Leaky Gut Syndrome, the Villain Behind Allergy/Sensitivity, and How Do You Know If You Have It
A porous intestinal lining, or Leaky Gut, allows food molecules, that would normally be too large, to pass through the intestinal lining. Once these abnormally large molecules get through, they trigger a natural defense reaction whereby the body builds antibodies to identify the larger molecule as an invader, and attack it. The result of this antigen/antibody reaction is what we call an allergy/sensitivity, and any tissue in the body can express an allergy/sensitivity. Leaky Gut Syndrome creates a cascade of events that results in increasingly more allergy/sensitivities.
Cellular Energy Machinery (mitochondria), Aging, and a Strategy For Reversal
Apparently, the same combination of antioxidant nutrients that are so important in the treatment of type II diabetes are equally important to stop and reverse oxidative damage at the mitochondrial level. Preliminary human trials are suggesting that this combination of antioxidants – Acetyl l-Carnetine and Alpha Lipoic acid – has the same effect on people.
