"I can verify her remarkable results and encourage both mainstream and alternative medicine professionals to consider the leaky gut syndrome..."

"...very useful to gastroenterologist, family practice and internal medicine physicians treating patients with digestive disorders."


L.V. Righton, D.A. Hom
"... from pain and misery, through a wide array of various and evolving symptoms to eventual self-healing." (L.V. Righton, D.A. Hom)


Book Description
This book is the first of its kind to directly connect the causes of autoimmune disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and multiple chemical sensitivities with colon and digestive disorders. It offers safe, alternative, natural choices to drug therapy. A personal note from Dr. Gilbère: Dear Reader, My book will assist you in natural non-drug solutions to heal and repair damage from prescription drugs, years of health depleting dietary choices, and chemically induced immune system disorders. It’s surprising how many symptoms stem from leaky gut and toxic liver syndromes. No, leaky gut is not a dinner table topic, but will soon become a household word. This increasingly common disorder is not well known in traditional medicine, rarely tested for, and much less understood. Leaky gut syndrome is the disease of the 21st century. The gut houses over half the body's immune and detoxification system, therefore, an unhealthy gut is what holds back many people from ever getting well. It doesn’t matter what your diagnostic label is, if your gut isn’t healthy, your body cannot repair. This syndrome will soon be as widely discussed and written about as colon cancer, menopause, prostate disorders and arthritis. —Dr. Gloria Gilbère, June 1, 2000 Take charge of your health... get to the gut causes... read this book! "We have become a society that expects instant results instead of taking full responsibility for our health. Doctors and health-care professionals are physicians, not magicians. The information provided in this book will assist you in making informed decisions, because, after all, it’s you who must live with the consequences of your choices."

Merry Alto, M.D., President, Washington State College of Emergency Physicians:

It is humbling to have a patient with devastating illness, and despite all the years of education and training, be helpless in finding the cause and treatment for the illness. Dr. Gilbere researched her problem from the alternative medicine viewpoint and began treatment. The results were incontrovertible! I was astounded! I can verify her remarkable results and encourage both mainstream and alternative medicine professionals to consider the leaky gut syndrome when faced with a baffling complex of patients. — Merry Alto
