Hi guys! I have a good title today. It's "What The
Heck Is Leaky Gut?" If you go to your gastroenterologist and you say to him I
might have a leaky gut, he's gonna look at you with the funniest look you ever
saw. Because he doesn't know what this is and he certainly doesn't believe it. Now,
I want to tell you what it is because it is something real and it's everywhere.
Probably most of us to some degree have leaky gut. Now, if we look at - this is a
small intestine. So your mouth is up here, food goes through your esophagus, it goes
into your stomach and then it goes into your small intestine. The small intestine
is about 22 to 25 feet long. So it's a big long tube it's all coiled up in your
belly. It's job is to digest the food that comes from your stomach. Which means
break it down into small pieces and then absorb it so that it can actually get
into your body. Now, the lining of the small intestine is
literally only one cell thick. Now cells aren't very big. You know? They're
measured in in microns. They're really small and they're only
one cell thick. On the other side of the of the cells of the lining of the
small intestine, there are blood vessels, so that when the food comes through
digested, it goes into the blood vessels. Then we get them into our body and
that food can go to ourselves. Now, if you say - let's say you had a steak for lunch.
That steak is muscle. Muscle is made up of smaller units called amino
acids. Now, there's twenty-two amino acids and if you
put them together in a very long chain in a very specific order you get muscle.
Now, an average muscle fiber, one single fiber, has about 6100 amino acids.
If that fiber, that big long fiber, which is made up of all these amino acids, goes
to this cell, it won't take it. It's too big. It has to go through the cell to
get into the body. So, digestion occurs - so enzymes starting in the stomach and then
in the small intestine break down that long fiber into individual, just gonna
call X Y Z 6100 of them amino acids, and those amino acids if they go to this
cell, the cell will say "yep come on in", pass it through and then it's in the
bloodstream. When those amino acids then travel to our muscle, our muscle
cells have to reassemble that back into 6100 amino acids in a chain of muscle.
Pretty good trick right? Like a puzzle, like 61/22 amino acids
now rearranged into a chain that's 6100 long. That's one muscle fiber.
Now, in our body, there's over 50,000 different proteins. So this is
going on all the time by every cell in the body constantly.
If these cells get poisoned - let's say you have some GMO corn tortillas for
breakfast, okay? You go to your regular store virtually all the corn,
unless it says organic, is genetically modified corn. It's been soaked in
roundup glyphosate. When you eat the corn, you get the glyphosate. What
does glyphosate do? The glue that holds these cells together, it disintegrates it.
It breaks it open. Now there's a hole here. Now this big chain can go
through. That's leaky gut. Now, there also may be bacteria, parasites,
fungi, and they can go through too. They can get in your bloodstream. Now, on
the way through, the major part of the immune system is between the inner wall
and the blood vessel. This is called Gut Associated Lymphoid Tissue or
Peyer's Patches. You've heard that three-quarters the
immune system is around the small intestine? That's where it is. It's right
there. Along this twenty two feet. Because this is the most vulnerable area that the body
has of stuff getting in. When it sees a foreign protein like a steak fiber or
like a bacteria, it reacts against it and it starts to attack it. That attack
sometimes can - those proteins can sometimes get into our bloodstream and
they can start to attack us! Because our stuff looks kind of like that! Our muscle
fibers aren't very different than steak muscle or chicken muscle.
If you have muscle pain - if you get joint pain after you have a meal,
what's happening is that these things are getting across and your
immune system is targeting them. Then it's seeing similar things in your body
which it's also targeting. The whole thing that happens with autoimmune
disease is this. But the leaky gut part of it is it's these things get
penetrated. There are actual lab tests where you can prove, "yes, there're things
coming through that shouldn't get through." You can give someone
a sugar that, isn't digestible, it shouldn't come through and you can give
someone a meal of this sugar, then you can measure the
level in the blood of that sugar and it proves that the sugar got in the blood.
You can prove this! We don't usually bother with it because generally it's
easy to know. Now, glyphosate can do that but, so can bugs. You know like organisms.
Our foods not sterile. When we eat these things come into our body.
You know? Bacteria comes into our body and fungi comes into our body.
Virtually all drugs cause Leaky Gut. Antibiotics cause Leaky Gut, steroids
cause leaky gut, blood pressure medicines cause Leaky Gut. So we have an epidemic
in this country right now of Leaky Gut! Because our guts are being assaulted
with chemicals that break down this glue that holds it together. That glue is called
zonulin. When people have leaky gut you can see the zonulin levels
start to go way up in the stool. Because it's not stable anymore.
So, what can you do? Avoid all drugs. Unless it's an emergency of
disastrous effects, avoid all drugs. If you're already on a medication, then get
with your natural doctor to see if you can get off the medication in a safe
manner, so that you can reduce your chances of this. Eat organic foods.
They really make a difference. They're expensive, it's a pain, I understand but,
you don't want pesticides coming into your gut that are gonna tear open your
gut and give you a leaky gut. So eat organic; its really important.
Make your meats as organic as you can get. Your eggs, everything. Try to
eat as organic as you can. I know that if all of us decide to eat organic, the
powers that be are going to start producing organic food in bulk,
the cost will come down and it'll be better for everyone. If nobody buys that
food, they're gonna stop making glyphosate. Because it'll be a bad
business. Those guys are in it for business. Just like Amazon bought
Whole Foods. Why'd they do it? Because it's good business. I'm sure they don't
have any any sort of moral or whatever about it. It's good business. So we want
to create good businesses, with things that are healthy for people and why not?
It's a good thing, okay? So, avoid pesticides and chemicals. Alcohol
produces Leaky Gut. I know how good it is to have a glass of red wine at night
and it really tastes good but, it's a poison. Why do you feel tipsy? Because
your brains being poisoned. So, if you want to really be healthy, I would do it
very minimally or not at all because it actually isn't good for you. The burn
that you feel, it's making holes in your gut, in your stomach, it's causing
damage, it's causing injury. Now I know that pleasure is pleasure but, just saying. Okay?
So, leaky gut is a breakdown of the inner lining of your gut. So, there is a very
nice product, which I don't sell and I'm not a part of, called Restore which you
can buy in the health food stores. It's the only thing that I know of, that
if you take it, seals up your leaky gut. So, you take a teaspoon before each
meal and it will seal your leaky gut. If you go to the website on it you can
see some very elegant experiments that we're done to show that if you put
glyphosate on this membrane, it opens. If you put Restore on it, it closes. So it's
a way for us to try to stay ahead of this thing. Because it is very hard to
eat everything organic and never go out and do all this. I understand, I have a
life too. But the better we do at it, the better we can get.
So, Leaky Gut is handleable. The best thing is organic food and the right
kind of supplements. Then if you're really having trouble with your gut or
some kind of autoimmune condition, get with a natural practitioner who works
with this kind of thing. There are a whole bunch of supplements that we give
people like this that can help, so that you get a better blend of bacteria in
your gut. Where if you have bad bacteria in your gut you can take
safe things that will get rid of them or yeasts where you can reduce their
numbers and get more of a healthy environment there. There're things
like colostrum, which can also help regenerate this membrane. You
can actually fix this so that you feel better. So, if you've got bloating, gas,
heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, IBS, colitis, you have leaky gut.
A natural practitioner who understands this can really help you. So what should
you do? Everything I just told you. Okay? Have a good day!
