Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome

_The Gut & Psychology/Physiology Syndrome (GAPS) describes the connection between how our physical and mental health is dependent on the health of our digestive tract and the micro-organisms contained within it. GAP Syndrome is the underlying cause to an outstanding number of diseases including: ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, arthritis, lupus, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, Diabetes, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, irritable bowel, celiac, gluten-sensitivity, constipation, hemorrhoids, colitis, acid reflux, and more. These are the people that fall into the gap of modern medical knowledge and have limited success with nearly every standard treatment out there. Based on the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride who works with thousands of GAPS patients around the globe the GAPS program has three main components; the GAPS nutritional plan, specific supplementation, and ways to detoxify the body. Most important is the GAPS Diet which heals the lining of the digestive tract and allows the body's elimination systems to function properly. Through this clients around the world have been able to return to an optimum level of health.

Probiotics and Gut Disorders

The precipitous rise in food intolerances and digestive disorders over the past few years is a clear and inevitable consequence of our overuse of antibiotics over the last century. We are destroying our indigenous gut bacteria and breeding super-pathogens. And the most common treatment suggested for this gut dysbiosis... is more antibiotics. While avoidance diets such as going gluten-free or dairy-free may offer some relief, avoiding is not healing. We need to address the cause. We need to stop abusing antibiotics for every cough, ear ache and sniffle. We need to understand the important role that beneficial bacteria play in our digestive tracts. And we need to bring traditional fermented foods back into our daily diets so that we can hope to reverse this trend.
