The Holistic Gastroenterology Method by Dr Alberto Snow (the gingerbread man read aloud .TXT) 📖

don’t really know the cause of IBD and that they don’t know how to effectively treat

 

it.

 

 

 

Think about it. Are people who are being treated for IBD through traditional medicine

 

being healed? Have you been healed? Why not? They only treat the symptoms. They

 

offer two options-drugs or surgery.

 

 

 

Don't you wish there was a third option? There is.

 

 

 

The first thing that you need to understand is that inflammatory bowel conditions are not

 

diseases. They aren’t syndromes or any other name you may have heard for them.

 

There is a much more logical explanation of what they are, and this is something that

 

you will learn as you read this book. Next, we will dispel another common myth about

 

the so-called “diseases.”

Chapter 2: Truth Number two

Let’s talk about another myth that is causing problems in modern medicine: the myth

 

that there are numerous and different types of gastrointestinal conditions. Doctors try to

 

put a name on it as if it were different, separate “diseases” – IBS, colitis, Crohn’s

 

disease, chronic constipation – but the truth is they are all the same condition. There is

 

only one condition, it is an inflamed bowel and there only being different degrees of

 

inflammation. To help you better see this, let’s look at some traits of each of these so-

 

called “diseases.”

 

 

 

 

 

IBS

 

 

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by bloating, nausea and diarrhea. According

 

to physicians, IBS is often caused by stress or foods that the suffering person has

 

chosen to eat. This is inaccurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colitis

 

 

Break down the word for a better understanding here. “Col” is referring to the colon and

 

“itis” refers to irritation or pain. Colitis is characterized by persistent or urgent diarrhea

 

and bowel pain. Another more severe form of this is called ulcerative colitis. This is

 

essentially when one has a hole or holes through the bowel wall and is characterized by

 

more acute pain and severe diarrhea and blood in the stool. This is inaccurate.

 

 

 

 

 

Crohn’s Disease

 

Crohn's occurs when there is a complete deterioration of the bowel. It is characterized

 

by even more severe diarrhea along blood and mucus in the stool.

 

 

 

This is definitely not a disease-none of them are- but is rather an extension of the other

 

names I have listed here & occurs when one does not receive the proper treatment. In

 

other words------you are doomed to eventually lose your colon. It does not have to be

 

this way.

 

 

Chronic Constipation

 

 

Finally, there is chronic constipation, which refers to a loss of bowel function because of

 

tissue that has become weak, eroded or irritated. This can manifest at any stage of the

 

other conditions or can appear all on its own. You do not need to have any of the other

 

symptoms to experience chronic constipation.

 

 

 

Now, I need to make one thing very clear. All of these are terms that conventional

 

medicine uses to describe what they consider to be different diseases. But, in reality,

 

they are all the same condition just in different stages of tissue deterioration. Different

 

stages manifest in different degrees of symptoms. The source of these stages and

 

symptoms is one condition, Acquired Inflammatory Bowel, which is a degenerative

 

manmade condition.

 

 

 

Again as I will repeat over and over-- there is only one condition-- all of the other

 

supposed conditions are nothing other than extensions of the original condition. It starts

 

out as a relatively small manmade injury and over time without the proper care, it gets

 

worse and worse. One big festering mess. This is where you were headed until you met

 

me.

 

 

 

Once the tissue has become damaged by Acquired Inflammatory Bowel, it will continue

 

to break down from exposure to digestive acids and fibrous foods. The more the tissue

 

gets damaged, the more severe the symptoms will become. This will not just go away

 

on its own. The tissue cannot regenerate itself.

 

 

 

One of the problems that doctors have when it comes to treating bowel conditions is

that they try to diagnose various conditions based on different parts of the intestine.

 

They break it up by the colon, the small intestine, the stomach— left side and right side.

 

But the truth is that it is all one unit. A condition that affects one part of the GI tract is the

 

same condition that would affect the other. If you had a sunburn you wouldn’t call one

 

location on your skin a different condition than any other. So it doesn’t make sense to

 

break up the different parts of the gastrointestinal tract. However, traditional doctors do

 

this, and this causes even more confusion as far as treatment goes.

 

 

 

And since doctors try to treat each “condition” and location differently, the problem

 

continues to get worse. Think of it like a pothole. It may start out small. But, as more

 

cars drive over it, it gets deeper and deeper, becoming more serious of a problem. Your

 

stomach and bowel are the same way. As acids and fibers pass over that damaged

 

area it continues to break down.

 

 

 

News Flash: Food has nothing to do with inflammatory bowel. It doesn't matter what

 

you eat. You can't eat your way out of or into these conditions. The only issue with food

 

is that in this already vulnerable state fibrous foods when dragged over this already

 

irritated tissue will irritate it more triggering even more severe symptoms.

