Leaky gut is when the intestines absorb bacteria, toxins, and undigested food into the bloodstream.
Once in the bloodstream, these materials trigger inflammation and abnormal immune responses.
Leaky gut has been linked to a number of health problems like Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, and virtually every autoimmune disease.
If you suffer with any of those conditions, a good treatment plan must address leaky gut.
Pioneering researcher and medical doctor Dr. Alessio Fasano published a landmark paper in 2012 detailing the the integral link between leaky gut and autoimmune disease.
The paper boldly suggests that autoimmune disease cannot exist without leaky gut.
Normally, a primary job of the intestines is to block the absorption of larger material. It becomes “leaky” by absorbing bigger proteins than it should allow in the blood.
Once in the bloodstream, these materials invite immune reactions. Along the way, the body starts mistaking healthy tissues as enemies too.
This “autoimmunity” can target any tissue in the body.
The thyroid? Hashimoto’s or Graves’ thyroiditis.
The joints? Rheumatoid arthritis.
The gut? Celiac disease or Ulcerative colitis.
The pancreas? Type I Diabetes
Connective tissue? Scleroderma
Red blood cells? Hemolytic anemia
So while autoimmune diseases are characterized by the types of tissues the body is attacking – these attacks start by leaky gut.
This means that an autoimmune thyroid condition is not a thyroid problem. Rheumatoid arthritis is not a joint problem. Autoimmunity to ANY tissue is not a problem with that tissue
Autoimmunity is an IMMUNE problem mediated by GUT HEALTH. To manage autoimmune disease successfully – fix leaky gut.
How to Manage Leaky Gut
Some genetic factors like HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 can increase your risk for leaky gut; yet, ultimately those who carry leaky gut markers are just more easily triggered by lifestyle factors.
Lifestyle factors for leaky gut include.
Stress
Food intolerance (wheat, dairy, corn, etc)
Sugar
Alcohol
Drugs (especially NSAIDs and PPIs)
Infections (bacterial, yeast, fungal, viral and parasitic).
Imbalance of Gut Flora, Small Intestinal Bowel Overgrowth/Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth
Other triggers like radiation exposure, poor sleep, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and overexercise.
To heal leaky gut, simply follow the bullets above like a roadmap.
Manage stress, limit alcohol and sugar, eat a diverse, nutrient-dense, and low-allergy diet, sleep selfishly, and protect those friendly microbes in your gut!

(Natural News) As yet more proof that the CDC functions as little more than an extension of the corrupt vaccine industry, CDC director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald was forced to resign yesterday following a that exposed her ownership of shares of Big Tobacco companies as well as Merck, a prominent vaccine manufacturer whose products are promoted by the CDC.
The gross conflict of interest didn’t stop there, either: Fitzgerald also purchased shares of junk food companies and a tobacco corporation, according to media reports, all while she was serving as director of the CDC. “Documents revealed Fitzgerald had holdings in Reynolds American, British American Tobacco, Imperial Brands, Philip Morris International, and Altria Group,” reports CNBC.
“Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald had also invested money in food and pharmaceutical companies just one month after taking over the job,” reports the UK Daily Mail.
Yes, the head of the CDC bought tobacco stocks and Big Pharma stocks, even when her own decisions at the CDC were neck-deep in gross conflicts of interest related to public health.(The CDC studies and reports on death and disease related to smoking. The corrupt agency also promotes pro-vaccine propaganda while burying all science that reveals vaccine injuries or adverse events.)
The CDC is in bed with junk food companies, vaccine manufacturers and Big Tobacco
This pattern of corruption and collusion is no surprise, given that the director of the CDC’s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention was caught pushing pseudoscience nonsense that favored Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. The CDC, it turns out, is in bed with junk food companies, tobacco companies and vaccine manufacturers… all while claiming to be working in the interests of “public health.”
As further proof of that, CNBC reports:
Along with her Japan Tobacco purchases, documents confirm Fitzgerald also bought thousands of dollars of shares in several health-care companies, including Merck & Co, Bayer and Humana, which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deemed a conflict of interest…
In other words, the head of the CDC stood to profit from vaccines, medications, tobacco use and “disease profits” reaped by health care companies.
Both Merck and Bayer have a pattern of wreaking havoc on human health while striving to bury the evidence. Merck, for example, manufactures the top-selling but devastating Gardasil vaccine and used statistical gimmicks and other deceptive tactics to conceal Gardasil’s risks. Whistleblowers also have accused Merck of falsifying its mumps vaccine data. Bayer, too, has a track record of “scandal and marketing fraud,” having once paid out millions to the U.S. government in a medical fraud settlement after admitting to overcharging for Bayer’s antibiotic Cipro. Bayer also settled tens of millions after having persisted in selling contaminated blood products to hemophiliacs. At present, Bayer is poised to close a “mega-deal” to merge with Monsanto, which manufactures the glyphosate-containing herbicide RoundUp—both glyphosate and RoundUp’s other ingredients have been shown to be highly toxic.
