The Role of Fiber in Digestive Health

Friday, June 17, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Fiber and digestive health is a very interesting subject.

Contrary to conventional (mis) understanding its role in assisting constipation is perhaps it’s least important. It’s most important benefit is as a source of nutrition for the bacterial culture that makes up the mucosal lining–maintaining it. Subsequently the mucosal lining protects the gastrointestinal wall–preventing inflammatory diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome–colitis–Crohn’s disease.

The most common cause of constipation is a magnesium deficiency. If you do not address that 1st- the fiber is likely to just back up on you. * Rule #1- if you have any kind of inflammatory bowel disease such as IBS- Colitis- Leaky Gut ect- DO NOT TAKE ANY KIND OF BOWEL CLEANSER OF FIBER SUPPLEMENT-YOU WILL DEFINITELY MAKE YOU PROBLEM WORSE.

Replace the mucosal lining.

2. Replace the mucosal lining.

3. Replace the mucosal lining.

When the people trying to find a cure for colon cancer stop making it so complicated they will find a cure for colon cancer. The real precursor for colon cancer is IBS-Colitis-Ulcerative Colitis- Leaky Gut Syndrome & Crohn’s Disease. Instead of consulting with a oncologist after you have colon cancer- find a Holistic Gastro-enterologist BEFORE you have colon cancer.The real cure is prevention–replace the mucosal lining.

What Should You Do If You Have Inflammatory Bowel Disease?

Friday, June 10, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

If you have inflammatory bowel disease, the good news is that your condition is curable.  This means that regardless of whether you have colitis, leaky gut syndrome, or Crohn’s disease, there is definitely hope that you will get better.  It is important to note that these issues were caused by injury to you gastrointestinal tract.  In fact, your own digestive acids caused this injury.  If you have been thinking that you inherited your inflammatory bowel disease or that it is some sort of auto-immune disease, it is time to change your thinking and realize that your condition can indeed be treated and cured.

The amount of suffering that you are experiencing is directly related to the amount of damage that has been caused by your stomach’s digestive acids.  You can compare the various gastrointestinal issues with first, second and third degree burns.  So how do you treat this damage?

The first thing to realize is that drugs are not going to help you recover.  Many doctors prescribe drugs like steroids to fix inflammatory bowel disease.  However, these drugs will never heal your issues.  They may temporarily cover up the problem, but often, prolonged use of medication just leads to surgery.

The fact of the matter is that medication is part of what caused your problems in the first place!  Medicines breach the protective lining of the GI tract.  Once this important mucosal lining is no longer protecting your intestinal tissue, digestive acids can penetrate and cause harm.  As soon as the intestinal wall has been eroded by acid, you will start experiencing the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.  You will see disturbing things like blood in the toilet, diarrhea and mucus in your stool.  Over time, the acid will continue to harm your tissue.

It is crucial to receive the proper treatment to heal your body.  This is done through reversing the problem and rebuilding the gastrointestinal tract.  The mucosal lining must be replaced.  At this point, your stomach acid will no longer be able to damage your tissue.  Also your intestinal wall must be rebuilt.  Drugs are not necessary to achieve this goal.  Instead, you can rebuild through the use of nutritional supplements that contain organic compounds that are the same as what is naturally in the body.   A naturopathic doctor can help you to achieve this goal.  The end result will be a permanent drug-free solution.

When Should You See a Holistic Gastroenterologist?

Thursday, June 9, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

If you are suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, it makes sense to see a holistic gastroenterologist as soon as possible.  These professionals can assist you in ways and offer solutions that are beyond what traditional medical doctors can offer.

If you are wondering whether or not you have inflammatory bowel disease, it is important to note that this term covers a wide array of conditions like colitis, leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis and Crohn’s disease.  While medical doctors may prescribe various medications to treat these issues, the fact is that these drugs will not fix the problem.  In fact, your condition will likely continue to get worse even while you take these drugs.  While you might find that some of your symptoms temporarily abate, the fact is that your gastrointestinal problems will continue to get worse.

So what is a holistic gastroenterologist exactly?  This type of professional is a naturopathic doctor.  Naturopathic doctors focus on using natural remedies whenever possible, as opposed to conventional medication.  While the paths recommended by traditional MDs often result in surgery, a holistic gastroenterologist will seek to heal your issues without medication.  In most cases, surgery can be avoided altogether.

