IBS and Debilitating Mucous
The matter science discipline struggles with the IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) attempting to use pharmaceuticals to manage symptoms but since it doesn't know the origin of disease, pharmaceuticals is the best that it can offer
The energy science model relates that the vast majority of disease begins in the GI tract This is why nutrition becomes the first mainstay of therapy Of course it depends on what kind of nutritional advice is given Molecular nutritional advice is at best guess work based on molecular guesswork as the molecular approach doesn't have a holistic approach
It's estimated that the US prevalence is about 8-16% of people have severe signs and symptoms of IBS The cost of providing care for this disease is a remarkable estimated 1.5 billion dollars(and that's without any definable treatment, therefore no solution) From my vantage point in dealing with patients.....it's much more than this as many patients don't seek medical consultation for minor symptoms that come and go And this makes sense because of what I just related about the origin of almost all chronic diseases
The Relationship of IC and IBS
From the energy science model the symptoms of IBS are related to poor digestive strength, or what is called agni in the energy science This leads to the increased qualities of hot, dry and mobile which leave the GI tract and lodge in weak bodily areas predisposed to disease This can lead to such disease enigmas as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome Anxiety related are also related to IBS, such as headache, TMJ, chronic pelvic pain disorders, and menstrual disorders
The symptoms of IBS are related to those after eating when gas and bloating occur with or without change in bowel pattern Hyperacidity of the stomach(functional dyspepsia) and GERD have higher than normal associations with IBS explained again from the energy science model
Understanding IBS and Mucous
Incapacitating IBS that is severe As I said earlier the cause of IBS is poor digestive strength Once this process of poor digestion is set in motion the accumulation of undigested unprocessed food leads to disruption of absorption and assimilation of food leading to toxicity
But all of these digestive disruptions lead to increased mucous production by the lining of the GI tract Because of the hot and dry qualities in the GI tract this mucous over time becomes thick and ropey and creates intermittent functional bowel obstruction, leading to bloating and pockets of gas Another serious problem with this inspissated mucous is that it is incredibly inflammatory producing severe cramping pain especially when it is being passed through the lower rectosigmoid and rectal segments of the large bowel
Over years this mucous becomes a major obstacle to clearing symptoms not only in the bowel but also the bladder And both systems create symptoms that interrelate causing a constellation of symptoms that are uninterpretable by the matter science doctors
What To Do?
If early on in symptoms using licorice or slippery elm can serve as demulcents to the problematic mucous Until the mucous is cleared the symptoms won't be relieved But the healing process of bowel recovery is another hurdle that has to be managed until the gas and bloating is controlled
The important realization to the management of these difficult situations is that the process of healing from an energy science view requires time There is no magic fix, no magic pill, no magic operation Only patience, diligence, and the courage to do the work
All the best in your healing journey DB
