Is the digestive system the gateway to all diseases?

“The root and gateway of most diseases truly lies in the digestive system.”

The new way of treating and healing diseases in this century is taking a 180-degree turn.
You or someone you love has probably filled up on pills and long-term treatments, forgetting to look for the root cause. The new approach to healing must go directly to the source of the problem in order to eliminate or remove it.

“We are what we eat.”

Your digestive system’s main function is to digest friendly foods—that is, foods suitable for each person—and convert them into the necessary nutrients that make up everything we are.

“Your gut doesn’t just digest.”

The digestive system represents 70% of your immune system, and a healthy gut must form a selectively permeable and protective barrier that prevents the passage of environmental toxins, pathogenic microorganisms, and enemy foods that cause sensitivity.

“What is food for some is bitter poison for others.”

When you eat “enemy foods” that cannot be digested, they form “toxins” and “anti-nutrients” that trigger an inflammatory response from the immune system to neutralize or eliminate these toxins from the body.

If the consumption of these sensitivity-causing foods is repetitive and ongoing, chronic inflammation develops and, as a consequence:

• Leaky gut: Inflammation
• Intestinal dysbiosis: Imbalance of gut flora
• Malabsorption of nutrients: Those that help you recover your health—but if your gut is inflamed and you cannot absorb them, you become deficient.

This trio opens the gateway for toxins and anti-nutrients to enter the body, marking the beginning of disease. Depending on each person’s individuality and genetics, it will manifest in different parts of the body.

“Let your food be your first and best medicine.”

The immune system located in the gut acts as your security center; it reacts to the foods you eat, and this response is specific to you—to each person.
Depending on what you eat, the response can be positive—health—or negative—sensitivity, inflammation, or disease.

Therefore, through immunonutrition, the goal is to find the appropriate diet for the proper functioning of the digestive and immune systems, and thus recover health.

“For specific genes to cause disease, there must be something in the environment that activates them.”

Many people claim that the cause of their problem is hereditary. It may seem that the presence of a gene determines the appearance of a disease. However, there are many studies on identical twins in which one develops a disease and the other does not, even though they share the same genetic code. What makes the difference?
Epigenetics!

For specific genes to trigger disease, something in the environment must activate them. These stimuli can be negative:

• Psychological stress
• Infections, toxins
• Poorly digested enemy foods

Genes are like a set of switches that can be turned on or off.

NutriWhite, through the 3R Protocol, seeks to give you the tools to identify the foods and environmental factors that turn on the right switches for your health, helping you transform your life through immunonutrition:

Remove: enemy foods—those that are hard to digest, feed harmful gut microbes, and cause inflammation and intestinal permeability.
Replace: friendly foods—for you and your beneficial microbiota—that you can digest and absorb properly to use their nutrients as keys for your immune system, 70% of which resides in your gut.
Recover: your health in an integrated way—gastrointestinal, mental, and overall.

We invite you to apply the 3R Immunonutrition Protocol and personalize it through an online consultation with our team of NutriWhite Ambassadors.
