And to think your doctor

 

thinks nothing of writing you out a prescription for this supposed germ-based “disease.”

 

 

 

This is the only cause of AIB. There is nothing else that can lead to this. It doesn’t come

 

from poor diet. It is not caused by stress. Those two have been with us forever.

 

 

 

The actual cause – synthetic antibiotics were unleashed upon us just after World War II

 

creating an epidemic of inflamed bowel problems. This epidemic of inflamed bowels did

 

not exist prior to this because there were no substances on this planet that killed off the

 

good and bad strains of bacteria. Penicillin had been around for a while prior to WWII

 

but, it being natural and gentler, it did not devastate the bowels and all that was needed

 

to correct it was a mouthful of something such as yogurt. That does not work now and

 

we are no longer in Kansas.

 

 

A History Lesson

 

 

As already stated-Acquired Inflammatory Bowel did not exist before World War II and

 

that’s for a very good reason.

 

 

 

During the time just after World War II, a tremendous amount of synthetic antibiotics

 

were suddenly prescribed. These antibiotics were much stronger and different from

 

what doctors had been using. Up until that time, doctors depended on penicillin, which

 

was a natural antibiotic that could kill off negative bacteria.

 

 

 

It is when these 'atomic bomb' like synthetic antibiotics hit the market and hit your body,

 

including amoxicillin, Cipro, Bactrim, Zithromax, erythromycin, and tetracycline that

 

everything changed and the epidemic of GI problems started. These synthetic

 

antibiotics are referred to as full spectrum. That means they kill off all bacteria, not just

 

the negative kind. They kill the good bacteria that our body needs. And, those good

 

bacteria cannot grow back on their own. They have to be reintroduced into the system,

 

and that’s the basis for the cure, which we will discuss later.

 

 

 

Worst of all—no one was warned. The drug companies who surely know have a vested

 

interest in keeping the secret from their sales people—the doctors. Believe it or not what

 

take you and me just minutes to understand—you doctor, under the barrage of lies from

 

the drug companies, cannot see. Your doctor is blinded by science.

 

 

 

 

 

The Bowel Tissue

 

 

When the good bacteria is destroyed, this leaves tender tissues in the bowel exposed to

 

damaging elements, including digestive acids and fibrous foods. These then with every

 

single meal begin eroding and irritating the bowel wall eventually leading to symptoms

 

such as pain, diarrhea, blood and mucus in the stool.

 

 

 

This is the manmade injury I refer to. There is only one condition, Acquired

 

Inflammatory Bowel, with various degrees of damage manifesting in various symptoms.

 

 

Like first, second, and third degree burns, it's all just burnt skin. Or a cut that needs five

 

stitches vs 20 stitches, it's still a cut. Wouldn't it be weird to break them up and give

 

them different names and call them different diseases? That is what they do with

 

inflammatory bowel.

 

 

 

What many people don’t realize is that the good bacteria is an absolute must for health.

 

They build our immune system, give tissue the ability to repair itself, and add protection

 

for sensitive tissues as well. The positive strains of bacteria make up the mucosal lining

 

in the stomach and bowel. When they are gone we will have a problem.

 

 

 

When the positive bacteria are killed, the mucosal lining is damaged or destroyed. As a

 

result, it leaves the bowel open to a Pandora’s Box of damage and that is what leads to

 

Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. Bottom line— when the mucosal lining is breached the

 

stomach acid penetrates and eats the bowel wall and given enough time, while your

 

doctor is wasting time with a colonoscopies and experimental drugs it will eat a hole

 

right through your intestinal wall. Did you have breakfast or lunch today? You just lost

 

another layer of flesh and the clock is ticking. How long will it take before you look down

 

and see a bright red toilet bowl? Of course, that would never happen to you. Would it?

 

 

 

So, that is the bottom line. All of those “conditions” the doctor refers to are the same

 

thing. There is only one condition, which is Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. There is only

 

one singular cause for it. We live in a worldwide environment that is laced with

 

chemicals that kill bad and good bacteria. Every breath we take, every time we eat or

 

rub antibiotic creams onto our skin, we lose—we lose the most important part of our

 

anatomy—the mucosal lining, and then we start to lose actual flesh, skin, fat and

 

muscle.

 

 

 

The chances are that because of a recent round of antibiotics you will be more prone to

 

infections and remain on the antibiotic treadmill. It's a slippery slope. Eventually some

 

symptoms will appear and you will have no way to reconcile them with the antibiotic you

 

took three years ago, or that the water and food you ingest, or the air that you breathe,

 

or the tooth paste and mouthwash that you use, not to mention the bath water or

 

swimming pool you dive into. Antibacterials are everywhere.

