Forty-five percent of all the people in the U.S. have a fire inside of their small intestine. This sounds kind of bizarre, but that is what many physicians call the inflammation inside of your gut. The inflammation inside of your small intestine is caused by a person’s diet, toxins, and irritation from bad bacteria, These are Candida Albicans fungus, bad molds, other bad fungi, and parasites. This inflammation is the root cause of over 100 autoimmune and other diseases.

Any part of your body can become inflamed. It is the body’s response to invading pathogens and/or bad bacterial infections. It is a normal response, like a splinter under your fingernail, but in the small intestine, you cannot feel it, hear it, or see it. It is a normal inflammatory reaction that creates a normal response to a bad alien actors (bad pathogens and other bad bacteria).

Cationic non-electromagnetic food that you eat (your diet) changes your normal 80/20 bacteria ratio of the gut to a 75/35 or lower ratio which creates more bad bacteria, Candida fungus, bad molds, and bad fungi, and parasite larvae.

The good bacteria are crowded out. These bad toxin-carrying bacteria and other serious critters produce chemicals like propyl alcohol, and acetyl aldehyde from Candida, liver flukes, and other parasites. These TOXINS are the NUMBER ONE disease-producing factors in your body. These TOXINS cause the INFLAMMATION (fire) in your belly. The inflammation then causes a breakdown of the wall of the small intestine, letting thousands of bad bacteria, protein particles, tiny food particles, bad fungi, Candida fungi, bad molds, and parasite larvae enter your bloodstream. This is the EPICENTER of the disease process. This is where over 100 autoimmune and other diseases start in your body.

One way or another, almost every disease in the body is the result of chronic inflammation of the gut. You do not feel this inflammation. It is a silent chronic marauder that lets you think everything in your life is great. A sad statistic in hundreds of studies shows that over ten of the leading causes of death, and over one billion people worldwide suffer from this toxin-inflammation sequence of disease. They say that a bad diet and the result of inflammation may shorten your life by 10 or more years.

Have I aroused your attention? A doctor once wrote that, “Ninety-nine percent of all diseases have an origin in the gut.” What is he saying? “Inflammation of the gut leads to aging and decay of the body. It is just like a fire. It is the origin of disease and consumes our tissues and body cells just like a wild-fire.” [NOTE: Although we agree with quote stated, the name of the Doctor referenced by Dr. Loudon has been removed from the text due to issues which the Kelley Estate has with said individual. ~ Editor]

What are the first signs and early symptoms associated with chronic inflammation of the small intestine? These are very important and should alert you of impending disease. Some of these are ONE, High blood pressure. TWO, Fluctuating blood sugar levels. THREE, Persistent joint and body pain. FOUR, allergies. FIVE, Asthma. SIX, fatigue. SEVEN, continuous acid stomachs. EIGHT, Irritable bowel syndrome. NINE, Mental dementia, TEN, Alzheimer’s disease. ELEVEN, Parkinson’s disease. and TWELVE, Intestinal colitis.

The mechanism of chronic gut inflammation: Gut inflammation starts with a bad cationic non-electromagnetic diet that changes the 80/20 good to bad bacteria ratio in your small intestine. Some of these foods you should be aware of are WHITE FLOUR, SUGAR, and SUGAR substances.

Sugar is the number one enemy of health. The average consumption of sugar in the U.S. is 22 teaspoons per day. This amounts to about 120 lbs/sugar/day for everyone in our country. There was no diabetes in the U.S. two hundred years ago before the advent of sugar. Number two are boiled oils on the grocery shelf. All of these oils have been heated to prevent them from getting rancid, yet most fast-food restaurants use them because they are cheap. They are non-electromagnetic (dead) oils and are one of the greatest causes of disease. Number three is carbohydrates. Every person in the U.S. needs to understand the glycemic index of starches. It is by far the least understood but damaging food causing fire in the belly. Many highly glycemic carbohydrate foods are quickly digested with the result being almost as bad as sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream. High glycemic foods such as potatoes and white flour foods, combined with saturated omega 6 oils in deep-fried foods, can wreak havoc with your 80/20 bacteria ratio and overall health. This combination can spike your omega 6 to omega 3 ratio from 3 to 1 up to 30 to one and even 40 to 1. This can cause red blood cell changes that produce homocysteine, a blood clotting factor associated with strokes and heart attacks. If a person has high blood pressure and routinely eats this combination, they may be in serious trouble.

