Description:


Most illnesses start in the
gut, including many you
would not even think of!


And if your gut isn?t functioning right, it sets
the stage for illness and disease. The gut?the
gastrointestinal system?is designed to absorb
nutrients that support our bodies and
help us make energy, and get rid of things that
we don?t need or are toxic. But what happens
when the system breaks down? Leaky gut
syndrome (LGS) occurs when the lining of the
small intestine is damaged, allowing foreign
compounds to escape into your bloodstream,
which weakens your immune system and triggers
autoimmune reactions.


Traditional physicians don?t understand
what LGS is?much less how to diagnose and
treat it. In fact, it is estimated that more than
80 percent of people with chronic illnesses
have leaky gut, an overgrowth of bad bacteria,
or not enough good bacteria.


Here are some symptoms that may be
caused by LGS:

Digestive complaints, acid reflux,
IBS, Crohn?s disease
Joint and muscle pain, arthritis
Obesity and food allergies
Headaches, depression, anxiety,
ADHD
Itchy skin, rashes, eczema, acne,
rosacea, psoriasis

In Heal Your Leaky Gut, Dr. David
Brownstein will explain how the gut?like the
brain, heart, and liver?needs to be properly
nourished in order for it to function correctly. Simply stated, if your gut is not healthy, your immune system is going to suffer.

Improving your gut health and taking
fewer drugs will help you feel better and look
younger, improve your brain function, and
treat myriad medical conditions. This book
will give you all the information you need to
