Dr. Bill Rawls says your gut problems probably aren't about food. When your nervous system stays in overdrive, your gut stops moving. Bacteria multiply in the stagnation, cellular debris piles up, and inflammation follows.
We look at gut dysfunction and we always try to relate it to food. Food is a factor, of course, but most of it is just high sympathetic tone stops the gut. Mm-hmm. And if you stop the gut and bacteria overgrow, everything gets backed up. And that backs up the detoxification system too. Detoxification starts at the cellular level. This is key. Toxic substances are doing damage to our cells. And what happens is if you've got all this turmoil, you've got reactivated microbes that are breaking down cells, it creates a lot of debris and congestion. Well, if you've got a lot of dead cells and debris, that clogs that space up, and that's basically what inflammation is.
