I agree with your general point, I just don't agree with that GAPS crap. Saying every disease is contracted through the stomach is absurd to me. You don't/won't offend me either man. No worries. Not being sarcastic either, you can speak your mind.
Yes, that statement is ridiculous. Not every disease is contracted via the digestive system. However, having a dysfunctional digestive system can cause a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that the American Medical Industry doesn't trace these diseases back to their roots, and instead treats the symptoms with pharmaceuticals that cause new problem or even exacerbate the root cause.
Like the cholesterol myth. Quite frankly, I want high cholesterol... that's a really good thing that helps in brain function. However, I also want healthy T4-T3-T2 hormone conversion and adoption, so that my body can properly process the cholesterol and I don't end up with plaque on my arteries. So, instead of giving me statins to lower my cholesterol, Docs should be looking at what's blocking my T-hormone uptake or my Thyroid function. But try having that conversation with anyone in this medical industry.
By the way, just so you know, Fluoride, Chlorine and Bromine destroy thyroid function. Now do you understand why your drinking water is fluoridated, your pool and your bath water chlorinated, and the flour in all of your baked good bromated. It didn't used to be this way.
And any wonder that an x-con, who ran the Penny stock scam in the 80's
milking millions of Americans out of their savings, was the main marketing force behind the adoption of Soy based foods into the American diet - with soy dramatically increasing estrogen levels in both women and men (hey, wanna grow tits and watch your ball shrivel up). But the real killer is that estrogen is one of the primary hormones that blocks T-hormone uptake, and therefore screws with your thyroid's ability to control your entire endocrine system, resulting in all sorts of problems, like cholesterol causing plaque buildup which leads to heart disease (no wonder we're seeing such a dramatic rise in heart disease). Again, trying having this convo with an American trained doc who has had absolutely no education into the correlation between nutrition and human health.
For under $150 you can get your thyroid tested by a certified lab and you'll learn for yourself just how much you've been poisoned. Insurance companies won't pay for the test - I guess they don't want you to be able to find out.
