Heal, restore and promote wellbeing
Improvement and recovery can be supported through the Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) gut healing nutritional protocol benefitting very small children to adults, and the effects of gut dysbiosis are far-reaching. An unhealthy gut can cause a myriad of problems because 90% of all cells and genetic material in the human body is gut flora - a complex mass of microbes residing in your digestive system.
In a healthy person these are dominated by beneficial microbes in harmony with your body, making sure you are well-nourished, protected from pathogens and toxins with a healthy immune system.
In a GAPS person the gut flora is dominated by pathogenic microbes causing multiple health problems.

Improvement and recovery can be supported through the GAPS gut healing nutritional protocol benefitting very small children to adults, and the effects of gut dysbiosis are far-reaching. An unhealthy gut can cause a myriad of problems because 90% of all cells and genetic material in the human body is gut flora - a complex mass of microbes residing in your digestive system.
In a healthy person these are dominated by beneficial microbes in harmony with your body, making sure you are well-nourished, protected from pathogens and toxins with a healthy immune system. In a GAPS person the gut flora is dominated by pathogenic microbes causing multiple health problems.
These can result in extreme behavioural problems in children as young as 2, unexplained multiple accidents and viruses made worse by a compromised immune system, constipation, sickly disposition and very limited diet to name but a few symptoms.
Gut Healing
@gh - you have two heading the same (Gut Healing), could you be more specific?
In 2015, I trained with neurologist and medical nutritionist Natasha McBride Campbell MD, in Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS), a protocol that focuses on gut healing.
Through thirty years of clinical research, Dr McBride Campbell established a protocol for children suffering from Autism and ADHD, which she then realised suited adults with a similar range of symptoms. Many people are now gluten-free and casein-free which has helped them enormously, but without ways of restoring the gut flora and healing the membranes of the body, vital nutrients, manufactured in the gut wall still won’t be accessible.
Possible symptoms
- Colitis
- Coeliac Disease
- Crohn’s Disease
- Memory loss and poor concentration
- Fatigue
Reasons why you or your child might have an unhealthy gut: (and the effects of these pass through the mother to the child in utero)
- Medication
- Contraceptive pill
- Antibiotics
- Pain-killers
- Vaccinations
- X-rays
The Chinese see the gut as the second brain, so if you’re suffering from brain fog maybe a change in diet might help? I have seen people experience positive changes occur in their skin, digestion, weight as well as their overall energy levels and motivation. They look ten or twenty years younger!
The protocol involves sauerkraut, home-made yoghurt, meat stocks and specific milestones in the healing process that may take from six weeks to a couple of years to complete, but it’s worth it to end pain and discomfort and allow the body to manufacture what nutrients it needs to maintain a strong immune system.
