Archived News of the WeekLeaky Gut SyndromeNow that we have eliminated the nasty parasites from your system, we must now heal your gut so that it regains its integrity, thereby becoming strong enough to resist re-infections. Most of you are so thrilled that you don't have to take the nasty tasting Jug Art anymore that you strongly resist continuing on for another few weeks with the healing portion of post-dysbiosis. Remember: Dysbiosis means "a state of altered microbial ecology." Let me start from the beginning, though, as leaky gut is really a result of a six-step process and let's use parasites as our dysbiotic example:
Because of the extra toxic load your food allergies are causing, you will now start getting sick with strange and seemingly unrelated things. Food and parasite antigens can be directed anywhere, and can attach themselves to any organ system. Depending on your particular weak spot, they can and will create illness there. For example, antigens could go to the bowel where it all started and create Crohns Disease or IBS; or to your bladder with chronic cystitis; your joints with arthritis; your brain with symptoms of depression. Personal aside: I have arthritis in both of my shoulders due to ski injuries in my 20's and with exercise, massage and other treatments, I can usually keep them pretty pain-free. However when I have parasites, my shoulder arthritis acts up big-time they ache and feel awful - and I can imagine all the little slithery things - "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play pinochle on my snout" - creating havoc in my long-injured joints. Once I get the parasites under control, the pain returns to its normal manageable state. So, you can see that once the toxins leave the walls of your bowel, all hell breaks loose. Now that the toxic and antigenic proteins are in your bloodstream they can and will be carried in a constant toxic stream to every part of your body to your liver, lymphatic system, lungs, kidneys to overburden and sometimes overwhelm your body. Simple equation: Processed foods and antibiotics lead to an unhealthy GI tract leads to Leaky Gut leads to multitudinous diseases including cancer. Bottom Line: If your colon isn't clean and functioning properly, then you simply aren't healthy. This is why all of those old-time naturopaths kept saying that good health starts in the gut. Next time, I will discuss what we can do to heal your leaky gut.
