Chew
food properly so that your digestive system has an
easier time breaking down foods.
Try
a food rotation
plan (under the supervision of a qualified nutritionist)
to identify the culprits causing allergic reactions.
Always
carry
food with you so that wherever you go,
you will always have a healthy snack to hand.

- Reduce
your intake of medications (if
you can) that
may be contributing to Leaky Gut Syndrome (please note, you should
always check with your doctor before altering your medication
dosage, do not go against your doctors advice if you are on medication
for a certain condition).
- Use
natural,
organic cleaning products, bath products and cosmetics.
Many normal products
on the shelves contain dangerous ingredients, for instance Sodium
Lauryl Sulphate used in many bath and shower products first had
it's outing as an industrial degreasant and garage floor cleaner.
Bearing in mind that our body is said to absorb 60% of the creams,
lotions and potions we rub into it on a daily basis we have to
be careful what products we use.
Like any detergent Sodium
Lauryl Sulphate attacks grease to help keep surfaces clean but
the skin secretes oil to keep itself protected, supple and waterproof.
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate strips away the skins oil causing dryness
and in some cases much worse. A study referenced in the Wall Street
Journal (November 1, 1988) linked SLS to cataracts and nitrate
absorption (nitrates are carcinogens-or cancer causing substances).
Many products also contain alcohol, parabens and other chemicals,
which can cause allergic reactions or worse.
- Eat
small, frequent meals.
- Only
eat when you are hungry.
- Take up something that helps you deal with stress and aids relaxation: such as meditation, Reiki, Qi Gong, Yoga. Make sure that any exercise you do is gentle.
- Dry skin brushing helps to cleanse the lymphatic system. Dr Gilbere says to brush before taking a bath or shower, always brushing towards the centre of your body with one clean sweep for every part of your body.
- Try Colonic Hydrotherapy, which dislodges putrified waste from the colon walls.
- Coffee enemas are said to cleanse the liver and have been used as a detoxification method for many years. The Gerson Therapy uses coffee enemas several times a day on a daily basis to rid the body of toxins. Please contact a professional Gerson practitioner or other health practitioner who knows how the enemas should be administered before attempting to do it yourself.
- Get plenty of sleep. It has been said that most adults require between 8-9 hours sleep a night and many people get less than this. It has been demonstrated that lack of sleep can result in: a drop in body temperature, a weakening of the immune system (low white blood cell count) and a drop in the production of growth hormone. [1] Also , even if you don't feel tired try to go to bed at least before 11pm.
