The Gut Pill Story

She watched her mother hobbling back from the woods.
It had seemed like Mama’s stomach issues had grown worse with each
passing of the moon. For a long time Mama thought she was hiding it but
these trips became so frequent that it was no use trying to keep coming
up with stories. Mama stoically carried her embarrassment. The daughter
had learned it was best not to inquire as that just added to her
mother’s shame.

But this didn’t mean the daughter had to just
sit back passively as Mama’s digestive system tossed and frothed. Among
the tribe’s traditions were several plants that helped settle irritated
guts. She had tried them on Mama, singularly and in assorted
combinations. Thankfully, there were some successes in helping her
mother, but a lot more help was needed. She had reached out along the
tribe’s trading partners to seek new herbs and had been rewarded with
unusual plants from far away, along with directions on how to use them.

Mama stared at her daughter hard, then looked at
the pouch being held out. It was no use arguing with the young woman as
she had inherited the same bullheadedness that seemed to bless/plague
all female members of their line. With a sigh, she took the leather bag,
and sprinkled some of its contents on her food. The flavor was much
different than previous ones. She cocked one eye at her daughter, a sign
of questioning.

“It’s not all from around here.” Replied the
daughter. “One is from the lands of your childhood, another came from
lands the tribe had dwelt on but left many generations ago. I have a
theory…maybe you need to feed the inner spirits from those lands…?”

“Hmmmm” the older woman responded, signaling her
acceptance with a slight shrug, but frowning in resignation. A week
later, that frown had turned to careful hope. A month later the hope was
replaced by dancing.

Knowledge of these plants was passed down
generation to generation from before recorded history. A change occurred
several hundred years ago. Science tried replacing experience. From the
labs of chemists came strange molecules, pure powders and liquids
believed to be better than crude plant extracts at supporting the human
body. Purity gave repeatability which gave confidence…even at the loss
of some effectiveness or increase in odd side effects.

True, there were some amazing creations…and many
that would be considered failures when judged honestly. During this age
of scientific hubris, some of the scientists rejected the new and
devoted their studies to the old, the ancient. The plants that had once
maintained the tribe were carefully teased apart, studying the powers of
the individual molecules they contained, studying the miracles of which
they were capable. In this quest for understanding the components a
universal truth was discovered…alone is weak, together is strong. No one
molecule could be found that when used alone gave the benefits of using
the entire leaf, flower, or root.

 

 

 

Lactobacillus Acidophilus

When people think about bacteria they usually focus on bad ones such
as E. coli and completely ignore the beneficial gut bacteria we’ve
evolved with symbiotically. We give these good bacteria a safe home and
they help us digest and utilize the foods we drink, supplying nutrients
we’d have a hard time getting by ourselves. Modern diets can greatly
weaken and reduce the populations of these good bacteria. This allows
bad bacteria to move in, take over, and cause assorted health issues.
Reintroducing live Lactobacillus acidophilus into the GI tract helps
return the gut to the pre-modern state.

One quick benefit from these bacteria is the reduction in
diarrhea caused by both bad bacteria and assorted medicinal other
conditions as the L. acidophilus becomes reestablished. Research has
also found that IBS sufferers may get relief for addition of a probiotic
such as L. acidophilus into their daily diet.(1)

 

Having too much LDL cholesterol and not enough HDL cholesterol is a
common occurrence with modern humans. A placebo-controlled research
study showed taking a lactobacillus supplement for six weeks
significantly increase HDL levels while the LDL concentrations were
lowered.(2)

 

Do you have a child in school? A study of over 300 children fed active
lactobacillus reduced days missed from school due to illness by over
30%. The probiotic benefits of this gut flora increases immune system
power! Similar benefits were seen in those who normally suffered
allergies.(3,4,5) 

 

Lactobacilli may reduce social uncomfortableness by helping maintain
comfortable GABA neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Studies found
decreased social anxiety among young adults who eat fermented foods.(6) 

 

Calendula

The history of calendula’s healing starts in southern Europe but it
was also picked up by Ayurvedic practitioners as knowledge of this plant
spread via trade routes. It can grow in a variety of climates and can
be easily used to treat all sorts of issues, making it a favorite in
modern medicinal herb gardens.

 

Inflammation anywhere along the digestive track can cause all sorts
of misery and is often a sign of holes puncturing its protective mucosal
membrane. Studies have shown the polysaccharides in calendula flowers
can support and maintain this critical layer, soothing and relieving its
irritations.(7) 

 

Calendula’s restorative powers aren’t limited to just the GI tract.
It’s calcium-channel blockading compounds have been shown to help
relieve stomach cramping and constipation due via a relaxation
mechanism.(8)

 

Marshmallow Root

Records of Althaea officinalis being used to treat stomach
issues goes back almost 3000 years in Europe into western Asia, and
spread worldwide since those early times. It is a strong demulcent due
to assorted polysaccharides that meld into the mucosal layer, sealing it
to protect the underlying tissue.(9) 

 

Flavonoid-O-sulfoglycosides and other low-molecular weight
polysaccharides in marshmallow root have been found to interfere with
adhesive attachments of Escherichia coli. E. coli is a common source of food poisoning, often entering the stomach from improperly washed fruits and vegetables.(10)

 

Triphala Fruit

The combination of Indian gooseberry (Embilica officinalis),
bibhitaki fruit (Terminalia bellirica), and haritaki fruit (Terminalia
chebula) make up the Ayurvedic polyherbal formula known as triphala.
These three native fruits of India are loaded with bioactive compounds
such as phenols, polyphenols, tannins, gallic acid, phyllembelic acid,
rutin, curcuminoids, emblicol, ellagic acid, lignans, flavones,
flavonoids, terpenes, and anthocyanins along with several powerful
antioxidants.

These compounds work together to support and maintain proper
gastrointestinal tissues including the mucosal membrane, act as
anti-inflammatory agents, stimulate proper bowel contractions and
digestive enzyme production, flatulence, assorted abdominal pains, and
may reduce the negative effects of sugar. (11,12)
