Slide 9: The Digestive System Is:
The Digestive System Is: • Transformer of food into energy • Builder and repairer of tissues • A conveyor belt of sorts; an assembly line in reverse • A muscular tube 30 feet long from mouth to anus
Slide 10: Anatomy of Digestion
Anatomy of Digestion • Begins in the mouth • Mixes with saliva which contains Ptyalin • Ptyalin (amylase) dissolves food immediately and saliva provides lubrication • We produce about a quart and a half of saliva everyday!

Slide 12: Anatomy of Digestion
Anatomy of Digestion The Journey of Food… • Mouth‐esophagus‐stomach • In the stomach food is mixed with hydrochloric acid (HCL) and pepsin (enzyme). This is called ‘chyme’ • Chyme enters small intestines by way of the pyloric sphincter • 1st part of the small intestine is known as the Duodenum
Slide 13: Anatomy of Digestion
Anatomy of Digestion The Duodenum and Bile Duct • Here chyme is broken down further with help of the Pancreas and Liver/Gallbladder • These organs attach to Duodenum by the common bile duct • They dump in enzymes (catalysts) and bile salts (fats) • All to help digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fat
Slide 14: Anatomy of Digestion
Anatomy of Digestion • Pancreas produces Amylase (for carbohydrates), Insulin and Glucagon • Liver produces bile to digest fats • Gallbladder is a storage facility for extra bile
Slide 15: Anatomy of Digestion
Anatomy of Digestion The Small Intestines cont. • The 2nd part of the small intestines after the Duodenum is called the Jejunum. The 3rd part is the Ileum • The 3 parts together absorb starches, proteins, and fats • The chyme is then broken further down into smaller “nutrients”
Slide 16: Ileocecal Valve
Ileocecal Valve The Small Intestines cont. • This ends at an important junction called the illeocecal valve. This valve controls mucous and exit of chyme into the large intestine (colon)
Slide 17: The Large Intestine
The Large Intestine • 3 parts as well: Ascending Colon, Transverse Colon, and Descending Colon • Descending Colon empties into a “S” shaped area called the Sigmoid Colon • Fecal matter is formed for elimination throughout the entire colon • Water is reabsorbed. B‐Vitamins are absorbed. Toxins are co
Slide 18: Interesting System Facts:
Interesting System Facts: • There are more organs in your Digestive system than any other system! • 2/3 of all your body parts are found here • You use up to 2/3 of your daily energy supply just to “digest and clean‐house” • The Average American consumes 40 tons of food in a lifetime!
Slide 19: Have you heard that you are what you eat?
Have you heard that “you are what you eat?” Rather than, “You are what you eat” How about: “You are what you absorb!”
Slide 20: Primary Problems with this System:
Primary Problems with this System: • Transit Time • Lack of Enzymes • Lack of Probiotics • Hiatus (Hiatal Hernia) • Lack of HCL
Slide 21: Transit Time
Transit Time • A measure used to denote how long it takes for food to go thru this 30 foot tube • Normally about 24 hrs • Muscles all along your digestive system push chyme along. This is called “peristalsis” • Can be too fast or too slow • Analogy: The Train Station…
Slide 22: The Natural Health Definition of Bowel Movement
The Natural Health Definition of Bowel Movement: • Every time you eat! (should produce a bowel movement) • Like trains into a train station. One goes in, one should go out • Think about feeding babies or puppies! What happens next? • Human digestive system can only process 3‐4 meals per day adequate
Slide 23: But the Dr. Told Me…
But the Dr. Told Me… • You may have been told that one bowel movement a day is normal for you • Not if you consider this: – You’ve eaten three times today…you have 1 movement. SO far ok. You leave 2 trains in the station….however, the next day there are 4 trains. The next day 6, and so on. • How bac
Slide 24: Enzymes
Enzymes • Enzymes completely digest your food and allow for complete absorption • Do we possess enough for a lifetime? • Yes, until we consider foods are de‐natured, processed, boxed, and refined • The Human body wasn’t designed for “shelf‐life” and “cooked” (heat destroys enzymes) foods • Non‐cooke
Slide 25: Enzymes cont...
