If the digestive system is healthy, the immune system can do its job well. But chronic inflammation, due to an incorrect diet, ends up affecting the structure and health of the intestine; and therefore, destabilizing the immune system. It is not that he makes a strike in the Western style, but on the contrary: he makes a "Japanese strike", that is, he works more. This overactivity of the defenses leads to an autoimmune disease (the body attacks its own body and not the aggressor).

For years we have punished the intestine with an excess of medicines (including antibiotics), junk food, food additives, and a list of very frequent and undesirable foods that I will reveal to you ... all of which produces "leaky gut syndrome" » It is the beginning of an infinity of health problems and symptoms such as migraine and headache.

The leaky gut syndrome is the modern epidemic that creates digestive and autoimmune problems. Conventional doctors do not pay much attention to intestinal health, which is the key to the proper functioning of the immune system.

For example, a single cycle of taking broad spectrum antibiotics can lead to a massive destruction of the intestinal flora or microbiota. The recovery may take years, and even then some of the microorganisms will never recover. A single antibiotic treatment can affect the microbiota for the rest of your life.

Goodbye microbiota, goodbye health.

But that's not all, the list of damages is greater: permeability of the intestine, overgrowth of bacteria, yeast, decay of the immune system ... I know that taking antibiotics is often imperative (they saved my life, one of the three times I was on the verge of death), but they have a price.

As a metaphor, it's like cutting down a whole forest to put out a fire. Undoubtedly, antibiotics have saved many lives, like mine, but they have also ruined the intestinal health of many people. As a rule, they should be taken only when they are essential and never by self-prescription.

The indiscriminate use of antibiotics, uncontrolled medicines, environmental toxins, food additives, some cosmetic ingredients, stress and improper nutrition ... are responsible for sabotaging intestinal health. From there, you can expect anything.

Before using antibiotics, it is better to ask yourself the question: are they really necessary? To use them systematically and indiscriminately is to attack the microbiota, which is getting bread for today but hunger for tomorrow. As you now know, the affectation of the intestinal flora causes various health problems also the migraine.

The Great Problem is aggravated with a gut, and a blood-brain barrier, permeable. Imagine that toxins that are not naturally eliminated reach your brain. You can not expect anything good. The consequences are many and none will please you. I've been one of the lucky ones: just a migraine! (originating in a leaky gut, intolerance to gluten and intolerance to histamine).

Other people, less fortunate, have developed: allergies, arthritis, lupus, eczema and dangerous degenerative diseases of the mind and joints. Do I still ?: autism, diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, nervous tics, ADD, ADHD, ALS ... and an endless list. Is it normal that diabetes has multiplied tenfold in the world in the last ten years? In a decade more, 500 million diabetics diagnosed in the world and others are expected both in the anteroom.

bad nutrition -> leaky gut -> toxins in blood -> liver stress -> accumulation of toxins -> chronic inflammation -> disease

This chain is summarized as follows:
