The body’s soil or biochemical and energetic environment

The state of this soil determines the energetic reserve of the body or how it reacts to challenges

A healthy, energetic body is able to reject threats to its survival

As the terrain becomes more toxic, it loses energy and moves deeper into disease

Symptoms are the language of the body They communicate that there is a problem They guide us to where the problem is – where y g pthe imbalances are

Use the symptoms to know if you are moving the body towards health

Don’t shut up the body THINK DIFFERENTLY!

Our Liver was designed to take care of the toxins produced by our body

Today, the liver also has to deal with environmental toxins

There are over 100,000 registered chemical toxins as of 2012

These toxins are damaging the function and structure of the body


The liver and kidneys, our major organs of elimination, are overloaded and/or damaged by toxic material

Detoxification is like throwing garbage bags against the door and hoping that it will open

Drainage is opening the door first and then taking out the garbage

Drainage helps to clean up the liver, kidneys, and other organs of elimination

Resident Strains

Naturally found in the human intestine

They re‐establish and adhere to the

Transient Strains Found outside the human

intestinal system, but are extremely beneficial in promoting its health.

Found living symbioticallyadhere to the intestinal tract to repair the body’s intestinal flora.

These are commonly referred to as “human strain” bacteria.

Found living symbiotically on many plants as long as they are not destroyed by pesticides. They do not re‐establish in the intestinal tract, so it is necessary to consume them by eating organic vegetables or supplementation.

Bifidobacterium bifidum Disturbances in gut flora + peristalsis disorders + liver

problems are usually related to the restriction or disappearance of B. bifidum.

Protects the body from devastating effects of rotavirus diarrhea and it modifies the gut flora and is supportive therapy for intestinal infections or disturbances.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports its immune strengthening capabilities especially in relation to colon health, plus its suppressive effect on tumors.

Reduces the inflammatory response of the colon and stimulates the body’s immunity.

Bifidobacterium breveDecrease intestinal permeability, improves intestinal microflora and has a positive effect on the intestinal immune system.

Bifidobacterium infantis

5/13/2014

A main inhabitant in the intestines of children, infantis also has benefits into adulthood.It has been shown to be helpful in reducing the symptoms of IBS.

Bifidobacterium longum Helps in formation of lactic acid along with small

amounts of formic acid. These acids lower the pH of the intestines, thereby making an undesirable terrain for harmful bacteria.

Is also a substantial producer of B vitamins.

Lactobacillus acidophilus This is the predominant friendly bacteria in the upper

intestinal tract. It helps reduce levels of harmful bacteria and yeasts in the small intestine and also produces lactase.

Acidophilus is involved in the production of niacin, folic acid and pyridoxine during the digestive process.

This is most prevalent strain in the body.

Lactobacillus bulgaricus Bulgaricus is a lactic acid producing bacteria found in yogurt that is helpful for lactose intolerance, diarrhea and immunity.

Helps to promote the growth of other beneficial bacteria and therefore improve immune functionimmune function.

It may also help in the metabolizing of lipids and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

It has antibiotic properties and can help prevent infections and prevent the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms in the gut.


Lactobacillus paracasei Expands the natural killer cell population, therefore may enhance immune defence against viral infections or tumours.

Also has an anti‐inflammatory effect.Lactobacillus casei Inhibits the growth of E.coli, as well as being effective against urinary tract infections.

5/13/2014

Lactobacillus rhamnosus Is useful for the inhibition of vaginal and urinary tract

infections. It helps the body resist pathogenic bacteria and viruses, and prevents rotoviral or Clostridium difficile induced diarrhea.

Lactobacillus salivarius This is useful in helping impair the growth and activity

of harmful pathogenic bacteria, including H.pylori and salmonella.

Also helps break down undigested protein and disengage the toxins produced by protein putrefaction.

Lactobacillus fermentum Capable of releasing glutathione and has been shown to

prevent colonic inflammation such as colitis, in animal studies.

Lactobacillus plantarum An excellent alternative to antibiotics and makes use of its

potential to block receptor sites for gram‐negative bacteria. Capable of metabolizing semi‐resistant plant fibres, such as

onion, garlic, artichoke, wheat, oat, rye, bananas and yeast. Is also an important tool in antimicrobial defense and its

effect both against extra and intercellular pathogens.

