Most people want a linear answer when it comes to answers about their autoimmune illness or other health challenge. I'd say that a majority of the time when it comes to chronic illness, the solution is more like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
What would you do if you had a LARGE unsightly collection of callous laden warts on the bottom of your right foot, autoimmune attack of your gut, gluten sensitivity and a family history of many autoimmune diseases like Parkinson's disease and rheumatoid arthritis?

Like most doctors, the most common complaint among patients seeking my care is chronic fatigue. Often the fatigue is described as a vague complaint with low energy, lack of motivation and inability to do more than absolutely what has to be done. Other times the fatigue causes the patient to become irritable and lash out verbally to those closest to them (with subsequent remorse and unfortunately harmed relationships).

Leaky Gut Syndrome, also known as LGS or increaesd intestinal permeability is a major overlooked cause of autoimmune attack and chronic illness. Did you know that during a typical lifespan 60 tons of food pass through the intestinal tract? Of course, along with food there are also bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and other irritants that pass through the GI tract as well.
