Disorders of the Gallbladder and Bile Ducts

By Andreas Moritz

The liver secretes bile, which passes via the two hepatic ducts into the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct runs for 1.5 inches before being joined by the cystic duct coming from the gallbladder. Before bile continues its journey through the common bile duct into the intestinal tract, it must flow into the gallbladder.

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped pouch that protrudes from the bile duct. It is attached to the posterior side of the liver (see […]

Disorders of the Liver

By Andreas Moritz

The liver is the largest gland in the body. It weighs up to three pounds, it is suspended behind the ribs on the upper right side of the abdomen and spans almost the entire width of the body. Being responsible for hundreds of different functions, it is also the most complex and active organ in the human body.

Since the liver is in charge of processing, converting, distributing and maintaining the body’s vital ‘fuel’ supply (e.g., nutrients and […]

Disorders of the Pancreas

By Andreas Moritz

The pancreas is a small gland with its ‘head’ lying in the curve of the duodenum. Its main duct joins the common bile duct (of the liver and gallbladder) to form what is known as the ampulla of the bile duct. The ampulla enters the duodenum at its midpoint. Apart from secreting the hormones, insulin and glucagon, the pancreas produces pancreatic juice containing enzymes that digest carbohydrates, proteins and fats. When acid stomach contents enter the duodenum, they are […]

Disorders of the Stomach

By Andreas Moritz

Gallstones and subsequent digestive difficulties can lead to regurgitation of bile acids and bile salts into the stomach. Such an occurrence adversely changes the composition and amount of mucous generated in the stomach. The mucous is there to protect the surface lining of the stomach from the destructive effects of hydrochloric acid. The condition where this protective ‘shield’ is broken or diminished is known as gastritis.

Gastritis can occur in acute or chronic form. When the surface cells […]

Disorders of the Mouth

By Andreas Moritz

Gallstones in the liver and gallbladder can be held responsible for most diseases of the mouth. The stones interfere with the digestion and absorption of food, which in turn forces waste products meant for elimination to remain in the intestinal tract. Bacterial infection (thrush) and viral infection (herpes) in the mouth arise only when waste decomposes and becomes a source of toxicity in the body. The trapped toxins constantly irritate parts of the gastro-intestinal lining (which begins in the […]

Disorders of the Digestive System

By Andreas Moritz

There are four main activities in the alimentary tract of our digestive system: Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption and Elimination.

The alimentary canal begins at the mouth, passes through the thorax, abdomen and pelvis region, and ends at the anus (see Figure 1). When food is ingested, a series of digestive processes begin to take place. These can be divided into the mechanical breakdown of food through mastication (chewing) and chemical breakdown of food through enzymes. These enzymes are present […]

We Take Birth to Realize our True Identity

We Take Birth to Realize our True Identity

Each soul will eventually recognize that it is part of the larger ‘IT’, the larger ‘THAT’. It will recognize that and that is why we make these journeys on the human planet to get there because we are putting ourselves into often very difficult situations, where we lose our identity, where we are, we think, let’s say “I am a great man, I have done so many […]
