Lessons from Jon Barron
Improving Health Through the Intestinal Tract
In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron makes clear why any program designed to improve health must begin with the intestinal tract. 
"The foundation of any health or healing program must begin with the intestinal tract—not necessarily because it is inherently more important than any other system or organ in the body, but because it's the area of the body upon which we focus our greatest abuse, and because it impacts virtually every other system in the body.
Your intestinal tract is the source of all nutrient access to your body. If it isn't working properly, you have two major problems. First, you have a hard time digesting food properly—breaking it down sufficiently so that your body can use it. And then, even if you can digest it properly, if the intestinal wall is covered with hardened waste and colonies of hostile bacteria, you'll end up absorbing only a fraction of the nutritional value of the food you eat.
In addition, the colon is the main elimination channel of the body. It is the means by which we eliminate the toxic waste of the digestive process, including massive amounts of E. coli bacteria and parasite larvae. If that waste hangs around longer than necessary, its impact on the body is profound.
We've already discussed how waste from the lymph system passes out through the colon, but so too does waste from the liver. The liver filters out dangerous drug residues and poisons from the blood and passes them out of the body through the colon via the bile duct. Plug the colon and everything backs up—the net result is sickness and disease. The important point to remember here is that you can't even begin to cleanse and repair the other systems in the body until you clean out the colon so that the toxic material will have a path out of the body.
Physically, the colon is not designed to store large amounts of old fecal matter. If you have pounds of extra garbage in there, there's only one thing that can happen; the colon must distend and expand. This causes the walls of the colon to thin out (like blowing up a balloon more and more). As the walls extend out, they press on and compress other organs in the abdominal cavity. Also, old fecal matter is an ideal breeding ground for harmful bacteria and dangerous parasites.
Any program, then, designed to improve our health or to eliminate disease from our bodies must begin with intestinal cleansing and detoxification. It is the 'sine qua non' of health (literally, 'without which, there is not')."
