Dysbiosis (Leaky Gut) and “Bad” Bacterial Overgrowth are an American Epidemic.

Don’t like to read…then watch the video

I have been studying health and wellness since 1995. My studies have led me to research not only the latest health information available, but I also studied the diet our ancestors ate during the Paleolithic period thousands of years ago. Believe it or not, there are actually studies on the Paleolithic and hunter/gather societies and what they ate. Great advancements in science and technology have been achieved over that last 10,000 years, but some of these advancements seem to be causing more harm than good. Technology has made our nation the most advanced in the world. We have an abundance of hospitals, medications, doctors and no shortage of food…if you really want to call what many of us eat “food”.
When I look at the research from studies documenting the health and lifestyles of humans 10,000 years ago versus today, I discovered something scary. The only thing that has happened is we have gotten sicker, and managed to create some “dis-eases” that did not exist years ago. How could we be getting sicker and creating dis-ease? What has changed? I was able to quickly eliminate a cause that we have been brainwashed with, the reasoning that says, “ it’s genetic or it runs in my family.” Bad genes are not to blame, and this is why…
In all the research related papers and books that I have read, I found…
1. That our genes have changed less than 0.02% (two hundredth of a percent) in 40,000 YEARS!
2. The Paleolithic hunter/gathers did not have many of our modern illnesses… they had no hospitals or medications available…and their genes were virtually identical to ours today.
Since we have the same genes now that we had 40,000 years ago, what is different? I will tell you…their diets, movement, level of activity, exposure to toxins and emotional stressors…so…basically their lifestyles were the complete opposite of ours.
I will explain the differences in all of these factors and how it affects our health in the near future, but for this post we are going to focus on diet and how it affects the health of our guts (intestinal digestive tract) and ultimately the health of our bodies.
In a nut shell this is how our fiber deficient, nutrient deficient diets are destroying the health of our guts and our bodies.
One thing you must know is that our bodies work just like the world around us. Our environment is damaged and destroyed by excess pollution. Just as our body/internal environment is damaged and destroyed by excess pollution. The pollution in our bodies comes mainly from processed foods which are deficient in nutrients and fiber.
Our guts are the first line of defense and up to 70% of the bodies lymph tissue surrounds the gut. Why would you need 70% of your immune system surrounding your gut? The gut is one of the first areas where things have the opportunity to enter your body. If something toxic gets through your gut and into the body you need to be able to eliminate it or fight it.
Here is how the gut works… you need “good” bacteria to ferment and break down your food so it can be absorbed. “Bad” bacteria also lives in your gut and acts like a parasite living off the food you eat. So if you don’t have the “good” bacteria in your gut then toxins easily pass through the gut into the body. Now your lymph system and immune system must take care of it.
Toxins pass through the gut = Immune Response = Pain or Sickness.
So there’s the problem. If your gut is unprotected and you don’t have healthy bacteria you are going to be sick.

What should you do? Increase your fresh fruit and vegetable consumption, unless you’re eating 70%-80% raw fruits and vegetable every day you will have a gut imbalance. I know that sounds like a lot, but there are several, time effective ways to bring these foods into your diet (I cover this in the report.) The “good” bacteria come from fruits and veggies. The “bad” bacteria come from breads, cereals, processed foods, soda and the other man made foods we consume. The foods you eat either make you more pure or more toxic. It’s just that simple.
The traditional western diet will cause the “bad” bacteria to flourish. The “bad” bacteria will actually eat the food you eat, so they can keep multiplying and take over your gut. This is gross but, what your body is left with is the waste or “bad bacteria poop” they excrete back into your gut. Left unchecked this cycle will “snowball” and continue to make your body more and more toxic and sick. This condition is correctable, but if undiagnosed and untreated it can reach a point of no return!
How healthy do you think you will be…
If you are living on a diet of “bad bacteria poop?”
There are four steps to restoring the healthy bacteria in your gut:
1. Remove the bad (such as harmful chemicals from our environment, allergens and Pathogens)
2. Replace the “bad” with the “good”
3. Repair (a special diet may be need to restore intestinal health which includes villi and microvilli health)
4. Replenish (add nutrients like probiotics, fermentable fruits and vegetables to support the growth and repair of healthy bacteria flora)

There is a way to test for leaky gut. If you would like to find out if you have “leaky gut” I can help. I am also making available to you the steps you will need follow to Remove, Replace, Repair and Replenish your gut. I have made these steps available to you in a free report.
If you would like the report or more information on how to restore health to several of the most common GI issues such as: Leaky Gut, Inflammatory bowel, Candidacies, Parasites or Dysbiosis please feel free to email me at draaron@unitedwellness.net. I have many protocols available to help you restore purity and sufficiency to your body.

Eat Well, Think Well, Move Well

P.S. I realize that we are all busy and you may not wish to read the report… so, I will soon have my reports and other important health information available online in video format.
