The Gut Health Protocol: A Nutritional Approach To Healing SIBO, Intestinal Candida, GERD, Gastritis, and other Gut Health Issues Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 323 ratings

Second Edition!


“THANK YOU !!!! I have been suffering from IBS and SIBO for years .... I came across your "gut health protocol" and followed it to a T... and I truly have not felt this good in years !!!!!! You have given me my life back !!!!! I never realized how sick I was, and I forgot how a healthy person should feel. I thought I had to live my life feeling the way I did. Not the case at all !! To everyone out there.... read the gut protocol, follow what is suggested...its so worth it !!!” — Jackie A. 


“I've been doing John's protocol for the last two months and it has helped immensely with my SIBO. My bloating and stomach distention are pretty much gone, ditto stools pretty much normal and motility much better.  I'm not necessarily 100% better, but it's the first thing I've done beside a ridiculously restrictive diet that has actually helped me heal. In fact, previously my diet was slowly becoming more and more restricted. Give it a try, it's good stuff. And, hey John Herron, thank you!” — Michelle M.


“I would like to share that I have had such great success. My gut is probably about 90% better. I realize that it still probably has issues and this is a journey of healing and keeping it well, but I have had no bloating, belching, constipation or diarrhea, and limited moments of soreness. I feel that I am digesting my food and the shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and discomfort in my throat are gone too.” — Berea F.


“I just looked at your latest protocol and I have to say it is totally amazing! It seems more thorough than most of the 5 books I have read. Were/are you something famous for your job?” — Debbie H.


The Gut Health Protocol outlines natural approaches to tackling dozens of stomach and intestinal health issues using only scientifically studied natural herbs, supplements and diet. Supplements commonly available in local health foods stores and at your favorite online retailer. Many common ailments often have gut issues as their underlying cause, conditions such as: recurring stomach aches, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, IBS, acid reflux, nausea, eating disorders, eczema, obesity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and even major depression have all been linked to gut issues. The root of many of these problems can often be traced quite convincingly to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), intestinal candida albicans, h.pylori bacteria overgrowth in the stomach, bacterial dysbiosis throughout the gut or other secondary conditions that these infections cause. The Gut Health Protocol can usually resolve these issues, and without damaging antibiotics or steroids. Even if you choose to go the antibiotic route The Gut Health Protocol can make the treatment more effective and can help prevent serious complications.


Over 1200 published scientific studies are summarized and explained in easy to understand language, over 500 pages long. Unlike many self-help books nearly everything in the book is based on science, not opinion. The author takes all of this brilliant research and translates it to the practical application of healing and caring for our gut.


The book is written in such a way as allow your doctor to easily look up the research to validate the claims and treatment suggestions. No need to take the author’s word for anything, you and your doctor can read the research. It is recommended that everyone works with a doctor to determine a treatment plan.


Though everyone’s condition is different, you can be feeling much better in as little as 2 weeks, naturally and without risky antibiotics.

Product description

About the Author

John Herron thinks of himself as a "meta-researcher", a person who researches the research. He doesn't do medical studies, he finds them, digests them, and translates them for his readers. John began this meta-research not out of desire, but necessity. He had been sick for many years with intestinal, stomach, and various other issues that doctors were helpless to cure. Thus he began doing his own research, not browsing the thousands of self-help websites, but scouring published medical and scientific research studies. This meta-research led him to not only find many potentially helpful natural supplements that had great potential to eliminate gut infections, but also to herbs and foods that can heal the damage done by these infections. What resulted was a new understanding of what needed to be done, and in what order, to heal his own health issues, a healing protocol. John started sharing this information with some people he met on Facebook that had similar issues, many of them, on their own accord, started testing his theories and reporting back. When their results matched his own experiences he knew he was on to something. This resulted in his first book, "The Gut Health Protocol". John continues to research other health conditions and sharing his research with thousands of people in the Facebook group "The Gut Health Protocol". Many of the research studies have been tested in the lab, are safe and effective, but have never been used in medical practice. The reasons are simple, there are no drug companies willing to sell a product that has very little profit potential, products that would possibly cripple the sales of their existing medications. John hopes to write additional books in the future, with the hope that results of this meta-research leads more people to discover natural cures for common ailments. Ailments that modern pharmaceuticals may not have all the answers or may have serious side effects.

When their results matched his own experiences he knew he was on to something. This resulted in his first book, “The Gut Health Protocol”.

