How the Gut Matters for Everything & New Strategy

Gut problems are deep and this why you should not give up even if you have tried 20 probiotics and nothing works.

What the gut does through good bacteria and yeast:
1. Digests food
2. Produces nutrients through fermentation
3. Good bacteria kill bad bacteria
4. Good bacteria communicate with the immune system’s white blood cells where to attack.
5. Renew the gut lining to prevent toxins leaking into the body creating a toxic, immune compromised, allergenic, or autoimmune condition.

These functions encompass basically everything to do with nutrition since nutrients are the energy to do everything.
Gut health is central to immunity of which 80% is centered around the gut, the intestines.
Disruption to these functions can contribute to any symptom and disease condition and you can research your own details. There is no point to creating a list of every condition that could be concerned as it is all of them.
Regenerating the microbiome of the gut is to boost your body’s healing and energy production.

I consider probiotics a nutrient. Let’s look at why probiotics deficiency is severe and affects nearly everyone especially in modern countries with more antibiotics.

• Direct use of antibiotics for infection can wipe out entire crucial beneficial bacteria.
• Indirect antibiotics in food of animals can keep working when you eat them.
• Toxins off all kinds like glyphosate can kill good bacteria.
• Bottle feeding babies does not contain all the good probiotics of mothers’ milk.
• C section delivery misses some inoculation provided by normal birth.
• Generation depletion from mothers lacking all that is needed
• Low carb or carnivore diets without prebiotics fibers and sugars can be a problem. These diets frequently succeed, but sometimes only in the short run. I don’t argue about general diets. You have to figure it out for yourself. I already said diets should be highly customized. I use energetic testing to help decide faster than just experimentation.

Cross cultural studies suggest that lower use of antibiotics leads to better health outcomes. I strongly suspect that is why African long distance runners have dominated world championships on their high carb diets with all the nutrients being digested and fermented for energy.

Antibiotics are especially hard on the small intestine, upper GI tract, that can completely wipe-out key species of bacteria. I don’t want to go into detail, that becomes book length fast and “just give me an example” turns into “should I buy that one?” This is a strategy session, not a shopping consultation.

SIBO or small intestine bowel overgrowth is a diagnosis when probiotics deficiency gets bad.
Also, SIFO, small intestine fungal overgrowth.
The phrasing of the problem is that it is primarily an infection.
In fact, it is the killing of the good bacteria that creates this condition. Good bacteria can actually kill bad bacteria.
Strategy should always include probiotics even if all you have tried didn’t work.
You can’t just kill an infection and expect it not to grow back.
The third part of a solution is the immune system (army of white blood cells) that no one seems to believe in anymore.

Some consequences and benefits:

Good bacteria in the small intestine help recycle bile back into the liver so that there is enough to bind toxins and move them out. Without enough, toxins can damage the gallbladder. Liver and GB conditions depend on gut health.
Low bile flow contributes to constipation as what initiates peristalsis.

Good bacteria ferment resistant starches into short chain fatty acids like butyrate that is the major energy source for the colon that restores regularity. Butyrate is also a multifaceted hormone like substance with roles all over the body. I have had detox reactions in my brain from butryrate foods, which no one ever explained.

Bacteria produce manyvitamins from B1 to B12, beta carotene, vitamin K. etc.
Thiamine is especially important with so many roles: there are four classifications for its deficiency diseases called “beri beri” for “can’t do it” in Japanense, the original chronic fatigue diagnosis.
Thaimine (B1) is especially important for digestion and forming stomach acid so digestion improves immediately. Food sources are necessary, too, and it’s much better to look up foods high in B1 as supplements often don’t work and frequently make people feel worse. Few people are trying to get enough from food because they are too lazy to look it up—beri beri.

Allergies to all kinds of foods especially prebiotic plant sugars and fibers because you don’t have the good bacteria to digest and ferment them.

Bad or imbalanced bacteria produce many endotoxins like LPS lipopolysaccharides that create damage all over the body, especially with a leaky gut that can’t contain them. Then there is a need to support detox organs like the liver even further.

Any health problem can relate back to lack of nutrients from the gut. Like leaky vessels and capillaries creating ankle edema. It was once thought to be a problem of the protein albumin deficiency due to leaky kidneys or lack of synthesis in the liver. Now it is known to be a problem of the vessel layer called the glycocolayx which involves cholesterol sulfate and proteins including sulfur that may be derived from proteins like methionine. I’ve written recently on edema and leaky capillaries. The gut makes proteins available for healthy organs.
