Pharynx, oesophagus and swallowing

Pharynx and oesophagus – There are three stages to swallowing:

1. The voluntary forcing of food from the oral cavity into the pharynx; at this point, swallowing becomes a reflex action;
2. The passing of food from the pharynx to the oesophagus; pharyngeal nerves stimulate the trachea, eustachian tubes and the posterior opening of the nasopharynx to close. The tongue prevents food from reentering the mouth. So, the only place left for the food to go is into the oesophagus;
3. The passing of food from this organ to the stomach is aided by gravity. Muscular contractions (peristalsis) push food from one end of the oesophagus to the other. That occurs through alternate contractions of circular and longitudinal muscles in the oesophagal wall.

Pharynx and stomach

The last four centimetres of the oesophagus is the cardiac sphincter. So, a muscular valve prevents the stomach contents from reentering the oesophagus. However, most of this organ (about nine inches) lies within the thoracic cavity. And it is subject to subatmospheric pressures, as are the lungs. That is because the cardiac sphincter lies below the diaphragm. Moreover, it is subject to 5 to 10 mm/Hg of pressure higher than the atmosphere. This higher pressure would force the stomach contents back into the oesophagus if the cardiac sphincter were absent.

Alkalising colonic irrigation with sodium bicarbonate

Safe and effective colon hydrotherapy includes an initial consultation. Consequently, sodium bicarbonate delivered to the colon through hydrotherapy can kill off candida.
