When the body becomes overwhelmed with toxins it can't handle, it becomes a raging fire on a path of self-destruction. The body then views any additional chemical exposures (prescription and over-the-counter drugs, environmental exposures, mold, etc.) as enemies, and thus the birth of allergic reactions.

This is not to imply that chemical allergens are not the smoking gun of allergic reaction, only that in order to reverse their effects once the trigger is pulled and the would is inflicted, the body's detoxification pathways must be cleansed and supported for the repair process to proceed.

Colon hydrotherapy, along with specialized blends of herbal colon cleansing products, is the best way to detoxify accumulated toxic colonic plaque and facilitate the repair of the immune system. Properly administered, colon hydrotherapy is not addictive but therapeutic; it encourages the restoration of the colon's natural function by strengthening peristalsis. With colon hydrotherapy, the entire large intestine is cleansed and the therapeutic benefits are much greater than those achieved with an enema. Enema cleansing is effective in the rectum area and, due to the body's natural desire to expel, is limited in duration. During a typical colon hydrotherapy session, approximately 25 to 35 gallons of water are transported into and out of the colon. Just one professional therapy session could equal 20 or 30 regular bowel movements - it's no wonder the body becomes reactive to everything!

This system of cleansing must be monitored by a health care professional and continued for a significant amount of time, until the body can repair and the overall toxic load is significantly reduced so the individual becomes less reactive.

Aiming for the exact cause of MARS is like "shooting rubber bands at the moon." The causes are many - a single toxic exposure (mold, pesticides, insecticides, prescription medications etc.) accumulated exposures (toxic dental restorations, repeated use of antibiotics, long-term use of food preservatives and additives, new building syndrome, chronic constipation etc.), health-depleting dietary habits (processed foods, diet high in simple carbohydrates and sugars, excessive drinking, diet low in fiber etc.).

Recap:

1. Leaky gut syndrome (LGS) is a condition of autointoxication
2. Multiple Allergic Response Syndrome (MARS) is a condition where an individual becomes highly allergic to substances that were not previously reactive - a result of the overall toxic load exceeding the body's ability to neutralize.
3. The large intestine (colon) must be cleansed of toxic matter before the repair process can begin.
4. The small intestine must be supported with nutrients such as L-Glutamine to assist in repairing damaged mucosal lining. This can be accomplished by using a functional food (formerly called medical food) which will additionally support phase one and two of liver detoxification. This is especially helpful for those who have a limited diet due to being overly reactive.
5. The lymph system must be gently stimulated in order to avoid blockage due to cellular debris. 6. Environmental modifications must be made to address anything that is adding to the overall toxic load (cleaning chemicals, mole, personal care products, laundry products, floor coverings and furniture etc.).
