Digestive System Problems
In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron elaborates on the problems that can occur in the digestive system. 
"Diseases of the digestive system have reached an all time high in the United States and are still on the rise. In 1985, 60–70 million Americans were affected by digestive disorders. Today, it's over 100 million. The number two cancer among men and women combined is colorectal cancer, trailing only lung cancer. The incidence of diverticulosis has increased dramatically from just 10 percent of the adult population over the age of 45 who had this disease in 1952 to an astounding "every person has many" diverticuli, according to the 1992 edition of the Merck Manual. In other words, according to the latest medical studies, virtually all American adults will eventually have diverticulosis of the large intestine if they live long enough.
Digestive disorders are responsible for over 50 million physician visits and more hospitalizations than any other category of medical problem in the United States. The total cost to the American public for all aspects of digestive disease is well over $100 billion per year. The most prevalent digestive diseases include:
It is worth noting that many other diseases that at first glance appear to have no connection with the digestive tract have actually been related by many doctors to functional bowel disorder. These include diabetes, gallstones and kidney stones, gout, hypertension, varicose veins, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and obesity.
As if that were not enough, it has been estimated that as many as 80 percent of Americans are afflicted with intestinal parasites. Many health professionals would dispute this number, calling it far too high, and if you limit your discussion of parasites to things such as tapeworms and Chinese liver flukes, they are correct. But as soon as you open up to the true nature of the problem and include the lesser known, but far more prevalent, parasites such as Fasciolopsis buskii, the 80 percent figure begins to fall into line. And if you include pathogenic E. coli and Candida yeast overgrowths, then the 80 percent figure is decidedly conservative.
Symptoms of parasites include nervousness, grinding of the teeth at night, aches and pains that move from place to place in the body, mimicked appendicitis, ulcers and various digestive pain, nausea or diarrhea, itching, acne, foul breath, furred tongue, jaundice, fatigue, menstrual irregularities, and insomnia.
More doctors are becoming aware of how endemic yeast infections such as Candida albicans truly are. Symptoms include chronic fatigue (especially after eating), depression, bloating and gas, cramps, chronic diarrhea or constipation, rectal itching, allergies, severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS), impotence, memory loss, severe mood swings, recurrent fungal infections (such as athlete's foot), extreme sensitivity to chemicals (perfumes, smoke, odors, etc.), and lightheadedness or drunkenness after minimal wine, beer, or sugar ingestion."
