This is due to dysbiosis, an imbalance in bacterial composition. This includes the loss of “good” bacteria, leading to overgrowth of pathogenic bugs like fungus and “bad” bacteria. The mucosa of the gut is often inflamed as well, contributing to leaky gut.
Sometimes antibiotics are needed, in which case a protocol can be started to repair.
An antifungal may be necessary if there is overgrowth, this can include: Pau D’arco, caprylic acid, black walnut, cloves, garlic, oregano oil, or grapefruit seed extract.
Colostrum is packed with antibodies to neutralize “bad” bacteria. Probiotics add necessary “good” bacteria back to the biome.
Mucilagens like slippery elm or marshmallow can soothe and restore the mucosa.
L glutamine, an amino acid, can help to rebuild the mucosa and seal leaky gut.

Schizandra is known as the “five flavour berry” because it encompasses all 5 flavours. In natural medicine, the flavour of an herb will tell you its action in the body:
Bitterness- cools, stimulates and detoxifies
Spiciness- warms and aids in circulation
Saltiness- brings minerals and flushes the body
Sourness- stimulates digestion
Sweetness- boosts energy
Because Schizandra contains all 5, it’s the ultimate balancer for the body.
It contains liver protective and regenerative properties and can be taken long term.
It has antiviral properties and is often used in conjunction with other herbs to kill Epstein Barr virus.
It calms anxiety, keeping you from burning out, while increasing energy without stimulation.
It is known to boost athletic performance, in fact hunters in Siberia are known to use the berries during long treks to keep their energy high, improve night vision, and reduce hunger.

A study published in Nature’s Neuroscience revealed that pregnant women experience a decrease in grey matter in brain regions responsible for social cognition. This loss of grey matter actually enhances a mother’s feelings of attachment to her baby and improves her ability to understand non verbal cues from newborns.
This change enables mothers to quickly identify potential dangers to her baby.
The cells in the brain reduce in size without reducing in number, so neuron density stays the same, allowing the brain to return to normal size after about 6 months.
Our bodies are amazing!

A common reason for histamine intolerance and MCA’s is a deficiency in the DAO enzyme (diamine oxidase). Women tend to be more vulnerable to histamine, and it plays a major role in how they feel with hormone fluctuations, a leading cause in issues like PMDD and major mood swings and period pain.
Those with low DAO will benefit from supplements that activate the enzyme.
Vitamin C- solely responsible for reducing histamine intolerance the body, it functions as a cofactor for DAO.
Vitamin B6- another cofactor to DAO, an inadequate supply will lead to DAO deficiency.
Magnesium- accelerated the rate at which the body breaks down histamine
Copper- essential to DAO function, low levels will degrade DAO production. Copper deficiency also leads to anemia, osteoporosis, and low neutrophils.
Some causes of DAO deficiency:
Genetic variations
High levels of glutamate (often in those with schizophrenia and bipolar disorders)
Stress
Leaky gut
Hormone imbalance
SIBO
Gut dysbiosis
Medications
Alcohol

Goji berries have been used as medicine since 200 b.c. Thought to be an elixir of youth, legend tells of a village where everyone lived to be 100. With an overgrowth of goji vines, ripe berries would fall into the well that everyone drank from. A literal fountain of youth!
Goji berries are a complete protein and contain 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. Best of all, they taste like candy and can be used as a natural sweetener.
They boost levels of hgh, which is a critical component of aging. It has a domino effect on all of the other hormones in the body, the key reason these berries are linked to longevity and youth.
The antioxidant profile is so high, they boost the immune system and can even prevent macular degeneration.
They have a hypoglycemic effect on the body, lowering blood sugar to prevent diabetes.
They offer many positive benefits for the male reproductive system, increasing s***m count, helping with erectile dysfunction, and boosting libido.

Our health can be greatly impacted by frequencies (in a negative or positive way), from the food we eat, the clothing we wear, and the emotions we express.
A study on the frequency of fabrics showed linen is 5000HZ, cotton is 100HZ, and polyester is 15HZ. Wearing synthetic fabrics will lower the frequency in your body.
Food has frequencies, ultra processed foods are between 0-5 HZ, organic food between 50-160HZ, super foods and heirloom plants between 160-210HZ. Medicinal herbs and nootropics are between 210-320HZ.
In his book Power Vs Force, David R.Hawkins explored hidden facets of human behaviour based on the frequency of emotions. Emotions like peace are at 600HZ, love is 500HZ. Emotions like anger are 150HZ, fear is 100HZ, and grief is 75HZ. The frequency of someone on their deathbed is 15HZ.
Our organs operate optimally at specific frequencies, kidneys at 319HZ, lungs at 220HZ, stomach 110HZ, and pancreas at 117HZ.
This is the basis for treatments like bio resonance, a machine that can send correct frequencies to each organ based on need in order to heal.