 

 

 

Instead of using the traditional methods of trying to determine what part of the GI tract is

 

damaged, it is best to diagnose based on symptoms which tells us what is most

 

important, the amount damage to the tissue. Do you have blood or mucous in your

 

stool? Do you have pain and bloating? Do you have diarrhea? These are the kinds of

 

questions that an enlightened gastroenterologist will ask. These are symptoms. They

 

are body language. We want to listen to the body rather that blunting the symptoms with

 

drugs. Does your doctor speak body language?

 

 

 

Now, you are probably wondering just what Acquired Inflammatory Bowel is and how it

 

is manmade. That’s what we will address next.

 

 

 

Chapter 3: Truth Number Three

AIB, as I mentioned previously stands for Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. This is a

 

manmade condition. It isn’t natural. It isn’t genetic. It isn’t contagious. And, it most

 

certainly isn’t an autoimmune disease. You can’t get the condition from other people

 

due to an exchange of germs, viruses, or bacteria. You cannot get it from a toilet seat.

 

You cannot get this condition from eating a poor diet or from being stressed out. It

 

doesn’t work that way.

 

 

 

No Scientific Evidence

 

 

 

 

In fact, when it comes to all of the conditions we discussed in the previous chapter,

 

there is no scientific evidence that any of them are caused by genetics, nature,

 

contagions, diet, lifestyle or autoimmune disorders.

 

So, in reality, the conventional medical view of the conditions is simply a theory. That’s

 

right. Your doctor is guessing. And, do you really want to leave your health up to a

 

guess? Of course not.

 

And the fact that it is an inaccurate theory explains why there has been no conventional

 

medical success in treating inflammatory bowel conditions. Medical doctors are going

 

about it the wrong way, and as a result, a lot of patients are suffering when they don’t

 

have to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Difference with Acquired Inflammatory Bowel

 

 

 

Usually, when someone is sick, they look for something to blame. They got a virus.

 

They came in contact with bacteria. They got it because their parents had it. Their

 

immune system has gone haywire. They are grasping at straws. Anyone who has an

 

inflammatory bowel condition (no matter what the doctor may be calling it) actually has

 

Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. They acquired it, and there is only one cause of it.

 

 

The most important thing you need to know and understand is that this condition is manmade.

 

 

 

Now, imagine how much would be different if traditional medicine understood this. They

 

aren’t recognizing that this is a manmade condition. Instead, they are trying to break it

 

up into different categories and then give different causes and different treatments for

 

each. Doctors are simply not treating the condition correctly, and it is a perpetual

 

problem that you will suffer for as long as your colon can hold out or until you met me.

 

It's nice to meet you.

 

 

 

You will not get off that merry go round until you get lucky. Unless it is your destiny to

 

read this powerful little book.

 

 

 

There is no way that traditional medicine will ever cure an inflammatory bowel condition.

 

It is impossible.

 

 

 

The good news is that there is a cure for Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. Next we will

 

discuss the one cause of AIB.

 

Chapter 4: Truth Number Four

There Is Only One Cause of Acquired Inflammatory Bowel

 

 

Now that we have established that there is only one condition: Acquired Inflammatory

 

Bowel, let’s discuss how there is only one cause of it. Right now, traditional doctors are

 

so focused on finding a variety of different causes for the supposed different diseases

 

(like chasing ghosts – they don't exist) that is why they have never found it. They have

 

overlooked the actual root cause of the condition. By not knowing the cause, they also

don’t know how to heal the illness.

 

 

So, since we now know that all of the supposedly different bowel conditions are the

 

same thing, we can give it one name and search for its one cause. Acquired

 

Inflammatory Bowel is a manmade injury to your GI tract – not a genetic illness, virus, or

 

an autoimmune disease. It is an injury and has to be handled so. There is no such

 

conditions such as IBS, colitis or Crohn's. There is only one condition—Acquired

 

Inflammatory Bowel.

 

 

The Problem with Antibiotics. A Double Edged Sword

 

 

Acquired Inflammatory Bowel is connected to one cause: the introduction of synthetic

 

antibiotics into the body via oral and topical medicines and that are present in our food,

 

water, toiletries, and household cleaners. They are everywhere and they are effective at

 

killing bacteria---the ones we don't want and unfortunately the ones we need to live. The

 

trouble is that sometimes we need them but also sometimes, they will devastate our GI

 

tract. Sometimes they save life-sometimes they kill, but they always negatively impact

 

our GI tract.

 

 

Essentially, these are extremely strong drugs. So strong that they change the terrain in

 

the GI tissues and cause them trauma. In fact, this new breed of drugs is so powerful

 

they can kill the most potent bacteria on the planet----anthrax.