 

 

 

Once the symptoms appear they will never go away on their own. You can trick yourself

 

by juggling foods or standing on your head but that will not stem the tide. Even when

 

taking various drugs that cover the symptoms, the damage continues. One day, even

 

the drugs will not cover up the symptoms. Those are the only people I can't help. The

 

ones who wait too long. What happened is their digestive acids cannibalized their colon.

 

I can't rebuild something that is no longer there. If you have been diagnosed with

 

Crohn's disease you are knocking on that door.

 

 

 

Being degenerative by nature they will assuredly keep getting worse. You will not get

 

any effective treatment from your doctor. They do not understand Acquired

 

Inflammatory Bowel. The good news is that there is a cure. While medical doctors will

 

say there is no effective treatment for inflammatory bowel disorders, they are wrong on

 

this matter. In fact, there is a cure. There is only one cure, and it is not the path that

 

your doctor would have you take. Next I will discuss what that one cure is.

Chapter 5: Truth Number Five

There Is Only One Cure for AIB

There is only one cure for Acquired Inflammatory Bowel. You can't eat your way out of

it. Managing stress will not help. New experimental drugs are more damaging. There

are even doctors prescribing anti depression meds for bowel problems. That is an

extraordinary grasping at straws attempt. Is your bowel depressed? I guess it would be

if it was inflamed all day. None of these work because they do not address the real

issue. Your bowel is being eroded by your own stomach acids and further irritated by

the foods you eat. It gets worse every time you eat.

 

The only cure for AIB is to rebuild the colon by ingesting the same organic materials that

the tissue is made of in the first place.

 

The Problem with Medicine

Why won’t medicine work? Quite simply, the lining of your stomach and colon is not made of chemicals. You have to feed this tissue properly with things such as amino and

fatty acids, herbs and more. Medicines cannot do this. They cannot grow even a toenail.

I can show you how to regrow your colon.

 

Doctors will tell you that you have a disease. But, you don’t. You have an injury much

like if you had cut your finger or slid from your bike and gashed your knee. Externally

you can isolate and protect the cut with a band aid. The problem with an injury to your

bowel is that you can’t do that on the inside, as the GI tract is a high traffic, acidic

environment. It has to be treated differently.

 

It requires the skillful use of specialized nutritional supplements in order to heal the

damage and replace the delicate lining of the bowel.

 

It appears that there is only one person who knows how to do this. That person has

spent their whole adult life thinking about how to heal inflamed bowels and figured it out.

 

Understanding Your Bowel

Your small and large bowel is a very busy place, doing much more than you may

realize. It has a big job in the body that goes well beyond digesting foods. It absorbs

nutrients, sends waste along its way, and even functions as a big part of your immune

system. When the bowel is not functioning properly, you can run into a whole variety of

different inflammatory bowel issues with different symptoms. However, they are not

separate conditions. They are all Acquired Inflammatory Bowel, and the good news is

when micro-managed properly the injury can be healed.

 

When you have developed Acquired Inflammatory Bowel, your body's symptoms are

telling you that it needs help. That is how it communicates with us, through its language

—symptoms. A holistic gastroenterologist can translate the symptoms and determine

exactly what is needed. You can give your body what it needs to rebuild and heal itself.

You will not find a cure from traditional medicine. The colon is not made of prednisone.

Instead, you will reach dead end after dead end as your doctor prescribes a variety of

different medicines in an attempt to ease your symptoms. In the world of modern

medicine, it will be a never-ending cycle of medicines and eventually surgery. That’sbecause there is only one solution and they don't know what it is. They are

overeducated. It is right in front of their noses—basic physiology—pre chemical era.

They lost their way.

 

Now, you are probably wondering why don’t the doctors fix this? That’s what we will talk

about next.

Chapter 6: Truth Number Six

Why Your Doctor Cannot Fix It

 

 

It is because they have been mis-educated on this subject. They are using the wrong

 

paradigm. They have been trained to think within the context of the germ theory or that

 

inflammatory bowel is caused by our immune system. Among other things, they are

 

misled by drug companies about the side effects of some medicines. They are guilty of

 

over-prescribing harsh antibiotics. They never see any success stories because they

 

are only treating sick people who receive their ineffective treatment. They don't evolve

 

their thinking of these issues. They don't tend to think outside of the box. Outside the

 

box is where all innovation and invention occurs.

 

 

 

 

The Autoimmune Condition Issue

 

 

Why do they label it an auto-immune disease? One reason for doing so is that when

 

there is an “injury” to the body there will naturally be a lot of immune activity in that

 

location. You want and need that to prevent infection and to facilitate healing. So when

 

they see a lot of immune activity in the colon area and they see an inflamed colon they

 

make a desperate analysis (guess) that it must be the immune system causing the

 

problem. To support this misdiagnosis when they prescribe an immune suppressant

 

drug, the symptoms do decrease. This is because immune factors do have

 

inflammatory properties, that is how they kill germs, but they are secondary to the

 

original cause.
