Root Cause

Root Cause
of disease?
Inflammation is the root of all
chronic disorder and disease
Autism
Oxidative Stress
• Acute inflammation can save our lives
– Injury Repair
– Infection control
• Chronic inflammation
– oxidative stress = positive charge/acid
– Shutdown/overwhelm of the antioxidant system
chronic inflammation = loss of communication

Intercellular Tight Junctions
Firewalls of Defense
Gut/Brain Axis
• Gut injury: Gluten, Glyphosate,
Lipopolysaccharides
• Zonulin goes systemic
• Tight junction injury
– Gut
– Blood/brain barrier
– Vascular system
– Kidney tubules
Gut/Brain Axis
• Leaky Brain
– Interleukin inflammatory cytokines
– Neuro transmitter dysregulation
– Neuro-hormonal stress
A catastrophic vulnerability

Bacterial metabolites:
Carbon-based Redox system
• Each bacterial species (30,000 species) creates a unique
subset of carbon metabolites during the digestive process
Carbon Redox
• These function as an interspecies molecular
communication network that allows for coordinated cell
protection, injury response, and repair

What are your bacteria saying?
• Dysbiosis: broken ecosystem
– Monoculture
Antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals, processed foods
• Weeds grow up: E.Coli, Klebsiela, Psudomonas, Candida
Probiotics – 3 - 24 species, $30 Billion monoculture
Monoculture = limited vocabulary = limited defense
• Optimal bowel ecology = 20,000 species
Biodiversity = fluid communication = strong defenes

What’s in Restore?
• Carbon-based redox molecules extracted from fossil soil
in the South West United States
• Trace micronutrients – minerals and amino acids with
concentration profiles similar to that of a sweet potato
skin
• Unprecedented results in cellular safety studies
– Gold-standard Renal Tubule Toxicity studies – No LD50, extends
life of cell lines at every concentration
– Even at 100% concentrations
Restore Logistics
• 1 tsp to 1 TBL three times daily before or with
meals
• For very sensitive kids:
– 2-5 drops by mouth – plain or
with non-chlorinated water/juice
– Slowly increase to 1 tsp three times daily
• Once on restore you can stop probiotics and
digestive enzymes to speed recovery of natural gut
biome diversity and healthy digestive processes
• No drug-drug interactions
