Hi! Great video! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in 2019. I completely changed my diet and also did a zoomer on leaky gut and everything I was allergic too. It’s been a long process but last year I was told by my rheumatologist that my inflammation markers were all normal and I did not have RA any longer. I’m 56 and never have beer healthier. I will never eat gluten again…or any processed foods. I also buy my meat from a special farm that animals are treated humanely and not feed antibiotics or corn.

Re the fasting, was it a water fast only or more than just water? How many times a week did you take the ivermectin? And what kind of foods did you eat during the intermittent fasting?

[@amandabutler5021]

Wondering also with the person above on your protocol….

[@cosmokramer3107]

@@amandabutler5021 In my case, I found that a good brand of aloe vera in liquid form + MCT oil (Flora) in coffee + L-glutamine 20 g/day (fermented formulation) + L-glycine 10 g/day + collagen peptides + psyllium husk for fiber + a bunch of keystone probiotics once per day (the ones Dr William Davis suggests, L Reuteri, L Gasseri, L Coagulants strains, I also added Saccaromyces Boulardii) and ingest them either as pills or after making yogurts with these using the Ultimate yogurt maker, but also using the probiotics tablet that you let melt in your mouth as L Reuteri is useful in the mouth as it ends up travelling to the stomach and small intestine ( I was working with the assumption of SIBO/SIFO ). I also switched to a keto diet 3 months ago (beef, lamb, duck, bacon, eggs, butter, extra virgin olive oil first cold press, and only bitter veggies like brussel sprouts or radicchio, also asparagus, but nothing containing high amounts of oxalates) for weight loss using a restricted eating window (from 8 am to 2 pm) but I can never stick to it as I am not a morning person and never hungry until 1 pm. And yet, I still lost 15.4 lbs (7 kg) doing only a little mild exercise. And intermittent fasting, as in about 18 to 24 hrs fasting everyday depending how early or late I would eat my one meal a day (like I said, I should start eating by 8 am but I am never hungry this early, coffee also suppresses appetite, so there's that). I'll briefly explain the reasoning. Over the past year, I was drinking too much beer and wine after the work day was over. So after years of drinking alcohol everyday (normal amounts, not alcoholic), then increasing that amount in the past year, then leaky gut started. Alcohol devastates the gut flora. So putting 2 and 2 together, reading Dr William Davis's book, researching and all that, I figured that the first step consists in rebuilding my gut flora. So I quit drinking alcohol overnight to help the liver and gut repair themselves. Started the keto diet with the supplements mentioned above. Result: the bleeding almost subsided, so not 100% healed like this other person who claims to have done it in 3 weeks. Not sure how anyone can do it in 3 weeks especially if the tight junctions in the intestinal walls are loose, the mucosal barrier gone or almost gone, and the good probiotic bacteria depleted. Regarding the latter, one thing to avoid at all cost are anti-biotics since they kill the good bacteria, but also berberine because of its anti-bacterial properties. Some people take it to help with diabetes, but would be better to switch to a keto or carnivore diet, especially since vegetable cellulose cannot be digested. Hope this helps.

"Stress" is the most irritating thing I constantly see/hear listed. First, it's listed in every list for every problem in every location possible. Then people act like stress is something you can just eliminate from your life like carbs. You can exercise, meditate, pray, whatever and that's often not enough to eliminate or even reduce stress. Telling people to get rid of stress is like telling an alcoholic, "well just don't drink". I workout and go on walks, hiking in the woods, camping, all kinds of stuff and it makes no difference in how internally strung I am or helping my brain to shut off. The effect fades within a very short period of stopping. The #1 thing I think I've never seen mentioned regarding poor sleep is a big issue with many people that go undiagnosed until far too late: sleep apnea. Everyone mentions the same things you did and no one ever suggests, when those don't work, to get a sleep study done. That aside, as far as a bad gut...only 1 thing worked for me when all of this failed as I did trial and error over years: The carnivore diet. 100% perfect bowels and no acid reflux. It was just a mental asswhip to eat that way. I accepted an ok gut to eat vegetables and carbs (potatoes, beans) again. Fiber is still my enemy.

