The Purpose Of The Stomach

The stomach is a j-shaped organ that digests food. It produces enzymes, which are substances that create chemical reactions. The stomach also uses acids or digestive juices. This mix of enzymes and digestive juices breaks down food to pass to your small intestine.

The stomach is part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is a long tube that starts at your mouth and ends at your anus. The GI tract is a key part of your digestive system. Your stomach's purpose is to digest food and send it to your small intestine.

Stomach explanation

Different sections of the stomach

Each part of your GI tract breaks down food and liquid and carries it through your body. During the digestive process, your body absorbs nutrients and water. Then, you expel the waste products of digestion through your large intestine.

The stomach makes acids, enzymes, and mucus for digestion, called gastric juice. Endocrine cells in the stomach release the hormone gastrin into the blood.

It helps control the function of the stomach. The stomach does not have a big role in the absorption of food. It absorbs only water, alcohol, and some drugs.

How The Body Processes Food

Food moves through your GI tract in a few steps. As you chew and swallow, your tongue pushes food into your throat. A small piece of tissue called the epiglottis covers your windpipe. It prevents choking.

Food travels down a hollow tube called the esophagus. At the bottom, your esophageal sphincter relaxes to let food pass to your stomach. A sphincter is a ring-shaped muscle that tightens and loosens.

The gastrointestinal tract, also called the digestive tract

The gastrointestinal tract, also called the digestive tract

The muscles of the stomach wall contract and relax, which mix the food with the acids and enzymes. Mucus helps protect the lining of the stomach from the acids.

Food and liquids break down into a thick, acidic, soupy mixture called chyme. Once chyme forms, the pyloric sphincter relaxes. Then the stomach muscles tighten and relax to help move the chyme into the duodenum.

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. After that the stomach holds food until it is ready to empty into your small intestine.

The Small Intestine Absorbs Nutrients

Food mixes with the digestive juices from your intestine, liver, and pancreas. Your intestinal walls absorb nutrients and water from food. They then send waste products to the large intestine.

Colon

Your intestinal walls absorb nutrients and water from food

Your large intestine turns waste products into stool. It pushes the stool into your rectum. The rectum is the lower portion of your large intestine. It stores stool until you have a bowel movement.

The size of the stomach varies from person to person. Your stomach expands when full and deflates when empty. Because of this, your stomach size can vary.

One of the most serious diseases of the stomach is cancer.

What Is Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer, which is also called gastric cancer, is a growth of cells that starts in the stomach. It can happen in any part of the stomach. In most of the world, stomach cancers occur in the central part of the stomach. 

In the United States, stomach cancer often starts in the gastroesophageal junction. It is where the long tube that carries food you swallow meets the stomach.

About 95% of the time, stomach cancer starts in the lining. Untreated, it can form a tumor and grow deeper into your stomach walls. The cancer may spread to nearby organs like your liver and pancreas.

Stomach cancer, which is also called gastric cancer, is a growth of cells that starts in the stomach.

Stomach cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. It's less common in the U.S. Only about 1.5% of stomach cancers get diagnosed each year in the U.S. It has been declining for the past ten years.

In 2020, there were more than 1,089,000 new cases of stomach cancer and 769,000 deaths. China, Japan, India, Russia, and South Korea were the top five countries for new cases of stomach cancer. The top five countries with the most deaths were China, India, Japan, Russia, and Brazil.

Stomach cancer cases and death rates in men aged 45–74 and 70–85 were higher than in women. In the population aged 20–44, the mortality rates in men were similar to those in women.

China, Japan, and India had the highest number of stomach cancer cases in 2022. Stomach cancer doesn't often cause symptoms during the early stages. Even the most common early signs of stomach cancer don't show up until the cancer is more advanced.

Symptoms of stomach cancer include:

  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Black stool
  • Feeling bloated after eating
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Heartburn and indigestion
  • Vomiting blood
  • Stomach pain

Many of these symptoms are common in other conditions, too. There are several ways doctors diagnose stomach cancer.

How Doctors Diagnose Stomach Cancer

Doctors may order several tests to diagnose and stage stomach cancer. Upper endoscopy is a common way to diagnose stomach cancer. The physician inserts a thin tube with a tiny camera called an endoscope at its tip into your mouth. 

