disease begins in the gut

Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD, MMedSci (neurology), MMedSci (nutrition), is one of the world’s leading experts in treating learning disabilities and mental, digestive and immune disorders.  Her website is www.gaps.me.  I heard her talk at the Festival for Traditional Nutrition held in London last month and cannot recommend her highly enough. She explained that the digestive system is your second brain and that Hippocrates said that all diseases begin in the gut.  Gut flora is vital for the appropriate digestion and absorption of food.  If a child does not acquire normal balanced gut flora then a child will not digest and absorb foods properly, developing multiple nutritional deficiencies.  She treats children naturally at her clinic in Oxford, but is so busy that she has put lots of information on her website so as not to deny any children treatment.
