Understanding the Divine Gut: How To Eat Your Way To Ultimate Digestive Health

By Scott Mathias

Understanding The Divine Gut - How to Eat Your Way To Ultimate Digestive Health exposes the truth about the increases in gut related diseases bought about by poor nutrition as a result of corporate greed and misleading marketing and advertising.

It also exposes the role of 'big business' in the medical pharmaceutical sickness industry and the way in which people have allowed themselves to become victims of their corrupt practices. The Divine Gut provides some practical solutions for moving toward a more plant based diet and taking personal control over day to day nutritional choices.

The book also reveals the author's own fight with chronic digestive disorders and how he resolved these without the 'interference' of the medical industry. This is frank and open expose on the current control of the nutritional and health dollar along with some 'eye-opening' solutions which could be the savoir of humanity.

INTRODUCTION

These times for planet earth and her inhabitants have been before and some of us are back to see it through yet again. An old friend looked me in the eyes once and said of humanity, ‘Round and Round’. I have known what he meant for some time now. Humanity is literally going round and round chasing its divine tail from one ridiculous experience to another, all the time hurting those around with wanton acts of unkindness and cruelty, but it’s mainly the collective unseen ‘IT’ which bears the brunt of the ‘anti-life’ behaviour sweeping the planet.

Everywhere people are looking for solutions to merely ‘survive’. For some, it’s about ‘holding on’ to their sacred dollars for fear of going without or going hungry. In doing so, the level of self-centredness on the planet is at a record high. People are striving to become ‘powerful’ when in fact they remain weak and ineffectual at the same time creating a bold and ugly face exactly the same as oppressors of the past and present from Attila the Hun, Hitler and Mugabe.

People are struggling to stay well as they continually face a barrage of media and advertising which purports to extol the virtues of products designed to do one thing and one thing alone; put profits into the pockets of multinationals and perpetuate the ‘sickness and disease industry’.

There is a new form of Czar now and he or she is the CEO of multinational drug, food or armament companies.

You see nothing has changed and yet in recent years we have seen a proliferation of knowledgeable scientists, personal development gurus, peace and green people and talk-fests and many more ‘things’ supposedly designed to make a difference to the way people respond to life; yet with not an iota of difference. Conflict on all levels reigns supreme midst a great deal of hatred, confusion, separation and most evident disease and ill health. It’s time now to fix yourself up, before the planet.

Where am I going to with this line? What relevance does it have to your digestive system and that of the collective called ‘Humanity’? All will unfold.

Chapter 1

SICKNESS IS A BIG MONEY SPINNER

One of the prime areas which most fail to see as a major contributor to the state of human health, is the clandestine way in which food producers, the medical and pharmaceutical industry and government, are collaborating in the process of slow, but highly successful, annihilation of the human species … all in the quest for control of you and your health and big profits.

Since the invention of pharmaceuticals for instance we have seen more deaths occur through their use than for the very reason they were originally designed – to heal. In the US alone more than 100,000 people die each year after following the dosage requirements on pharmaceutical packets.

We see a thriving sickness industry worth tens of billions of dollars. This industry has a vested interest in ensuring YOU remain ill or at least fearful of impending chronic illness. Governments make money from the very drugs and vaccines companies peddle to the medical profession and pharmacists. Did you know that hospital services, doctors and nurses, specialists, supply and service companies, medical equipment, emergency services – tens of thousands of people would become instantly unemployed
