Leaky Gut Syndrome

Leaky gut syndrome is often misdiagnosed and the culprit in a number of disease disorders. It is almost common medical knowledge that a healthy gut is they key factor to a healthy immune system. But when GI tracts become "permeable", auto-immune diseases arise. And where does immune activity occur? Two-thirds inside the gut.

What Is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Leaky gut syndrome is a condition that develops inside the small intestine when the mucous lining allows the entry of poisons, bacteria, micro-organisms and food particles into the bloodstream. Normally, when you eat, food passes through the stomach into the small intestine where the absorption of nutrients is possible through the semi-permeable mucous lining of the intestinal walls.
The importance of this lining cannot be overstated, as it's job is to shield the bloodstream from unwanted toxins, pathogens and undigested food and hence becomes a vital link in your immune system which screens out the bad guys.
The body is an amazing machine and renews itself on a regular basis, so when it comes to stomach lining, every 3 to 5 days, new cells form to keep it semi-permeable. However, once toxins enter the bloodstream through a leaky gut, their first target is the liver.

When the liver is overtaxed from all these invaders, it cannot keep them in check so these toxins either re-circulate or are left inside the liver. When they re-circulate to the intestines the lining is again assaulted leading to increased permeability (leaking, of sorts).
