Functional Dyspepsia (Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia)

FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA (NON-ULCER DYSPEPSIA)

 

There may be many people who experienced unpleasant impression of

stomach trouble and run to their family doctors, and asked inspection

with endoscope (gastro-camera). But doctors found no abnormality and

no ulcerous parts in the stomach. Yet, unpleasant impression in the

stomach remains, having the leaning and nauseating effect of the

stomach, and no appetite at all. Endoscopic inspection found no

inflammation or abnormalities in the mucous membrane of the stomach.

 

*What's wrong, then? What does make you feel non-ulcer dyspepsia?*

 

Since several years ago, we understood that people who work hard and

hold positions are usually restless and stressed and so the cause of

dyspepsia.

 

Three years ago, my younger brother (67 years old now) started to

complain his stomach problem. He has been a long time user of the

PYRO-ENERGEN machine, but his stomach problems have never been

eradicated. So he went to the hospital and his stomach was inspected

but found nothing wrong with his stomach.

 

He suspected that it might be caused by helicobacter pylori, so the

same hospital conducted a clinical test and found negative pylori

bacteria.

 

His doctors suggested him to have some vacation for a while. All my

brothers held a meeting to find a way to close his business office

permanently. Then, in September 2007, he decided to end his business

and retired from all his works. He moved from his big office

condominium to a small and simple condominium located on the fifth

floor where he can see the Yodo River and its bank where hundreds of

cherry trees are planted. He jogs every early in the morning for

about one hour around the riverbank. He claims that from the day he

closed his business and retired from all his works, his appetite

increased dramatically. He gained about 5 kilograms in weight and his

non-ulcer dyspepsia disappeared. He claims that his frozen shoulder

also disappeared. He claims that his symptoms like that of chronic

fatigue syndrome also disappeared. He now claims that all his

maladies were caused by stress and overwork. From his physical

records, we can think that many maladies we experience might be

caused by some kind of stress and overwork.

 

*How does non-ulcer dyspepsia occur then?*

 

The word dyspepsia comes from the Greek " Dys- " meaning hard or

difficult, and " Pepse " , meaning digestion. Many people get dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia is often caused by lifestyle factors such as smoking, kind

of work, and eating habits, but there are some serious causes such as

cancer of the stomach, peptic ulcer and some medications. When people

have dyspepsia but no risk factors for any of the serious causes, it

can be labeled " undifferentiated dyspepsia " and treated without

further investigations. When people have been investigated for

dyspepsia but no cause has been found it can be labeled

as " functional dyspepsia " .

 

It may be necessary to refine and study once again what we said and

what we researched to make the statements we made to be true to all.

Does stress really cause dyspepsia? Does stress really make you sick?

Anyway, there is no one who denies it.

 

*How does stress cause dyspepsia symptoms?*

 

Once you have some problems or stress, the stomach function decreases

its motion. In other words, the stomach is just like rubber,

expanding and contracting, and digesting the food, sending it out to

the small intestine. But the said function had stopped expanding and

contracting well. What is the cause of it? Is it really stress? Yes,

it maybe. Of course, there may be other reasons such as overfatigue,

irregular food intake, and too much alcohol intake.

 

Such symptoms are named as NON-ULCER DYSPEPSIA. Also, there is a

symptom of what we call " heartburn " . Usually, heartburn occurs when

gastric acid runs backward, which means from stomach to gullet. These

occurrences are sometimes difficult to diagnose even by experienced

doctors.

 

Now, you may say that you knew all of these statements, but don't you

know that a simple dyspepsia symptom you feel could be a dangerous

sign for another malady? A popular American medical magazine reported

that there are new types of dyspepsia. It says that you just look at

your stomach through an endoscope or ultrasound, then you will get

well. Is this true?

 

Until recently, we thought that the feeling of heavy stomach is

caused by too much eating or some kind of stopping or resting of the

stomach function. To find the cause, we tried to investigate the

stomach function using endoscope on several volunteers, and let them

drink water. Then, we understood that there were people who easily

felt heavy stomach although no defects or problems are found.

