Summary
Our intestines (GI tract) are so vital that God made them one of the first
things formed when a cell initially becomes an embryo. In this early stage, the
spinal column and “gut” tissue is formed, and the gut tissue later becomes the
GI tract. Your very survival depends upon its proper functioning. Nutrients,
building materials, and fuels are absorbed from its walls, and the GI tract also
creates white blood cells, various vitamins, and amino acids. The synergistic
role of the GI system with the lymphatic system is not totally understood. But
its essential relationship to every cell in your body (via the lymphatic system)
should give you an indication of just how vital it is to keep it functioning
properly. You should “feed it” only alive, easy-to-digest foods with
electrically alive fiber so it can maintain its health.
Physicians pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which
they know less, into humans of which they know nothing.
— Voltaire, French satirist (1694-1778)
