 Struggling with health issues?  Know someone who is?

 The following information may be beneficial to you or someone you know.  

As a sophomore in college, I contracted a debilitating gastrointestinal flu virus from the day care that I worked at. This devestating virus spiraled my body into eight years of chronic fatigue, unexplicable weight gain and a host of health related issues involving my adrenal glands and thyroid. 

This past September, I consulted with Dr. Cal Streeter of Health Evangelism Services and finally the pieces of my health puzzle came together. The flu virus had damaged the mucosal lining of my intestinal walls and left leaky gut syndrome in its wake. Sounds gross! What is that? Leaky gut syndrome occurs when the intestinal walls become inflamed and permeable. Toxins, bacteria and food particles literally "leak" through the walls and enter the blood stream. The blood can't identify these "foreign objects" so it creates an autoimmune reaction to them. Thus a food intolerance or what we would consider a food allergy is born.

Unbeknownst to me for many years, I had developed an allergy to gluten and dairy from the afore- mentioned. Every time I consumed those particular allergens, I was sending my body into crisis mode. Imagine doing this year after year. Most people do unwittingly. Leaky gut syndrome eventually throws the endocrine system off resulting in adrenal and thyroid issues.

In my quest for health, I have tried many alternative treatments and various vitamin supplements. I may share a few of them from time to time on the main page as readers may benefit from them. Helpful links have been included below. 


The following resources have been of great value on my journey back to health:
