We haven't even touched on the str...@Asclepsius<br />We haven't even touched on the strong relationship of our gut flora and our immune system. the more one ponders the cascading and accumlative effects of eating bad stuff, it is no wonder why obesity, for example, has so many increased risks associated with it. the same can be said about diabetes, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis. none of these problems are isolated....they are very much related to each other.<br /><br />as i think about it, this is probably why doctors just treat each single issue independently. they are not trained to consider how everything may be related and it overwhelms them. i am just an interested onlooker without formal medical training and my head is spinning considering it all. the simple solution of eliminating neolithic food just makes so much sense and is effective in so many ways.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493123424195804149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-91924929175817287722011-04-19T09:24:00.764-04:002011-04-19T09:24:00.764-04:00@Chuck - to be honest, it kind of blew me away. I...@Chuck - to be honest, it kind of blew me away. I mean it is an an amazing example of a practical (!) solution, yet so counter-intuitive.<br /><br />I agree about the gut flora being damaged by the diet of the host. Just as we at the macro level need a suitable environment to thrive, obviously so must our beneficial gut flora. Otherwise the good stuff seemingly fails to thrive (or possibly is out populated by detrimental bacteria).<br /><br />I'd LOVE to see an experiment involving gut flora and various diets of HFCS, wheat, O6, sugar, meat etc...Asclepiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604117979253596512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-56733133878732282402011-04-19T08:20:47.594-04:002011-04-19T08:20:47.594-04:00@Asclepius

It does make me wonder if this is a band aid solution and the adverse gut flora environment would eventually come back due to bad habits of the host. I am going to have to give that podcast a listen.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493123424195804149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-57158103620842803182011-04-19T04:50:24.738-04:002011-04-19T04:50:24.738-04:00Just as we inhabit an ecological niche, so our gut...Just as we inhabit an ecological niche, so our gut flora inhabit a ecological niche within us. The complexity of life is absolutely amazing. The range and depth of dependencies and so forth are so interwoven.<br /><br />I blogged about a podcast on UK radio in which they investigated gut flora and its impact on health:<br /><br />"The idea of taking faeces from someone and transplanting it into the bowels of a loved one might sound disgusting. Medically, it might make good sense though. In fact a number of doctors have discovered that this procedure cures intestinal infections when all other treatments have failed. As Dr Mark Porter discovers, it's an illustration of the power of 'good' bacteria."<br /><br /><a href="http://naturalmessiah.blogspot.com/2011/03/shit-is-paleo-right.html" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a link to the article and the radio program:Asclepiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604117979253596512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-59660128198162991912011-04-19T04:47:40.701-04:002011-04-19T04:47:40.701-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Asclepiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604117979253596512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-22689662527797725622011-04-18T18:30:54.335-04:002011-04-18T18:30:54.335-04:00@MAS I really believe that something happens when ...@MAS I really believe that something happens when you eat right and become healthy. the body starts to normalize and perform like it should.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493123424195804149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5957421587531364948.post-36502688573426236122011-04-18T15:15:03.912-04:002011-04-18T15:15:03.912-04:00I've been thinking more about your metabolism ...I've been thinking more about your metabolism comment.
