When undigested food proteins venture into our bloodstream, they trigger an immune response, leading to the production of specific IgG antibodies. This immune reaction can have detrimental effects on our well-being and overall performance. The consequences may range from local inflammation to systemic reactions, impacting our health negatively. Furthermore, this process can cause local ischemia, as red blood cells are redirected to the muscles, potentially increasing intestinal permeability, and elevating the risk of adverse food
Read MoreThe mitochondria – the powerhouses of our cells – play a vital role in the pathogenesis of diabetes. In the words of a very recent review, there is now evidence to indicate that diabetes and its complications result at least partially from pathogenic processes at the mitochondrial level.[1] If we can understand what these pathogenic processes are, we have more chance of working out what can be done to correct them. Professor Denis McGarry asked
Read MoreLyme disease, a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, has become an increasingly prevalent health concern in recent years.
