeding (with perforation). Diagnosis is necessary to gastroscopy and other special surveys. It is considered that plagues the lower esophagus, stomach and upper duodenum arise from the stimulation of gastric juice of the walls of these organs. This concept, no doubt, controversial - it has many opponents. Obviously, there are some internal changes in the chemical composition of bodies, and they make the stomach work poorly. Often a big role in this assign stress. As a result, the inner wall of the stomach vulnerable to the adverse effects of gastric juice, which leads to ulceration and perforation. But the process of destruction of the walls of the stomach is very slow. In a healthy organism, this does not happen ever, no matter how much hydrochloric acid is not singled out the stomach.

It is considered that a gastric ulcer - a disease of business people. But under constant stress, it can occur even in the child.

Ulcers healed, but if you are fond of alcohol, coffee, aspirin and pain medications, they will appear again. Smoking, alcoholism, mental stress contribute to the emergence and exacerbation of the disease.

Heartburn, even longer, there are those in whose diet carbohydrates, starches, sugars, which can lead to irritation of the stomach wall and esophagus.

Before the advent of ulcer patients usually suffer from colitis, gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Medication, lifestyle, wrong power supply system over time lead to the constant irritation of the walls, and then - to their ulceration, possibly bleeding. The development of this process can result in cancer. Two diseases: ulcers and cancer - two stops on a long journey. Asphyxia causes tissue anoxia. Active degeneration of tissues - paralysis. Cancer - a passive degeneration of cells from asphyxia. Links in this chain - the weakening of irritation, inflammation, induration, ulceration, tumor.

During exacerbation requiring hospitalization, rest, frequent and regular meals. For the prevention of exacerbations in spring and autumn it is recommended to switch to split meals and receive funds scientific and traditional medicine.

Getting rid of the irritation of mucous membranes also allows the post: a three-day fasting is sufficient to reduce the secretion of gastric juice, and one that stands out - slightly acidic. Fasting eliminates three types of stimuli: mechanical, caused by particles of solid food, causes contraction of the stomach wall, food processing, chemical, associated with gastric juice. Many doctors believe that fasting, bed rest, rest - wonder-working assistants.
