When I first started studying nutrition and natural healing, the saying was, Death begins in the colon. Now, with more research it is more correctly said that death begins with bad digestion. In fact the cure of disease really begins with better nutrition and more efficient ways to combine those nutrients. Why?
When I first began my search for the best nutrition and most advantageous ways to heal naturally, the saying was, Death begins in the colon.

We can say digestion begins in the mouth; and actually, that process starts with what the nose smells. Think of what happens when you smell turkey cooking. Your mouth begins to salivate, right? Salivary amylase in the mouth begins the breakdown of carbohydrates. That process, with carbohydrates should be completed in the small intestine.
The process of digesting proteins takes several hours and will only be confused if sugars, fats and carbohydrates like breads are in the mix.
So then, carbohydrates begin digesting in the mouth. The chewing process of proteins alerts the stomach to begin creating hydrochloric acid, imperative in the digestion of proteins. When HCL is at a low, something that happens to most people as they age, then the other component in digesting proteins, pepsinogen wont work properly.
The process of digesting proteins takes several hours and will only be confused if sugars, fats and carbohydrates like breads are in the mix. So depressing, people with poor digestion should never eat sandwiches.
Small bits of food at a time are digested in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter, the gatekeeper between the stomach and the small intestine only allows small amounts in at a time so that the digestive juices, enzymes produced by the pancreas and the liver have time to be produced, meet in the hepatopancreatic duct and travel to the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla.
Small bits of food at a time are digested in the duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine. The pyloric sphincter, the gatekeeper between the stomach and the small intestine only allows small amounts in at a time so that the digestive juices, enzymes produced by the pancreas and the liver have ample time to be produced, meet in the hepatopancreatic duct, travel to the duodenum through the hepatopancreatic ampulla.
Even if medicine suppresses the body response, let's say acid reflux which is really an alert that something is wrong and needs the owners attention, the underlying cause is still there. The underlying cause is bad digestion.
Why is all of this important to good health and the healing process? Once food begins to sit too long in any area of the GI tract it begins a process called putrefaction. This is the beginning of disease and the acid conditions in the body that cause headaches, body aches, constipation, really every other disease.
Once putrefied food stays in the system long enough, the body becomes overloaded with real debris. The immune system is overloaded trying to keep waste clean enough to store in the body.

Once this pattern is established, once illness sets in, what should you do? What are the next steps back to health? Eat mostly fruits and vegetables, use a juicer and eat food in combinations that ease the work load of the digestive system.
