Restore For Gut Health

You never heard of gluten sensitivity or gluten free diets a few decades ago.

How did the human race all of a sudden become sensitive to gluten? To answer that question, we have to examine a phenomenon called "Leaky Gut Syndrome".

Leaky Gut Syndrome:

You may very well have heard of leaky gut syndrome. I prefer to call this disorder "Hyperpermeable Gut Syndrome".

We all have a mucosal lining in our small intestine. This lining has small openings called tight junctions. When we are exposed to 5 factors, we tend to have damage occur to our gut lining that can cause leaky gut syndrome.

The 5 Factors That Contribute To Leaky Gut Syndrome Are:

1. Gluten

2. Roundup (glyphosate)

3. Over the counter and prescription medications

4. Environmental toxins

5. GMOs.

When these 5 factors are combined, they all tend to make those pores or tight junctions open up. I call the larger pores loose junctions. These loose junctions will allow larger molecules get into our bloodstream that should not be there. This causes chronic inflammation, can lead to autoimmune diseases and can even eventually lead to cancer. Almost everyone has leaky gut syndrome to a lesser or to a greater extent.

Another problem is the biodiversity of our gut bacteria. We should have at least 85% beneficial bacteria and less than 15% pathological bacteria to be healthy. When we have too high of a percentage of pathological bacteria, this isn't promoting good health. To be in good health, we should also have about a total of 20 - 30 thousand different species of microbes. We all have about 100 trillion microbes in and on us, which total about 2 - 3 pounds.

The supplement Restore helps to reduce the size of tight junctions that have expanded beyond the size that they should be. Restore is derived from ancient soil extracts from the deserts of the Western United States. Restore also helps to increase the biodiversity of gut bacteria. The carbon redox molecule is one key ingredient in Restore that helps this improvement to happen. The carbon redox molecules helps to reestablish the tight junctions in the gut, improve healthy cell longevity and increase apoptosis (cell death) in unhealthy cells.

Restore also helps with neurological functioning and reduces "brain fog".

Maintaining gut balance is vital to overall health, since much of the body’s immune system is related to the health of our gut.
