The Ileo-Cecal valve [2] is a small muscle located between the small and large intestine. Found only on the right side of the body, this one way check valve allows our food to pass into the large intestine for further processing. The proper function of this valve is to open and close upon demand. When this muscle sticks in the open position it causes a backwash from the large intestine into the small intestine, allowing fecal matter to be used in the making of blood. This has great consequences as the small intestine is where the process of creating the blood/fuel to feed the body begins. When this muscle is stuck closed, the process of eliminating waste will be hindered. Both of these conditions are very toxic and can cause a problem anywhere in the body there is blood
This drawing also indicates the duration of each digestive process. Food enters the mouth and is passed through the pharynx and esophagus into the stomach, where it is partly digested. That is, if one has enough "digestive enzymes" in the stomach.
(Some of NSPs Enzymes combinations: PDA, Food Enzymes, Proactazyme, ProteasePlus.)
The small intestine completes the digestion and absorbs digested foods. The large intestine absorbs water.
Indigestible residue collects in the rectum for later disposal. |
