The National Digestive Diseases Clearinghouse states that 60-70 million people are affected by all digestive diseases (1996), that there are 14.5 million non-institutionalized adults with diagnosed ulcers, and that there were 234,000 digestive-related deaths, including deaths from cancer in 2002.
Annually, there are some 600,000 gallbladder removals in the US! Fortunately, nearly all of these digestive disharmonies are preventable with the correct restorative natural support. Diseases linked to dysbiosis: Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Graves disease, chronic active hepatitis, IBS, flatulent dyspepsia, chronic constipation and diarrhea, diverticular disease, gastrointestinal infections and intestinal overgrowth (candida), allergies (asthma and hay fever), poor immunity, chronic skin disorders, breast and colon cancer, insulin resistance and diabetes, low energy, obesity, neuropsychiatric problems especially autism, and lack of overall well being. Using Functional Nutrition, we work from the nervous system to the endocrines, from the respiratory system to the cardiovascular, from the musculoskeletal system to the lymphatic system, from the digestive system to immunity, and from mental health to brain function. We look at the function of the whole body versus the pathology of the different body parts.
