Leaky Gut
The digestive tract is a complex affair. This is a twisted tube, from mouth to anus, is not "in" the body. Interestingly, if you were to lay out this tube, with all its folds laid flat, it would cover a tennis court. If it were leaky, you would be in trouble.
A regimen of soda, donuts, antacids, antibiotics and processed food alone, could lead to trouble. The unhealthy aspects of these, along with a host of other junk many of us consume, can lead to leaky gut.
Leaky gut means the delicate lining, especially of the 24-foot long small intestine, is not quite as robust as it once was. Undigested food particles can slip through the lining into the capillaries or lymph vessels which are similar to vein capillaries. These undigested food particles contain chains of amino acids which should be broken down into single amino acids.
These chains of amino acids look like viruses, bacteria or other microscopic parasites to the immune system and an immune response is initiated. Because the lining is undernourished, it continues to leak and the immune system continues to attack. At first the response is like the police calming down a riot. An advanced response feels more like war. Inflammation is always part of an immune response. In medical speak - inflammation means pain, redness, heat, and swelling or any one of these.
Eating overall healthy food is part of the handling. Healing the lining with specialized, highly concentrated foods, herbs and the like is the other part of the healing process.
How healthy do you eat? Do you have a leaky gut?

Fish Oil and Nerve Pain Relief
Nerve pain, also called neuralgia, is pain that
follows the pathway of the nerve. It can have many different causes, but
often the cause is unknown.
Sometimes a primary external agent or cause at a particular site along
the nerve pathway can be identified. Chemicals, inflammation,
compression of tissues, tissue damage from accident or surgery and
tumors can all cause nerve pain.
One common form of nerve pain causes discomfort in the face and surface
of the eye. Other forms of nerve pain are triggered by specific
conditions, such as shingles and diabetes.
Neuralgia often develops into a condition called neuropathic pain. When
neuralgia becomes chronic, it can cause deterioration of the myelin
sheath that surrounds and insulates pain nerves.
Then, just like an electrical circuit with exposed wiring, nerves that
shouldn't be communicating directly with each other cross paths and
create a feedback loop that perpetuates pain.
Dr. Gorgon Ko describes several case studies of chronic pain in the
February 2010 "Clinical Journal of Pain." Five patients with
neuropathic pain experienced lasting relief by taking high dosages of
EPA and DHA. Dosages of 2,400 to 7,200 mg a day contributed to
improvements that were maintained for as long as 19 months.
It then follows that the higher the Omega-3 (EPA & DHA) content of
the fish oil, the more it will nutritionally support and help your body
to maintain normal nerve function.
* Average fish oil has 300 mg (EPA & DHA) Omega-3s.
* Higher Quality fish oil has 600 mg (EPA & DHA) Omega-3s.
* WSN Cold Water Fish Oil has 1200 mg (EPA & DHA) Omega-3s.
WSN Cold Water Fish Oil gel caps are also "enteric coated" so
that they do not dissolve until they pass through the stomach and reach
the intestines. That way there are no "fishy burps" or
aftertaste.
Not all fish oils are the same. The highest quality fish oil comes from
cold water fish, and the best cold water fish oil comes from the deep
cold waters off the Norwegian coast. If the label does not state
"cold water," it is low quality warm water fish oil.

Fiber - It Can Lower Blood Sugar and Cholesterol Levels
A diet rich in fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood sugar in diabetics. Many diabetics can significantly lower their blood sugar, and as a result, reduce their diabetic and cholesterol medications or stop taking them altogether, by eating lots of high fiber foods.
A recent study published in the May issue of The New England Journal of Medicine found that blood sugar levels were reduced by 8.9% on a high fiber diet. It also lowered cholesterol and triglycerides.
Fiber comes from the cell walls of plants. Additionally, fiber and water work together to keep the bowels regular.
Unfortunately, the majority of high fiber foods also contain a high amount of carbohydrates, and if you are diabetic, those will increase your blood sugar levels dramatically.
Below are lists of low-carb foods that are also high in fiber, along with the
approximate number of grams of fiber they contain.
The fiber content shown is for a quantity of 1/2 cup.
Low-Carb Fruits
Low-Carb Vegetables
Including more of the above foods in your diet will help in lowering blood
sugar and cholesterol levels.
You should make changes to your diet to include more high fiber foods, and do it
gradually. Just add a few grams at a time so that your digestive system can
adjust.
It’s best to increase the amount of fiber in your diet over several weeks. This prevents problems with stomach-aches, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
The message is, increase the amount of fiber in your diet!Need to maintain normal blood sugar go to http://www.mcvitamins.com/diabetes.htm find out more about Diabetes and what you can do about it.
