Lessons from Jon Barron
Essential Functions of a Healthy Intestinal Tract    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron lists a number of the essential functions a healthy intestinal tract must perform.  "There is an old saying that 'death begins in the colon.' This is an oversimplification, to be sure, but more accurate than not. In fact, the road to health begins with intestinal cleansing and detoxification—no matter what the disease or problem. Unfortunately, most people confine their understanding of intestinal cleansing to its effect on fecal matter. And while it is true that cleansing programs do draw old fecal matter out of the colon, limiting the discussion to this misses the big picture. The digestive system in humans is essentially a continuous tube from the mouth to the anus. (Don't think about that the next time you kiss someone.) As a system, it performs several critical functions, ranging from digestion to immune support, with each part of the tube performing a specific function: - Digestion of the food we eat.
- Transferring the nutritional value of that food into the body.
- Processing the waste from that food and eliminating it from the body.
- Serving as a drain pipe for waste produced as a result of metabolic functions within the body itself.
- Serving as a drain for toxic substances absorbed through our lungs and skin.
- Functioning as a first line of defense in the body's immune system by identifying and eliminating viruses and unhealthy bacteria ingested with our food and water.
As you can see from this list, the digestive system is critical to your health and well-being. Any program of intestinal cleansing and detoxification, therefore, must address all of these aspects. Specifically, it must serve to: - Remove all old fecal matter and waste from the colon (to clear the drain, if you will).
- Help remove all the heavy metals and drug residues that have accumulated in the body as a result of having your drain plugged.
- Strengthen the colon muscle so that it works again.
- Repair any damage, such as herniations and inflammations of the colon and small intestine.
- Eliminate the presence of polyps and other abnormal growths that have been allowed to flourish because of an unhealthy intestinal environment.
- Rebuild and replenish the various 'friendly' bacteria cultures that ideally should line virtually every square inch of the tube—again, from mouth to anus."
