Is his scientific explanation of this syndrome accurate, that it is caused by disruption of the gut lining by lectins, creating gaps that permit uptake of endotoxins and other microbial products that spread through the body and damage many tissues? Is this a significant source of inflammation?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities103 views0 answers0 votesIs Dr. Gundry missing a key factor in the consequences of Leaky Gut, that it can also enable uptake of dangerous chronic viruses?

It is well-established from prior studies that metformin in diabetics with chronic kidney disease can have life-threatening lactic acidosis, but that is assumed to be the result of an extreme build-up of metformin in the kidney as a result of the kidney disease preventing excretion of the drug. Is that a kind of misleading assumption, almost a red herring, that is actually a warning pointing to nephrotoxic potential of metformin with low-level exposure, as well as having a body-wide metabolic threat at higher concentrations?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Healing Modalities66 views0 answers0 votesIn reviewing the scientific literature on the beneficial effects of elderberry extracts, there is mention of improved glucose and insulin utilization.
