Alternative Medicine/intestinal permeability test
Expert: Imran R. - 10/5/2006
QuestionDear Imran, I have just received back my results and are as follows:-
lactulose recovery 0.56*H % <0.30 REF RANGE
mannitol recovery 19.3% 9.5-25.0 "
lactulose-mannitol ratio 0.029 <0.035 "
6 hour collection 0.400 litres
How would you interpret these results LGS ?
A recent IgG 93 FOOD SENSITIVITY PANEL showed 17 mild to very stong positive results to different foods.
A recent gastroscopy discovered gastritis and duodentis but all the mainstream gastro wants to do is prescibe losec whereas I think I probably have low acid(how could i confirm this) and that food sensitivities and allergies are probably causing inflamation not the high acid that he thinks.
What are your thoughts and how would you takle this?
I'm sick of being told it is all in the mind even though I have had many health issues which I believe probably have a root cause.
Yours thankfully JohnMartin Melbourne Australia
AnswerDear John,
Thank you for your letter.
To begin with i must tell you that i am not permitted to analyze or comment on medical results as i am not a licensed physician.
However, i can advise you on a protocol that will normalize your health, based on what you have currently written.
First we must address diet:
Cut out all soy products except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy sauce are healthy. [fermented]
Soy contains goitrogens, which depress thyroid functions. It also contains phytic acid, which hinders the body's ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general, it is an enzyme inhibitor.
Make sure to avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.
Splenda/sucralose has become very popular these days and is just as bad, if not worse than aspartame. These sweeteners are all very toxic and are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc.
Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.
Both soy and artificial sweeteners weaken the immune system. The immune system is one of the keys to healing illness. Therefore, the more we can support immune related health the better.
Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils. These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.
7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered.
Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.
Vaccines:
This is a subject that most do not pay enough attention to. It is a fact that not one single vaccine ever created has been safe for the human body; this has been proven time and time again by doctors of natural science, and now also by medical doctors and physicians, stating that vaccines actually do much more harm to the body than good.
It is a large subject and too much to get into through this response, but i ask that you do some research on Google: "dangers of vaccinations". You can search for vaccine information at this site also: www.mercola.com
Medical comments on vaccines are found here:

Supplementation:
In your case the first thing we need to start with regenerating your immune functions. Your symptomology points to this.
There is a new product i would advise you use, it is a recent discovery in immune biotechnology.
The product is a natural peptide composition that has by far surpassed all other immune fortifying products we have ever found. There is nothing at all that comes close to its regenerative functions.
If you would like to read up on this, i will send you the info by word document, as we have no website currently with the info posted.
Email me here: second-sun@shaw.ca
Please add, "Peptides info needed" in the subject heading.
With best wishes,
Imran
