In order for it to function optimally, the path through the colon needs to be clear. If toxins and waste materials are not broken down and excreted there quickly enough, the body can poison itself in a process known as autointoxication.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is thus to syphon off the toxic substances that result from faecal residues and putrefaction processes. This also reduces the risk of leaky gut syndrome, in which harmful substances can enter the bloodstream unhindered.<\/p>\n<p>This is followed by microbiome decontamination. The intestinal microbiome supplies up to 25 percent of our energy needs. It ensures the energy supply, has a regulating influence on the immune system and activates our self-healing powers.<\/p>\n<p>Both procedures can be optimally combined with conventional medicine and alternative methods: as the basis for all restorative and regenerative treatments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][uncode_block id=&#8221;468&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; inverted_device_order=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; back_image=&#8221;50&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-658","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Intestinal microbiome activates self-healing powers | Gut cleansing<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our intestine \u2013 an organ of superlatives. 80 percent of the immune system is directly linked to the gut | Microbiome restoration in Baden-Baden\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.darmtherapie.de\/unser-darm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Intestinal microbiome activates self-healing powers | Gut cleansing\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Our intestine \u2013 an organ of superlatives. 80 percent of the immune system is directly linked to the gut | Microbiome restoration in Baden-Baden\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.darmtherapie.de\/unser-darm\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dr. med.
