Dr. Brant Larsen, DC is a very informed Dr and gives very simple lectures on many subjects this one is good worth a watch.

Clear concise presentation by Larsen...I like short videos!

Emphasis on compromised "gut barrier" a hot topic.

Science Magazine's March 9 feature "Intestinal Barriers Protect Against Disease" (behind a paywall unfortunately) cites causes of "leaky" cell-cell junctions contributing to inflammation and autoimmune diseases:

1. Inflammatory Bowel Disease-- Clorf106 mutation which causes barrier breakdown

2. Systemic Inflammation-- hyperglycemia can cause the gut barrier to be "leaky"

3. Autoimmune Disease-- pathogenic microbiome bacteria can cause barrier breakdown in those genetically predisposed to autoimmunity

The latter is discussed in more detail on this thread:
