Ideal Digestive Health Signs vs. Prevalent Digestive Health

Digestive health can be described as abilities of the GI tract to produce digestive enzymes, efficiently absorb nutrients, prevent growth of pathogens, recycle useful nutrients and chemicals, and eliminate toxins and unwanted substances. Body oxygen content is the key factor that defines strength of the immune system and digestive health.

Good digestive health includes beneficial GI flora. People with less than 30 seconds for the morning body oxygen test (or more than 90% of modern people) naturally harbor pathogens in the gut. Abnormal GI flora is manifested in numerous signs, some of which are summarized in the Table below. When the body oxygenation in the morning is about 35 seconds or more, the immune system starts to deal with pathogens in the colons and this leads to gradual improvements in digestive health symptoms towards ideal digestive health.

Poor digestive health is manifested in different symptoms and effects. They include states related to or close to diarrhea, constipation, or their combinations. This Table explains the vital signs of digestive health.

Digestive health and the "soiling effect"

Parameter	Ideal digestive health	Diarrhea	Constipation
Tongue coating	None	Thick, yellow or white	Thick, yellow or white
Transition time	24-48 hours	Less than 24 hours	More than 48 hours
Regularity of bowel movements	Yes	No	No
Shape of feces	Well-formed regular sausages	Flaky, greasy, and irregular	Hardened and dried in the front part and soft and greasy at the end
Water in the sink	Remains clean	Does not remain clean	May remain clean
Marks on the sink wall	None	Very likely	Possible
Residue on the anus or the "Soiling Effect"	None	Yes	Yes
Toilet paper	Unnecessary	Required	Required
Gas	Little or odorless	Likely; offensive	Likely; offensive
Additional signs	None	Possible flatulence, belching, burping, GERD	Possible flatulence, belching, burping, GERD

Note that many modern people usually experience symptoms between 2 extreme states of digestive health that are on the right side of the table (Diarrhea and Constipation), while having intestinal dysbiosis or dysbacteriosis caused by pathological or abnormal gut flora due to heavy breathing and reduced body oxygenation, as well as many other factors.

Increased urination and reduced amounts of urine that can be stored in the urinary bladder are additional signs of poor GI health. A healthy bladder can hold up to about 1 liter of urine. When the gut is inflamed or have some other abnormalities, the person cannot hold more than 500 ml of urine and have more frequent trips to the washroom/toilet.

Note that while increased frequency of urination and small volume can be signs of prostatitis, UTI - urinary tract infections, and many other health problems, these symptoms are often among the most sensitive objective signs of serious digestive problems that require special attention. Therefore, it is important for CP progress to pay attention to those factors that create more symptoms (more frequent urination, reduced volume of urine, thirst, less solid stool, more gas, etc.) so that to identify and eliminate all triggers that worsen the GI state and its micro flora.

Since most people have less than 25 seconds for the body oxygen test, intestinal dysbiosis and soiling effect (a need to use toilet paper) are very common indicating poor digestive health. Virtually all people who get over 50 seconds for the body oxygen test testify that they do not need toilet paper anymore (or some of them may say that they have very little soiling). This happens naturally due to retraining of the automatic breathing pattern, but there are also specific steps in order to achieve better or even ideal digestive health.

Causes of poor digestive health

What are the causes of poor digestive health? As the Homepage and many other pages of this site show, dozens of medical studies prove that modern people have heavy and fast breathing at rest. Overbreathing or breathing much more than the medical norms causes low body oxygenation due to low levels of CO2. Low CO2 in the arterial blood leads to vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow to the digestive system compromising transfer of oxygen, glucose, digestive enzymes and many other vital nutrients. Most importantly, low body oxygenation, due to immunosuppression, allows attachment of pathogens on the mucosal surfaces of the digestive system: in the mouth, throat, stomach, large and small colons, rectum and anus. Therefore, on a cell level, the only cause of poor digestive health is low body oxygen levels.

Restoration of digestive health

While for many people restoration of digestive health is a "side effect" of breathing normalization, an increasing number of breathing students experience serious digestive problems that can be solved using the free standard program described on the pages of this site. In other words, they get stuck with about 20-25 seconds for the body oxygen test for many months or years. In addition, there are many students who can greatly benefit from the right steps in order to achieve high body oxygenation due to improved digestive health. This program is described in detail in Oxygen Remedy webinars that is, in my view, the only existing program that provides all details of digestive health recovery.

More information will be posted shortly. In the meantime, you can monitor these vital signs (provided above), and see which steps are effective in order to improve your digestive health.
