Leaky gut is an
ailment which allows partially digested foods, toxins and bad bacteria to percolate though
the small intestine and into the blood stream, contributing to a large number of serious
ailments ranging from lupus, candida and arthritis to all sorts of food and
other allergies. Its causes and how to heal the leaky gut and
Candida are
explored on this page.
Leaky Gut
- the name
is enough to disgust you. But pay attention! Experts are beginning to believe that
this ailment is more common than has been thought, and that is can be the cause of many
diseases ranging from allergies to lupus, Candida, Arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue,
fibromyalgia and even Crohn's disease could be linked to leaky gut syndrome.

What is leaky gut ?
After passing through the stomach, whatever we eat passes into the small
intestine which is designed to allow nutrients to be absorbed from the food and into the
blood stream. The mucus lining of the intestine consists of helpful bacterial and good
yeasts which break down the food into substances which are beneficially used by the body.
When the composition of this lining is disturbed, the intestine walls can be damaged, and
become porous - allowing unwanted substances to penetrate the lining and into the
bloodstream.
The body becomes overwhelmed by this flood of foreign substances, and reacts by
producing antibodies and resultant inflammation to joints and circulatory systems,
allergic reactions and even mood swings.
What causes leaky gut ?
A large number of factors are thought to be the villains, including:
 |
Overuse of antibiotics, steroids, NSAIDS
(aspirin, ibuprofen, etc)
|
 |
Poor diet - high in refined foods and sugars
and nutritional deficiencies
|
 |
Incomplete digestion
|
 |
Heightened exposure to environmental toxins
|
 |
Stress
|
 |
Parasitic infestations
|
What are the symptoms?
These are wide ranging, and include:
 |
Candidiasis, when "bad" yeast
takes over the intestines and other parts of the body such as the vagina.
In some instances, candida can even invade the brain.
|
 |
Allergies - food,
airborne, environmental, skin
|
 |
A weakened immune system with all the
problems that can follow
|
 |
Chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome
|
 |
Auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, CFS and lupus.
|
What steps are necessary to repair leaky gut?
These include:
 |
Removing the candida yeast and its roots
which penetrate the mucous lining
|
 |
Flush any parasites out of the gut, both
microscopic and visible
|
 |
Cleanse the gut of toxins
|
 |
Keep away from the non-food foods: sugars,
refined carbohydrates, coffee, fatty foods.
|
 |
Enhance the flow of digestive secretions
such as HCl and pancreatic enzymes.
|
 |
Provide proper nutrition to the body
with Greens +
|
 |
Include the right supplements in this diet:
zinc, anti-oxidants, L-glutamine, insulin stimulators, garlic, barberry, pau de
arco, oragano, and healthy living flora in yogurt etc.
|
 |
Drink only purified
water and lots of it!

Conclusions
All of these steps require conscious life style changes which may seem difficult
to take. However, the implications of leaky gut syndrome on the body's general health are
serious, and orthodox medicine has no quick fixes - the antibiotics that might be
prescribed are only going to exacerbate the problem. Most Physicians deny it
very existence, because the pharmaceutical industry has no drugs to
counteract it.
ReNew Life of Tarpon Springs, Florida has developed
a number of great, natural herbal products after years of testing which are proven to remedy the damage to
the gut - they are IntestiNEW, FloraMore,
ParaGone and ParaZYME.
The development of these products has taken place over many years
in their chain of clinics with hands-on techniques and refinements.
d-Lenolate Olive leaf
extract is also highly effective in killing off candida and parasites, as
well as the bad bacteria in the body. Along with its use, it is essential to
take a range of the above complementary products to rebuild the lining.
