Hi my name is dr. john do yard i want to talk to you today about the hidden dangers of digestive enzyme surprisingly we are constantly being told that as we age we don’t make enzymes we need to take these digestive enzyme pills because we don’t digest well as we age i’m just not a believer in that i believe that we can all digest well as we age even as good as an
18 year old i want to do today is go into detail as to why many practitioners are thinking we don’t make these enzymes and how we can restore the natural flow of these digestive enzymes you know two things happen when you take enzymes when you feel great you know my god i’m digesting so well second thing is you start realizing that i need them and am i dependent
On them will i need them for the rest of my life and that’s the problem is that there’s no exit strategy one of my mentors my very favorite doctors in the world dr. bernard jenson when he was in the later part of his life he was taking 17 digestive enzymes with every meal because he had broken his ability to digest well down i just don’t think we have to go there
The intestinal tract is where it all starts we process 95% of our serotonin in the intestinal tract so we handle stress through the gut we’re under a lot of stress right and who isn’t but gut gets impacted irritates dries out inflamed you get constipated dry stools loose stools mucus in your stools the intestinal wall in flames when that happens the toxins that
Are supposed to be pulled off the gut wall into the lymphatic system on the other side of the gut or all the immunity lives 80% of your immune systems right there if that breaks down which it does slowly then we default those toxins back to your liver your liver goes off really i’m so big you got to be kidding me i got so much to do i can’t believe i’m doing
The job of the lymphatic system now and i send those toxins into the bloodstream where they circulate irritating arteries and storing and fat cells and creating levels of toxicity the bile within the liver gets thick and congested when the bio in the liver gets they can congested the bile ducts can’t flow by oh well the by literally becomes viscous and thick and
Sticky and the bile duct connects with a duct called the pancreatic duct and joins into this thing called the common bile duct the pancreas which makes your digestive enzymes on one side and your bile which breaks down the fats on the other side they join together before they squirt bile and enzymes into your small intestine but what if the bile has gotten thick
Because the gut was irritated this then talks us back to your liver your liver got congested your bio got thick and when the biot too thick you couldn’t move the bile or the enzymes through the common bile duct now all of a sudden the digestive enzymes can’t flow so you don’t digest well you get gas you blow you have problems you don’t eat wheat dairy fatty foods
Anymore because you know they’re not good for you but the reason real reason is you’re not digesting as well as you once did it’s not that those foods are really that bad it’s another discussion but the real underlying issue just taking those who’s away doesn’t solve your problem the real issue is helping your body be a better digester because that’s also how
We detoxify and that’s critical in a toxic world so when the bile ducts and the pancreatic ducts get congested we just throw in the towel and say we’ll take digestive enzymes that will solve your problem and i just can’t go there i think we can reset digestive function by d congesting those bile ducts and those pancreatic ducts so here are some tools and in the
Article associate with this video i go into detail into the these beautiful home therapies that you can use one beets beets are bio movers so more beets in your diet are cinnamon sprinkling a little cinnamon on your food whenever you can cinnamon from the ayurvedic perspective is a decongestant again roto-rooter’s out the bile ducts and the pancreatic ducts also
Great new studies on cinnamon on its ability to balance blood sugar which is also another function of the pancreas as well also greens lots and lots of leafy greens too the petunia every meal should be a goal to have leafy green vegetables those greens when you chew them not juice them necessarily but when you chew them and get the cellulose the cellulose hooks
Onto the bile in your gut and takes the bile which is carrying toxic chemicals cholesterol all the way into the toilet so it gets out of your body that’s really important that we have enough greens to keep our body naturally detoxifying another recipe that i love say take your gall bladder and your bile ducts and your pancreatic enzyme ducts on a little morning
Run little morning workout is to take a one the two tablespoons of olive oil and one to two teaspoons of lemon juice and mix it all up and drink it first thing in the morning or before you go to bed at night and that will contract that gall bladder and make sure that bile starts to flow better and help increase the flow and decrease the viscosity of the bile open
Up those pancreatic ducts don’t let them begin to flow other techniques drinking a big glass of water 15 to 20 minutes before the meal what that does is it super hydrates to your stomach lining underneath your stomach there’s a bicarbonate layer which is 80 percent water you super hydrate your stomach before you eat the meal the stomach goes whoa we’ve got buffers
Here we can buffer as much acid as we can make so let’s cook some food let’s make some acid and let’s do some digesting well the more acid you produce the more bile needs to be produced the more pancreatic enzymes need to be produced because they neutralize the acid when it hits your foot when it hits the small intestine so how good is that what i do is drink a
Big glass water this is great for kids too and then the bile and the enzymes begin to flow and your digestive enzymes are back on line other things taking time to eat your food relaxing and eating your food one-third of americans eat their food in cars so this is not what i call a relaxing environment so giving the body of time to relax and taking some time after a
Meal to relax these are old-fashioned remedies to keep our digestive function alive really important pieces of puzzle and then of course detoxification of your liver of the fat cells and the liver has been dumping the toxins into for all this time all this time is also a really important piece of the puzzle and of course and ayurveda we have many detox programs we
