Gut Instincts

Ever wonder what your insides are up to? I do. All the time, in fact.

As a practitioner of alternative medicine, I've made long and intensive studies into our various body systems, including digestion/elimination. I know what's supposed to happen, what's normal versus common, and what is very very weird and potentially dangerous. I'm aware of a great many pathologies that affect our intestines, what they do, how they do it, and how to make it stop. I'm usually pretty successful at sussing out reasons why things hurt and knowing how to put a stop to it.

For example: Here is a picture of normal intestinal anatomy.

I especially like the butt cheeks under the anus.

Here is a picture of what villi look like under a microscope:

Like happy folds of rainbow. That's right, you have rainbows growin inside of you. These rainbows are what help you absorb nutrients in food. Rainbows are totally rad and deserve to be treated with respect. This is both because of their awesomeness, and because if you don't you PAY.

When something goes wrong with our rainbows, all kinds of crappy things start to happen. In celiac disease, the rainbows are wrecked by gluten particles, which strangle and destroy them like weeds in a flower garden, leaving the yard devoid of all colour and happiness. Undiagnosed celiac disease can lead to INSANITY. Yep, insanity. Because you destroyed your rainbows. Think about that.

Other stuff can ruin rainbows too. Excessive sugar, caffeine, milk, and other common "sensitivity" foods that are difficult to digest cling to your rainbows and make them gunky and murky.

This of course tends to lead to pain, or gas, or the extremes of constipation and diarrhoea, all of which we have all experienced at sometime or another.

The moral of the story:

Take care of your rainbows.

Or else you LOSE.
