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. 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.