There are subtle differences that a naturopathic doctor will focus on to see exactly what is wrong with your digestive system.  While issues like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are both types of inflammatory bowel disease, they can be treated differently.   Based on your unique situation, a holistic gastroenterologist will put together a treatment plan that will suit your particular issues.

You will even find that there are differences in recommended foods depending on whether you see a naturopathic doctor or a traditional medical doctor.  For example, a holistic gastroenterologist will recommend a low fiber diet without produce, nuts or seeds for those that are currently experiencing issues.  If patients eat roughage, it can aggravate the condition and cause extreme issues like blood in toilet.  However, once a patient is thoroughly healed, he or she can proceed to eat any type of food that he or she wishes.  If you are seeking to permanently end your inflammatory bowel condition, it only makes sense to seek the help of a holistic gastroenterologist.

Probiotics and Colostrum

Tuesday, May 10, 2011 3 Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Many people take probiotics without realizing that it is essential to also take colostrum along with it.  Probiotics and colostrum truly go hand it hand.  This article will explain why it is so essential to take the two together.  If you are looking to relieve issues like colitis or chronic diarrhea, don’t skimp on taking the two together. The key to taking these is in knowing which ones to take for the individual & their unique needs. Taking the wrong ones can at best do nothing & at worst- make you sick. Just one example is if the person taking either one of these is lactose intolerant. Also there is often times the need to take different ones at different stages of the treatment. It can get complicated.

So what is colostrum?  This is a substance that comes directly from a mother’s breast when she is nursing her child.  This milk is also a rich source of probiotics.  The combination of the colostrum and probiotics together build a strong immune system in the baby.

The fact is that probiotics are useless without colostrum.  They will just go “in one door and out the other.”  Why spend your money on probiotics if they will just be immediately leaving your system?  The reason why colostrum is so essential is that it allows the probiotics to stick to the inner surface of the GI tissue.  This process enables the probiotics to remain permanently in your gut, instead of quickly just leaving your body.

Of course, if you take antibiotics at any point during your life, this will kill off the friendly bacteria regardless of whether you have taken it with colostrum or not.  In this case, you will need to repeat the cycle over again from the start and begin a new course of probiotics with colostrum. Different antibiotics require different probiotics to replace the specific strains that were killed off.

When you were first breastfed, this developed the mucosal lining in your body.  This lining is so powerful that it can last a person’s whole life if he or she doesn’t take antibiotics.  Of course, if you were never breastfed, you will need to take colostrum and probiotics to get this necessary ingredient into your system.  When people are fed soy formulas, they are put at a major disadvantage as far as their health is concerned.

The fact is that colostrum helps to repair a wide variety of gastrointestinal issues.   Oftentimes people take probiotics for issues like chronic diarrhea treatment or colitis cures and then are disappointed that this supplementation doesn’t work.  When that is the case, the sufferer needs to remember how essential it is to take the correct colostrum-with the correct probiotic.

Why Colostrum is the Ultimate Superfood

Sunday, May 8, 2011 2 Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Unfortunately, a great many people virtually throw away their money on probiotics, because they don’t take them with colostrum.  Whether you have colitis, diverticulitis, or leaky gut syndrome, you won’t be able to truly heal until you add this essential ingredient to your supplement regime.  Colostrum will heal these issues extremely quickly.

Many people don’t give any consideration to colostrum.  However, when you think about it, colostrum truly is an amazing substance.  All mammals produce colostrum during pregnancy.  Right after being born, baby mammals go directly to the nipple to get a dose of colostrum.  Antibodies to every disease a mother has been exposed to are in the colostrum.  Of course, friendly bacteria like acidophilus are also contained in this essential fluid.  When humans don’t get colostrum at birth, they are at a major disadvantage as their immune systems will be very weak.

So where does the colostrum that you can buy come from?  Most supplements you buy will be bovine colostrum.   You can buy this product in a powdered form and add it to nutritional shakes.  It is also available in capsule form.

