There is a Brain in the Gut PDF Print E-mail

Did you know how much 'gut' health affect 'brain' health? Do you find it hard to think clearly? Does your child struggle to focus, concentrate and remember?

A silent epidemic is spreading nowadays - and not only amongst the elderly. A too high incidence of lethargy, chronic fatigue, brain fog, ADD/ADHD (attention span problems and hyperactivity), confusion, short term memory problems, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Brain allergies may be a result of sensitivity to substances in the normal western diet: sugar, cows' milk, gluten or preservatives (MSG, tartrazine).

The use of aluminium cooking pots, aerosol sprays containing fluorocarbons, unfiltered drinking water, canned cool drinks, MSG in cool drinks, sweets and the ordinary table salt may lead to toxicity. Even living near industrial pollution plants and cycling and jogging in traffic (fumes inhaled) may contribute to lead build-up. These deposits are found in the brain stems of Alzheimer's and dementia patients.

Is yeast to blame for chronic tiredness and brain fog?

There is strong evidence that candida yeast overgrowth in the intestines contributes to neurosystem, immunity and left and right brain integration problems (concentration loss, hyperactivity, moodiness, fatigue and overindulgence). "There is a brain in the gut" - one research worker Gerswin, was famous for saying.

Do your bi-annual detox the right way, by eliminating foods that make the yeast grow - sugar, refined carbohydrates and yeast products. Take Micro-sweep and AB-lactics to kill, sweep out the bad microbes and replenish good guys. Gut health leads to brain health.

Hydrogenated oils (margarine, cooking oil and chips) increase permeability of cell membranes, providing easier entry of heavy metals into our blood system. Excessive stress forces the adrenal glands to pump out more of the stress hormone cortisol, and that accelerates ageing, memory dysfunction and compromised immunity. A healthy neurosystem complements a healthy immune system!

A mostly raw diet and a good supplement plan (Neurest, Olive - Immune and Omega-wise) help to keep cell membranes fluid and fatty substances soluble.

Now, according to their diagnostic and statistical manual, children who are merely behaving as kids, are being labeled and categorized as being ADD/ADHD. This behavior has risen from 2 % in the past decade to as high as 25 % in some populations. The well-known scheduled medication for ADHD has soared from 3 000 children in 1990 (in Britain), to 345 000 children in 2003.

Eat right to beat cancer

Published in "The Tygerburger" June 13, 2007.

Certain cancers respond favourably to chemotherapy and radiation. But most cancer drugs have limited usefulness, for the drug can effectively destroy only the part of the cancer cells undergoing division and normal cells are destroyed as well. “Destroying” a tumour, whilst facilitating whole body support (as a first concern) means the natural health practitioner takes into account the overall well-being of the patient. Omega-3 oil fish oils, vitamin C and a lot more nutrients are needed as natural protection against cancer - this includes bitter pip-substances of certain fruit.
