Truth Number One:

Inflammatory Bowel Conditions Are Not Diseases

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.

An Umbrella Term

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.

Taking a Deeper Look

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.

The Problem with the Autoimmune Model

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.”
