The intestinal wall is dependent on a very delicate balance of not being too wet or too dry. We have all experienced*dry skin*after a shower. In the same way that water can dry out the outer skin, water enemas may slowly dry out the villi, forcing them to become dry or produce reactive mucus. As a result, your stools may become constipated, loose or both.
This intestinal irritation will congest the villi and force toxins through a default route back to the liver for a second chance to detoxify.
The toxins build up and slowly congest the liver. Thick bile slowly congests the gallbladder and bile ducts. Bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder to the intestines may become blocked.
Just before the bile duct reaches the small intestine, it joins with the pancreatic duct. Thick bile will block bile flow, as well as the flow of pancreatic (digestive) enzymes. Bile helps break down fat, scrubs the villi, escorts toxins out and much more. The pancreas produces those famous digestive enzymes. In one study, 46 percent of patients who had pancreatitis had thick or viscous bile, indicating that thick bile will affect the function of the pancreas.
Digestive Enzyme Summary
1.** *Irritated intestinal villi: too dry or too loose.
2.** *Toxins drain from the gut to the liver.
3.** *The bile in the liver becomes congested.
4.** *The bile becomes too thick to flow through the bile ducts.
5.** *The gallbladder becomes congested.
6.** *The thick bile congests the bile duct and pancreatic duct.
7.** *Digestive enzymes cannot pass with the bile into the small intestine.
Alternatives to Digestive Enzymes
Now that you understand why we are lacking in these enzymes, you may ask, why not just decongest the bile and pancreatic ducts and improve the bile flow?
My sentiments exactly! Here’s how:
Step 1:*Eat moreraw beets*andleafy greens. Greens should make up 2/3 of your plate. The cellulose in greens will attach to the toxic bile and escort it to the toilet like a non-stop flight!
Step 2:*Drink*fenugreek tea. It acts a decongestant for the bile ducts and helps support normal bile flow.
Step 3:*Have*cinnamon*with every meal. Cinnamon supports healthy blood sugar while supporting health bile flow.
Step 4:*Mix 1-2 tbsp of*olive oil*with 1-2 tsp of*lemon juice. Shake and drink every morning or night on an empty stomach for one month. This will exercise the liver and gallbladder while supporting healthy bile flow in the bile and pancreatic ducts.
Step 5:*Drink a*big glass of water*15-20 minutes before each meal. This will super-hydrate your stomach, encouraging it to produce more hydrochloric acid and increasing the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes.
Step 6:*Consider regular detoxification of the liver and fat cells, which store toxins that are processed through the liver. Regularly cleansing these is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to optimal digestion.
