Foods That Cause Arthritis
submitted by: admin on 12/22/2024
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.

Because 60% + of all our immune cells are located in this...
Gut Microflora Regulate Immunity
submitted by: admin on 03/31/2015
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...
Healing With Enzymes Ellen Cutler, DC, MD

submitted by: admin on 12/22/2024
The intestinal lining has the paradoxical role of selectively letting into the body those chemicals, which it needs, and keeping out what is toxic.
