#GAPS DIET NATASHA CAMPBELL-McBRIDE DISCUSSES GAPS/IMMUNITY - GUT/BRAIN/BODY CONNECTION *EXCELLENT AUDIO*

I'm a HUGE fan of this woman, Natasha Campbell-McBride, the creator of the GAPS Diet - Gut and Psychology Syndrome/ Gut and Physiology Syndrome.  She is so smart and has helped so many people get their health back.  Essentially, Dr. Campbell-McBride and GAPS focuses on the health of our gut/digestive system.  The majority of our immune system is in our gut and is THE MOST important when looking at many diseases. Getting our gut flora balanced is necessary for healing an array of conditions.. Some conditions - Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Crohn's, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Depression  

In this audio, Dr. Mercola interviews Dr. Natasha on immunity and GAPS.  She explains why our digestive system, and the health of it, will have a direct effect on our overall health.  It's very easy to understand and the diet itself is not complicated either.  Listen to how logical her theory behind the connection between our gut and brain/body is.  It's almost common sense!  She also talks about fermentation and why our body needs fermented foods (not commercially fermented foods btw) to stay balanced to achieve healing of the body and to maintain health.  

I love her... Listen to her last words of wisdom!        THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INCURABLE ILLNESS.            THERE IS NO DISEASE THAT THE BODY CANNOT HEAL.  SHE'S RIGHT ON THE MONEY! $$$$$$$MONEY$$$$$$$$

*Videos* - Interview w/ Dr. Bihari about LDN - History of LDN

Want to know about LDN ....or  should I say.. Do you want to know MORE about LDN.?  By now, you should know the basics and then some if you have been reading my blogs that I've posted  about the treatment 

If you haven't watched anything or read anything about LDN, this is the one to watch. The doctor  answers a lot of questions and talks about how the drug works.  You'll understand it.   

Harvard-educated Bernard Bihari, MD is interviewed about his life, and his discovery of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for autoimmune diseases: multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease; also HIV/AIDS and some cancers. This video was given to me by Dr. Bihari's widow, Jacqueline Young.

The video is below.  The interviewer isn't that great cause you can't hear him to well.  Despite that, the Dr. is easy to understand and follow.   This is a long video  (fyi), not all may be interested if you don't care about knowing how the drug works to treat different diseases .  I watched the whole thing because I like such action packed videos.  lol  Im such a nerd!  

I wanted to hear what the man had to say about his advancements  that he discovered through his lifetime.  He's freaking awesome.  He speaks a lot about the research he was working on before he passed away which was HIV/AIDS and cancer and how LDN really is helpful with regulating the immune system .  But he's talking about the body and how the endorphins in the body effect the immune system/response.  He touches on the following points that you may be interested in watching 

I'm glad I watched this because I have a better understanding of how the medicine works in the body and helps balance/regulate the immune system.  His theory suggests that people with cancer, aids, autoimmune diseases have a lower than normal amt of endorphins in the body.  Its all about increasing the body's endorphins!

11:40 - talks about the improvement in AIDS patients with taking ldn, also talks about cancer patients

16:10 - He speaks about LDN and the endorphins. 

18:45 - cell death (cancer cells)caused by endorphins 

**20:19 - 23:00 ** I would def watch this part.  good explaining about the importance of endorphins more about how ldn works in the body (cancer patients... speaks about low endorphins  and how LDN raises the level of endorphins in the body) 

51:10 - the different endorphin receptors and what they effect in the body. interesting 

 He says around 30K-40K people take LDN.  

& Here it is...LISTEN --->  57:09 - 100:20 Touches on Autoimmune Diseases FINALLY.  My undertsanding of how this works goes like this I think.    -   .our t-helper cells get out of wack and get impaired  some how... (probably by a bacteria,  that throws it off) that therefore effects our killer cells & macrophages which get confused with the self vs the bacteria/fungus.  They get confused and attack own tissue/cells and not the foreign bacteria.  From what he says I think the LDN enhances the functioing of the t-cells by increasing the endorphin levels, the endorphins then regulate immune response

101:13 - the amount it costs to run clinical trials for LDN for each condition.  not sure if  he said 15 or 50 million for the 1st 3 trials.  He says that finding a drug company that would want to run the trials,  work w/ FDA, ability to manufacturer , distribute and then advertise is difficult.  

1:04:40 -  talked about low toxicity rate... it doesn't exist.  That's so bomb!, the cost (super cheap)..  Those aspects are probably the main reason LDN will never get approved to treat any other condition..  There's no money to make with this medicine, what would be the incentive.... to make people better... Yeah ok!! LOL  Guess doctors will just have to continue to write it as "off label use".
