Gut Healing Protocol – IBS

IBS is a common problem suffered by at least 1 in 10 people worldwide. It is the term given to undiagnosed troublesome gut issues. It varies in symptoms from person to person, with most people reporting some degree of bloating, pain, cramping, excessive gas, irregular bowel habits, constipation and/or diarrhea.

IBS and for that matter, all irritable bowel diseases, are linked to many chronic illnesses such as anxiety, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s, obesity and arthritis. As Hippocrates was quoted as saying, “All dis-ease begins in the gut”.

Many doctors and scientists believe that IBS is caused by a reaction to many food sugars or proteins, however, we are not really 100% certain what causes it.  It is definitely due to a loss of tolerance to something, causing a heightened immune response, but to exactly what, we are not sure.  Leaky gut (intestinal hyper-permeability) is also most probably involved to some degree or other, and this needs to be addressed for healing to occur.

Our gut healing protocol is about resting and repairing the gut lining, down regulating the immune response and rebuilding the way your body reacts to food sugars and proteins.   It is designed to take the load off the digestive system and allow it to heal.

It is a simple but powerful protocol that provides the gateway to a new you.

The protocol is based around the regeneration cycle of your intestinal system, which according to Harvard University is every 5 to 7 days.

For this reason, the program starts with an initial 5-day period, followed by another 5 days; and then 4 more to take you to a total of 14 days, just in case your intestinal system regenerates on a 7-day cycle rather than 5.

Breaking the 14 days down into shorter time periods enables you to initially focus on simply doing 5 days, after which you should be feeling significantly better.  This gives you the impetus to do another 5 days and when that is finished you reward yourself with the final 4 days to ensure you have covered 2 full intestinal regeneration cycles.

Around day 3 expect your resolve to complete the protocol to be tested as you cope with your past food habits, addictions and beliefs.  This is normal.  It is a mental challenge, not a physical one, although you may feel like it is a physical challenge.  There is only one way to cope with this and that is to continue so that you break through the window of change and start to feel the benefits.

Another reason for breaking the timeframe up into shorter time periods is it allows you to embark on the protocol and if, after 5 days, life gets in the way and you find you cannot do another 5 or 9 days, then you can stop at a logical break point. At least during your first 5 days your gut lining, or the epithelial cells that line the gut, have had a chance to regenerate without insult.  A great start.  But don’t rest on that.  Look at your calendar and reschedule in the 14 days required to get you through 2 complete regenerations of your intestinal system.  This is very important.

Know that once you have purchased the protocol, you have it for life.  So going forward, make it one of your annual rituals.

Remember, the goal is to reduce the workload imposed on the intestinal system whilst it goes through regenerating itself.  This is a wonderful thing to do regularly throughout your life.
