Leaky Gut is another scary name but, if you're the least bit health conscious…lets put it this way. If you're attacked by a so-called syndrome, disorder, disease etc., and you have the gumptions to fight back, retaliate with the best of what you have in you, with God's help you'll beat it. And my friend, you will!

     Now let's talk a little about this leaky gut. As I'm sure you know, you have to know your enemy's weaknesses in order to defeat him. By the way, I'm taking my information, at least some to most of it from an article by Keith Sherman.

     Leaky Gut is a condition that develops when the mucous lining of the small intestine becomes too porous, thus allowing entry of toxins, microorganisms and food particles into the bloodstream. It is this mucous lining that absorbs nutrition. This lining also shields the bloodstream from unwanted invaders like toxins and undigested foods.

     If these toxins are allowed to enter the bloodstream because of leaky gut, their first stop is the liver. As the liver begins to work overtime due to toxic overload, these toxins either re-circulate back to the intestines to further irritate the mucous lining or are just dumped into the liver.

     This mucous lining in the intestines is a vital part of the bodies' immune system.

That is what Leaky Gut Syndrome is.

     Now, here are some of the causes of Leaky Gut, and they are many. Digestion can get held up, impaired, seriously compromised from high stress, eating processed foods, not chewing your food enough, excessive fluids with meals, overeating, and bad food combining. It adds up mathematically like this: Intestinal bacteria x (times) undigested food particles = toxic chemicals & gases. Toxins damage the mucous lining and eventually erode it causing the syndrome.

     Other criteria that can cause leaky gut are alcohol, caffeine, parasites, chemical food additives, refined carbs, prescription drug hormones, and free radicals, to name a few. Perhaps the most likely to cause leaky gut are drugs, such as aspirin and Motrin, Antacids, Steroids, and Antibiotics.

     According to author and Holistic healer Elizabeth Lipski, drugs like aspirin and Motrin, can cause irritation and inflammation of the intestinal wall leading to colitis and ulcerative colitis (we're hitting home now). Prolonged use of these drugs can block the body's ability to repair itself.

     Just a side note; before I acquired Ulcerative Colitis, I took large portions of extra strength aspirin for many years. Could I have had this Leaky Gut? If I did, it's certainly gone now.

     Once the mucous lining begins to erode, the body can become confused; begin attacking its own cells, thinking they're the enemy. This can lead to autoimmune diseases. There are 80 recognized autoimmune diseases.

     These autoimmune diseases can also be Symptoms of this Leaky Gut Syndrome, since these diseases are where the whole process leads. To name a few, they can be: Lupus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, MS, Fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These disorders are actually allergic reactions.

     Oh how simple it really is. If we eat wrong, take drugs, have high stress…you know….all the bad things, we get allergies and colds which lead to disorders which lead to worse and worse things. BUT! If we start eating right, don't take drugs, don't have high stress, exercise, forgive…you know…all the good things, we should get better and feel good, even younger.

     We sell six or seven of Norman Walkers books, the guy who lived to almost 120 and rode his bike every day with his friends until the day he died peacefully in his sleep. He always talked about diet and taking care of your colon.

     Leaky Gut Syndrome! If you can get it, you can certainly get rid of it. It just takes a little work.

     How do you get rid of it and get normal again like you were when you were a kid? It's easy. Go on the Hallelujah Diet, the one that we teach and have been on for over 8 years.

     My wife Dorothy was talking to a fellow at a craft show last week about diet. He told her that a vegan diet couldn't possibly work, for there is no way of getting your protein or calcium. She told him that she is living proof that he has already been proven wrong since she has been on the Hallelujah Diet for almost 8 and one half years.

     The Gibson household, since we started on this way of eating over 8 years ago, has not had to go to the doctors or take as much as an aspirin. Before the H. Diet, we were constantly sick, taking drugs, and at the doctors. We are not unique. There are many that we know of, some have been on this Biblical diet for over 20 years. These people have been healed of almost every disease imaginable. For instance, Lydia, a personnel friend of ours, a medical doctor and missionary to Kenya, had colon cancer, went on the Hallelujah Diet and was healed without any drugs, chemo, radiation or surgery. George Malkmus, head of Hallelujah Acres, was dying of cancer at 42 years of age with 6 months to live. He went on the H. Diet and today, in his seventies, climbs mountains. I could go on for pages, but I don't have the time, and that would be an awful lot for you to read.

     If any of you would like to hear about this wonderful diet/lifestyle, I would be happy to come and share with your group. Dorothy and I also give free consultations at our home. We also carry the whole food products that can help you rebuild your body and health.

     By the way, the standard conventional medical treatment for "Leaky Gut Syndrome" doesn't exist. The medical association only treats the conditions or symptoms arising from the syndrome. Nutritional Physicians take a different approach.

     Over 2000 years ago Hippocrates said, "Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food". This is what nutritional Physicians, some are actually medical doctors, believe. I believe this. Why wouldn't I? By the grace of God, I was healed of what the medical association told me was impossible. They diagnosed me of the incurable disease.

     The nutrition contained in the Hallelujah Diet is both healing for the complete body and rebuilding for the complete body. Also add a Probiotic (good bacteria), digestive enzymes, a B complex supplement, a fiber supplement, and ground flaxseed. Honey House carries all these whole-food supplements.