Colostrum heals the gastrointestinal tract, as it has skin growth hormones in it.  Today, way too many people have gastrointestinal permeability problems, which can lead not only to digestive issues like colitis, diverticulitis, or leaky gut syndrome, but also allergies and conditions like diabetes.  There are no other substances on earth that can heal gastrointestinal permeability like colostrum can.  Therefore, it should be added to the leaky gut syndrome diet or supplement regime for gastrointestinal ailments.

The colostrum will also remove diseased bacteria from the gut.  It keeps viruses from entering our cells in the first place.  There are actually a long list of diseases that colostrum has shown to heal.  Further, it has even been shown to build up lean muscle mass as well.  As a result, many world-class athletes take colostrum supplements.

Once you start thinking about colostrum, it is clear that it is the most important food in the world.  It is also the most complete food on earth.  After all, it is the first food that most people have been given.  You can rebuild your digestive system rapidly and effectively when you take colostrum and probiotics together.

Permanently Healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Friday, April 22, 2011 1 Comment by Dr. Albert Snow

If you have inflammatory bowel disease, the good news is that with proper treatment from a naturopathic doctor, you can permanently repair your body.  The goal is to rebuild the “software” of your digestive system.  In this case, the word “software” refers to the mucosal lining- which lines & protects the intestines.  It is also essential to rebuild the intestinal walls which I call the “hardware.” This wall is made up of skin, fat and muscle. By using nutritional supplements that contain the ingredients of what the intestinal wall is made of-   a naturopathic doctor can permanently repair the hardware of your digestive system.

No matter if you have inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, leaky gut syndrome or Crohn’s disease, this information applies to you.  The longer you go without the proper treatment, the more damage will be done to your colon.  However, once you start to use naturopathic medicine to repair your body, you will find that you no longer need any sort of treatment in the long run.

One great thing about Holistic Gastroenterology is that there will be no need for constant medication for the rest of your life.  Once you are fixed, you are fixed.  That means that you will feel healthy and you will no longer spend time or money on things like IBS or Colitis treatments.   Naturopathic medicine only provides benefits – you will not experience any side effects like you are sure to with prescription medicine that would be given to you by a traditional gastroenterologist.

Your inflammatory bowel disease has been caused by medication that you took at some point in time prior to your symptoms showing up. This medication breeched the mucosal lining and, as a result, acid leaked through to erode the walls of your intestines.   As the acid eats away your vital tissue, symptoms like IBS, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease and Colitis result, leading to issues like diarrhea, blood in toilet, and bleeding rectums.

Drugs simply cannot rebuild human tissue.  A naturopathic doctor will assist you to rebuild your muscosal lining as well as the intestinal wall by using nutritional compounds that are both natural and organic.  Since these substances are natural, they can actually rebuild the tissue in your body rather than just covering up and masking symptoms.  Further, once your tissue is rebuilt, it will be as good as new.  The bottom line is that inflammatory bowel disease can only be effectively treated with naturopathic medicine.

Exploring Holistic Gastroenterology

Wednesday, April 20, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Oftentimes those who suffer from conditions like IBS, Colitis, Leaky Gut Syndrome or Crohn’s Disease, go directly to a doctor who practices traditional medicine and don’t even consider seeing a naturopathic physician.  However, the truth is that no matter how many traditional physicians you see, you will find that there is no effective medical treatment for any of the gastrointestinal ailments described above.  These doctors can endlessly offer you tests, screenings, and medications, but you will find that you are left with the same ailments.

The medications that will be prescribed to you may temporarily mask your symptoms.  This means that as long as you take the medicine, you may feel some temporary relief from issues like misc. Leaky Gut Syndrome symptoms, diarrhea, loose stools and blood in the toilet.  Yet, unfortunately, while you are taking this medicine, your problems will actually be getting worse.

So what is a Holistic Gastroenterologist and what exactly does this type of professional do?  First of all, it is important to note that a Holistic Gastroenterologist is indeed a naturopathic physician.  The goal of naturopathic treatments is to use natural remedies to fix your ailments.  This means that the remedies that you are given will actually heal your GI tissue instead of just covering up the symptoms.  Not only will you be able to stop taking medicine, but you will also avoid any type of gastro-intestial surgery.

