The Great Wall: Chinese Medicine Tackles Leaky Gut

Much is made of the role of leaky gut in allowing the microbiome to trigger immune mediated disease, but how does one plug those leaks? This lecture will identify the four main strategies for addressing leaky gut, and how to tell which to employ in a given patient. The exact means of implementing each strategy will be discussed, including the deployment of herbs, acupuncture and diet. The interaction of the gut wall integrity with the microbiome will also be discussed.
