Wanda,
After the cleanse, you may want to continue the healing process by drinking bone broth. A lot of it. 20 plus years ago, I read a study of a doctor who treated many clients with
leaky gut. They reversed their condition with bone broth. You can make your own, but pho soup is basically bone broth with onions and spices that is readily available at Asia cuisine places.
It is worth a try. Let us know how things go for you.

Hi Wanda,

Yours in italics, mine in bold

I’d love to see a Q&A for these two topics. I have so many questions. Since my goal is to be an herbalist with a practice to help individuals, I want to make sure I can answer their questions too!

That’s a great idea. I’ll set it up.

I started with the cleanse. While I did not eliminate all the food suggested, I eat pretty clean/organic/raw (milk, some cheese). The only part I could not follow was the colon klnz. Even though I have struggled with chronic constipation for almost 20+ years, I was only able to take one teaspoon once a day or I was running to the bathroom :).

Sounds like it was doing its job. :0) You were wise to listen to your body and back off a bit if it was too much.

I started the leaky gut about two weeks afterward. Within two days I started feeling better than I had in years. For the last few years my mental state has declined to the point of a counselor telling me I was depressed. I have had little energy or desire or motivation to do much of anything. By day two my mental state had drastically improved to be better than it has in years. My energy has been amazing!

That’s not unusual. The leaky gut kit (and the prebiotics in the cleanse protocol) are really supportive of good-guy gut flora which produces a lot of the serotonin that makes our brains feel happy. It also tends to markedly decrease overall inflammation in autoimmune cases.

Questions:

If someone is taking supplements (not HGH) should they stop? What about other tinctures? (even if they are from another company) I have a friend who takes some plexus products (against my recommendation!) and has seen some results from it. She’d like to stop taking them but is concerned her issues that resolved may return. Should she stop these? Or can she do this while continuing? She is asking this.

I don’t worry about supplement use during the cleanse. I do recommend that strong herbs be used judiciously during the leaky gut protocol. Some of those can be a little harsh on the gut and inhibit its getting healed up and happy. It’s something that needs to be decided on a case by case basis.

Are there things people should/could notice improving while doing this?

What you noticed during the Leaky Gut protocol isn’t unusual. Mostly, folks with any sort of autoimmune issues typically notice a decrease in general inflammation.

How long can/should someone continue the leaky gut? I feel so good while using them despite despising taking the clay:) How often can/should this be done? I remember that the cleanse can be done 1-2/year.

There’s nothing in the Leaky gut formula that can’t be taken as a long term tonic. I wouldn’t do the bentonite clay long term. It’s too good at absorbing minerals to by a long term habit.