When you find a good naturopathic physician, he or she will spend a lot of time listening to your symptoms and seeking to understand your ailments.  At this point, the doctor will have a good idea of whether you have a condition like leaky gut syndrome or perhaps it may appear that you have symptoms of Crohn’s Disease.

A Holistic Gastroenterologist and a traditional MD will have different viewpoints on a variety of issues. For example, if you have a diverticulitis attack, a regular doctor will have you consume lots of fiber.  However, in the view of a Holistic Gastroenterologist, fiber is actually a very bad food for diverticulitis.  In fact, an ideal diet for this ailment is a low fiber diet with no raw produce,  nuts, seeds or corn.  If the tissue in your GI tract is already inflamed, sending roughage through it will increase your symptoms.  A naturopathic physician will recommend that you wait a few months after you have healed to eat a high fiber diet without experiencing any side effects. Then you can eat whatever you want.

A Holistic Gastroenterologist will know that you are better when your symptoms have subsided. It’s all about the IBD symptoms- when they are gone- the problem is gone. That’s body language! As a result, you will save time, energy and money on diagnostic tests and screenings.  If you are seeking to heal your inflammatory bowel issues, this type of naturopathic physician will prove to be tremendously beneficial.

Colostrum – 2 Very Interesting Videos!

Monday, January 17, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Checkout out these two videos about Colostrum and you will understand just how indispensable this stuff is for the healing of your gastrointestinal tract and your overall health. I can’t reiterate enough times that Colostrum  must be part of the very specific protocol needed to recover from your Inflammatory Bowel Disease. If you’ve got IBS- Colitis-Ulcerative Colitis- Diverticulitis-Leaky Gut Syndrome- using this stuff along with the other components required by nature to rebuild a colon will restore your gastro-intestinal tract back to normal. You must have all the the “materials” needed to rebuild the colon ect- Colostrum is the “mortar” that will hold the other ingredients that make up the intestinal wall- the “bricks” together.

These two guys should inspire you to add Colostrum to your healing protocol.

*By the way I don’t know these guys & have never spoken to them- but I do know that they know what they’re talking about. I also have absolutely no connection to the products that they are talking about or their websites or whatever. I suggest that you watch these videos–extract the info that applies to you and ignore the rest.

A word about NSAIDs & Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Sunday, January 16, 2011 No Comments by Dr. Albert Snow

Most people are under the false belief that Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs cause Inflammatory Bowel Disease symptoms. Not so. Yes it is true that the use of drugs such as Aspirin- Ibuprofen & Naproxin can contribute to the inflammation of the gastro-intestinal tract- but they are not the cause- they are only the “secondary influence”. There is a pre-existing – primary cause of conditions such as IBS-Colitis-Ulcerative Colitis-Leaky Gut Syndrome- Crohn’s Disease & Diverticulitis. The actual cause of these conditions is the prior use of antibiotics which damage the mucosal lining that protects the gastro-intestinal tract. This then allows the NSAIDs as well as other “substances” to unnaturally make direct contact with this tender GI tissue. Let’s be completely clear about this-it is not about too much aspirin ect- but too little mucosal lining. Some people take these medications & seem to be “immune” to their influence and do not manifest any irritable bowel symptoms. This is explained by them not having had as many or as strong antibiotics as you did- so their mucosal lining is intact and able to do it’s job-protecting the intestinal tissue. To fall into the trap of  believing mis-information that says that it is NSAIDs causing your symptoms is distracting you from seeing the real cause & the real solution. In fact if you are struggling with the symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease- perhaps urgent diarrhea- pain- bloating- mucus & blood in the toilet- they are caused by your own stomach acids passing through the weakened mucosal lining- eating away at your colon. Again- not too much acid- (no such thing)- but instead- too little mucosal lining. There is no doubt that NSAIDs will contribute to this problem- but are surely not the cause. In fact these are the real causes/influences-primary & secondary- of  ALL of these Inflammatory Bowel Disease symptoms- not some of the other mysterious- hocus -pocus theoretical  auto-immune- syndrome bull shit that you are being told. Tell the people who espoused that foolishness- “Ok- if you know so much about it- then go ahead & fix it!” They can’t! I have had a 31 year challenge for someone to find even one person that a conventional medical doctor has healed of any Inflammatory Bowel Condition- they don’t exist! Did they fix you?