Enzymes cont... • Enzymes are required for detoxification too • Enzymes turn fat soluble toxins into water soluble toxins for easy elimination • Less enzymes = more toxicity • Balance pH in our systems • They reduce overall inflammation
Slide 26: Probiotics (Pro-life)
Probiotics (Pro‐life) • Opposite of Anti‐biotics (anti‐ life) • Prevent harmful organisms/parasites from making your digestive system their home • Supplement our diets by manufacturing additional vitamins • Provide immunity
Slide 27: 75% of Our Immune System
75% of Our Immune System • Found throughout this system, mostly the Colon, probiotics account for roughly 75% of our immunity • Normally we should have around 10x “100 trillion” of these friendly bacteria in our intestines • Up to 10% of your total body weight! • Acidophilus/Bifidophilus most known
Slide 28: Where do They Come From?
Where do They Come From? • Probiotics “inoculate” us at birth. Usually thru the vaginal canal • Additional inoculation from breast feeding
Slide 29: Friendly Flora Problems
Friendly Flora Problems • Use of anti‐biotics, chemicals, drugs, and the standard American diet (lack of pre‐biotics), deplete our populations • The health of our internal environment (intestines) also determines population • Our current health system not only dismisses enzymes but also the need for
Slide 30: Hiatus
Hiatus • Occasionally part of the stomach ventures “up top”. Permits backflow of chyme into the esophagus. Heart burn! • Often misdiagnosed as ulcer or heart disease. Symptoms: pain, breathing difficulty, and acid reflux
Slide 31: Emotion Affects Motion:
Emotion Affects Motion: • The stomach has 35 million tiny glands pouring out 2‐3 quarts of juice everyday • Emotions effect our stomach and these juices • Keep your emotions in check when eating • Eat with less distractions and be calm • Difficult emotions lead to difficult digestion (Hiatus)!
Slide 32: HCL
HCL • Our Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is corrosive enough to dissolve a razor blade! • The stomach is lined with mucus as a barrier to HCL • The lining of the stomach sheds cells at a half‐million a minute • The stomach replaces itself every 3 days. (so HCL is not detrimental to us)
Slide 33: So is HCL Bad?
So is HCL Bad? • The antacid industry (a multi‐ billion dollar one) wants you to think so • Although helpful (antacids), not the answer to heartburn or acid reflux • HCL is for breaking down protein, destroying microbes that are bad, stimulating enzymes/organs/bile • Treatments aimed at neutralizing
Slide 34: Should We Stop HCL Production?
Should We Stop HCL Production? • No, we need it. Especially after around age 40 • Poor diets, overeating, and gulping food, create “heartburn”. Heartburn is: A LACK OF HCL – NOT AN EXCESS! • Lack of HCL = protein malnourishment
Slide 35: More on the HCL Issue
More on the HCL Issue • Improper levels of HCL lead to “acidity” • The blood (pH imbalance) becomes toxic • Mineral deficiency will result • Blood looks for minerals to combat acidity • Steals Calcium form your bones • Low stomach acid = acidic blood = low minerals
Slide 36: Symptoms of HCL Imbalance:
Symptoms of HCL Imbalance: • Bloating • Flatulence • Heartburn • Diarrhea • Constipation • Acne • Chronic Candida • Food allergies • Immune problems
Slide 37: Natural Support
Natural Support • Diet • Exercise • Water • Fiber • Detoxification • Quality NSP Supplements
Slide 38: Diet
Diet • Proper diet = Proper care of this system • Fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and seeds • Proteins should be lean and high quality, carbohydrates better if complex, fats unsaturated and of the essential fatty acid variety (omega 3’s, 6’s and 9‘s)
Slide 39: Chew your Food 25 Times!