Diets with a high glycemic index are associated with a higher risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, strokes, heart attacks, and even death. This is especially serious for people who are obese, have high blood pressure, and are not eating an electromagnetic anionic fibrous diet to keep up their 80/20 good/bad gut bacteria ratio.

Last year the New England Journal of Medicine released a published article that explained the importance of the glycemic index. They listed three categories of carbohydrates that are very important to know. One: High category is sugar and sugar substances. They are easily digested and can cause high sugar spikes and dips. This can result in high insulin resistance in body cells. Category number two: Potatoes and white flour foods, starches, and carbohydrates with no fiber, which are also broken down into sugar (glucose). Category three: Resistant carbs, which contain fiber and spur the growth of healthful bacteria in the small intestine. These resistant fiber- containing carbohydrates are whole foods or high-quality carbs, also minimally processed carbs. Most of these contain fiber which slows down the digestive process and does not create an insulin spike. These are listed as whole foods, or minimally processed carbs, and should be daily routine foods.

Carbohydrates can be both resistant and non-resistant. Resistant starches like beans and peas create good health-promoting bacteria and short-chain fatty acids, while nonresistant carbs have just the opposite effect. Non-resistant carbs enter the blood- stream just about as fast as sugar.

Carbohydrates are classified into three glycemic groups called the glycemic index. Group one: Low glycemic-resistant great fiber foods. such as apples, oranges, beans, lentils, nuts, beets, kohlrabi, broccoli, cabbage, and carrots, and other vegetables. Group two: Medium partial resistant good glycemic fiber foods: Some of these are rolled rye and oats, barley, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and yams. Group three: High glycemic non-resistant foods. These foods have high starch which digests rapidly (into glucose) and this glucose in the small intestine feeds the bad bacteria, Candida, and other criminals. Some of the most consumed group three are sugar, sugar derivatives, white flour foods, breakfast cereals, white potatoes, soda, diet soda, sugar-sweetened drinks, white rice, candy, and especially deep fried flour products like donuts, maple bars, etc. these foods are responsible for most of the fires in the belly. There are two important drinks that slow the conversion of high glycemic carbohydrates in the digestive tract. They are apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. The recent popularity of these drinks has been a great benefit for a person’s health.

I hope that you do not forget about the fire in the belly and the glycemic index. They may very well aid your quest for more energy, a stronger immune system, better brain function, better health, and even greater longevity.

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. graduated from the University Of Washington School Of Dentistry in 1957. After two years of service in the Air Force, he started a private practice in East Wenatchee, Washington. For the past 45 years his practice has included Orthodontics and TM Dysfunction treatment specializing in temporomandibular pain treatment, headache, head and neck pain control, functional jaw orthopedics, and straight wire orthodontics. Associated with mercury elimination, oral surgery, crowns and bridges is TMJ treatment, diet control, parasite elimination, intestinal cleansing and healing (wellness).

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has taught advanced courses for dentists on TM Dysfunction treatment, orthodontics and related pain control for more than 30 years. In 1972 he was the first dentist in Washington to use straight wire orthodontics and the first dentist to correct vertical deficiencies in children by placing vertical dimension-primary molar buildups and/or vertical (erupting) appliances. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. was involved with the first group of dentists to recognize lateral tongue splinting in young infants and integrate functional and fixed techniques to correct vertical dimension deficiencies and condylar placement. He is the originator of vertical dimension-primary molar build ups, which help to correct deep bites and Otitus media in children. He invented the Loudon-Chateau Anterior Repositioning Appliance, the functional muscle malocclusion concept, the twelve commandments of occlusion and the vertical overbite domino rule. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has written numerous articles in several American and foreign dental journals and has lectured in over 50 cities and 7 foreign countries on functional jaw orthopedics, fixed wire orthodontics, Otitus media treatment and TM Dysfunction treatment. He has been instrumental in setting up criteria for teaching in the International Association For Orthodontics, including the certified instructor program.

Dr. Loudon is a member of The American Dental Association, Diplomat and Senior Instructor in the International Association for Orthodontics, and is a Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management. He also is a member of the American Orthodontic Society.
