“All disease begins in the gut.” - Hippocrates, a.k.a. the Father of Modern Medicine and name sake of the Hippocratic Oath Hippocrates made that statement over 2,000 years ago and we are now discovering through research that he was correct in his statement. Many of the health issues/conditions that people have been experiencing in today society can be linked to their gut. Some of these health conditions are:
How can the gut cause these health conditions?The answer to that question is due to a GI condition call Leaky Gut Syndrome aka “Intestinal Hyperpermability.” Leaky Gut Syndrome is a condition that is the consequence of intestinal tight junction malfunction. Tight Junctions are the gate keepers between the intestines and the blood stream. The responsibility of tight junctions is not to allow any foreign materials in the blood stream. In the condition of Leaky Gut Syndrome, the tight junctions are damaged and destroyed that will allow undigestive food particles, toxic waste, and bacteria in the blood stream. Once these foreign materials have entered into the blood stream, the body will elicit an immune response as well as inflammation in the body causing a variety of diseases. What causes the body to develop Leaky Gut Syndrome? Through research it has been discovered that Leaky Gut Syndrome is caused by four components:
The most common type of food that will cause Leaky Gut Syndrome is gluten, GMOs, sugar, and diary. These foods contain different type of enzymes and proteins that attack the gut lining due to the composition of the gut lining in the body. Once these foreign particles are in the blood stream from damage of the gut lining, the effects will lead to the following symptoms such as: 1. Food Sensitivities 2. Inflammatory Bowel Disease 3. Autoimmune Disease 4. Thyroid Problems 5. Malabsorption 6. Inflammatory Skin Conditions 7.