As this video explains, the CDC actually owns 56 vaccines and profits from pro-vaccine propaganda:
Natural News vindicated yet again for accurately claiming the CDC is tied to vaccine makers
If you’ve ever wondered how the CDC can afford to do all that it does, look no further than the CDC Foundation. The organization describes itself as some kind of liaison between the CDC and the private sector, existing solely for public benefit, but a quick look at their list of corporate partners reveals a much more sordid story; a story of fake science that is being propagated for industry benefit. While studying the rather lengthy list of corporate donors — who also sometimes collaborate with the CDC on their project — one might notice that many of them are pharma companies, pesticide makers, and biotech firms.
When one considers the apparent ties the CDC has to Merck — and countless other corporations — it honestly raises doubts for just about anything the federal agency has put their stamp on.
The CDC has its own lengthy history of corruption and deceit and has routinely turned a blind eye to conflicts of interest while it works to “protect the private good.” Although the agency owns 56 patents applicable to vaccines, it has no problem shredding vaccine safety data it doesn’t like, while continuing to serve as the nation’s powerful (and ostensibly “independent”) arbiter of vaccine policy. Julie Gerberding, the doctor who led the CDC from 2002 to 2009 (the time period when the Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil without proper safety testing), left CDC to become president of Merck Vaccines and subsequently became Merck’s executive vice president for global strategic communications. Gerberding has benefited handsomely from her shares of Merck stock.
Thus, Brenda Fitzgerald’s personal financial stake in companies such as Merck and Bayer only illustrates, in microcosm, the CDC’s longstanding willingness to cozy up to Big Pharma and Big Health Care in defiance of ethics rules.
CDC corruption and collusion with death-causing corporations is now an established fact
With Dr. Fitzgerald’s sudden resignation and credibility implosion, we now have irrefutable proof that top CDC personnel have financial conflicts of interest with with vaccine companies, Big Pharma companies and even junk food companies.This is now an established fact, widely reported across most of the media. (Natural News told you this years ago…)
Watch the CDC lie to Congress about “vaccine safety” in this eye-opening video:

And these are the very folks in power over all things Lyme/MSIDS.Frightening indeed.
After publishing the 2013 article ‘A simple method for the detection of live Borrelia spirochetes in human blood using classical microscopy techniques’, professor Laane was invited to give a lecture at the 2014 Norvect conference in Oslo. I was present at that conference and still remember how nervous he was. The reason was that several medical professors complained to his university. He was threatened with losing his job, if he would speak at the conference.In fact, he did not literally speak – as you can see in the movie below – but used performing arts to show the slides of the spirochetes. Professor Laane was fired anyway and his laboratory was closed down.
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/10/06/remembering-dr-masters-the-rebel-for-lyme-patients-who-took-on-the-cdc-single-handedly/Masters went over the charts with a fine tooth comb and found huge CDC errors. Another contentious point was the arbitrary cut off date imposed by the CDC which did not pick up serious late-stage symptoms. Another was the CDC’s rejection of many positive blood tests performed in its own lab, as well as other lab work showing “motile spirochetes” in nearly 5% of lone star nymphs. Long story short, after numerous revisions, Masters could never sign onto the bastardized study. The CDC had purposely tossed out data and manipulated the results.
The CDC essentially tried blackmailing Masters into signing off on the study before they would let him see the final draft. Refusing the bait, he published a letter of objection in the Journal of Infectious Diseases as well as an article of his own in Missouri Medicine which showed Missouri patients met the CDC surveillance definition for LD and growing evidence that lone star ticks were infected with an unidentified spirochete causing identical symptoms of LD in patients. When the CDC study came out they unbelievably attributed the rashes they labeled STARI to an allergy to tick saliva! In the acknowledgment section of the paper where dozens of folks were thanked, they completely omitted the man who made it all possible – Dr. Ed Masters.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/12/02/still-a-pig-with-lipstick-cdc-removes-link-to-idsa-guidelines/And you’ll notice that for information about “chronic Lyme disease” and long-term treatment, the CDC page kicks you to the National Institutes of Health website. If you follow the link, you’ll find the same-old, same-old tripe about how long-term treatment doesn’t help, etc. (Based on three statistically puny studies of “chronic Lyme” the NIH funded years ago.) Perhaps the CDC is trying to make its ties to the IDSA less glaringly obvious.
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/10/12/the-cdc-needs-a-good-dictionary/ The statement “this disease does not occur nationwide” is inaccurate.According to CDC surveillance reports, Lyme disease has been reported in every U.S. state except Hawaii, and the black-legged tick that transmits Lyme disease has been found in 45 percent of U.S. counties.
“As a result of their speaking out, from 1997 to 2000, more than 50 physicians in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan, Oregon, Rhode Island and Texas were investigated, disciplined or had had their licenses removed. Many of these doctors were reported to their medical boards by the insurance defendants,” the complaint states. The insurers also allegedly reported doctors who were treating chronic Lyme disease to state medical boards, leading many doctors to refuse to treat Lyme disease patients.”
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/09/07/20268/LYMErix did not produce antibodies. It is a fungal antigen. It activates latent herpesviruses, which are basically the main drivers of the MS and Lupus outcomes. And OspA-induced tolerance to similar TLR2-agonists causing the ALS and Chronic Fatigue outcomes (mycoplasma bear OspA-like antigens). LYMErix vaccine (and the Tuberculosis vaccines) all failed because they caused immunosuppression, no antibodies, and they made the victims more susceptible to other infections.
