GMO Foods, Gut Health, and the Hidden Pathway to Chronic Illness Since the publication of his best-selling book Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, Jeffrey M. Smith has emerged as one of the most prominent voices calling for a global reassessment—and potential halt—of genetically engineered (GE) food technology.

Some people reported improvements within days; for others, benefits unfolded gradually over four to six weeks. Reported Health Improvements After Removing GM Foods To date, more than 3,000 individuals have reported improvement in 28 different conditions, including: Digestive disorde…

Discounted for many years by the medical establishment, scientists are now beginning to discover how much we depend on these “good bugs.” Not only do they synthesize vitamins and amino acids and help us to digest and absorb our food, they are also an indispensable part of our immune system. Before a pathogen—bacterial, viral, or fungal—can get into your bloodstream, where it can replicate and become increasingly virulent, it must first get past the formidable fortress created by your skin and mucus membranes. The skin isn’t just a physical barrier; it is an immune system organ, where immune cells and good bugs work together to conquer pot…
