Colonic Motility
Author: Sushil K. Sarna
Publisher: Biota Publishing
ISBN: 1615041516
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Three distinct types of contractions perform colonic motility functions. Rhythmic phasic contractions (RPCs) cause slow net distal propulsion with extensive mixing/turning over. Infrequently occurring giant migrating contractions (GMCs) produce mass movements. Tonic contractions aid RPCs in their motor function. The spatiotemporal patterns of these contractions differ markedly. The amplitude and distance of propagation of a GMC are several-fold larger than those of an RPC. The enteric neurons and smooth muscle cells are the core regulators of all three types of contractions. The regulation of contractions by these mechanisms is modifiable by extrinsic factors: CNS, autonomic neurons, hormones, inflammatory mediators, and stress mediators. Only the GMCs produce descending inhibition, which accommodates the large bolus being propelled without increasing muscle tone. The strong compression of the colon wall generates afferent signals that are below nociceptive threshold in healthy subjects. However, these signals become nociceptive; if the amplitudes of GMCs increase, afferent nerves become hypersensitive, or descending inhibition is impaired. The GMCs also provide the force for rapid propulsion of feces and descending inhibition to relax the internal anal sphincter during defecation. The dysregulation of GMCs is a major factor in colonic motility disorders: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease (DD). Frequent mass movements by GMCs cause diarrhea in diarrhea predominant IBS, IBD, and DD, while a decrease in the frequency of GMCs causes constipation. The GMCs generate the afferent signals for intermittent short-lived episodes of abdominal cramping in these disorders. Epigenetic dysregulation due to adverse events in early life is one of the major factors in generating the symptoms of IBS in adulthood.

Book Description
This book kept me reading all night. I couldnt put it down! -- Brad DeMeulenaere I had my first colonic at age 26. I am now 56 and have seen a total of five colon hygienists, four within the past six years. Ive been through the forest of medical doctors and many different alternative health practitioners. Much of the time, I have sensed a frustration from them. Sometimes its a frustration that they cant figure out how to help me and sometimes it feels like a cumulative frustration from all the others they havent been able to help. But sometimes I feel that their frustration is directed to me personally, as if they wished I would just get myself together and feel better. Lord knows, I havent always made the best choices for my health. When I saw Scott Webb, I felt a lack of that frustration and no hint of blame. It was evident to me that he saw the big picture and how we have been affected by our culture. Scotts message was truly one of hope which brought me a sense of relief and peace. That is definitely a place where healing can begin, when you feel no blame, just peace and hope. -- Victoria Lovett One of Americas leading colonic therapists gives you the inside scoop on digestive disorders that you or a loved one might be experiencing. Learn how to: cleanse your colon and your whole body, reduce your risk of common diseases, understand the deeper issues of weight loss, beat underlying causes of depression, improve your diet to overcome constipation, visualize yourself well and feel better every day! Scott W. Webb dares to defy conventional wisdom about health and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knows the inside poop about many secrets you have not heard yet -- until now!
