NSAIDs cause ulcers and proton pump inhibitors help prevent them. Why not combine them? Novel thought, but how wise is this? A clinical trial was done over a 30 day period that showed that GI bleeding was substantially reduced by this combination.
There are many problems with this kind of reasoning. First, most people aren't on NSAIDs for only 30 days...

This is an extensive review of what antibiotics do to the microflora of the GI tract. Many MDs overuse antibiotics "just to be sure" that a bacteria may be causing symptoms; this is very dangerous thinking. It is common knowledge that antibiotics are massively overused in treating colds, flus, ear infections, etc. Yeast syndromes, leaky gut syndrome,...

Antibiotics are massively overused in medical practice. Their side effects are far more profound than most MDs recognize. We review some of these complications, especially in modifying the microbial ecosystem in the gut.

Side effects of aspirin outweigh the benefits for preventing heart attacks and strokes. GI bleeds are the major serious complications, but hemorrhagic stroke and retinal bleeds are also associated problems. It also causes leaky gut syndrome.
There are natural alternatives for aspirin that include fish oil, nattokinase, lumbrokinase, digestive enzymes that...

One of the best kept secrets in medicine is that the gut is critical in developing and maintaining immunity. More than 60% of all immune cells are in the GI tract. How this works and is related to leaky gut is discussed.

The digestive tract is the key to health and vitality. Food allergies are very common and they are generally resolved by digestive enzymes; the mechanism is described. Without nutrients we don't have the raw materials to build the products the body needs. The immune system is intimately related to digestive problems and cause autoimmunity.

There are a lot of myths about food inducing arthritis...or are they? One of the best kept secrets in medicine is the leaky gut syndrome. In this situation the pores of the small intesting are too big and they let large molecules that normally cannot traverse this membrane come across and into the body. Because 60% + of all our immune cells are located in this...

A study from the Mayo Clinic published in the PloS ONE in June of 2012 showed that the gut microflora regulate the immune system and may be directly related to autoimmune disorders such as ulcerative colitis, and diabetes. In fact, the gut microbiome may be used as a biomarker for this predisposition and it may be possible to prevent autoimmune diseases...

Digestion is just one aspect of what the GI tract does. It also regulates absorption and blockage of toxins and immunity. It is the first gate of entry into the body and its importance is generally far underappreciated. Enzymes can be used to profoundly affect digestion and the products it creates that are related to health and disease.

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...