Saccharomyces boulardii Classed as a probiotic, it is a non‐colonizing yeast species,

non‐pathogenic and not related to the yeast group of which Candida Albicans belongs.

It helps treat serious bacterial infections such as C. difficile, suppressing bacterial infections by: inhibiting adhesion and/or overgrowth of bad bacteria, producing a serine protease that cleaves C. difficile toxin A, and by stimulatingprotease that cleaves C. difficile toxin A, and by stimulating antibody production against this toxin.

It increases the eradication of H. Pylori which causes heartburn, nausea, bloating, belching and in serious cases, peptic ulcers. It is an effective addition to H. Pylori treatment.

It also helps to prevent diarrhea from antibiotics used in standard H.Pylori treatment, which is a common side effect.

It also helps in reducing inflammation in the bowel.

EFAs are a component of every cell wall in the body, contributing to the permeability and selectivity of the cell; allowing nutrients in and waste product out.

ff h d l di l l EFAs affect our hormones and prostaglandin levels, so encourage an anti‐inflammatory pathway.

EFAs help to lubricate the skin, including the “internal skin” in the colon. They help encourage proper elimination from the bowel.

DHA is a major structural component of neuronal membranes and EPA has important physiological functions that affect neuronal activity so can be helpful for mental stress y pand health.

Flax oil has the highest concentration of Omega 3s, but fish oils directly supply both EPA and DHA, avoiding the need for a compromised body to convert ALA to these forms

CRYO‐3: Fractional super‐cooling. The fish oil is taken to very low temperatures enabling accurate fractional crystallization of the triglycerides carrying high levels of saturated fatty acids. Once removed then the remaining liquid fraction has a higher EPA/DHA.

NEO‐3: Enzymatic cleavage. Gently concentrating the levels N O 3: n ymatic cleavage. Gently concentrating the levelsof EPA/DHA by using natural lipase enzymes (no alcohol or chemicals) selectively removes shorter chain fatty acids from the oil, leaving the EPA/DHA untouched. This process mimics the first stages of our digestive process and produces a mixture with higher EPA/DHA.

WisdOM‐3: Increases the absorption rate of EPA/DHA by emulsifying the oil for more bioavailability. This process is very helpful for those without a gall bladder.

Why treat with alkalic mixtures? Lynne’s Notes from Sanum Lecture

Presented by BIOMED® International

Our intestines do the vast majority of the digestive process. Use of HCl without a buffering agent (bile) weakens the activity of the intestines, as the digestive juices in the stomach require an alkaline environment to fully work. In the stomach, acidic reactions prevail; in the duodenum it must be alkaline. The stomach attempts to give the body sodium to form the bases by increasing the breakdown of salt into sodium and chlorine.

NaCl + H2O + CO2 = HCl + NaHCO3 (sodium hydrogen carbonate)

The base NaHCO3 is more important for digestion and is given preferential treatment. As the HCl leaves the border cells in the stomach and enters the lumen, the base is taken by the blood to the intestines to aid in digestion. This leads to increased HCl in the stomach. If the alkaline reaction in the duodenum is insufficient, digestion of fats, carbs and proteins remains incomplete. Fermentation, autointoxication and constipation follow.

EVERY TIME HCl IS PRODUCED IN THE STOMACH, SO TOO IS SODIUM HYDROGEN CARBONATE!

Alkalophilic organs include the liver, GB, pancreas, & Brunner’s glands in the small intestine. All contain large amounts of sodium hydrogen carbonate in order to produce their secretions properly.

Basic Powder/Tabs does not act as an ant-acid in the stomach when taken away from food. It acts in the duodenum and intestines to provide the bases to neutralize phosphoric, sulphuric and uric acid needed for protein digestion. Basic Powder/Tabs also does not provide minerals to the tissues. It acts only on the surfaces of the intestines.

-High tissue acidosis main reason for chronic disease-Improves digestion by stimulation of peristalsis without being purgative-Effective for heartburn, gastritis, ulcers, liver/GBl disorders, flatulence, belching, constipation, all rheumatic diseases including gout, renal & bladder disorders, eczema & ANS disturbance -A shift in acid/base balance towards hyperacidity also causes a shift of the balance of the ANSknown as sympathicotonia-Sympathicotonia causes blood supply constriction & creates numerous clinical pictures.