It continues until it reaches your stomach. Small surgical instruments can pass through the endoscope. It allows the operator to remove a tissue sample. A lab then checks the sample for cancer cells.

Endoscopic ultrasound is a special endoscopy that can help stage the cancer. The endoscope has an ultrasound probe attached to its tip. It can take pictures of your stomach. The device can show if the cancer has spread from your stomach lining to your stomach wall.

Radiologic tests, including a CT scan, barium swallow, and MRI, can help identify tumors. During a barium swallow, you drink a substance that makes your stomach lining more visible on an X-ray. A PET scan can show if cancer has spread throughout your body.

Blood tests can offer information about how your organs are functioning. Poor organ function may show that cancer has spread to that organ.

Laparoscopy is a type of surgery. It's a less invasive method to find cancer. During laparoscopy, the provider inserts a tiny camera through minor cuts in the belly. They can then see your organs directly.

One cause of stomach cancer is emotional trauma.

Emotional Causes Of Stomach Cancer

Our emotional trauma has a massive impact on our well-being. Cancer patients share similar traits. The most common one is isolation or rejection from one of their parents. 

We learn to feel love and accept ourselves through our bond with our parents. Most of our relationships with our parents are often stressful and chaotic. If we have critical and condescending parents, we often lack self-confidence.

Dr. Brodie was a holistic practitioner. He focused on alternative and integrative medicine in the early 70s. Dr. Brodie treated thousands of cancer patients for fifty years. He then observed specific personality traits and stressors in all cancer patients.

Dr. Brodie saw that suppressed anger was the most common emotion in cancer patients. They often felt rejected by one or both parents. This parent rejection doesn't mean they didn't love them.

The parent might have been sick, which hindered that person from caring for them. Or the parent worked hard to provide for the children and did not see them after work. Your parents might have childhood trauma, which makes it hard for them to express love.

A German found the emotional causes of cancer and other diseases.

A German Doctor Found The Emotional Causes Of Cancer

Many cancer patients harbor long-suppressed toxic emotions, such as anger, resentment, or hostility. And many have great difficulty expressing their feelings. Because of this emotional trauma, they are bad at coping with stress.

Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer was a doctor who worked at a hospital in Munich, Germany. One day, he learned that his son Dirk Hamer had died. The murderer was an Italian prince who killed him during a freak accident.

Not long after, Dr. Hamer developed testicular cancer. At that point in his life, he had never experienced any severe diseases. Hamer thought it was strange that cancer grew in his body. He later believed that his son's death might have been behind his cancer growth. 

Dr. Hamer worked at a cancer clinic. Therefore, he was able to ask thousands of patients about their experiences. Hamer found out that everyone had some trauma before their cancer growth. He was able to interview and do CT scans of thousands of cancer patients.

After he gathered all the data, he made a remarkable discovery.

What Hamer Discovered After Doing CT Scans Of Cancer Patients

Hamer found a white spot on the CT scans of every cancer patient. Patients with a similar diagnosis had this concentric ring in the same place in the brain. 

Dr. Hamer realized that each patient had some trauma that caught them off guard. The brain then utilized specific biological programs to deal with the problem. Hamer later created German New Medicine(GNM) to explain this new way of medicine.

Immune system attacked by cancer cells

Every cancer starts with a painful, acute, dramatic, and isolating shock

Every cancer starts with a painful, acute, dramatic, and isolating shock. The distress happens in the psyche, the brain, and the organ at the same time.

According to Dr. Hamer, a perceived conflict or shock impacts the body in a particular way. The brain cells affected by the shock relay it to the corresponding organ or gland.

The traumatic event is often beyond the patient's control. Examples include losing a loved one, business, job, home, or other major disaster. It is not a stressful event that causes cancer, but our inability to cope with the situation.

Cancer is not an accident but a response to a stressful event.

Cancer Is Not An Accident

Our body can't distinguish between imagined and real situations. Your body will trigger the same response when you get chased by a bear or imagine it. That's why our worry and stress can trigger the cancer response even if we're not in danger anymore.

Cancer is not an accident but a response to a stressful event

Animals are better at letting go of a stressful situation than humans. Have you ever seen ducks fight? One duck will attack the other duck if it's too close. After the fight, both ducks flap their wings to eliminate the toxic energy.

Humans, though, have a hard time letting go of their toxic thought patterns. That's why they can keep the negative incident alive even if it's over.

