Yes this is very true. Whenever you introduce a chemical or any other
strange spurious element into your body, you are forcing it to create
mechanisms (short-circuits, so to say) in order to digest the “intruders”.
This leads to cellular fatigue and wear-out, DNA mutations and finally to
cancer. Apart from cancers induced by tobacco, alcohol or electromagnetic
devices, all the other cancers have a digestive component. Flatulence,
perhaps the first and foremost sign of digestive trouble, is another
example of a short-circuit: the body trying to get rid of the poisons.
Flatulence is caused by many factors, but above all by a high consumption
of grains. This is to show again how inadequate grains can be to the human
diet, especially when they are a staple.
