A doc (antiaging) who is standing in for my doc is into "leaky gut syndrome"..detoxes of gut first then liver detox.
By "into" I mean he thinks almost all problems are caused by "leaky gut"...which if there is an absorption problem.. agree things may be fixed if absorption can be fixed..butAs far as my understanding goes all cells "leak"(maybe 20-25%?)...but maybe there can be some cells more leaky than they should be?
On my first vist (I had to get a few scripts for thyroid meds etc) he "tested" me for leaky gut syndrome.
I can't find this test by googling on the net.It involved
ferric chloride
HCl hydrochoric acid
choloform (anesthetic I guess)add urine sample
if bubbles and cloudy..supposed to mean you have leaky gut syndrome....?
Test went like(from watching)..the Ferric Cl and HCl combines with urine and sits on top of the choroform..after shaking ..bubbles(tiny) are seen and the choroform goes cloudy colour..bubbles in choroform and a bit in urine, Ferric Cl,HCl mix
Apparently after the gut detox this urine test does not go cloudy or have bubbles.
I cannot figure out what happened in the test.
I'm only asking as you said you knew a bit about liver detox...wondered if you had heard of this one?
Thanks, Jan
