70 % Immune system is in the
Intestines
Enterocyte Intestinal Absorption
FOOD
particle
Enterocyte Intestinal Absorption
Enterocyte Intestinal Absorption
Liver management of food particles
Causes
Malnutrition
Nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs)
Overeating
Drinking lots of fluids
with ones meals
Eating off-schedule
Eating too fast, or too
frequently
Germs of various
kinds
alcohol
steroids
too little oxygen
Causes
Beginning the eating
of solid foods too
early in life
Failure to breastfeed
Damage of intestinal barrier
Free radicals can increase

The size of food particles getting into the
bloodstream is larger or are less well-prepared for
use in the body and can cause damage in cells and
organs throughout the body
= increased intestinal permeability
or leaky gut syndrome
Gastrointestinal Symptoms

Large food particles can pass into the
bloodstream

Nutritional deficiencies
Symptoms

Increased absorption of toxins

The gut's immune function is impaired

Gut microorganisms can enter the body
Symptoms

Complications or results
painful joints and
muscles
arthritis-like syndrome
allergies
headaches
fevers
food intolerance
gastrointestinal
problems
Fatigue
not feeling well,
abdominal pain or
distention,
diarrhea,
skin rashes,
toxic feelings,
memory loss,
inattentiveness,
Complications or results
shortness of breath
poor exercise
tolerance
asthma
and numerous other
problems
Treatment
A day or two of fasting per week

Eliminate all those foods known to give you a
sensitivity.

Take one teaspoon slippery elm in water half
an hour before each meal.
Treatment
Flavonoids are found in catechins, milk thistle,
and dandelion root
Use two to four dishes of simple foods at a
meal, prepared in as natural and tasty a way as
possible
Take time to eat. Chew your food thoroughly to
encourage epidermal growth factor from the
saliva.
Avoid anxiety with the meals
Treatment
Use no baking soda or baking powder as
these upset the chemical balance.
Essential fatty acids such as those found in
walnuts and flaxseed can be most helpful to
protect your body from toxins produced in the
digestive tract
Whole grain rice. It should be taken at least
once daily for the first six weeks after the
discovery of a leaky gut

(Rephokaido Institute of Public Health. 16:111;1966)
(American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 54:346;1991)
Treatment
If abnormal bacteria are present (dysbiosis),
use herbal antibacterials as indicated. Most
bacteria are sensitive to gentian, and
particularly to grapefruit seed extract. If a
hidden infection is a probability, use goldenseal,
echinacea, artemisia, and garlic as anti-germ
agents.
Use a friendly bacteria supplement such as
Symbiotic, Similase, stc
Chlorella because of its glucosamine content
Treatment
Keep grease out of your food. It can cause
digestion to be impaired.
Do not overeat
Take a moderate walk after eating
Do not take food too hot or too cold. You can
cause thermal injury to the intestinal tract
Avoid this combination of food: milk and sugar
and eggs
Treatment
Avoid other irritants like vinegar, all hot peppers
or capsaicin preparations, irritating spices,
fermented products, alcohol
Grains used for porridge or mush [oatmeal or
boiled rice] should have several hours cooking:
Rice, three hours: corn grits, four or five hours,
or cook all night in a slow cooker.
Testing
1. Intestinal Permeability test: Uses Lactulose and
Mannitol to see urine expel after drinking.
2. INTESTINAL BARRIER FUNCTION PROFILE:
Uses individual patients immune system response to
proteins and peptides (macromolecules).
