Yup— That’s right— in the right context— Like if you have some Inflammatory Bowel Condition-diarrhea and mucus in your stool they are your friend. They are your body’s way to protect you against the manmade conditions such as IBS-Colitis-UC- Crohn’s -Leaky Gut and Diverticulitis. The fundamental issue that is universal in all of these conditions is that your stomach acids and foods- primarily roughage/fiber inflame and erode the GI tissue. How did we get this way? By ingesting or being exposed externally to something that is antibacterial-as in your mucosal lining – in all of your mucosal membranes– sinus-lungs- GI and urinary tract/bladder. W/o this the body reacts by- in a self preservation move to help you-dumps lot’s of water into the bowel to dilute the stomach acids-to reduce the amount of damage to the tissue and to move everything out asap = diarrhea. When over time because of personal negligence or malpractice by your uninformed– using last millenium’s clueless protocols = drugs and surgery doctors this continues unabated. Now the body calls on the immune system to dump mucus in the bowel as a last ditch effort to prevent the acid from burning a hole-perforation right through your gut = Colitis. If you still go on w/o proper care you will eventually find blood in your stool-which means that the acid penetrated deep enough to eat a hole through a blood vessel= Ulcerative Colitis. W/O the body’s help–all of this could happen in weeks– instead of months and years. So— now you see why I say–Hip- Hip Hoorah-THANK GOD FOR DIARRHEA AND MUCUS! The good news to this tale of woe is this is all fixable-you can give the body a break by regrowing the mucosal lining and patching up those holes in the gut wall. Come on– get with the times– Get into this millenium- get healed- people are doing it everyday— don’t get hung up on that “There is no scientific proof” stuff- if you do you better drink lots of water and hope your body doesn’t run out of mucus.
