The weight issue is complicated.
Compromised digestion certainly appears to be a common factor in the Morgellons community, as is chronic toxicity and hormonal imbalance due to xenoestrogen exposure (fungal mycotoxins, chemical exposures, etc.), and thyroid suppression.
In the beginning, thyroid suppression might tend to promote energy loss and weight gain, but the combination of progressive malabsorption and parasitic infestation could certainly play a role in reducing weight over time, as well as making it very difficult to gain weight.
Losing weight releases toxins into the body that were previously isolated or stored in the fat, placing an additional burden on the body's detoxification systems.
Fortunately, restoring integrity to the bioterrain and to the digestive process will eventually reverse all those dynamics, promoting normal hormonal function and once again enabling efficient nutrient absorption and weight gain.
L-glutamine can be useful for rebuilding the lining of the gut. Once the primary goals of restoring digestion and bioterrain integrity have been met, whey protein isolate can be helpful for healthy weight gain.
Is that clear as mud? |
