Gut Permeability - 5/10/2009 - Hour 2
Gut Permeability -- Another overlooked aspect of this Swine Flu scare is the issue of virulence as it relates to intestinal integrity or fortitude.
One of the nutritional explanations to the severity of the claimed H1N1 pandemic in Mexico is their over reliance on corn as a staple in the diet. This excess consumption can lead to a Niacin deficiency, which in turn can increase gut permeability. Why is this important?
The gut is the seat of the immune system. If it is pathologically porous and open to viral transport, viral replication can take place in areas difficult for the immune system to respond.
The WHO and CDC are gearing us up for a second wave this coming fall and winter - and yet they remain wholly ignorant of nutritional considerations in its prevention. I will not stand for bureaucratic irresponsibility and neither should you.
This hour, I will reveal what you can do to heal the gut (without a billion dollar budget) and laugh in the face of Chicken Little pronouncements coming from Clifton Road in Atlanta. Also, Thomas James returns from HempUSA.org to discuss another important aspect to this intestinal immune recovery.
