there’s one really common

nutritional deficiency behind

constipation i want to share with you

today this is actually very very

interesting and it makes a lot of sense

once you get all the information

i want to start here with a couple facts

there are more nerves in your gut than

there are in your spinal column

you also have a very long nerve called

the vagus nerve that goes between your

brain

and your gut and is bidirectional which

means it goes up and down it carries

information back and forth now the vagus

nerve is connected to

the lower part of the brain called the

brain stem and in that brain stem

you have the

core of something called the autonomic

nervous system the system that runs on

automatic okay now many times people

think there’s just two parts to that you

have the sympathetic nervous system and

the parasympathetic but you have

actually a third part it’s called the

entire and so that is called the second

brain and it innervates the entire gut

and it’s all nerve tissue and the reason

i’m telling you that is this

the brain stem or shall i say the

autonomic nervous system is very

vulnerable

to

thymine deficiencies that’s vitamin b1

deficiencies when you don’t have enough

thymine

all sorts of things go

wacko with the autonomic nervous system

and this especially rates to anything

nerve okay like the nerve innervation to

the smooth muscle in your gut which

controls something called peristalsis i

mean if you think about what

constipation really is it’s a

lack of peristalsis the peristalsis is

not working you’re not pumping

uh waste through the body and so it’s

stagnant it’s not in motion

if you’ve ever heard of a severe b1

deficiency it’s called

beriberi

but there’s a part of beriberi called

gastrointestinal

berry berry which involves the blocking

of peristalsis

your intestines just don’t pump anymore

so things just kind of sit there and so

this occurs because there is a b1

deficiency that is in the brain stem

that controls

all these nerves from above

the brainstem and especially the

autonomic nervous system depend on

getting enough b1 and so when they don’t

have enough

the vagus nerve cannot use acetylcholine

to allow this to occur and so

acetylcholine is like a hormone within

your nervous system okay it depends on

vitamin b1 you see you normally you’re

supposed to eat food you have all this

acid in the stomachs breaking down the

protein

creating an environment which kills

pathogens okay the absorption of certain

uh minerals and the food comes down this

little pipe right here and you have this

little sac called the gallbladder that

secretes a bile that helps you start

breaking down the fats with the help of

the pancreas and the pancreas also

releases additional enzymes to break

down this food stuff right here and then

you have the small intestine right here

and 90 of all the digestion occurs in

the small intestine right and then it

empties into the large intestine where

you have

more digestion and fermentation of

things that are not digested or we don’t

have the capacity to digest like fiber

and then it comes out through here and

so when people have constipation we have

a backup of this whole system and so so

people will start taking probiotics

they’ll start taking

betaine hydrochloride they’ll take

purified bile salts they’ll take enzymes

and sometimes they depend on either

medication like laxatives or even herbal

laxatives which are much better but when

you have to keep taking something over

and over and over

it’s obvious that you haven’t found the

right problem and i’m not against taking

laxatives if they’re herbal as long as

you at the same time try to correct

what’s really going on

because the danger of constipation is

greater than the danger of taking

laxatives because it’s called

auto-intoxication where the waste just

sits there okay it just sits there it

doesn’t go through the body and it can

back up and create a lot of toxicity

not only does a thymine deficiency

cause this peristalsis problem but the

thymine deficiency also inhibits

hcl in the stomach it inhibits your

stomach acid okay the stuff that you

need to break down protein so if you

have undigested protein that alone can

cause constipation

you need this acid to also kill

microbes so you don’t develop

microbes in the wrong place like in your

small intestine which is called small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth which

comes from a lack of hydrochloric acid

so that’s an interesting connection

low vitamin b1 thymine also inhibits

gastric motility talking about the

motility of your stomach

not just the intestines but the stomach

mobility too

and so a version of that condition is

called

gastroparesis where everything is kind

of just really sluggish going through

the digestive system and i’ve done a

video on gastroparesis before which

basically is this slowing down of your

digestion

being caused

by diabetes because diabetes involves

high level of carbohydrates and sugar

which is one of the primary causes of a

b1 deficiency refine carbohydrates or

refined

sugar

as in the breads the pasta the cereal

the crackers the biscuits the pancakes

etc so you eat a lot of carbohydrates

you get diabetes you create a b1

deficiency and then you get

gastroparesis not to mention a lot of

other problems with the nervous system

but this is a side note by diabetics

typically get peripheral neuropathy the

bottom of their feet

becomes numb burning

painful because of a lack of b1 b1

deficiency affects the nervous system at

many different levels and so what we’re

talking about here is the relationship

and connection between a b1 deficiency

and your autonomic nervous system which

originates in the brain stem but extends

out to the vagus nerve and into the

enteric nervous system now a b1

deficiency can also inhibit

pancreatic enzymes okay so now we can’t

release the enzymes to digest

90

of your digestion occurs in the small

intestine with a lot of help from that

pancreas right here

also a b1 deficiency like i just said

causes gastroparesis

and another condition which i’m going to

define

bilirary

dyskinesia now what is biliary

dyskinesia

that is simply

a sluggish gallbladder

the gallbladder should contract and

release bile

but with this condition it doesn’t it’s

sluggish okay so we’re not talking about

a lack of bile we’re just talking about

the muscular the soft tissue that’s

supposed to be contracting and releasing

the bile well you’re going to actually

have less bile to help you digest and

that all comes from a b1

deficiency so

as you can see the common thread behind

constipation is a lack of thymine now if

you’re going to take a thymine remedy b1

remedy i would highly recommend you find

one

that is natural not synthetic

now since we’re on the topic of b1

there’s a lot more to know about it’s a

fascinating vitamin

you should check out this video i did

at my one of my summits i’ll put it up

right here check it out
