Anatomy of the Colon

A must-watch and a must-listen. 

Your colon's health is not only about poop.  What else happens?

Large and Small Intestines.  The bowel is about 5 feet.  The intestinal tract is where you digest food above, and the small intestines are approximately 23 feet.  30 feet from mouth to anus. 

Pay attention to the graph on your colon.  Notice the major aorta in all the veins that attach to the colon walls.  Why is that vitally important?  

Because when you have poop stuck in your colon, you are technically poisoning yourself with the toxic substances sitting in your bowel.  And I just showed you all the blood attached, all the veins and the arteries, so all the toxins--skatole, cresol, indole, phenol, and the permeability of your wall.  All of these things are affected by stools sitting in that bowel and directly poisoning your blood.  And don't forget, your liver is cleansing that blood every 7 minutes.  

1:25  So what else about this blood supply?  What else do we know?  Picture of blood vessels and a major artery that's attached to the colon wall.  Well, look at this.  It's the Superior Mesenteric Vein that affects your lymph drainage and your nerve supply.  Nerves, meaning your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.  That's your Vagus Nerve.  When you go to a chiropractor, they will adjust your Vagus Cranial Nerve.  It goes from the cranium all the way down the bowel. 

THE VAGUS NERVE

The Vegas nerve operates mainly within the parasympathetic nervous system linking major organ activity to the brain.  According to Medical news today it's four main functions are:

1)  SENSORY: providing sensory information from the throat heart lungs and abdomen.

2)  SPECIAL SENSORY: providing taste sensation behind the tongue.

3)  MOTOR: providing movement for neck muscles so you can swallow and speak.

4)  PARASYMPATHETIC:  responsible for your digestive tract respiration and heart rate functioning.

While the sympathetic nervous system controls the fight or flight response sending out stress releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol so you can take action.

The Vagus Nerve does the opposite, helping you get rid of stress and remain calm the more things you do to stimulate the Vagus Nerve the more relaxed you are and less stressed you'll feel.

GUESS WHAT?  It attaches right to your colon, and that's why people feel so much better after they've had a colonic

It's a mixed nerve. 

It's the longest, most widely distributed Cranial Nerve.  

It's distributed until the right 2/3 of the transverse colon.  

It contains Afferent, Motor, and Parasympathetic fibers.  

HOW CAN THIS TOTALLY AFFECT YOU?

It can affect you because it's responsible for your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the calming influence.  The sympathetic nervous system is stress, cortisol, you're running away from a bear . . . .  But this Vagus Nerve does the opposite.  It helps you get rid of stress and remain calm.  

2:35.  Here is your colon, and she's already shown us the major artery in the veins attached to that column wall which affects everything in your body because it's your blood.  It's like soil to a plant.  This is your blood directly affected by your colon.  But look at this these little green dots.  Those are your lymph nodes.  How important are your lymphs?  Well, basically your lymphs are your immune system.  The lymphs are like little trash cans that take out the garbage, and when they are full and when they don't move they get full of waste and matter.  And if they're attached here to this colon wall that's full of poop, you can see this is going to be a big problem.
