Many, many years ago, one of my greatest mentors told me: "Vera, no matter what you do in life... never forget!! Death sits in the gut!!
Yeah, yeah, I thought to myself back then. Heard it, noted it down… but understood it? Not back then. An age-old saying we often use… but do we really know what it means?
I doubt it, because if we understood it, we often wouldn't be so careless.
So……………… I will now attempt to explain this very important sentence to you in simple words (I hope it works).
Looking at the intestines from an anatomical perspective, one might get the impression that road planners were at work here, unsure of their destination. It's crisscrossing, winding, twisting, thick and wide, as well as thin and misshapen. Well... that's just how it is, and nobody gives any thought to WHY it is that way.
Well… it's not that complicated. Because, as many don't realize: our bodies came with a crystal ball when they developed in the womb and knew that the human species has few natural eating instincts, but rather follows the craving for goodness. And so that everything doesn't just pass straight through, but that what we give us can be used effectively and efficiently, the body sends the food on a long journey to examine it, break it down, and sort it like in a laboratory, ultimately classifying it from useful to "can be thrown away." We're familiar with this "can be thrown away" category through our daily trips to the toilet.
To keep things organized, our gut contains many tiny helpers, the so-called gut bacteria, each with its own specific task. Well-organized, efficient, and working hand in hand. It's a full-time job with its own food supply, replenished by our daily food intake. However, as in any large organization, there are always a few that go rogue, especially when they're flooded with substances that force them to multiply and overzealously perform their duties. And suddenly, the system is disrupted. No more working hand in hand; now we have a group on hand whose overzealousness is tearing apart everything in sight.
This includes the intestinal flora, specifically the intestinal walls. This damage is caused by overactive, countless tiny helper bacteria that were originally responsible for the acids produced during the chemical breakdown process, as well as by the acids themselves. This leads to tears in the intestinal wall.
Intestinal chaos!! And instead of heeding the distress signals (diarrhea, nausea, discomfort), we obediently carry on because: "They'll sort themselves out down there." But... if we pay attention to our "symptoms," these "distress signals" manifest as loss of appetite and vomiting. I wonder why!!
What should normally be considered "waste" and transported outwards can now pass unhindered through a fragile intestinal wall and flood the body from within. This system is comparable to a dam that has developed cracks. However, it's not primarily water that's leaking through, but rather... acids!
And that brings us to the point. The term "acidosis" is becoming widespread, and if it isn't addressed, we notice the effects quite quickly. Joint pain, fatigue, exhaustion, allergies, headaches, and so on. Aging processes also fall into this category.
If one of these symptoms becomes noticeable, we act on a case-by-case basis. We maintain and care for this "problem area" without identifying the cause or restoring it to its well-functioning structure.
And this very system, which WE know so well, also exists in our animals. Allergies, skin problems, laminitis (in individual cases), osteoarthritis, arthritis, and much more are largely caused by these factors.
And those who think further... will understand my thoughts on the cell powder many times more.
