Having Too Few Gut Microbes is a Disease
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
A study published in the August issue of the journal, Nature, did a genetic analysis on the number of gut microbes in 292 Danes and found that 25% have up to 40% fewer gut bacteria and reduced bacterial diversity. This was accompanied by low grade inflammation, weakened immunity, an increase in the incidence of obesity!
Decreased numbers and...
Healing With Enzymes Ellen Cutler, DC, MD
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Digestion is just one aspect of what the GI tract does. It also regulates absorption and blockage of toxins and immunity.

Enzymes can be used to profoundly affect digestion and the products it creates that are related to health and disease.
How Chocolate Reduces Risk for Heart Attacks and Strokes
submitted by: admin on 10/22/2018
Scientists from LSU Medical Center reported at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition on how the flora in the intestinal tract digest chocolate and convert its large, poorly absorbed, polyphenols that protect the heart and brain from inflammation, into smaller, more easily absorbed antioxidants.

Is Obesity Linked to our Gut Microflora?
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
A recent Cedar-Sinai study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism in April of 2013 could predict who is obese based on a breath test for hydrogen and methane. The question raised is are there bacteria in the gut that cause obesity by allowing the body to extract calories better. The issue that was not raised is could having...

LEAKY GUT: Nutritional Support Protocol
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
The intestinal lining has the paradoxical role of selectively letting into the body those chemicals, which it needs, and keeping out what is toxic. The permeability of this barrier is an especially important factor in maintaining the integrity of these critical functions. The leaky gut syndrome exists when some factor makes the spaces between...

Microbes in the Gut Determine the Risk for Cancer
submitted by: admin on 11/21/2013
An article published in the journal of the American Society for Microbiology called mBio showed that both inflammation and a certain microbiome contribute to the development of colon cancer in mice.

submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
An article in Circulation posted in September of 2012 showed that NSAIDs after a heart attack cause a 60% increase in mortality and 40% increase in risk for heart attack. They also increase the risk for heart attack in people without a history of heart attack.

Preview: Antibiotics and the GI Tract
submitted by: admin on 11/22/2024
This is an extensive review of what antibiotics do to the microflora of

common knowledge that antibiotics are massively overused in treating
colds, flus, ear infections, etc. Yeast syndromes, leaky gut syndrome,...
