D.D. Indigestion is the most common illness affecting human beings. Thou shalt not poison thyself. We are not what we eat, but the nutrients we digest, absorb, assimilate and utilize. To eat is heavenly, to digest, absorb, assimilate and utilize, is divine.
Nutritional deficiencies create imbalances in body chemistry.
The continued use of refined foods, overeating, eating wrong combinations of foods, eating foods that are too cold or too hot, eating when emotionally upset, use of condiments, overwork, loss of sleep, lack of rest with the eyes closed, stimulation and food deficiencies, etc., all contribute to the debilitated state that ultimately result in gastrointestinal disorders. All diseases of the gastrointestinal tract arise from a condition of severe toxicosis. The digestive tract, gastointestinal tract or alimentary canal, is a 25-30 feet long tube that begins with the mouth and ends with the anus. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine and the colon, which is also called the large intestine. The liver and pancreas aid in digestion, but are not part of the digestive tract.
