NOT MEDICAL ADVICE – LAYPERSON’S OPINION
“In the main, then, the doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients, he is a ruined man; and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them. That is why all changes come from the laity…Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity” – George Bernard Shaw, The Doctor’s Dilemma, 1906.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is not an accepted diagnosis in the medical profession, but intestinal permeability is widely acknowledged.
A 2020 article posted at PubMed, “A Human-Origin Probiotic Cocktail Ameliorates Aging-Related Leaky Gut and Inflammation Via Modulating the Microbiota/Taurine/Tight Junction Axis”, it was concluded that probiotic strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria, together with the supplement Taurine, lessened gut permeability symptoms.
Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride, MD, MSc., advocates eating beef cartilage from antibiotic-free tendons, ribs, and brisket, chicken feet and wings, pig’s ears, and beef broth (not bone broth), to re-build the small intestine which is made of muscle, mucus and cartilage. Dr. Steven Gundry, MD, writes that “animal fiber” is important from ligaments, tendons, bones, and cartilage from meat. There is even a type of respiratory failure called Interstitial Pneumonia from a cartilage deficiency affecting the scaffolding of the lung. Dr. McBride advocates avoiding grains and plant foods that damage the intestine, unless fermented. There is no apparent magic pill for curing SeptiCovid other than cartilage rich meat and gelatin.
A postulated leaky gut approach to SeptiCOVID also means that singularly treating the secondary symptom of lung infection and not also the primary root cause of intestinal permeability is not doing no harm.