[@davidg241]

I’m doing carnivore now. Been two days, my stomach pains are still present however they have lessened. I don’t feel bloated or gassy, I haven’t taken a solid dump in the last two days either , just minor but I feel like trying to eat vegetables and other stuff is gonna bloat the heck out of me and make things worse. I have back pains all over as well but it’s much more tolerable in the last two days. Working on sleeping better without a gummy. Currently trying to find something I can add to the carnivore diet that will help me use the bathroom better. Fiber foods seem to make me feel worse so I need to find something else to help. But so far I’m eating two meals (breakfast, later lunch). I try to stop around 6 pm so I can let my gut settle and do its things. So far it’s a slow process but the pain in my stomach and back and also the brain fog I been having seems to be slowly going. Crossing fingers 🙏🏼 and I pray a lot lol cheers

[@davidg241]

Also, this burning sensation in my upper throat when I burp has been a bit worse since carnivore. Not sure how to get rid of it

[@Swearengen1980]

@@davidg241 It's a very slow process. Why do people think completely changing your diet is going to happen in a few days? Many people report terrible diarrhea for the first week. It can take a month to rebalance your body. You don't need to add anything, just suck it up and let nature run its course. If it's not better in 2 weeks, your ratio may be wrong. I didn't do good on a super high fat diet like some of the channels suggest and I put in more lean meat. The same ratios don't work for everyone despite what these channels try to sell you. I'm also the same in that fiber wrecks me. On carnivore or not, I avoid unnecessary fiber.

You are sooo correct. No diet exercise any physical action can cure an issue if the stressor is still in your life. How you think and what you perceive about things is so much more important than diet and exercise as it can allow the body to truly go into a parasympathetic state to then relax and heal. You cannot heal when you are in fight or flight mode. Period. Full stop. Doesn’t matter the cleanest diet or exercise regime.

The first thing you should do is cut way back on wheat and stop buying US wheat as it is all dried with glyphosate. They started this practice right about the mid 90's when all the digestive issues started. As usual America does not care about the cause so they just labelled the symptoms as diseases. I buy my flour from Italy and make all my own wheat based items from scratch. Pasta, flour tortillas, bread, biscuits, and so on. The problem with American medicine is that when you go to the DR they never, ever, ever, ever, ever ask you what you diet consists of. Instead they whip out their prescription pad and write, write, write. They also get kickbacks form the pharmaceutical industry so it is a great incentive for them to write prescriptions. The digestive wall need single particles to easily pass through it. Wheat does not break down into single particles so it causes digestive issues. Add to that the gluten which binds particles together and have gluten binding multiples together that need to pass through the digestive wall. This causes inflammation and all kinds of issues. Meats and veggies for health. Leave the grains alone and you will feel much, much better.

Leaky gut is actually true. Most people don’t know about it. Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal permeability, is a condition where the lining of the digestive tract becomes more porous, potentially allowing undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream. This can lead to a range of health issues. It's important to maintain a healthy gut with a balanced diet, probiotics, and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about this condition.

Most medical issues are caused by obliterated foods. I would say easily 80% of disease is being caused by rotten toxic food. People would be stunned to learn how badly spoiled the food you eat is. If not for the preservatives the store would look and smell like week old fish. That VARNISH on that food is transferred to your gut. It is a miracle we are not sicker.

I tried L-glutamine and everything else in this video before going to such extreme measures, but none worked. Of course I also hated eating only meat, eggs, and seafood.....I eventually found a medium where my stomach isn't great, but it's easily tolerable by just keeping carbs and fiber to a minimum.

I'm a retired engineer with continual gastric distress and the "treatments" are overwhelming. I have had multiple endoscopies, X rays, MRI's, Paleo Reset diets (with low Fodmap), exercise like a madman, meditate, cleared for SIBO, C Diff, and H Pylori multiple times. Eliminated most seed oils, artificial sweeteners, dairy, and gluten. My Gastro put me on a PPI due to reflux and Barrett's Esophagus. Have taken a boatload of every gut supplement that is that latest thing including a ton of high quality probiotics. Also was diagnosed with PTSD so there is a stress component and the elusive brain-gut interaction. Like chasing a GD ghost. 5 years of being sick. Got 3 months of "wellness" after one reset diet. Repeated the same reset diet and zero improvement. Did not want to take the PPI but my stomach pain and bloating improved for about 6 months. Then it all came back again although it is about 75% as bad as 5 years ago. Lost as a ball in high weeds. Guess I will try another reset diet. Perhaps this Doc can help me. I'm holding out hope that I can improve before I expire.

