Here is where things get interesting. You’ve been taught that there are two forms of digestion, one is healthy and non-damaging, the other is hydrochloric acid digestion. In the U.S, U.K, AU, and CAN we’ve all (doctors included) have all forgotten that enzyme digestion is good and acid digestion is potentially corrosive. Enzymes are designed to gently digest food and extract its nutrition. The opposite of this highly efficient and harmless enzyme digestion is hydrochloric acid digestion, which can be so harmful to many internal systems and tissues.

You may ask: why doesn’t my body simply choose enzymes to digest my food all the time instead of allowing stomach acid to damage my health? Here’s our researched based theory: Digestive enzymes are not compatible with complicated meals (meals containing specific foods we call catalyst foods)all types of food. Yes, youYou need a broad nutritional base… Carbs, proteins, fats, oils, vegetables etc… But we can modify our meals slightly or our supplement intake and put ourselves in total control of whether we digest with enzymes or continue to torture ourselves with acid digestion.

Unintentionally, you are forcing your body to use acid digestion and flooding your entire digestive tract with acid with every meal and snack. We believe this corrodes and deteriorates the delicate valves, protective mucosal linings, and in severe cases, intestinal walls and tissues that weren’t designed for this much acid exposure. Over time we believe this leads to symptoms like bloating, gas, heartburn, acid reflux, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, and for some, diverticulitis, diverticulosis, colitis/UC, and Crohn’s.

Catalyst Foods Explained

Catalyst foods and the catalyst foods avoidance program are terms we created describing foods and food combinations that promote acid digestion.

As some of you who follow us already know, Mike’s research based theory is that our bodies are meant to digest almost all food and meals via enzyme digestion. Enzymes are “requested” by the stomach lining once it “senses” the type of food that “lands” in the stomach. With enzyme digestion, the pancreas sends enzymes appropriate to the food that was consumed and all is well. There is no flow of acid into the stomach that then trickles down the intestines wreaking havoc on everything it touches. There is no pool of acid sitting in the stomach at night bubbling up into the throat damaging sensitive tissues. It all sounds good right?

Then there is the reality of the foods we have begun to eat in industrialized countries. It is not the quality of foods that is the problem, it is the mixtures of foods. The truth is that through the years, our digestive tracts acclimated to simple hunter gather diets. Earlier humans would hunt protein and eat that, or if protein was hard to find, or fruits and roots were plentiful, they would probably gather those foods for their meals. Different foods were available at different times and different conditions.

In the last few decades, in the most “modern” countries, food is no longer grown, hunted, or gathered. It is found on supermarket store shelves and prepared for us at various restaurants. The tradition of eating either protein or carb meals with occasional violations has changed to virtually every meal is now a combination of the two. Acid digestion has become the primary method of digestion. Our bodies have to deal with acid streams 3 to 5 times per day, 365 days per year. This acid takes its toll and the price is our digestive health.

There are dozens of foods in the store that have the wrong ratio of protein to carbohydrate to allow enzyme digestion and some foods are bad “mixes” even without being “man made.” The Catalyst Food Avoidance Diet gives you a written and a simple chart that shows you exactly what 7 foods to avoid and which foods can’t be mixed in the same meal. The program is free to download on our home page.

Do yourself and your health a favor. Read the diet for free, try it for 4 to 7 days, and watch your digestive system “reset”. Imagine not having a river of acid damaging you every day.

Over 100,000 followers agree that after “white coats,” drugs, procedures, and endless pain and discomfort… this is finally “it.” This program will change the way you feel and give you back your life.
