“leaky gut is when food particles slip out of the intestinal walls and head into the bloodstream. When this occurs, the body recognizes the food particles as foreign matter and then creates an immunological response”
“leaky gut might show up in the following ways: things like inflammation, malabsorption of essential nutrients, transfer of toxins to the brain, which results in poor concentration, poor memory, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues”
“In 2002, a study was done to show the connection between food intolerances and depression. The study concluded that, the patient’s symptoms of depression considerably improved on an elimination diet.”
“The adderral ratio on parent responses on who got better compared to who got worse, was 0.7–1. What that means is that for every 0.7 children who got better, 1 child got worse using Adderall… more children got worse when using Adderall.”
“parents who implemented a gluten-free and dairy-free diet for their children, showed a 24–1 ratio. That means that for ever 24 kids that got better, only 1 child got worse”
“It’s time for something to change. It’s time for the first line of treatment to be food, rather than a prescription that has a 50% of making it worse”
