NEW HUMAN HEALTH
At the Cutting-Edge of Toxin Awareness & Super Nutrition
by Hugh Newman
(from 'Children of the New Earth' Magazine - October Edition 2006)
This months column is going to focus on the work of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. Her new book 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome – Natural treatment for Autism, Dyspraxia, ADD, Dyslexia, ADHD, Depression and Schizophrenia' is set to become a bestseller for parents who have children with any of these conditions. I saw her do a short talk at a nutrition conference where she was involved in the launch of a new advanced probiotic formula to the UK market (see bottom of page). As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning disabilities, she has become acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has been devoting her time to these families through The Cambridge Nutrition Clinic since 1998.
“The child's digestive system holds the key to the child's mental development”.
According to McBride, The underlying issue, which can manifest itself in different children with different combinations, resides in the gut. So disorders such as autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADD, allergies and eczema are what Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride calls 'Gut & Psychology Syndrome' or 'GAP Syndrome'. There is also another group under the same umbrella: Schizophrenia, depression, manic depression (bi-polar disorder) and obsessive compulsive disorder. The book describes the way she has developed her treatments with the underlying focus on the gut-brain connection. By looking at all these disorders and noticing that virtually all her clients also had digestive abnormalities, she discovered the connection. Father of modern psychiatry, French psychiatrist Phillipe Pinel (1745 – 1828) wrote in 1807 that “The primary seat of insanity is in the region of the stomach and intestines”.
Digestion problems often start when weaning or when breast feeding is stopped and infant formula has begun. These changes are mainly remembered in the second year, but parents often recall colic, vomiting (reflux) and other digestive symptoms from an earlier period. Early bloating and flatulence can cause severe pain in children, but is often not noticed or communicated especially by autistic children who seem to develop self-punishing habits as a reaction to the discomfort.
By looking at how the immune system becomes compromised with vaccinations and to the ignorant dietary habits based upon sugar and refined flours, the book encapsulates a stunning and convincing theory of why many of these disorders are manifesting in modern society. By looking at the bigger picture it is clear that eating habits, farming methods and lifestyle changes over the last few decades are behind the cause of many mental disorders and learning difficulties.
Allergens in wheat and dairy are contenders for the 'worst' food we can eat because of the way that they get through the gut wall and into the bloodstream, especially if the gut flora is not able to do its job. These allergens are often found in these children and are linked to poor brain and immune functioning and are a precursor to many of these issues.
Beneficial bacteria in the gut has many important roles. It maintains the health and integrity of the gut, protects from unwanted bacterial invaders, modulates the immune system and helps deal with toxins and heavy metals. If it is not in a good balance, the problems start to occur. Antibiotics, drugs, the contraceptive pill, sugar, refined foods, pollution, dental work, alcohol, disease and bottle feeding are all responsible for damaging gut flora.
In the 1960's and 70's breast feeding was unfashionable and many children have had to suffer the consequences. Breast feeding establishes gut flora for life and enhances the immune system to a high degree. Babies are born with a sterile gut, so breast-feeding is the natural way for the gut to become populated with the best bacteria in the correct amounts. Bottle-fed babies guts are populated by unnatural bacteria in the wrong amounts which can lead to digestive issues later in life.
Beneficial bacteria in the gut produces essential nutrients such as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B12, Biotin and Vitamin K. It also keeps the gut wall strong so allergens cannot get through and it helps nutrient absorption from foods and supplements. Many people who take supplements cannot absorb them because of gut flora abnormalities. The importance of probiotics in McBride's research is overwhelming. This is why she helped develop a supplement that was able to help with these conditions. She told us "Probiotic bacteria are essential in order to help people with all sorts of health problems: children with learning disabilities, adults with depression and other psychological conditions, people with digestive and immune system disorders, patients with ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, MS and other neurological conditions. The list can go on. I see excellent results in my clinic every day."
This new supplement contains a staggering 2.88 billion viable* cells per capsule. Thats 8 billion per gram. The ingredients include five strains of beneficial bacteria – L.Acidophilus, L. Plantarum, L. Rhamnosus, B. Bifidum and B. Longum. It also contains Saccharomyces boulardii - this yeast strain can help keep the digestive tract clear and is particularly beneficial to sufferers of diarrhoea and candida.. L-glutamine - an amino acid that helps protect the gastrointestinal tract and is the perfect accompaniment to probiotic cultures.
Natures Scienceutical advanced Probiotic is available from www.newhuman.co.uk and for a limited time has a 20% discount.