 

According to a doctor who was in charge of the clinical test told us

that the volunteers, who felt heavy stomach or dyspepsia, were

because their stomach overworked. What does overwork of stomach mean?

 

The average quantity of gastric acid produced by an average person is

about 2 liters a day. The stomach muscle and the gastric acid mash

the food you eat, and the food is sent to the small intestine. The

answer to overworking stomach is either one of them. When the stomach

muscle has fatigue symptoms, then it will not digest the food well.

Sometimes, gastric acid goes to the small intestine ahead of the food

before digesting it. We believe that they are the main reasons of

dyspepsia.

 

To verify the definite answer, we inserted an endoscope to several

volunteers, and manually poured synthetic gastric acid to their small

intestines. There we found that the stomach function of very healthy

and gluttonous volunteers suddenly stopped. All of them felt no

appetite and heavy stomach, although their stomachs were empty. This

is the new type of dyspepsia modern medical science found about three

years ago.

 

Our stomach has gastric acid that digests the food we eat. It is a

very strong acid consisting mainly of hydrochloric acid. When the

food is sent to the small intestine, the acid goes together with it.

If the acid flows continuously to the intestine, the intestine will

have some damages on the surface. To avoid such damages, the

intestine is made to produce alkaline materials that neutralize the

area.

 

However, sometimes, its neutralizing system goes wrong due to some

unwanted food intake such as overeating, overdrinking, or other

toxicities. When such incident happens, the intestine sends signal to

the brain to control the stomach function. This function is called

dyspepsia. Of course, the clinical definition of dyspepsia is unclear

up to now. Unlike stomach cancer and ulcer, the function of stomach

just stop and make you feel unpleasant, which is called non-ulcer

dyspepsia. This will then create true stomach illness later on.

 

*What is the cause of such non-ulcer dyspepsia?*

 

Medical findings for non-ulcer dyspepsia are more on stress and

imagination. Do you believe it?

 

Stress or pressure to your mind causes dyspepsia and creates some bad

effect.

Stress causes some kind of sense to your mind (brain) that will

create more stress, and the stress will send a signal to your stomach

as dyspepsia.

Stress makes dyspepsia, and feeling of dyspepsia creates more stress.

We call this the " vicious circle of stress " .

 

Most patients who consulted doctors were informed that there was

nothing wrong with their stomach. Moreover, when the ultrasound

results or endoscope results on the screen were shown to them, they

were convinced and got well instantly. Do you believe that they got

well just by means of seeing their stomach in front of their eyes on

the screen?

 

In fact, ultrasound viewing have been practiced since a long time

ago, however, patients were not explained seeing the result on the

screen. Today, doctors realized that patients should see their own

stomach, so that they will get well instantly, if it is non-ulcer

dyspepsia.

 

Conclusion: For unpleasant impression of stomach troubles, run to

your family doctors, and ask clinical diagnosis or inspection with

endoscope. If your doctors found nothing wrong with your stomach,

then the cause of your stomach trouble is probably just stress.

TRIVIA

 

Don't you know that by means of wearing blue sunglasses or eyeglasses

whenever you eat meals will reduce your weight without any heavy

effort. You can reduce your weight as heavy as 10 kg (22 lbs.) in a

month period. Try it. No side effects at all.

 

Now, I'll tell you to change the outdoor light to blue color. You can

use blue fluorescent lamp or blue LED light, instead of white

fluorescent or incandescent lamp. Did you know that the blue color

reduces crime on the street, and the blue color makes people calm and

businesses will prosper more?

 

Many streets in cities in Japan are now replacing outdoor night-

lights to blue fluorescent lamp or LED light. Studies reported that

crimes in these areas reduced dramatically and businesses are

prospering greatly.

 

Can you answer the above reasons why?
