Gut Health
Digestive system, microbiome, and intestinal permeability
Interventions
Activated Charcoal
Highly porous carbon used medically for poisoning and overdose. Popular for "detox" but daily use lacks evidence and may bind nutrients.
Coffee Enemas
Rectal administration of coffee, claimed to stimulate liver detoxification and bile flow. Central to Gerson therapy. Lacks clinical evidence and carries real risks. Devoted following despite weak science.
Studies
Chronic vagus nerve stimulation in Crohn's disease - a 6-month follow-up pilot study
Pilot study showing vagus nerve stimulation can induce clinical remission in Crohn's disease patients through anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
The nutriceutical bovine colostrum truncates the increase in gut permeability caused by heavy exercise in athletes
Bovine colostrum supplementation reduced exercise-induced gut permeability by 80%, potentially protecting against "leaky gut" during intense training.
Oral supplementation with bovine colostrum decreases intestinal permeability and stool concentrations of zonulin in athletes
Bovine colostrum supplementation reduced intestinal permeability markers (zonulin) in athletes, suggesting protective effects on gut barrier function during intense training.
Bovine colostrum is a health food supplement which prevents NSAID induced gut damage
Bovine colostrum prevented the increase in gut permeability caused by NSAIDs in healthy volunteers, suggesting protective effects on the intestinal lining.
Co-administration of the health food supplement, bovine colostrum, reduces the acute non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced increase in intestinal permeability
Bovine colostrum reduced NSAID-induced gut permeability by 80% in healthy volunteers, confirming its protective effects on intestinal barrier function.
The short-term treatment effects on the microbiota at the dorsum of the tongue in intra-oral halitosis patients--a randomized clinical trial.
Randomized crossover trial in 21 halitosis patients shows tongue scraping alone does not significantly reduce halitosis-associated bacteria, suggesting its primary benefit is mechanical debris removal rather than antimicrobial action.
Efficacy of activated charcoal in reducing intestinal gas: a double-blind clinical trial.
Activated charcoal significantly reduced hydrogen gas production and bloating symptoms in a double-blind crossover trial, supporting its use for intestinal gas relief.
