Thanks for posting GH! - That was a neat video.

When I'm done with all this business - I'll be looking for a fecal transplant donor. The Hazda might be a trek too far but I do believe we can and will get this entire mess turned around. And my gut is telling me it all starts in the G U T.

Its a very interesting topic and maybe the future of medicine that helps us rather than harms.

One thing I have learned that is hinted at in the article (until the gent from Duke U totally misses the point and misleads with his theory of fat consumption) is that you don't want to peel all of the skin off of your veggies as much of the good probiotics tend to come from the soil and clings to the veggies and fruits we eat.

Lightly washing fruits and veggies is fine but over cleaning and peeling them is self defeating.

Just as you do not need starter culture to make sauerkraut is proof that our veggies come with these microbes.

For this reason we juice oranges as the skins contain a little bit of dirt containing the good microbes that end up in the juice. When you buy juice at the store it has often been pasteurized and devoid of the good bacteria (and good fungus also).

I believe this is the best way to restore your beneficial intestinal flora.

Oh and on flora donors, I have read that if it comes from a fat donor, you too may get fat. Also if the anaerobic bacteria in the fecal matter is mixed exposing it to air, it will die and you will not benefit as much as you would have if you did not mix air into the sample.

If there are parasites present in the donor stool, guess what will also happen. I believe we should probably deworm once annually using Ivermectin and Albendazole or the like. I do now and I make sure my family does also (I use mebendazole for the family). There is a reason these are not given to us and its not because they are dangerous.

Not all fermented foods are going to be good for all. If it makes you feel bloated or sick, you should avoid it for now and maybe try again later after you have done the unwashed of lightly washed raw veggie thing for a while.

Some commercial probiotics have been altered and are not going to be beneficial to you.

I remember growing up - having to take some kind of 'worm medicine' every now and again.

Don't hear of that anymore. Never gave any to our son when he was growing up.

Its a lost art in humans. The US has the opinion that it has eradicated all parasites. I highly doubt this but say it enough times and people believe it is true.

I believe these deworming medicines are able to cure conditions where a parasite is at the root of the problem and that is why we are not granted access to them.

There may be some concern that resistance will develop if given to the widespread population and then these will no longer work for the elite who are granted access.

I believe this is why you cant get diethylcarbamazine (D.E.C.) in the US.

Just look at the prices of these antihelmintic meds like Alinia (Nitazoxanide) in the US . This reveals who they are reserved for. Yet I can get it for 25 cents per pill from an overseas pharmacy.

My brother recently got prescribed a bunch of them from a caring doctor who heard that I made great progress with the Klinghart antihelmintic protocol. It will cost $9000 for one month supply if he fills it at a pharmacy in the US.

Most docs will give you the antibiotic to kill the bacteria that the worm is producing but this wont get at the root and you will have to come back for more antibiotics later. Yet they are trained to look at you funny if you mention parasites (unless you have travelled abroad).

Heck even the antibiotics are now getting limited and the propaganda pushed that short term are as or more effective.

Deworming is still recommended to keep your livestock healthy, but that is because there is no 'health' system for livestock. No revenue is made by keeping them sick and coming back for more.
