Colon Cancer see also Intestinal Disorde Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

The colon, a part of the large intestine responsible for digestion, is one of the most common sites for cancer in North America due to excessive consumption of refined meats, grains, sugar, and other hard-to-digest foods. However, other factors come into play, such as the relentless pursuit of satisfaction, pleasure, and material desires, combined with daily physical, emotional, and mental states (striving for excellence, anxiety, stress, etc.).

When I have little inner joy and am somewhat dissatisfied with life, I may use food to inhibit my emotions, offering a quick solution to fulfill my needs. It's an easily accessible form of reward. Stress, lifestyle, and heredity could also be predisposing factors. Colon cancer can arise from similar causes as constipation but with a deeper emotional factor. My intestines may function normally, yet I can still develop colon cancer. My intestines strive to keep me healthy, and I should reciprocate by maintaining their well-being. I'm opening myself to life's joys, expressing my emotions, and adopting various forms of physical and inner relaxation to lead a more balanced existence.

Colostomy involves creating an artificial anus by connecting a portion of the colon to the abdominal wall skin. Typically, this procedure is performed after a diagnosis of bowel cancer. Refer to anus issues, gastrointestinal problems, and cancer for additional context.

The intestines, or the intestinal tract, extend from the duodenum to the anus. It consists of the small intestine, crucial for nutrient absorption, and the colon (large intestine), primarily responsible for processing waste and reabsorbing water, forming feces. The colon stores food waste, what the body no longer requires.
Issues in the small intestine include tumors, cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, and sometimes diarrhea.
Colon problems encompass stress, diarrhea, colics, colitis, intestinal gas, tumors, cancer, cramps, gastroenteritis, and parasites. Refer to specific issues in this book in addition to the following definition.
When problems arise in the small intestine, it's often linked to an individual's difficulty in retaining and absorbing what's beneficial from daily life events. They tend to fixate on details rather than seeing the bigger picture. Even if only a part of a situation doesn't suit them, their inclination is to reject it all, fearing a lack of something essential.
Issues in the large intestine typically involve struggling to let go of old ideas or beliefs that are no longer useful (constipation) or too quickly dismissing thoughts that could be beneficial (diarrhea). Individuals often face significant setbacks that they find difficult to digest.
Bowel problems carry an important message: to nourish oneself with positive thoughts rather than fears and devaluing thoughts. There's no need to believe in scarcity in your material world. Work on your faith, have faith in the divine presence within you and in the universe that cares for all living things on this planet, including yourself. Release the old within you to make space for the new. See also "tummy ache."
The gut serves as the center for absorbing and integrating food, emotions, and one's current reality. Anything causing sadness, fear, confusion, rebellion, shame, or discordant thoughts can manifest as bowel problems. Digestion occurs at this level, so setbacks and feelings of being victimized may lead to intestinal discomfort. If the small intestine is affected, there may be a tendency to overly judge situations, forming strong opinions about what's "right" or "wrong," coupled with a sense of lacking in life. The bowels, especially the large intestines, also relate to one's ability to let go, feel safe enough to be spontaneous, and symbolize releasing past events. Some individuals possess a strong need to control aspects of life, leading to congestion in the bowels as they cling to unnecessary things, often out of jealousy and possessiveness. It's essential to learn autonomy, recognizing that all necessary resources exist within to create what's desired. The only person one can control is oneself.



The only person one can control is oneself.

Oxyuriasis is an intestinal infestation caused by a type of white worm known as pinworms. These pinworms are the most common intestinal parasites, especially in children. For more information, please refer to the section on parasites.

Colic refers to abdominal pain characterized by a persistent and uncomfortable background ache. It can encompass the entire abdomen or be localized to a specific point (distinct from colitis, which is inflammation of the colon). Colic often brings an urgency to use the restroom and, when more intense, can be accompanied by painful diarrhea. For further details, see diarrhea and gastrointestinal issues.
