  20. Reactive Jejunalgia [1] About that time, as it happened, Antiochus had retreated in disorder from the region of Persia... [4] Transported with rage, he conceived the idea of turning upon the Jews the injury done by those who had put him to flight; so he ordered his charioteer to drive without stopping until he completed the journey. But the judgment of heaven rode with him! For in his arrogance he said, “When I get there I will make Jerusalem a cemetery of Jews.”

  21. Reactive Jejunalgia [5] But the all-seeing Lord, the God of Israel, struck him an incurable and unseen blow. As soon as he ceased speaking he was seized with a pain in his bowels for which there was no relief and with sharp internal tortures [6] and that very justly, for he had tortured the bowels of others with many and strange inflictions. II Maccabees9:1-6

  27. Hereditary Intestinal Extrusion 12And a letter came to him {King Jehoram} from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the LORD God of your father David: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, ... behold, the LORD will strike your people with a serious affliction--your children, your wives, and all your possessions; 15and you will become very sick with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day. II Chronicles 21:12-15

Hereditary Intestinal Extrusion • Aetiology: disobedience to God • People in authority are far more susceptible (e.g. Arius the priest) • Treatable with Repentotherapy, but only if the patient is motivated • Inheritance can only be prevented with radical Repentotherapy 12And a letter came to him {King Jehoram} from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says the LORD God of your father David: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, ... behold, the LORD will strike your people with a serious affliction--your children, your wives, and all your possessions; 15and you will become very sick with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day. II Chronicles 21:12-15

  29. Hereditary Intestinal Extrusion Now Arius, in anticipation of his triumph, strutted haughtily among his friends, while his followers paraded the streets in smug arrogance. At three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, while Arius stood in the main square of Constantinople, he was suddenly seized with severe colic. He asked for a place of rest, and was directed to a nearby one behind the Forum. While inside, a sudden sickness gripped him, and he bled profusely. Some time later, his friends missing him, and worrying about his delay, went in to see him, and to their horror found him dead. The Story of the Copts by Iris Habib Elmasri