@@mirandasullivan-selfempower , Hello Miranda. Well, I have what I believe is a breakthrough. I went to see a Functional Medicine Doc that I have seen previously. He had previosly put me on a Paleo Reset diet with lots of supplements that would go a month. Fixed my stomach issues for about 2-3 months but then it came back. A second reset did nothing. He then suggested that I had PTSD (I do) and that we needed to treat that. I could see him for an hour session of Cranial Sacral therapy and he could resolve my pain for a few hours but it would quickly return. Psyciatrists had me on Klonopin which did relax my stomcah a little bit but did not resolve the bloating, pain, belching , and IBS. Based on these internet Docs I tried Low Fodmap (again) with lots of supplements. Dropped all dairy, guten, and artificial sweeteners. Starting taking magnesium citrate. All bowel movements became perfect but I still had all the other symptoms and the stomach pain just would not go away. Five years of this until 3 days ago and a visit back to the same Doc seeking anything to help my stomach pain. He put me through some specific breathing and manipualtion of my abdominal muscles along with Cranial Sacral for about an hour. Pain gone. He then told me I was doing everything wrong. After his recommendation, and studing the information, I immediately went on a beef only carnivore diet. Day 3 and I just got back from the gym. Feel great. No stomach pain. No bloating. A touch of belching when i eat but it's just day 3!!! Brain fog is definitely impoving - not 100% sharp yet. Sorry to be so long winded. There is so much more.

Thank you for setting up your audio in such a way that you don't need to project your voice into an echo chamber of poor acoustics. You speak normally, slowly and articulately. I'm 77 years old and have suffered from this malady for 50 years. The only way I was able to mitigate it's effects was and is to follow your steps 1 and 2; walking in the fresh air and plenty of sleep bolstered by naps. I made it but it has not been easy. No medical professional has ever diagnosed the migrains, and commonly known triggers as having to do with histamine and leaky gut. I was able to shut down the migrains with 1/2 pill of Cafergot which surprisingly is an old medication. It changed my life but still, it didn't address the root cause. The doctors told me that the migrains would probably disappear around the age of 65 and that is exactly what happened, but the plain headaches and feeling way off kilter has never stopped. I recently ordered DAO which you do not mention...hmmm. And have just now ordered the grass fed beef liver capsules. I just finished 30 packets of probiotics but had no idea that they could be taken daily for several months. Thank you for drawing distinctions as to type and dosages.

Hi Dr, I’ve just discovered what leaky gut is and how my stomach health has affected me for the last decade. Short of all the issues of leaky gut I’ve had for so long I’ve also experiencing serious systemic inflammation through my entire body joint & muscular, severe scalp blistering that never recovers, constant headaches, severe sinus issues, bad broken sleep & haemorrhoids (banding surgery twice over 9yrs without solving and now I’m waiting for surgery). I just have one question if you could help me I would be really grateful. Could my haemorrhoids be a manifesting result from not being aware that my diet and leaky gut issues for a decade at least? In Australia leaky gut is not recognised so I don’t think I’ve ever been given the advice I needed by our Dr’s that could have helped me make the changes I desperately needed years ago.

I’ve discovered my fibromyalgia has almost disappeared, my scalp itchiness and blistering is calming, bloating and flatulence is minimal, and my snoring has disappeared. This information is life really life changing. Thank you Dr, I subbed for life.

[@winniecash1654]

@homebuddha about 6 months ago, I started getting hemorrhoids for the first time in my life. I have all the other symptoms you mentioned, but instead of blisters on my scalp, I get patches of skin growths that peel off. Either way, I decided to do something drastic and took on eating carnivore. It's helped me with all the GI problems. I'm still fatigued, and the fibromyalgia while getting better is not gone. Hopefully, over time, while also decreasing stress, I'll heal. I hope this information helps. God bless. Oh, I take 250-600 mgs of magnesium citrate at night. This keeps constipation away. It acts as a muscle relaxant. For constipation, you may also take high doses of vitamin C (it's safe for most people to take up to 8000 mg a day). But sometimes this causes cramping of the gut, so for me, it's a last resort. Also, 1 tablespoon of plain psyllium seed husk in the morning, vita d and mk7 (or k2), but twice a week, and daily zink, benfotiamine, b complex. I drink lots of purified water, and just started drinking kefir to help rebuild my gut biome, which so far I'm tolerating well. You'll learn what works for you. P.s. read labels. The magnesium citrate brand I usually get just started to put rapeseed oil in the blend, which is a seed oil. It is not good to ingest any seed oil. So I switched brands. Good thing I read labels. The only oil worth eating is extra virgin olive oil first press.

