Gut Protein Found To Protect Against Infection and Leaky Gut Syndrome

Gut Protein Found To Protect Against Infection and Intestinal Breakdown
Excerpts from an Article Dated: 13 Feb 2006

Recent research conducted at UT Southwestern Medical Center has found that a particular protein which binds to bile in the small intestine may hold the key to preventing infection and intestinal breakdown in people with conditions such as obstructive jaundice or irritable bowel syndrome.

Bile helps the body absorb nutrients, kills certain bacteria and helps keep the lining of the intestines intact. Bile is a major barrier against the infiltration of infectious microorganisms such as biotoxins aka neurotoxins.

When there’s no bile in the intestines or it is deficient the intestines allow bacteria to pass through it into the body – a condition sometimes referred to as leaky gut. It appears that a molecule identified as FXR binds to bile acids and is responsible for maintaining gut health. It was found to activate several genes that are known to protect the intestinal lining and attack bacteria.

This leads me to believe that FXR is inactivated by a yeast/fungus which is common to not only leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohns, but Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia as well.

With this information I suggest you get the Instant Allergy Relief Manual so you can treat yourself  for a deficiency in the FXR protein.

Biotoxins Produce Neurotoxins

Biotoxins are comprised of a variety of infectious organisms such as bacteria including the spirochetes (Syphilis and Lyme disease), viruses, parasites, toxic dinoflagelletes like Pfiesteria, and a multitude of yeast/fungus.

Simply put, biotoxins produce a plethera of neurotoxins. Many of these infectants end within your gall bladder and liver disrupting bile formation creating a neurotoxic biliary sludge that is extremely detrimental to the cell membranes in the Central Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System or ‘second brain’ – our gut. This sets the stage for the proliferation of conditions like dysbiosis and leaky gut with their associated multiple allergies, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s and various mental emotional brain dysfunctions including Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Extending our Anti-Aging Time Line

Longevity is only an

EPA and DHA Away

Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) cannot be produced in our body; we must get them from dietary sources. There are two types of essential fatty acids that we must be concerned with. One is called omega-6 fatty acids and the other omega-3 fatty acids (FA’s). Omega-3 is further broken down into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which each have specific applications in our body which will be covered later.

Omega-6 and Omega-3 FA’s are REQUIRED for the vital functions that occur in all of our cells and tissues. It turns out that healthy people have a higher content of Omega-3 oils in their blood than those who are ill. And, because the brain is 60% lipid (fat) and the nerve cells in our brain are 80% lipid it’s easy to understand that our brain requires and benefits greatly from omega-3’s more than any other system of the body.

Heavy Metals Stay in Fatty Tissues along with Neurotoxins

Our food, water and the environment have deteriorated to such an extent that we are all vulnerable to ongoing low level exposure to toxic metals. For example, our farm lands are being inundated with heavy metal through the liquid fertilizers they use – this is how it’s showing up in the food supply. Many of us don’t trust our water supplies preferring to drink bottled water rather than be exposed to fluoride and other dangerous substances that appear in municipal water supplies.

Neurotoxins are lipid loving and able to dissolve and easily pass through our cell membranes which are a bilayer phospholipid structure. Heavy Metals represent another group of highly lipid soluble antagonists that when present make it very difficult for our bodies detoxification systems to remove either the biotoxins or the neurotoxins they produce. Some heavy metals easily pass through the blood-brain barrier swelling brain cells like astrocytes.

Biotoxins and the Neurotoxic Membrane Syndrome

Chronic, neurotoxin-mediated illnesses.

Our cell membrane is that target of degenerate disease and generally all states of ill-health. Chronic illnesses related to biotoxic damage to cell membranes are what Patricia Kane refers to as ‘Neurotoxic Membrane Syndrome.’ Maintaining and sustaining the functional vitality of our cell membranes is the highest priority in our fight against anti-aging and the ravages of disease.
