Dr. M’s Seven-X Plan for Digestive Health is a comprehensive look at, and provides a holistic approach to treatment of chronic digestive diseases. A highlight of the book is that that each chapter starts with key learning points covered in the chapter and ends with scientific citations.The author lays the foundations of his plan in initial chapters by providing detailed descriptions of the underlying pillars of the plan, i.e.  abnormalities in gut bacteria, leaky gut syndrome, inflammation as well as unhealthy nutrition etc. For example, he describes not just what intestinal bacteria entail but also the many digestive and non-digestive conditions affected by dysbiosis. Likewise, he provides description of the many disorders of the gut and beyond the gut and related to leaky gut syndrome. Several chapters are devoted to what might be wrong with what we are eating in our daily diet.Author then describes in detail some of the common digestive conditions that might benefit for a specifically tailored approach of his Seven-X plan. These include acid reflux, gastroparesis, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.Finally, the author lays down the specifics of his seven dimensional plan including how to fix abnormal intestinal bacteria, how to strengthen leaky gut, and how to control unnecessary inflammation in the body along with nutritional principles to follow in your daily diet.Rather than dwelling on cumbersome and uncouth colonics, the author provides his own methodology for colon cleansing and detox that can easily be undertaken on a weekly basis. Finally, rather than providing a listing of a whole lot of supplements that can be taken, he actually provides details of what he himself takes and specifically recommends.
