Did you know that the human body is made up of 100 trillion cells? Surprisingly, 90 per cent of these are actually bacterial cells, not human!
Yes, when it comes down to the cellular level you're just a bunch of microbes piled up together looking pretty.
All joking aside, the great news about this data is that we're finally discovering new ways to treat chronic illnesses successfully, rather than the many hit-or-miss treatments that have come and gone over the past 100 years. Thus, a new paradigm is emerging in the medical and nutrition fields.
Most of the bacteria in the body live in the gastrointestinal tract - especially in your gut - and are healthy, helpful organisms that live a symbiotic relationship with you, the host. These microorganisms make up 90 percent of your genes and DNA - outnumbering your own DNA by a huge number - and they are responsible for regulating digestion and intestinal function, protecting against infections, stabilizing immune function, controlling obesity, and even producing essential nutrients such as vitamins and essential fatty acids while also assisting in the absorption of minerals.
Western medicine trained doctors identify diseases by the location and severity of the symptoms. Obesity is related to a metabolic problem; acne to a problem with the skin; ADD is a psychological problem; allergies are a problem of the immune system; and diabetes a failing pancreas. This is all accurate. However, it doesn't tell us the origin of the problem and the imbalance usually remains, just patched up temporarily with medication, while eventually other symptoms will emerge.
The new paradigm within the most forward thinking members of the medical community agrees with what I have been saying for years. First we find the root of the health imbalance and we treat it with healthy food, nutrition, sun and water, thus addressing the cause instead of the symptom.
The past year has been extremely busy and rewarding. As more research comes to light, I am excited to bring more answers to you. The result of all the hard work is finally here.
The Salud Life Wellness Institute is launching Nutrtibiotica, a groundbreaking nutrition system based on an individual's unique composition of genes, microbiota and antibodies present in the body.
Nutribiotica provides diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities based upon personalized nutrition, where diet is matched to an individual's microbiome.
Blood and stool tests can tell us the composition of your body's ecosystem and give us answers to why you have developed these symptoms and then target them with a personalized diet and supplements. The results are astonishing!
The cause of many symptoms such as allergies, acne, autoimmune diseases, weight gain, migraine headaches, arthritis, depression, OCD, ADD, digestive problems; and sugar, food and alcohol addiction, can be traced back to an imbalance of the microbial community you harbor in your gut.
The number one approach and priority to treat these conditions is normalizing gut function and digestion and boosting the immune system. If you suffer from any of these ailments you most likely have allergies to foods and exposure to environmental factors you're not aware of.
Yes, it takes time. There is no miracle cure. But the guarantees of getting your health back are closer than you think, lurking deep within your gut!
Salud!
