The gut is a huge driver in the immune response as well as being called "the second brain". Maintaining anything related to fungus and the human body as balanced as possible is the best way to be. Fungal infections can become devastating.

Yup. The gut microbiome also control our brains in specific ways. They determine what you crave and they can make you go and eat things they need to survive.

It's quite the parasitic / symbiotic relationship.

Interesting how back in the day people thought the heart was what controlled human emotions/thoughts. In the recent past that changed to no, the brain is what controls everything. It is interesting to me how scientists are now starting to realize no, most everything plays a role. This is why things pushing any sort of universal mandatory procedures are so dangerous, no one really knows the long term effects.

I'm a Christian, and I do believe we have souls. I also view the body as the tool we use to interact with this world. When the body is damaged that limits how it can interact.

ancient greeks believed thought came from the stomach. i forget the latin term but it summarizes the idea perfectly

Can confirm. Was prescribed antibiotics like water when I was a child. Developed "asthma" and was given way more antibiotics... I remember it being a milkshake in the fridge I would drink capfuls of.

I've self diagnosed candida overgrowth probably five years back and am managing it myself. The three doctors I've talked to about it all wanted to convince me it was something else. I would try to explain but would quickly see they knew nothing about it.

COVID has forced some major changes in my life and my routine was an unfortunate casualty which I am now finally able to start rebuilding. But just before COVID I'd gotten to a point where I was 100% doing a anti-candida diet consistently for two months. I became a different person, everything got better, more energy, more social, better memory, better speech, more organized, I had will power, better sleep, better dreams,....

The annoying but is that you can eat blanched vegetables for a week but if you have one slice of cake on Sunday, you're just undoing all the work from the week because the fucking candida just comes back. It's not at all forgiving.

Far more of you guys have an overgrowth issue than you realize. I was lucky in a way that mine produced a rash.

You may benefit from the GAPS diet.

Quick read, it's very similar to the candida diet. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's why the MMR is associated with autism due to diarrhea being listed as a common side effect. It's also why fecal transplants are effective at mitigating autism.

Yes. That's what vaccines and heavy antibiotics are destroying.

What, you're against gut flora diversity, letting in the future doctor, lawyer, engineer bacteria that will be parasites to the body?

Literally, it's ANYTHING but the vaccine

What do you mean? These particular vaccines may very well contribute to the proliferation of certain fungal colonies. This is a real concern of mine.

Check this out, I made it just for you, actually.

Not just neurological diseases, but all health. It's the factory that takes in nutrients, and it's fragile.

It has to be or nutrients couldn't be absorbed. It's a delicate balancing act.

Your guts basically are kind of like a second brain

Of course it is. Never had anxiety in my entire life until I started taking probiotics

Well considering most diseases and disorders we deal with nowadays are metabolic I don't doubt it.

I posted an article here a while back talking about how the scientists have discussed the gut can revert back to stem cell status and repair itself if needed. I've had times where's my gut knew something was not right multiple times and was generally been on point more than I could count or imagine. It's true and crazy how the gut is also like a second brain.
