People eating the same diet and living a similar lifestyle commonly experience different health issues and biochemical imbalances.

The reason for this phenomenon is that most health problems and nutritional deficiencies are not due to nutritional deficiencies from the outside as much as they are to metabolic dysfunctions from the inside.

These dysfunctions cause an ineffective and inefficient use of nutrients and metabolic balances. The body’s metabolism works properly for the betterment of health only if its organs and glands are properly functioning.

The health of the GI (gastrointestinal) tract is proportional to overall health and reflects strongly on the body’s abilities to adapt to aging issues. Every inner organ, gland, and the other internal parts (collectively called viscera) have a position and movement key to its inner functions for optimal health and well-being.
The serous membranes that envelop every organ and gland and the connective fasciae, ligaments, omenta, mesentery, muscular supports, and intracavitary pressure or turgor are all specifically designed to play a vital role in healthy physiological functions.

The body’s glands, organs, and viscera have two forms of specific physiologic motions — visceral mobility and visceral motility:

• Visceral mobility. This is movement in response to voluntary activities, such as walking, exercising, stretching, or performing yoga.

Visceral mobility also occurs in response to breathing. The diaphragm, acting like an internal pump or piston, massages and moves inner parts to move fluids and pump digestive fluids, enzymes, bile, assimilate our nutrients, and hundreds of other inner functions as a way of maintaining health.

Visceral mobility also manifests from peristaltic motion and cardiac motion.

• Visceral motility. This is the inherent motion of each of the viscera — a sort of inner individual resonance or vibration that each part has and can be felt by the trained hand with experience.

All the viscera are designed to function with these movements, without any restriction, fixation, adhesion, or impairment of these healthy movements. If these movements are impaired or modified — even slightly — a dysfunctional impairment of the organs, glands, and viscera in general results. Because of the frequency of these movements, impairment has a potentially

pathological effect.

From heartburn to hemorrhoids, a person’s intestines rule over feeling great and having a body with a strong constitution, or having a weak constitution with a body that doesn’t adapt well to the aging process. Breakdowns can occur in the complex regulatory networks of the body just as they can occur in complex systems, such as computers or business functions.

HOMEOPATHY TO THE RESCUE

Restoring intestinal regulatory integrity and strength awakens and activates the body’s optimal functions to attain and maintain great health.

In order to activate healthy intestinal regulation and functional integrity it is important to:

• Strengthen and correct glitches in the intestinal health functions;

• Optimize overall health proactively and preventively;

• Rebuild chronic weak digestive systems and stop recurring digestive problems; and

• Overcome chronic, recurring resistant health problems throughout the body.

Homeopathy works deep within the body to help it become stronger and more resistant to glitches in the systems that can prevent people from living a stronger, more resistant, life capable of handling more diversity and greater stresses without easily being thrown off-center.

Homeopathy has a tremendous and well-documented success rate in restoring intestinal health. Restoration, in turn, positively affects the quality of life and betters overall health.

Many official homeopathic remedies activate the body’s ability to restore specific conditions of the GI tract. (See the accompanying chart, “Conditions and cures,” page 32.)

Homeopathy works to activate the body’s natural innate ability to heal and maintain vibrant health. Without the valuable components of homeopathy, other treatments (whether conventional or nutritional) may not correct the malfunctions within the energetic and metabolic control systems of our body.

Homeopathy equips the body to go beyond the parameters of the biochemical realm of life and correct interferences within its bioenergetic control systems. It gives us the opportunity to experience unprecedented high levels of health and wellness.
