Wow this is a great article - the microbiome is so fascinating. This would explain a lot of what happened in my own family when infected with what we assume was Omicron. Those of us with gut issues (Celiac disease, IBS) were more severely impacted.
What would you suggest for someone with Celiac disease who wants to improve microbiome? I have tried finding rice bran but it's hard to find in my part of the world.
I am trying to reconcile my inability to get COVID with two rather strange episodes. One a 70 day cough in March 2019 which I caught in Asia and came in two waves with a slight recovery in between and did leave me with brain fog, and a 5 day diarrhoea 4 months ago as Omicron hit the UK that had no other symptoms (felt fine) just could not eat anything without it appearing an hour later. I was in quarantine so I didn't get any tests but given the prevalence of Omicron and being unvaxed I seem to be living a normal life for 3 months (office, shopping, restaurants) but nothing. Amazingly I have had two minor colds recently (the usual for me very mild 3 day affairs with a runny nose and some sneezing) which both tested negative on LF test, so its not like I am in a sterile environment. I conclude I have quite good pre-existing immunity from the first virus whatever that was and maybe some kind of intestinal covid maybe.
John Paul - a few things you wrote brought Trevor Marshall to mind. His Twitter thread since Covid has focused mostly on Ivermectin's successes and the dangers of 5G radiation. He developed a protocol for combating autoimmune conditions; one of using Olmesartan Medoxomil (Benicar) as a Vitamin D Receptor agonist to preclude/interrupt stealth pathogens from commandeering the VDR in immune cells and thereby shutting down the beta-defensins and cathelicidin front-line molecules. He added some low-dose Abx's to help "tag" the pathogens and many found great results since the early 2000 period.. He was on the Ivermectin beat very early on, as was his collaborator of years past, Amy Proal. I've got a soft-spot for the Stealth Pathogen folks having gotten a glimpse of Lida Mattman's work at Wayne State University. She presented at a Marshall Protocol event shortly before she passed in her 90's. They're all about pleomorphism, bio-films, rapid mutations and such.
Some of the nurses who worked with Marshall in the early days started an advisory service Chronic Illness Recovery. https://ci-recovery.org/key-concepts-2/ They have an extensive library for participants. You might find a call with Meg Mangin RN pretty interesting.
Sugar is inflammatory and toxic to cells in body, creates disbiosis, fatty liver, creates fermentation conditions in cells reversing Krebs cycle - the cause of cancers.
It's unhealthy to mix carbs with fats and fats are essential while carbs are completely irrelevant. Choice is obvious. Sugar breaks fast and using ketones.
Since C19 affects brain you probably want more antiinflammatory ketones in it... not less.
Fiber is also irrelevant. How did human biom and immunity worked well before lately innovation of farming? Like let's say in time of continuous for thousands years ice age?
Are you 100% your wheat bran is glyphosate and other chemical**** free?
I would love to read about effect of fasting on the sinomerican disease. As well as effects of it on full carnivores.
When early European farmers were decimated by a not just a flu somehow it didn't affect populations of herders on eurosteppe who eventually replaced majority of them in Europe. Some strains were even originated from them and their numerous cattle o guess.
How Mongols, rural Ethiopians and African hunters doing in comparison?
But I'm interested in efficiency of the old good antiplague Three Thieves too.
Damn, this is strange timing. My 12 yo, no COVID vax, had all the symptoms of COVId(including loss of taste/smell) in Feb of 2020, but at the time a pandemic had yet to be called, and the virus was considered “isolated” in China, so our PED chuckled when I asked if it could be COVID. Since then he has developed increasing symptoms of IBS, with a second COVID exposure in FEb of this year sending it to full on IBD. Family history doesn’t totally support genetic predisposition to IBD, but the timing of the COVID exposures and increase in symptoms is interesting. Any advice on how to bring this correlation up to his care team? Right now my concern is that they are doing the check list of looks like IBD smells like IBD so it is, without probing if it’s COVID dressed as IBD.
its funny how often the words toxins and polio pop up together...

Ok I will keep eating my wheat bran! No idea why I added to my nutritions long time ago.
Is it shallow to admire your Dr. Stone reference?

Very interesting, very.

Glucose and glutamine is known to feed cancer..
so I don't want any of it to consume.

thanks for great work
What is strange is positive correlation between people that used Pecid AC and lower incident of sickness.
Thanks for the great articles. As a biochemist I am fascinated with theories and herbal medicines.
