Nutritional Certification Seminar with  

Natasha Campbell-McBride MD

 

During November, I had the great honor of studying with Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride, author of The Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS). She is a neurologist and nutritionist in Cambridge UK who has been helping over 100,000 people worldwide with her diet for neurological disorders, auto-immune conditions and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. With my new certification in this diet, I plan to hold groups and receive clients.

 

The goal of the GAPS diet is to heal, seal and seed the gut walls. The source of many of the inflammatory, auto-immune and neurological conditions is the condition of the intestines! The gut wall is damaged and gut flora is abnormal. Both have to be 'fixed' to heal from something seemingly unrelated like psoriasis, asthma, allergies or epilepsy. The list of conditions the diet affects is vast.

 

Sugar is the gateway food to the bulk of health issues. The GAPS diet removes the complex sugars such as grains, beans, starchy roots, lactose, and all processed foods and additives. The whole program also removes environmental toxins especially cleaning supplies and other chemical products in the home and work place.

 

The diet includes among other foods organic meats, fish, fermented dairy and vegetables, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, honey. The diet has 6 stages including ending the diet. What I appreciate in Campbell-McBride MD is her inclusion of the 'natural' in her program. Bathing and swimming in natural waters, getting out into the sunlight, getting on the earth and using old natural remedies.

 

I have a Facebook group for all those doing the GAPS or curious about the GAPS program. I plan to have monthly groups to provide a forum to educate and share the GAPS information. I'll be contacting people via our Facebook Group! Please be in touch if you would like to participate, volunteer or find out more information. Call 520-325-9686 or email intestines@sheilashea.com

Night Booming Cereus Cactus

 

What my clients eat and drink does affect their colonic. As you can well imagine, I have been watching the colonic viewing tube for 36 years. People ask me questions like, What is the weirdest thing you have ever seen come through the viewing tube? Do you see worms all the time? Some people think I can reconstruct the story of their life from what I see in the tube. Actually, I cannot!

 

The biggest event in the viewing tube from my perspective is the increased incidence of gas, bubbles and foam. Gas in excess and the bubbles and foam are all signs of 'microbial overgrowth.' Now what in heavens is that? I have that? Gosh, meet your microbes! Your intestines are filled with 1000's of varieties and species of virus, bacteria and fungi. Some are good and some are bad. 

 

Pathogenic microbes give off gases (and acids and other toxic metabolites)! The most active sign of overgrowth, perhaps attributable to a certain species, is a thick foam, like a beer or champagne head, that flows through the viewing tube floating on top. I spoke to a gastroenterologist who said that he sees that in endoscopy and pillcams of the small intestines. Sorry, sugar in one of its many guises is the culprit. Probiotics and fermented foods are called for.

 

Many clients come into the office and say they feel no gas. Fat or thin does not make any difference. When we start working, gas thunders out of them sometimes for 15-40 minutes. They feel greatly relieved. The gas has so stretched the gut walls they no longer perform as muscles. It is more like a stretched sack that fills up. Not good. Let's get back to core training and diets! Cleanse, remove the added sugars and grains, work out. If this is you, and you want to talk about a solution, call 520-325-9686 or email intestines@sheilashea.com
