For a very long time, traditional medicine has been
taught the wrong thing, leading to a great deal of misinformation transmitted
to patients as well. In fact, there are three basic ways that misunderstanding
has continued in the medical world:
ü Doctors have been
taught that the cause of the various inflammatory bowel conditions is yet
unknown. If pressed on this they will acknowledge that this is a theory.
ü They have also been
taught that inflammatory bowel conditions are probably the result of being
infected by germs or by the body’s own immune system attacking the colon.
ü Finally, they have been
taught that there is no cure for inflammatory bowel conditions, so they often
admit that there is no medical treatment that works.
However, all of these statements are erroneous. And in
order to effectively treat the condition, it is important that we establish
what it actually is first.
Inflammatory bowel disease is not a condition in itself.
Instead, it is a misnomer, an umbrella term, or catch all, used by physicians
and medical professionals to refer to:
ü Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS
ü Colitis
ü Ulcerative Colitis
ü Crohn’s Disease
ü Chronic Constipation
However, none of these properly describe the actual
condition. In fact, the best term for this bowel issue is Acquired Inflammatory
Bowel.
While traditional medicine believes that the
conditions named above are separate diseases, they aren’t. They aren't diseases
at all and there is really only one condition. They are confused and they
confuse us. To better understand this, let’s look at the terms used by
conventional medicine to describe them.
According to WebMD, the definition of inflammatory
bowel disease is:
“The term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes a
group of disorders in which the intestines become inflamed. The likeliest cause
is an immune reaction in the body against its own intestinal tissue.” (WebMD)
Take note of something in that definition: it says
“the likeliest cause.” There is no
published research that proves IBD is an autoimmune condition. This explains
why treating IBD as an autoimmune disease
doesn’t work.
According to the Wikipedia page on the subject,
“An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune
system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue by mistake.” (Wikipedia)
Really? Our immune system just makes a mistake and
starts attacking our GI tract for no reason whatsoever? And that mistake is all
of a sudden being made in millions of people all at the same time? Like nature
just flipped the switch? What an inexplicable coincidence. There is no science
that supports this. It is a guess. A theory. This does not make sense,
especially when it is a theory coming from people who acknowledge they don’t really know the cause of IBD and that
they don’t know how to effectively treat it.
Think about it. Are people who are being treated for
IBD through traditional medicine being healed? Have you been healed? Why not? They only treat the symptoms. They
offer two options-drugs or surgery.
Don't you wish there was a third option? There is.
The first thing that you need to understand is that
inflammatory bowel conditions are not diseases. They aren’t syndromes or any
other name you may have heard for them. There is a much more logical
explanation of what they are, and this is something that you will learn as you
read this book. Next, we will dispel
another common myth about the so-called “diseases.”
