Back in 1992, Dr. Michael Gershon, chairman of the department of anatomy and cell biology of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Centre discovered a network of neurotransmitters in the gut that act in a similar way to neurons and he christened it 'the second brain'.
Since then a huge amount of research has found that all manner of modern day illnesses link back to disturbances in the digestive system.
These include joint and muscle pain and autoimmune diseases including Motor Neurone Disease aka ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Dr. Alan Ebringer of the Middlesex Hospital here in London has linked Ankylosing Spondylitis, which is a painful arthritis disease resulting in the stiffening of joints, with a form of bacteria that lives in the bowel and feeds off carbohydrate residue.
And patients found that by cutting their intake of carbs to a much lower level, their conditions were greatly improved and in some cases, resolved.
Diarrhoea suffers are found to have a bacterial overgrowth in their gut, the bacteria alter the metabolic and immune responses of the body and they turn against the normal gut flora and this is an early indication of a condition known as a 'leaky gut'.
NSAID stands for non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug.
As well as being intolerant of certain types of food, caffeine and alcohol, even short term usage of these drugs can cause damage to your gut and long term usage is harmful and is responsible for leaving the gut very inflamed and permeable.
If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that she reads a lot.. and not just novels, travel books or biographies.
A book which is beyond scary is 'The Case Against Sugar', yes, I have mentioned it before but it is worth mentioning it again.
For this one simple fact.
That, unless they have stopped adding it very recently, American cigarettes contain sugar. And it is the sugar that, together with the smoke, creates tar in your lungs and nasal passages which leads to lung cancer.
Today is a dreary day, she's brewing a head cold which 'ticks' her off no end.. she coughed a lot yesterday afternoon and today.. her throat is sore, she's coughing and sneezing. Drat.. BIG drat.
She planned to go to Audiology today to have her left ear tested for her new hearing aid but with a head cold and catarrh, there is absolutely no point in even thinking about going to the hospital.
And she forgot to get pan scourers yesterday.. so she has to go out as there are a couple of pans that are clean but need a good scrub with a Brillo pad.
Yes, she's like a Magpie.. she likes shiny things!
