What is the Natural Sphincter Cure for Oddi Dysfunction?

If you are here, you already know that the sphincter of Oddi is a strategic muscular valve that regulates the moving bile and pancreatic juice to the first part of the small intestine-duodenum.

What you probably don't know is that the liver and pancreas are alkaline digestive glands. The pancreatic gland produces very alkaline pancreatic juice and the liver produces alkaline bile. The alkalinity of bile and pancreatic juice is essential to the health of the digestive system. Unfortunately, modern foods, lack of exercise, chronic infections, environmental toxins and stress make our bodies acidic and super acidic.

Acid damages the pancreas and liver (bile) in many ways.

1. It leads to the precipitation of very aggressive, irritating substances such as bile acids.

Excreted bile acids irritate the gallbladder and cause abdominal colic or gallbladder attacks. 750,000 Americans lose their gallbladder each year. Many of them have acidic, constipated bile.

2. Acid leads to premature activation of the pancreatic digestive enzymes in this gland. So pancreatitis occurs.

3. Acidification of bile is a common factor in the production of bile sludge and gallstones.

4. The liver removes toxic substances through bile. Acidic, constipated bile cannot properly eliminate heavy metals, cholesterol, medications, alcohol, bile pigments and toxic metabolic substances in soluble form. Therefore, they can irritate the bile ducts and the sphincter of Oddi.

5. Eventually, the aggressive bile acids, toxins, and gallstones corrode and irritate the sphincter of Oddi, causing spasms, inflammation, which the doctor calls Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD).

We now live in the era of pharmaceutical and surgical medicine, so it is not surprising that the typical treatment for SOD is the use of painkillers and medications that relieve the pain and spasms. In some situations, patients with SOD are referred to psychiatrists and receive appropriate treatments. If it doesn't help, the surgeons come to the scene with virtuoso endoscopic manipulations such as measuring the pressure in the sphincter (manometry) or cutting the sphincter. The pharmaceutical and surgical approach can reduce symptoms but does not focus on the root of the problems. It is also unsafe and expensive.

When it comes to the sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, it is important to recognize the stage of this disorder. Relatively, it can be divided into three stages: functional, structural and ultimate failure of the proper functioning of this muscular valve, especially after removal of the gallbladder. Let's explain.

If a person has attacks of right upper abdominal pain and his imagination and blood tests are negative, this is a functional stage. Many doctors consider this condition to be biliary dyskinesia or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction type III. In decades of my medical experience, I am certain that non-drug and non-knife treatments are more appropriate for this stage. If we can make the bile and pancreatic juice alkaline and easily mobile and reduce irritation and spasms, we can relieve pain and indigestion. Many doctors and physicians around the world have been using alkaline diets, healing Karlovy Vary mineral waters, herbs and supplements, abdominal manipulations, and even medical hypnosis for hundreds of years. I have described this natural approach in detail in my books and articles.

If you receive symptomatic therapy that only masks the symptoms, aggressive, acidic bile and pancreatic juice, bile sludge, and gallstones continually damage the sphincter, causing inflammation, scarring, and many structural problems. It can eventually cause more pain and indigestion. The imaging and blood tests confirm this damage. Constant spasms of the sphincter of Oddi lead to high pressure and dilatation of the common bile duct and pancreatic ducts, which can be easily checked through a non-invasive ultrasound test.

In the structural stage, due to the low activity of bile and pancreatic digestive enzymes, various gastrointestinal symptoms occur, such as: B. Gas, bloating, belching, nausea, bile reflux, constipation, diarrhea and more. Even in the structural stage, complementary medicine focusing on the acidic, obstructed bile can relieve the pain and indigestion.

In case of failure of the sphincter of Oddi after removal of the gallbladder and multiple endoscopic manipulations and incisions, alternative medical methods retain their advantages. The main idea is to keep bile alkaline and liquid. For this we can use the alkaline diet, take Cellular Magnesium-Potassium, drink Karlovy Vary healing mineral water and herbal teas.

Drinking healing mineral water is popular in European countries for many digestive and metabolic disorders. In the case of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, Carlsbad healing mineral water can alkalize the entire body and, importantly, the liver and pancreas to make bile liquid and alkaline. It can also dissolve gallstones, promote digestion and the elimination of toxins. The safety and efficiency of Karlovy Vary healing mineral water has been proven through 500 years of use and many medical works and studies.

Another thousand-year-old complementary medicine method for treating SOD is acupuncture. Regular acupuncture can reduce cramps, pain, nausea, heartburn, constipation or diarrhea. It is essential in the era of opioid overuse. Additionally, acupuncture can treat opioid addiction.

Abdominal manipulations also have a long history. By using them we can reduce bile duct obstruction, adhesions, microcirculation and open passage of bile and pancreatic juice.

Stress, especially constant stress, is a common cause of muscle cramps and abdominal pain. This in turn creates additional stress, causing a vicious cycle. Oddi's sphincter is no exception. The stress-relieving approach for individuals with SOD may include acupuncture, massage, physical activity, taking herbs and supplements, and medical hypnosis.
