Inflammation Starts in the Gut

Do you have Endotoxins leaking from your colon into your bloodstream right now? Don’t be so quick to think you don’t. It's a staggering statistic but “leaky gut” actually affects about 80-90% of people today, and the symptoms affect the whole body not just the digestive system. I assume that most people coming to see me for Acupuncture and are complaining of chronic systemic inflammation are also suffering from leaky gut.

This problem is made even worse because most drugs that Doctors use to allay the symptoms and that most of my patients are initially using such as NSAID’s, Statins, PPI’s (reflux), laxatives, and of course antibiotics all create more metabolic dysfunction within the gut. They disturb the balance of the gut microbiome and further enhance gut dysbiosis. That is why they come with a long list of side effects that appear to be worse than the original disease. Everyone knows that antibiotics are not good for the body’s microbiome, but try and digest this little known fact; IBUPROFIN can wipe out your gut flora on par with antibiotics. But I’ll bet your Doctor has never suggested probiotic therapy after Ibuprofin use.

Acupuncture in most instances can alleviate physical symptoms of disease better than drugs or any other intervention and meanwhile we address the underlying causes through acupuncture, dietary interventions and lifestyle modifications. After all, you can’t drug yourself back into good health.

Here in my clinic I realize that you want to get to the root of your issues. You want to feel great and you don’t mind making changes if they make a real difference. You don’t want to pop pills and mitigate their side effects with more pills that will have more side effects. I like my job because I get to provide you with real answers, solutions you can implement and a path forward that looks like it is leading you out of the tunnel instead of into it.