All diseases are part of biological programs.

Diseases Are Biological Programs

The body uses different parts to resolve biological issues. Almost every gland and organ creates our emotions. If the brain needs you to be angry, it tells the liver or gallbladder to generate those emotions. You will then be aware of the situation and act.

Dr. Hamer noticed that all diseases have two phases. We have the disease phase where cancer often grows. But sometimes there is a cell loss in the disease phase.

The body uses various biological programs to deal with stress

If you resolve the situation, you go to the healing phase. With some cancers, the cancer stops growing. In other cases, the lost cells grow back. Medicine sees the cell growth as cancer. But in reality, it's a replenishing of lost cells.

Most people go in and out of the healing and disease stages. They have a problem with letting go of their negative thoughts. When they discover that they have cancer, they become even more stressed. That shock can lead to secondary cancers. 

Even if survival rates seem slim according to doctors, cancer is still not a death sentence. Many people treat cancer as a lethal disease that ought to kill them. They then use toxic treatments such as chemotherapy that end up killing them. 

Cancer is not a disease but rather a survival mechanism of the body.

Cancer Is A Survival Mechanism, Not A Disease

We can relax and fix the underlying emotional cause when we stop seeing cancer as our enemy. The body can then go back to homeostasis. Homeostasis is a healthy state that your body wants to return to.

If you don't want to experience cancer anymore, you need to let go of the trauma. If you still dwell on it, you will only repeat the healing and disease stage.

Cancer manifests after a biological conflict

The brain starts the stomach cancer process after patients experience a surprising shock. Specific biological programs start depending on the patient's interpretation of the situation. How you deal with the situation will determine where the cancer will grow in the stomach. 

So let's explore what Dr. Hamer discovered about stomach cancer.

The Emotional Cause Of Cancer In The Stomach And Duodenum

Your brainstem controls the stomach and duodenum. The control center of the stomach sits between the esophagus and liver relays. Your duodenum uses the brain relays of the pancreas and small intestine.

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine, which absorbs nutrients. It receives bile from the liver and pancreatic juices in the pancreas.

The biological conflict of the stomach and duodenum is an indigestible morsel conflict. For animals, an indigestible morsel is about a real piece of food. In humans, this conflict can happen in any situation or circumstance. It has to do with things you can't digest or stomach.

An angry man

The biological conflict of the stomach and duodenum is an indigestible morsel conflict.

Arguments with family members often bring on the conflict. It can be a fight over an inheritance, a property, or money. Or the trigger can be insults or accusations that are hard to digest. 

During the conflict-active phase, cell numbers in the stomach or duodenum increase. They grow according to the intensity of the conflict. 

The cell increase improves the production of gastric juices and digestive fluids. Your body uses this biological program to digest better and absorb the conflict.

If the cell division exceeds a specific limit, doctors see the cancer as "malignant." And if it's below that limit, the growth is "benign" or diagnosed as a polyp.

During the conflict-active phase, the stomach slows down. It affects the movement of the stomach muscles. Symptoms include stomach cramps and nausea.

After the conflict resolution, the healing phase starts.

Healing Phase Of The Stomach And Duodenum 

During the healing phase, fungi or mycobacteria remove the cells that are no longer needed. Fungi and tubercular bacteria are stomach acid-resistant.

Healing symptoms are nausea, indigestion, abdominal pain, and night sweats. Depending on the degree of the conflict, the symptoms range from mild to severe. In acute cases, the vomit contains blood.

Vomiting is a positive sign of the healing process of stomach cancer

Eating toxic food also causes an upset stomach and vomiting. If you exclude food as a source, vomiting is a positive sign of the healing process. It's a process to expel the morsel even without the help of microbes.

Without bacterial cells in the stomach or duodenum, cells remain without further cell division. Later, the growth becomes encapsulated with connective tissue. 

The brain also initiates cancer in other parts of the stomach.

The Brain Connection To Cancer In The Lesser Curvature, Pylorus, And Duodenal Bulb

Your stomach has a lesser and a greater curvature. The smaller one is on the left side. It extends from the esophageal sphincter to the pylorus. The pylorus is a short, funnel-shaped tube that connects the stomach with the duodenum.

The brain has one part called the temporal lobe. It controls the lesser curvature, the pylorus, and the duodenal bulb. The control center sits across from the brain relay of the rectum lining.

