Thanks for visiting! An important piece of the GAPS diet is detox.The diet supports detox in several ways and one very important way is through detox baths. When I think about a detox bath I picture this. Calm, relaxed, time away. It sounds wonderful! In reality however few days have time for that sort of a bath without giving up something else important. First, it is important to have a filter on your shower if you have chlorine added to your water as most people do with municipal water supplies. Chlorine in bathwater has been linked to bladder cancer (story here) and is more than just a cause of rough skin and stinky baths. Next simply stop the drain when you take a shower. You may not have time for a long luxurious detox bath. If I have more time I will do some lymphatic massage while in the tub. Another type of massage can be used to stimulate the immune system.

Broth is Beautiful. “Good broth will resurrect the dead,” says a South American proverb.

Said Escoffier: “Indeed, stock is everything in cooking. Without it, nothing can be done.” A cure-all in traditional households and the magic ingredient in classic gourmet cuisine, stock or broth made from bones of chicken, fish and beef builds strong bones, assuages sore throats, nurtures the sick, puts vigor in the step and sparkle in love life–so say grandmothers, midwives and healers. For chefs, stock is the magic elixir for making soul-warming soups and matchless sauces.

Meat and fish stocks play a role in all traditional cuisines—French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, African, South American, Middle Eastern and Russian. Grandmother Knew Best Science validates what our grandmothers knew. Fish stock, according to traditional lore, helps boys grow up into strong men, makes childbirth easy and cures fatigue. When broth is cooled, it congeals due to the presence of gelatin.

Attention to Detail. What is GAPS? If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.

Thanks for visiting! What’s so great about the GAPS diet? Who might benefit from the GAPS diet? How does GAPS heal so many different issues? You may have had these questions so I’m going to attempt to answer them. First a list of symptoms/disorders that GAPS can address. Why yes that was a long list wasn’t it. GAPS stands for Gut And Psychology Syndrome. Which explained the diet, called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), and shared it with the world. So the basic premise is that eating foods that are difficult to digest, when your gut is already damaged and has an imbalance of bacteria, will lead to many different uncomfortable symptoms.

One question people have is how did the gut get damaged in the first place? The main thing that this diet eliminates is di and polysaccharides. In addition to changing how they eat, people on the GAPS diet are encouraged to remove toxins from their life.
