 True health care reform begins with your gut! 
 The roots of your future health were laid while you were in the womb and during your early years. Genes are only a small part of it! If you are at a loss as to what is wrong and why you can’t be healthy, think about your gut. In your gut reside trillions of bacteria.
 Only a single microscopic cell lining separates your body from these bacteria. These bacteria, good and bad, affect your health 24/7 via the Gut-Immune-Skin-Brain axis. 
"A treasure trove of key information on probiotics, intestinal infections, and everything you ever could want to know about the digestive system."--Chris Adamec, co-author of Fibromyalgia for Dummies. 
Your gut occupies a central role in your health! Not only are chronic digestive illnesses widespread, there continues to be a rise of autism and allergies in kids, as well as chronic pain like fibromyalgia, migraine, and interstitial cystitis in adults. Arthritis, acne, and psoriasis are widespread. All of these are associated with high-intensity GI problems. 
 What is leaky gut and how can you strengthen it? What kind of foods should you avoid? Which probiotic should you take? What is a good way to do a colon cleanse, flush, and detox? Is there a natural treatment for IBS? 
 Dr. M’s Seven-X Plan provides invaluable information and answers to the above questions and a lot more.
“Hooray! Thanks to Dr. Minocha … his practical Seven-X Plan is easy to understand and follow..… anyone who struggles with a digestive condition, especially those who have not found relief from traditional medicine!”-- Jill Sklar, author of The First Year: Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

It's been said that health begins in the stomach. When digestion is not working properly, the whole body suffers. Skin rash, bad breath, headache, fatigue, overweight, and premature aging can all result from poor digestion-not to mention gastric disorders like heartburn, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome. But nearly half of digestive disorders can be averted with proper eating, exercise, stress management, and related lifestyle modifications.
In Natural Stomach Care, gastroenterologist Anil Minocha, M.D., combines the wisdom of traditional Eastern healing with the advancements of conventional Western medicine to offer a wide range of easy-to-use, affordable, and effective at-home natural therapies that can strengthen digestion, keep the colon clean and the bowels moving, and improve overall health. In addition to recommendations for overall digestive health, Dr. Minocha provides remedies for a host of digestive complaints. Treatments include healing Chinese herbs, Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, tai chi, probiotics, vitamin and mineral supplements, colon-cleansing techniques, and lifestyle changes, making Natural Stomach Care an innovative, integrative approach to digestive health.