Later John was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer (called “nodular melanoma”). This is when he put his research skills to good use, looking for ways to improve his odds of surviving this cancer. What he discovered is scientifically evidenced ways to naturally fight cancer, most of which most people have never heard of before. This along with immunotherapy put his cancer is complete remission (without surgery, chemo, or radiation on the largest tumor), something that only happens to 6% of people with his cancer who received the same immunotherapy. This led to his latest book, “Cancer: Improving Your Odds”.

John continues to research other health conditions and sharing his research with thousands of people in the Facebook group “The Gut Health Protocol” and “Cancer:Improving Your Odds”. Many of the research studies have been tested in the lab, are safe and effective, but have never been used in medical practice. The reasons are simple, there are no drug companies willing to sell a product that has very little profit potential, products that would possibly cripple the sales of their existing medications.

    Sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa da questo libro. È pieno zeppo di informazioni dettagliatissime e accurate. Riporta le fonti, ha dei percorsi terapeutici molto validi, spiega per filo e per segno ogni uso e composizione dei vari prodotti/integratori/oli essenziali/medicinali.
    È fenomenale. I gastroenterologi italiani dovrebbero proprio leggerselo.........

    Dieses Buch ist ein Augenöffner. Alle die unter Reizdarm, Sibo, Candida/ Pilzbesiedlung, Sodbrennen, H. Pylori, Gastritis, Durchfall/Verstopfung oder sonstigen Beschwerden, die mit dem Verdauungssystem zusammenhängen,(die neusten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntinisse zeigen, dass dies sehr viele sind, wie z.B. auch Autoimmunkrankheiten) leiden sollten und müssen dieses Buch lesen. John Herron erklärt fundiert die Hintergründe dieser Beschwerden. Als ehmaliger Leidensgenosse hat er hierfür nicht nur die beste Perspektive sondern auch die richtig Motivation: Menschen mit ähnlich Beschwerden zu helfen. Diese Buch gibt einem die Macht seine Genesung in die eigene Hand zu nehmen! Basierend auf aktuellen und sehr vielen wissenschaftlichen Studien und seiner persönlichen Erfahrung, so wie den Erfahrungen vieler anderer Betroffenen, zeigt er Behandlungs- und Genesungsmöglichkeiten auf, die schonend & ganzheitlich sind und funktionieren! (Diät, fermentierte Lebensmittel, Heilpflanzen, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, Lebenswandel). Dieses Buch ist auch sehr empfehlenswert für behandelnde Ärzte, um sich auf den neusten Stand der Wissenschaft zu bringen und um alternative und schonende Behandlungsmethoden in den Praxisalltag zu implementieren. Bevor ich hier noch weiter über den grünen Klee lobe: Kauft dieses Buch! Ihr könnt nur an Gesundheit & Erkenntnis gewinnen.

    I've been seeing a private specialist since 2013 for ME and in 2015 was diagnosed with SIBO from private testing. I have been paleo since 2013 but the clean eating didn't seem to improve my gut. In 2014 I also added in a ketogenic diet (very low carb and high fat), which helped my gut somewhat (low carb seemed to help) but it didn't solve my gut issues. After a year and a half going through the nhs (utterly useless!!) I decide to buy this book. At first I got it on kindle but loved it so much I decided to get a hard copy. It's got a full detailed protocol to help directly deal with sibo as well as other gut issues. It explains the kill phase, the heal phase and then the maintenance phase. It's got so much useful information as well as links to websites, studies and research. It also discusses diet too. The best thing is that you tailor the diet and protocol according to your needs/ issues etc. As I have other health issues I've been following an AIP (auto immune protocol diet) as well as low fodmap and ketogenic. I have been following this protocol since October 2016 and it's the most improvement I have had. I would recommend buying the hard copy of this book as you need to flick back and forth through the pages which can be a hassle on the kindle version. It is quite repetitive in parts, and in some places can be a little confusing. Eg supplement recommendations won't have doses listed until a lot later in the book. However I would still recommend as it is so detailed and also gives you links to further reading if you wanted to. It's also one of the only detailed sibo protocols I've come across. A lot of protocols for sibo are vuage or limited. There are only s very few recipes in this book (very very few) but it has so much detail on what sibo is, how it can effect you, what you can do to heal, why to do certain things, why to eat certain things etc. There is a social media group for this book too where you can join and ask questions. The author (John) even answer your questions and is really helpful. The only down side as such, is the supplements can be expensive when you add them all up but again, it's still worth trying.
