Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III.A CLINICAL STUDY OF INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.In the clinical study of the disorders of digestion the stomach cannot be considered the most important division of the alimentary canal. In the light of modern research this position must be assigned to the small intestine, and chiefly to its upper part. It is in the duodenum, and in the duodenum only, that a mixed diet can be perfectly prepared for absorption. The work begun in the kitchen and continued in the mouth and stomach reaches the climax of chemical changes at this point. The preceding stages of digestion have been preparatory and progressive.Duty and responsibility go hand-in-hand. When the duodenum with its two great appended glands was supposed to play a subordinate and supplementary part, not much attention was given to the intestine in the disorders of digestion, and the logical sequence was failure in treatment. The stomach has been much abused by laymen, and a physician of genius has seen in it the origin and source of every form of chronic disease. No other organ has been so maligned and maltreated. It is now time that the responsibility should rest where it belongs, and much of the blame must be transferred to the intestine. Vicarious suffering is not a principle of law or of Nature or of disease.The stomach is an antiseptic receptacle which doles out its contents to the duodenum in a soft, semi-fluid, mixed, and slightly changed form. Its secretion, as does the saliva, only acts on one class of foods and in a very incomplete manner. No very great quantity of nitrogenized food is converted by hydration into peptones, and the precipitated casein, proteoses, liberated granulose, and fat are discharged into the duodenum. But be it understood that it is not our purpose to underestimate the utili... ... Read more

Product Description
THE HIDDEN EPIDEMIC There are legions, literally millions upon millions of people, living in pain and suffering in silence and is the number one reason for doctor visits in the U.S. and nothing else even comes close. The number of people is staggering: 200 million who suffer pain on some regular basis, at least once a month, and 92 million people in unrelenting, chronic pain every day without letup seven days a week. Everything to be found regarding dealing with pain revolves around managing, coping with, or in some way learning how to live with pain. There is not a word to be found as regards how one might go about removing the cause of the pain because it has been accepted as fact that the cause is unknown.At present there are many books on the topic of pain in general, as well as numerous books on specific conditions, but not a single one of them reveals the underlying cause of the pain and how to remove it, eliminating the need for drugs. Until now. Harvey Diamond is the bestselling author of the enormously successful series of FIT FOR LIFE books. Harvey has one of the most compelling and moving human interest stories you will ever hear. While serving his country in Vietnam, as a 21 year old in 1966, he was exposed to Agent Orange which brought on a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Along with extreme, unrelenting pain, this condition also slowly deteriorates muscles until individuals are confined to a wheelchair unable to move. Most cases are fatal. In his landmark new book, LIVING WITHOUT PAIN, Harvey reveals to those 200 million people who are in pain and looking for answers, how they too can live life free of pain without having to rely on dangerous drugs. Harvey's engaging and light-hearted, reader-friendly writing style highlights this book which is brimming over with common sense information that changes people's lives. ... Read more

Why intestinal blocks?
I have contracted four blockages of the small intestine over the past ten years, one requiring surgery.No specialist has been found that can offer a cause or suggestive preventive measures.Very frustrating.Dr. Peikin addresses just about every intestinal disorder except blockages.I was dissapointed.

Awesome book
This book was a great addition to add to my collection of health books. It offered sound wisdom and advice to prevent, avoid, correct and treat varies medical condition cause by gastrointestinal problems.

Not very useful information
I purchased "The Wonder of Probiotics" at the same time as this book. The Wonder of Probiotics contains plain and simple valuable information on how to use probiotics to improve your health. I found this book very boring and not containing useful information on how to incorporate probiotics intoyour life. Don't waste your money.

Great information, interesting read...
I finally understand after reading this how all the organs in my digestive system work.And it's not as gross as you might think.It's interesting to read how different foods and drugs you ingest each affect each organ differently, as well as potentially causing pain to those who are sensitive, or who have different conditions.A must read for those with persistent IBS, heartburn, gas, or other digestive issues.

Great book for GERD sufferers
This book has it all; concise explanations of the etiology of each gastroenterologic problem and simple practical solutions.Generally, the doctor proposes a high fiber, low fat diet but each patient has to tailor their diet to their own specific needs as clearly there are certain foods that are fine for some, an irritant for others.I would note that contrary to one reviewer, I have made a number of the recipes.They are fairly simple, mostly typical ingredients and have been delicious.
The one problem I have with the book is the contradictory advice with respect to some specific food items.For example, if you suspect that your LES valve muscle is the culprit, the recipes in the 2 week plan contain a good deal of ingredients (citrus fruits, cocoa) which may irritate that condition.The doctor has not provided alternatives to substitute for these ingredients.Generally though, I think the implied message is you have got to get to know your body well as you lower the fat and increase the fiber in your diet. ...
