ALL DISEASES BEGIN IN THE GUT PART 1 AND 2
FRI, OCT 17 AT 9:00 AM

 

All diseases begin in the gut! This is a statement made many years ago by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. The more we learn with our modern scientific tools, the more we realize just how correct Hippocrates was! Amy and Andrea will be talking about GAP Syndrome or GAPS, which stands for Gut And Psychology/Gut And Physiology Syndrome. Autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, depression, dyslexia, dyspraxia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and many other psychological and psychiatric problems will be covered. Autoimmune problems, allergies, asthma, eczema, MS, chronic fatigue syndrome, ME, fibromyalgia, arthritis, diabetes type one, chronic cystitis, chronic skin problems and many other physical conditions also will be discussed. All of these problems are becoming more common among children and adults. Amy and Andrea will be talking about what GAPS is and how to treat it with a sound nutritional protocol based on common sense and dietary traditions, used by people for millennia all over the world.
