Mucoid plaque is created by the body to protect itself when it is under attack by acids, or toxic compounds such as drugs (esp. aspirin and alcohol), salt, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, antigen antibody complexes, microbial activity, the toxins produced by incomplete digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. And all of these substances have been found in mucoid plaque. After a meal, the body naturally attempts to digest and assimilate food.
However, mucoid plaque may inhibit this process. The body will attempt to assimilate anything in the bowel, even mucoid plaque. When the body attempts to absorb food but there is only mucoid plaque, which acts as a barrier to the food, then mucoid plaque and whatever elements it contains are likely to enter the bloodstream. Therefore, it stands to reason that, if we have contaminated mucoid plaque in our bowels, our blood will be toxic as well.
Mucoid plaque found in the bowel is not equivalent to the natural healthy gastric and intestinal mucosa. Doctors, when viewing the inside of the intestines, believe that they are seeing the normal mucosa, when they are actually seeing mucoid plaque.
Research indicates that in fact it would be very rare to see normal mucosa because the layer or layers of mucoid plaque that cover the entire intestinal tract are so common. The natural mucosa is beneath the glycocalyz and is meant to serve as the necessary buffer for the gastrointestinal wall, and as a lubricant for peristalsis-but cannot when it is covered by mucoid plaque. Hence, mucoid plaque is usually associated with some degree of constipation as well as various other bowel irritations and problems. Many doctors who are unaware of mucoid plaque believe that the mucoid plaque is the normal mucosa. This is not true.

What is mucoid plaque and why is it created?
Mucoid plaque is primarily composed of glycoproteins called mucin. More specifically, mucin contains more than 50% carbohydrates and more than 20 amino acids. Mucin is associated with normal epithelium as well as with carcinomas of the lung, breast, ovary, and gastrointestinal tract. Other ingredients include water, electrolytes, sloughed off epithelial cells, bacteria and bacterial by-products, digested food (fecal matter), plasma proteins, bile salts, pancreatic enzymes, and most all other constituents normally found in the intestinal juice.Mucoid plaque is created by the body to protect itself when it is under attack by acids, or toxic compounds such as drugs (esp. aspirin and alcohol), salt, heavy metals, toxic chemicals, antigen antibody complexes, microbial activity, the toxins produced by incomplete digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
