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.

    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.

    I find the protocol described in this book simply genious. It describes in detail, step by step, how to deal with each particular issue of the gut, like dysbiosis, (SIBO) small intestine bacterial overgrowth, food intolerances/sugar intolerances, fungal infections of the gut etc... I personally believe that gut infections are an underlying cause of majority of the chronic health illnesses nowadays, including mental and neurological conditions. Think of things like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, memory problems and tens of others.. even autism comes with gut issues.. Just like Hippocrates said "All disease begins in the gutt". I believe he was right, at least in regard to most of the chronic illnesses.

    About the author: John Herron is a highly intelligent and scientific person, who considers himself a meta-researcher and let me tell you - he is doing a great job. Everything he states in the book is backed up by scientific studies, so if you are a sceptic type of person, you will not get dissapointed by any baseless claims.
    John Herron also has a group on facebook, where he is supporting all members with his advice. I offered him payment for his advice, but he never accepted it. It is clear to me that he is passionate about helping others.

    Highly recommended read!

    If you have any gut issues this is the book to read and own! I have SIBO and spent endless confusing and frustrating hours and days researching and trying to work out the best way to tackle my issues. John Herron has brought together all the myriad of threads into one fantastic resource, with links to the published medical research behind the ideas and protocols suggested. An invaluable buy! I bought the kindle version to start and was so imporessed i bought the hard copy also.

    John sorted his own health issues out so is the voice of experience as well as immense knowledge on the subject.

    VERY Highly reccommended.

    useful and well referenced compared to the usual utter tripe in this field. It is, though, highly repetitive - a lot of paragraphs/sentences are repeated, word for word, in numerous places. Rather patronising if the reader is educated. Its a short book - with better editing this would be about 40 pages.

    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Livre très complet sur les pathologies de l'intestin et le sibo et candida en particulier.
    L'auteur explique très bien avec des mots simples (facilement compréhensible même pour les personnes non anglo-saxones) et en même temps c'est très bien documenté avec de nombreuses références scientifiques.
    En ce qui concerne le protocole, il est encore trop tôt pour savoir si cela marche sur moi, mais le fait de changer son alimentation et de prendre les bons compléments alimentaires donnent des résultats sur les selles, même si les douleur sont encore présentes.

    I've been doing research on Candida and Biofilms for years ever since i got sick and this is the first book i've found that is so comprehensive, accurate, and scientifically backed.
    It's refreshing to see someone with so much knowledge about candida biofilms put this important information into a easy-to-read and well laid out format.
    I'm feeling excited and hopeful to begin the protocol and i have a feeling i'll be re-reading this incredible resource many times over!
    I especially love how John Herron has taken all the scientific lingo that i struggled to understand while i was researching in years past, and put it into layman's terms. So much easier to understand, even with my brain fog.
    I'm already learning so much more than i thought i already knew and i'll be telling my Functional Medicine Doctor all about it at my next visit!
    I'll be sure to post another review once i've gone through the protocol and come out on the other end, with a shiny healthy gut. :)