Hi thanks so much for this. My 13 year old son has suffered his whole life with silent reflux since a baby. It got so bad that it started giving him a chronic cough and repeated lung infections that wouldn’t clear with antibiotics. None of the gastroenterologists or doctors have heard of leaky gut when I mentioned it. I’ve tried cutting out all sorts but eventually had to reintroduce the foods for his health. I tried gluten free too, but it didn’t work. It’s so hard to get him to restrict food as he already has a very restrictive diet due to a fear of food after the trauma that foods caused him as a child. What do you suggest? It’s so unusual for a child his age to have reflux and I don’t want this to get worse. Thanks so much in advance 🙌👍

I read that it only lives in the intestines of 20-30% of the people, but who knows. It took 4mths in the hospital to heal. I had to learn to walk again. The bacteria invaded almost 90% of my body completely infiltrating all of the muscles and organs. Their main colony was set up near the tail bone from the intestines.

Important to note is to not be on a low fodmap diet for too long. The goal is to be able to tolerate all those foods, even common allergens. Can it be any soil based probiotics?

[@hcure4003]

Hi I'm just a random person but I have some thoughts on your last question; I have found many say that the effects of probiotics are temporary for them, and I'm starting to wonder if it's because there's something specific causing inflammation in the body that is hurting their microbiome balance and therefore hurting the microbiome constantly causing the probiotics to not thrive. It can be anything from hormonal dysfunction, to heavy metal toxicity, to high stress, poor sleep etc. I've found all these to be the case for me, especially sleep & hormones. When I prioritize these, my microbiome seems to do SO MUCH better. I can tell because I'm healing from h pylori which causes stabbing pains; I don't feel the stabbing pains whenever my sleep and hormones are doing better !

Thank you VERY much!

You should ask questions about GI problems to a gastroenterologist. He is a chiropractor. A GI doctor spends 3 years solely learning the gut in residency. This guy just looks stuff up on his spare time. They don't teach about it in depth in chiropractoric school... they learn about the spine.

@@dovidschoenberg7850 Sounds logical but it just does not work that way. My Gastro know absolutely nothing about diet and all the different factors that create a leaky gut. I went to him with extreme abdominal distress along with reflux. After an endoscopy he gave me a PPI for the reflux and my Barrett's esophagus. When I asked about the cause of my bloating and constant stomach pain he replied "how should I know - maybe your not getting along with your wife". When I left the office the receptionist said no further appointments were needed. He had nothing else to pursue as the endoscopy showed nothing wrong with my stomach lining. Only 1 in 50 Gastros will be able to treat you in a holistic manner for gut problems.

I’ve been doing W30 going on my 11th day . & I’ve already can tell the difference . My abdomen isn’t hurting anymore I can bend over without hurting . & I’ve dropped 7 pounds . My dads dropped about 10lbs .neither of us are exercising . Oh and I’m not as out of breathe anymore . Getting rid of inflammation food definitively is helping to reset my gut system

Leaky gut from h pylor,undiagnosed for years.sinus problems/headaches,extreme fatigue,hormone issues/thyorid low of lack of iron and nutrients.constipation/diarrhea, bloating after a meal, sleep probls,food intolerance,depression and anxiety brain fog,irregular periods,skin problems, list goes on.I could even see fat in my stool because I don't break down food properly. Its been a nightmare.not one doctor mention leaky gut,it was a woman that worked as a nutrition that told me abouth it. Even after I tried heal it myself the h pylori was still the problem. Most Doctors are extremely ignorant to peoples problems nor would they listen to you. I followed this doctor for while now and he is an intelligent one who understand the microbiom of a human. Good luck everyone🙏

How are your symptoms doing now? 🙏 for healing and improved health

My Mayo gastroenterologist won't even address intestinal permeability or leaky gut. He says Mayo Clinic does not consider it a disease and therefore will not treat it as such....in other words, he won't talk to me about it at all.

[@donnachiarappi3490]

My Gi doctor from Ct is the same ! It is a shame. Most are mainstream and do not believe in any alternative therapies

Remember, doctors can't make money if they cure patients.