They also share the same brain relay as the bile ducts, the gallbladder, and the pancreatic ducts.

Therefore, these organs have the same biological conflict. Which one of these organs gets cancer is random. A severe conflict can affect all organs at once.

Let's look at the emotional cause of cancer in the lesser curvature, pylorus, and duodenal bulb.

Emotional Causes Of Cancer In The Lesser Curvature, Pylorus, And Duodenal Bulb

The biological conflict of the lesser curvature, pylorus, and duodenal bulb is a territorial anger conflict. It's a fight in the territory. Or it can be an identity conflict. It depends on a person's gender, laterality, and hormone status.

The biological conflict of the lesser curvature, pylorus, and duodenal bulb is a territorial anger conflict

Territorial anger relates to anger in the environment. It's a place one considers as one's domain, literally or figuratively. Typical territorial anger conflicts are:

  • Disputes at home
  • Anger at school
  • Conflicts in senior or nursing homes
  • Conflict in the village, town, or country
  • A fight over a parking place or a toy
  • Feuds at work
  • Conflict in the daycare or playground
  • Trauma in the hospital
  • Battles over land or property

All these examples can provoke a territorial anger conflict. The cause of an identity conflict is the inability to find one's position or place in life. An unwanted move, a change of school, or a workplace can activate the conflict.

Examples of things that can cause this conflict include:

  • Feeling unsettled
  • Not knowing where to belong
  • Not finding one's place in a relationship or within the family
  • Not knowing one's place in the group at work
  • Not finding one's place in the culture or society at large
  • Discrimination against one's belief or sexual orientation
  • Not knowing what choice to make
  • Not knowing where to go

The biological purpose of the cell loss is to widen the passageway of the digestive tract. Your body can then use nutrients better. This biological program provides the individual with more energy to resolve the conflict.

Symptoms include indigestion and mild to severe pain. It depends on the intensity of the territorial anger conflict. Painful ulcers develop when a territorial anger conflict persists for a long time. Stomach (peptic), pyloric, and duodenal ulcers often occur together.

If ulcers reach deep into the tissue, the epithelial layer becomes thin and ruptures. A hole in the stomach is a life-threatening situation.

After the conflict phase, the body goes to the healing stage.

Healing Phase Of The Lesser Curvature, Pylorus, And Duodenal Bulb 

During a territorial anger conflict, the sphincter opens. It causes a reflux of stomach acid. The backflow of gastric acid might irritate the esophagus. But it can never cause esophageal cancer.

During the first part of the healing phase, new cells replenish the tissue loss. Conventional medicine diagnoses it as stomach cancer or duodenal cancer. According to GNM, the new cells can't be cancer cells. They are part of a replenishing process. 

Healing symptoms include swelling due to an edema containing fluid. It causes stomach pain, which could last throughout the healing phase. The pain comes from the pressure.

According to conventional medicine, gastric acid causes stomach ulcers. But this is inaccurate according to GNM.

Helicobacter Pylori Is Not Behind Ulcers And Cancer

The stomach produces gastric acid and stores it in the greater curvature of the stomach. But it never develops ulcers. 

Ulcers form only in the stomach lining in the lesser curvature or the pylorus. Barry Marshall and Robin Warren got the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2005

Close-up of helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori does not cause stomach ulcers

They said that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori caused stomach ulcers. But it's false because microbes are only active in the healing phase. Therefore, Helicobacter pylori does not cause stomach ulcers.

Instead, it restores the stomach and pylorus lining after the conflict. There is no proof that germs cause diseases. It's still one of the biggest health frauds. 

The biggest one is that viruses exist and cause diseases.

Viruses Do Not Cause Stomach Issues

Medicine says that inflammation of the GI tract is due to a virus. But from the GNM perspective, stomach flu outbreaks are unrelated to viruses. 

There is no scientific proof of viruses. Instead, indigestible morsels and territorial anger conflicts cause stomach issues. A group of people can share the same conflict environment.

They can experience it in cities, villages, family, colleagues, or schoolmates. Or they can have conflicts with roommates, friends, or the workplace.

Territorial anger conflicts can involve large numbers of people. Unexpected, upsetting political decisions can trigger regional conflict shocks. Stomach outbreaks can then follow.
