This is fairly involved, and I have learned it because my gut processes were killed off from a child by added sugar in everything we eat, and I ended up with the immune system cracking up and giving me a blood vessel inflammation disease. When microscopic blood vessel inflame the blood flow reduces to minimal or in most cases zero...this gives you excruciating pain 24hrs day, and zero energy.
This eventually put me on chemo for about 6 out of the last 9 years. They gave me 3-5 to live years back then.
There was, and supposedly, still is no cure. I dont believe that is the case. Every time the chemo started to kill me, literally, I stopped taking it. (The hair turning snow white and falling out stage... 5 different chemos....)
I was abused by more than one doctor for doing so! The drugs they had me on were $100 / dose 3 times a day. I wonder why they were upset?
Once I got my head straight from drugs they had me on, (5 months to get off them)..I studied nutrition and the gut for years.
The main issue is that owing to the fact that most food we consume is crap ie nutrient deficient it appears that the gut doesn't always get the nutrition it needs to produce the amount (of lots of things) it needs to thrive. eg amino acids among others. I now grow as much of my food as I can, to get nutrient dense vegetables, fruit and nuts.
As I mentioned in the post above NAC is a natural amino acid produced by the healthy gut to break down food consumed to be used by system.
The practical proof of this is that body builders use it to ensure that all food that they consume is converted into usable energy and nothing is stored as fat. Obviously they dont want the fat.
I was looking for a supply of NAC in late 2020 because the disease had got into my lungs and they were preparing me for the fact that they were going to start removing lobes off my lungs as they were being destroyed, but couldn't I get NAC any anywhere.
Many phone calls later the company mentioned above pointed out what they used it for and the fact that it was in fact, needed in the lungs and it was stopping the damage being done by the c vid bs of the time. Needless to say I still have a full set of lung lobes, so far.
I could write a book on this whole saga but, Happy to answer follow up questions.
I couldn't help but wonder why the medical system had 3500 different drugs ready to go but the body only needs a handful of vitamins and about 70 minerals to work with, so I went from there
One valuable thing I would add is have a hair sample done (via a naturapath) at least once per year and supplement the things that you are deficient in. eg phosphorus potassium, boron etc. then let the body repair itself. These things are deficient in the soil and therefore, in the food we buy.
Trying to get the medical profession to do the necessary testing is extremely difficult. I guess it is the last thing they want you to know!
I was lucky and found a doctor who was interested in vitamin D. which doesn't come from the sun by the way....
Along the way a respected doctor who felt sorry for me and respected what I was trying to do for myself, told me that if there was no such thing as added glucose they would relinquish the biggest % of their income....wtf...
good luck.
