You're NUTS because of your GUTS!

FIFTY-PERCENT, 50%, OF OUR MID-BRAIN CHEMICALS ARE MADE IN THE INTESTINAL TRACT! And why not? Our "Second Brain" is right there, the Solar Plexus, which is a good out-of-town trial for brain chemical levels. It's a great feedback system.

Should you take drugs that tinker with your brain chemicals to alleviate the chemical imbalances that make you nuts? Or should you fix your guts? I say start at the likely culprit, the chemical imbalance caused by the guts. Protecting intestinal integrity becomes of the highest import.

Job one is to honestly consider the state of your digestion and nutrient absorption. Does your stomach have a good, healthy growl when hungry? If not, something is wrong. Are those stools floating? You can't be digesting fats and oils then. Consider digestive enzymes, and Hydrochloric Acid supplementation for those who are low on stomach acid. Start doing research on intestinal maladies and their cures at: http://www.google.com or some other search engine. Here are some talking points:

Leaky Gut Syndrome
Gluten Intolerance
Candida
Thyroid
Parasites

Leaky Gut Syndrome, or LGS, is the name for that host of symptoms which result from hyper-permeability of the intestines. Undigested food particles are allowed to leak into the bloodstream--as are yeast and parasites--and can cause a chronic sub-acute allergic reaction, not to mention the attendant toxicity.

Leaky Gut Syndrome can be caused by Gluten Intolerance, stripping the little fingers, villi, off of the intestinal wall. Avoid the B.R.O.W.S. foods: Barley, Rye, Oats, Wheat, Spelt.

Leaky Gut Syndrome can be caused by Candida or "yeast" rooting through the intestinal wall. Intestinal Candida is a given after taking Antibiotics , no matter how long ago. Get on a serious anti-Candida protocol, with Undecylenic Acid being the most potent over-the-counter yeast killer. There are sources on the net who have pure Undecylenic Acid. It is also contained in Para-Gone, and NATROL's Candida Cure.

Leaky Gut Syndrome can be caused by toxicity from Hypo-thyroidism (low thyroid levels) causing low motility, or movement, along the intestinal tract, letting toxins hammer at the gut wall. Petrochemicals, burnt or hydrogenated "fake" fats in our food lay there and uptake into the gut wall. Chemically, it looks like a real oil to the body. But it doesn't have the "buddy" links of a nutrient oil, so gut tissue becomes degraded, and the filter mesh gets bigger and bigger. Legumes, like Soybeans, and RAW Carrots {not cooked), block the uptake of Iodine to the Thyroid, and slow down the traction action of the bowels.

Leaky Gut Syndrome can be caused by Parasites. One easy protocol is the use of a commercial worming system, like Para-Gone. Silver Colloid can also whack back parasites in the intestines, used as part of a micro-electric detox program, like Zappers or Pulsers.

Support gut tissue integrity with real Essential Fatty Acids/EFA's, like raw Olive Oil, or Borage SEED Oil. Avoid "broken fats," which are like feeding a starving dog a rubber bone: no burnt, fried fats, and no hydrogenated fats from chemical treatment, as found in margarine. Eat real.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is reputed to be a powerful corrective for intestinal hyper-permeability. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a fat and water soluble anti-oxidant. It can be slightly irritating, so should be taken in the middle of a meal.

One-half hour before eating, drink a little clean water to hydrate the mucosal lining of the intestines so they will have natural protection. And be grateful that people like those on this forum are most willing to help with information and encouragement. STEADY ON! Tweet
