Leaky
Gut Syndrome
a comprehensive
overview
by Dr Michael Elstein
It is now more important
than ever to look after the health of your digestive
process. New and old bugs are emerging to challenge
your gastrointestinal resources and the way health issues
are viewed.
Helicobacter
pylori is one such organism together with the ever
present Candida
albicans. Both these potential pathogens raise the
critical point about whether it's necessary to treat
the invader or the individual.
Pasteur asked this
very question many years ago and in many ways this seminal
point separates western medical thinking from the naturopathic
perspective.
Early on in his career,
Pasteur's answer was to attempt to deal with the organism
and it was only when he was lying on his death bed that
he acknowledged the importance of the environment, thereby
undergoing a major shift in his thinking.
As he was dying he
uttered the words 'le terrain', which means that
the state of the land is more important than the microbes
invading it. Make sure that your body is in good shape
and you will be dealing effectively with any harmful
organisms.
Let
us look at a comprehensive overview on Helicobacter
pylori and Candida
albicans in turn, to see how this dilemma applies.
