Try to digest this.
More and more scientists believe that everything from anxiety and depression to obesity to
rheumatoid arthritis to chronic fatigue spectrum - the list of diseases goes on and on - are
all connected to our gut.
You know, our stomach.
The belly and what's inside.
Our guest, Dr. Zach Bush is an expert on healthy guts and has lots of insights for us this
morning.
He is founder CEO of Revolution Health Center and Biomic Sciences.
Good morning.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks for being here.
This is so appropriate for the morning because I know, especially my husband, he's probably
having a cup of coffee right now.
He's probably dipping his donut or his toast into that coffee and he's in pain.
And I know a lot of people that wake up every morning, Doctor, in pain.
Yes, this has become an epidemic in our environment.
We've got over 60 to 80 percent of Americans now identifying with the concept of gut problems,
and most Americans right now are eating diets that are full of processed foods which are
rich in GMOs, antibiotics, herbicides, and pesticides that are used in the farming industry,
and this can really damage the frontline of health.
The immune system is really destroyed as these are consumed.
The wipeout of bacteria in the gut leads to a weakening of the gut lining.
So whether it's the coffee or the donut or whatever you're about to put in your mouth,
you have an opportunity now for that to pass inappropriate from the gut into your bloodstream.
And it's not just the food, right?
I mean it could be other factors, stress, I mean the list can go on and on in terms
of unhealthy gut?
It's a vicious cycle between external forces and internal stressors that lead to real severe
gut problems.
And then what's compromised here, which you just touched upon, and I'd like to hear a
little bit more about that is our immune system.
Because then we have problems, we get unhealthy, and diseases come about.
Why is it compromised?
Absolutely.
So, as you lose bacteria, you become vulnerable at that frontline of defense, which is the
gut wall.
It should be a firewall of defense against the outside world and your immune system.
But as it becomes leaky and you start to introduce inappropriate material into that immune system,
it gets overwhelmed, and the results is chronic inflammation, which is the primary cause of
all chronic disease.
And I know you're very passionate about this.
That's why your company, Biomic Sciences, is really leading the way in creating a supplement
that's good for - hence my husband and so many people out there - your supplement is
Restore.
Tell me how that is changing lives.
The effort with Restore is really to start to really figure out what is a healthy gut?
With Restore, what our discovery was, is that there are carbon molecules made by bacteria
when they digest food.
And those carbon molecules actually are bunches up and create a firewall of defense and support
to block the toxicity of our environment.
And we're seeing a picture right now, so if you could explain right here what we're seeing.
Yeah, and so in that upper right hand corner, you're seeing a control membrane that's ready
to absorb nutrients and food into the system.
Right below that, you're seeing an image of the amount of gluten seen in one slice of
pizza.
Now, what you see is gaps between the cells that have developed that are almost 25% of
the circumference of the whole cell.
See, this huge leaky sieve has occurred.
In contrast, to your left, if you take Restore on that membrane, you get a 60% increase in
those tight junction barriers, and then the gluten introduction with the Restore at the
bottom left hand corner is showing you no damage whatsoever.
So that person, who may be suffering from this and then also gets that bloating and
that horrible feeling, Restore can really help them and alleviate that a lot.
Yes, it's a stunning situation where not just gluten sensitivity but every condition that
we think of with chronic inflammation now, whether it's asthma and food allergies in
our children, eczema, even the autistic spectrum all the way to the adult where you're looking
at cardiovascular disease, cancer, the Alzheimer's dementia.
All of these are going to tie right back to that same tight junction injury in the gut
wall with that leaky sieve membrane.
So, Doctor, can Restore be used to prevent disease and maybe even correct issues that
we are currently battling?
It's an amazing thing.
When you have an intact immune system, you're capable of dealing with all kinds of adversity
out there.
And Restore is this new compound that's allowing for that frontline of defense to go back up
and really create resilience back in your organism of healing.
So this is the excitement that we get to see around clinic everyday.
Is upmost remarkable situations of healing not because we're healers but because the
consumer is really the healer.
Each of us are empowered with an incredible capacity.
Can you tell me a story of maybe someone who tried Restore and truly changed their lives?
So many of those, but there's a 17-year-old girl in my clinic that dropped out of college
because of her inability to really focus on her studies because she was suffering daily
discomfort in the gut.
Bowel problems, etc. etc.
It was an embarrassment to her.
She felt like she couldn't go into social environments and everything else.
Sure.
One day, two days on Restore and she comes down the stairs at home and tells her mom,
"Mom, I think I'm ready to go.
I'm cured and I'm ready to fly."
She just needed that frontline of defense back up, and then she was able to go and do
what she does best.
Great story.
Doctor, for our viewers out there who'd like more information on Restore, where do they
go?

That's Restore, the number four, Life dot com.
And you are restoring lives.
Thank you so much, Doctor.
