What is Mucoid Plaque and is it really harmful to my body?
Mucoid plaque is the term used by holistic and alternative health practitioners to describe harmful mucus like substance that coats gastrointestinal tract. Our digestive system has natural mucus. This mucus protects the intestinal wall from harmful bacteria that may destroy the mucosa lining. But due to intoxication, this mucosa attacks the gastrointestinal tract instead of protecting it. Mucoid plaque was popularized by a Naturapath Dr. Richard Anderson.
Mucoid plaque is a threat to our health. It can block nutrient absorption. When nutrient cannot absorb properly, sugar tolerates to enter our system. Mucoid plaque also is a place for parasites eggs. Parasites released their eggs in the mucoid plaque because parasite eggs are nourished well to a texture similar to that of mucus. Naturapaths believe that removing of these mucoid plaques is of greater benefit not only to our intestine and gastrointestinal tract but our whole body.
Mucus act as a shield against harmful substances to prevent it from penetrating deepr into the body.
It also act to expel this harmful substances so that it can no longer affect or harm our body or the intestine. If our mucosa lining produced more mucus it signals that the food we take in contains some harmful elements. Mucus membrane continually produce mucus as a means of keeping our intestine moist and slippery for easy bowel movement. But when this mucus reacts to toxins it becomes harmful. Its color change from white crystal to cloudy. Once this mucus becomes dry and arid it becomes mucoid plaque.
Foods can aggravate excessive production of mucus like dairy products (milk, butter, cheese and yogurt. These are the most active mucus forming foods. Foods such as meat, fish and eggs are same degree in forming mucus to that of dairies. Soya beans are also mucus forming but its degree of forming mucus is lesser compared to that of dairies.
By removing mucoid plaque, our digestive system will function efficiently and parasites will have ard time in surviving our colon. Our body is less prone to toxins.
Mucoid plaque, the hardened mucus inside our digestive system when not remove will just keep it even more and more until such time that it contributes to your weight and poor health. There is a controvery among holistic practitioners and doctors. Holistic or naturapaths believe that mucoid plaque should be remove in order for us to achieve a healthy body. Doctors says there is no such thing as mucoid plaque. Intestinal mucosa naturally produce mucus to help our intestine expel bowels easily. I don’t want you to be confused of whom to believe. You yourself have to experience in order for you to know which one has to say and whom to follow.
If you have gone a colon cleanse, what did you notice after several days of expelling toxins isn’t it that what comes out of you is old fecal matters? You can see it from your very own eyes, the colors of the stools and its texture denotes that fecal debris have been really stored there for years. And when all this toxins are removed, you experience a feeling of lightness, relieved and energized. It is because toxins are gone away. It is same true with mucoid plaque. Over the years of thickening, when not remove, it would just make it even thicker and thicker and impacted over the intestinal walls. When this happens intestinal worms thrive and it became their place of sanctuary.
