Gut floraThough you might be new to “tuning into your gut”, the link between your digestive system and your overall health is not a new one. On the contrary, digestive health has long been at the center of natural healing for centuries, used in both Indian Ayurvedic practices and traditional Chinese medicine. But what is new is the growing interest from Western medicine. And although most traditional MD’s won’t ask you about your kefir, a growing number are acknowledging that gut health is truly crucial in both physical and mental wellness.

Dr. N. Campbell-McBride has spearheaded this effort in many regards, establishing something called GAPS, or Gut and Psychology Syndrome. She says conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, and depression can all be linked to poor gut health. She’s even created a diet to cure these conditions through proper digestive regulation.

So, whether you are a follower of Dr. Campbell-McBride or new to the gut-health phenomena, there are some very simple things you can to do improve your gut health. And since gut health is said to be responsible for 80% of our immunity, you’ll definitely want to take some time to brush up on this subject.

Gut Flora Accounts For Up To 80% Of Immunity, Not Vaccinations

Natural Society April 25 2013

It’s important for parents to at least consider the potential dangers and lack of necessity of vaccinations. Now some pediatricians are withholding treatment for children whose parents’ have rejected all or some vaccinations – this simply isn’t right. But it’s important not to cave in to those pressures, and continue researching vaccines from multiple sources.

Vaccine Advocate Says Children Can Receive 10,000 Vaccines at Once

An example of, let’s call it lunacy, from high places in the vaccine industry, Dr. Paul Offit once publicly remarked that children can safely receive 100,000 vaccines at once. He later changed that to 10,000. Unfortunately, this leading pediatrician who holds influential University and Clinical positions has media clout and has been interviewed often.

He has written publications refuting vaccination dangers and condemning those who refuse vaccinations for their children, even to the point of encouraging pediatricians to not provide care for children not vaccinated.

Of course, Offit has made sure Merck’s Rotavirus vaccine Rotateq® is included as part of early childhood vaccine schedules. Merck awarded Offit a grant of $350,000 to help develop the vaccine, and he has partial patent rights as well, which have recently been sold for a one time healthy profit of $180 million. This undoubtedly is not the only conflict of interest.

Offit has made these outrageous claims of the vaccination capacity of infants, while assuring their immune systems are able to handle quite a bit in their newly inhabited world. Though passed on by mainstream media without question, his statements are totally false.

But his authoritative bluster does intimidate or confuse the public while boosting his vaccine industry revenue.
