On Day 7 of “Absolute Healing,” aired on Jan. 9, Jonathan Otto and leading health practitioners are urging a paradigm shift from treating symptoms to addressing root causes, with the human gut microbiome taking center stage as the critical battlefield for chronic disease and overall wellness. Otto featured doctors including Bill Code, Edward Group and Andrea Nazarenko, where they challenged the long-dominant germ theory and emphasizes the body’s “terrain.”
Group, a prominent detoxification specialist, framed the issue starkly. “Let’s stop treating the symptoms. Let’s start treating the root cause of the issues,” he stated. He likened internal neglect to external hygiene, asking, “People clean their homes, they take a shower on the outside of their body every day. Why are we not cleaning and showering the inside of our bodies every single day?”
The experts identify a compromised gut as a primary root cause. Group’s protocol focuses on deep intestinal cleansing, citing a historical solution inspired by Nikola Tesla. “Toward the end of Tesla’s life he said, ‘In the future, all disease is gonna start in the gut and all health is gonna begin in the gut,'” Group shared. His recommended method uses an oxygen-based cleanser designed to liquefy compacted waste, followed by specific probiotics and aloe vera to repair the “gut microbiome.”
This microbiome, an ecosystem of trillions of microbes, is now understood as essential for physical and mental health. Nazarenko, a community psychologist, explained that this internal ecosystem thrives on diversity from whole foods and suffers from processed ingredients. “We could fool our eyes to thinking something’s food, but we can’t fool our gut,” she said, advocating for a Mediterranean-style diet rich in varied, seasonal plants and fiber.
Nazarenko directly linked gut health to mental states, noting the brain-gut connection. “When we see non-diverse gut microbiome, it’s directly linked to many mental illnesses including depression, anxiety.” This connection is bolstered by the fact that a significant majority of the body’s serotonin and dopamine are produced in the gut.
The discussion also turned to practical recovery and reversal of chronic conditions. Code, an anesthesiologist who has managed multiple sclerosis for decades, shared his personal regimen and clinical observations. He emphasized dietary change, noting that a third of people will do better on a gluten-free, dairy-free diet, potentially resolving issues from depression to arthritis.
For mitochondrial support, key in addressing long COVID and spike protein-related issues, Code recommended three core supplements: CoQ10, acetylcarnitine and D-ribose. He also advocates for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and time-restricted eating to stimulate autophagy, the body’s cellular cleanup process. As noted by BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which significantly increases oxygen levels in the blood to promote healing and repair damaged tissues.
Most compellingly, Code testified to seeing severe chronic diseases reversed through these foundational principles. “Crohn’s, colitis, MS, traumatic brain injury, the list goes on and on,” he said, adding the outcomes are “much better than I previously did as a regular physician.”
The experts collectively dismantled the notion of passive patienthood. Nazarenko criticized the pandemic-era narrative for creating “a feeling that we are incapable of healing ourselves.” Instead, they championed empowerment through diet, environment and lifestyle. Code concluded with a caution about over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, noting, “each drug’s got a risk/benefit ratio and if you’re more than 2, it’s anybody’s guess what the interaction and problems will be.”
The episode’s conclusion reinforced that healing is accessible. “You can completely reclaim your health and life without pharmaceuticals,” Otto stated. “And it’s entirely possible to live a disease free life.” This message positions gut health not as a niche concern, but as the essential first step in a journey toward sustainable wellness and disease reversal.