Chew your Food 25 Times! • Powerful and inexpensive. Doesn’t cost you anything to do this! • Turn your solids into a liquid, even your liquids into a liquid • Gives time for the digestive system to tell you that you are full • Ensures proper digestion and breakdown (absorption) • Assists in weight l
Slide 40: Exercise
Exercise • ANY exercise is good • Working your muscle groups improves muscles around your intestines (peristalsis)! • Sit‐ups (rectus‐ abdominus/solar plexus muscle groups) and Kiegels (perineum area‐ for the Colon) works wonders…
Slide 41: Water
Water • Clean, fresh and plenty of it! • Avoid constipation by drinking more water • Invest in water filtration. Save your health and our environment from plastic • Drink a full glass one‐half hour before meals. If no longer hungry, you were thirsty • Try eating a full meal without any liquids. If s
Slide 42: Fiber
Fiber • 30 years ago advised 10g/day • 20 years ago advised 20g/day • Today 30‐40g/day • 5 kinds of fiber – 3 soluble (pectin, mucilage, and gum) and 2 insoluble (cellulose & hemi‐cellulose) • With fiber we feel “full”. Decreases appetite • Helps with ease of bowel movements • Sweeps out toxins, low
Slide 43: Detoxification (purging the bowels)
Detoxification (purging the bowels) • Dates back to 2,500 B.C. (Egypt) • Greeks favored saline enemas • American Indians pioneered herbals (like Cascara Sagrada) • It is more important today than ever! • Chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, colorings, flavorings, etc. did not exist prior
Slide 44: Clean the Chimney!
Clean the Chimney! • Like a chimney, we need to clean it from time to time, to avoid a fire • Estimated the avg. American has 5‐25 pounds of undigested fecal matter in them at all times! • Does not include chemical mixtures of our fecal matter. How toxic are we? • The system is overworked from poiso
Slide 45: Off to a Clean Start
Off to a Clean Start • Psyllium hulls mild, bulk‐forming laxative • Aloe vera juice Contains aloin, which helps support intestinal muscle tone. • Chlorophyll—Helps fight off odors like halitosis and body odor.
Slide 46: Clean Start
Clean Start • Like an internal soap • Contains fiber • Full of scrubbers and movers • It is not enough to just move the bowels (transit time), we also need to scrub it clean! • Improves the internal environment • Dietary cleanser and detoxifier
Slide 47: Clean Start
Clean Start • Increases energy • Nourishes 5 main parts of the digestive system (such as the Liver, Colon, etc.) • Promotes healthy colonic environment • Supplies 10g of your fiber needs daily • Contains Lactobacillus sporogenes to help populate friendly flora
Slide 48: Food Enzymes
Food Enzymes • Optimizes food digestion and absorption • Digests fats, carbohydrates and proteins • One capsule will digest 30 grams of protein, 30 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of fat.
Slide 49: Enzymatic Relief
Enzymatic Relief • A multi enzymatic formula • Formulated with Pepsin (HCL) • Pancreatin • Mycozyme • Papain • Bromelain • Bile Salts • Lipase
Slide 50: Stomach Comfort
Stomach Comfort • Natural help for occasional stomach upset • Calcium Carbonate to help neutralize acid • Algin and Slippery Elm to protect esophagus and sooth digestive tract • Ginger, Papaya, and Licorice to support digestion • Chew 1‐2 for quick relief
Slide 51: Re-Inoculate with Probiotic Eleven
Re‐Inoculate with Probiotic Eleven • 2 capsules of enteric coated capsules of Probiotic Eleven contain over 11 billion good guys! • Includes Bifidophilus and Acidophilus • Smart choice to always take after anti‐biotic therapy
Slide 52: Digestive System Solutions
Digestive System Solutions • Proactazyme : a plant‐sourced enzyme that facilitates digestion and improves nutrient absorption. This enzyme supplement also helps turn fat‐soluble materials and waste into water, which helps detoxify the digestive system and improves elimination. • Anti‐Gas TCM: Its Ch
Slide 53: Conclusion
Conclusion • The Digestive system, with 2/3 of all your organs, maintains energy, cells, tissues, and keeps you functioning • Each day processes 2.5 gallons of food, liquids, and bodily secretions into 12 ounces of waste. Very efficient indeed! • Every system in your body is affected by its function