Basic Powder/Tabs

Works best in hot/warm water; in cold water it tends to be absorbed in the stomach.

The alkaline reaction is needed in the duodenum. If acids here are not neutralized, they areexpelled into the connective tissue so the blood can maintain a normal ph level.

Do not take less than ½ hour before meals and at least 2 hours after.


THE FULL GAPS DIET

For many GAPS patients, the diet should be followed for two years at least. The book Gut & Psychology Syndrome will provide recipes and more explanation about the diet.

The best foods are eggs (if tolerated), fresh meats (not preserved), fish, shellfish, fresh vegetables and fruit, nuts and seeds, garlic and olive oil. Apart from eating vegetables cooked, it is important to have some raw vegetables with meals, as they contain vital enzymes to assist digestion of the meats. Fruit should be eaten on their own, not with meals, as they have a very different digestion pattern and can make the work harder for the stomach. Fruit should be given as a snack between meals.

It is very important to have plenty of natural fats in every meal from meats, butter, ghee, coconut (if tolerated) and cold pressed olive oil. Animal fats on meats are particularly valuable. Fermented foods (sauerkraut, yogurt, and kefir) are also a very important part of this diet in addition to homemade meat or fish stock. It is recommended to take a cup of warm meat or fish stock with every meal as a drink as well as soups and stews made with the meat or fish stock. The stock, kefir and fermented vegetables will over time restore the stomach acid production, which will improve digestion.

It is best to avoid processed foods (any packet or tinned foods). They are stripped from most nutrients that were present in the fresh ingredients used for making these foods. They are a hard work for the digestive system and they damage the healthy gut flora balance. On top of that they usually contain a lot of artificial chemicals, detrimental to health, like preservatives, colorants, etc. Try to buy foods in the form that nature made them, as fresh as possible.

Eating smaller, more frequent meals spread throughout the day instead of larger meals can lead to less discomfort for some people. What is really important is to identify the foods that are causing the symptoms.

For individuals with diarrhea, gas, or bloating, or if a high-fiber diet fails, I suggest a two-week trial FODMAPS elimination diet. (FODMAPS stands for fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols.)

What is the FODMAPS approach?

You'll work with your physician and registered dietitian to eliminate all foods that contain the five forms of carbohydrates (lactose, fructose, fructans, sugar alcohols, and galactans) for a trial period of 1-2 weeks. If FODMAPS carbs are causing the symptoms, relief can occur in just a few days.

You follow the elimination period with a challenge of reintroducing one of the FODMAP carbs and observe symptoms. Additional FODMAP carbs are slowly added back, one at a time. At the end of the reintroduction phase, a final diet emerges with only those FODMAP carbs that are fairly well tolerated.

The goal is to find the most liberal and varied diet possible that still keeps symptoms under control. Most people find they can still include their favorite foods if they exercise care. For example, a person who discovers that fructans (found in wheat) cause a lot of distress might find they can’t tolerate wheat at every meal, but may be able to tolerate one portion of wheat without a problem.

Is the FODMAPS approach accepted in the medical community?

Health care providers have known for years about the GI impact of select FODMAPS, such as lactose and sugar alcohols. Fructose and galactan intolerance are a bit newer. Although it is very well accepted and widely practiced in Australia, it is a new idea for most health care providers in the U.S.

The FODMAPS approach is unique because it views all of these carbohydrates as one big system, looking at the forest instead of the trees. Some providers are concerned that the FODMAPS is too complicated, but many patients are very motivated and willing to do anything to feel better.

Is a gluten-free diet a good option for IBS sufferers?

Gluten-free diets are very popular right now for a wide variety of conditions. When you eliminate gluten, you also eliminate wheat products that contain fructans, one of the FODMAPS carbohydrates.

Why are some carbohydrates more problematic than others?

Eating certain carbohydrates can cause gas, bloating, and watery diarrhea for some IBS sufferers. Lactose, or milk sugar, is one example many people are familiar with. If your bowel has difficulty tolerating lactose, when you eat it -- especially in high doses or when you eat it alone -- bacteria in the large intestine ferment it, and it can result in gas and painful bloating as well as excess flatulence.
