Toxins, in general, can be filtered out by healthy organs. Overwhelming amounts of toxins obviously overwhelm the natural systems and cause tissue breakdown.

The thing about imbalances in the microbiome is that toxins produced by bad bacteria on a constant basis inside the body become overwhelming.

Avoid products that contain agriculture heavy products like palm oil and basically any plantation crop. Please do understand that unlike this sort of deforestation, logging for the most part is done in a sustainable way in the United States at least. In fact a lot of issues we’re having right now are due to loss of early successional habitat from the frantic tree planting done by the logging industries back in the day.

We're over 20 years in. Probably too late to for us to tell. However, anyone reading this DON'T do what we did and try to carry on as normal, or keep up social engagements, or doing things that would be enjoyable but require efforts.

Convalescence, the real thing, in adequate doses, is still the best thing to give the body's systems time and energy to mend. Sensible everything. Diet, sleep, everything. Relapses multiply the problems. Other things get broken along the way.

Its like looking after your teeth, later is too late. listen to your body. If you're not normally a lazy person it's unlikely you've suddenly turned into one.

There wasn’t? I don’t even need to read the article for that. Cesarean is done because of a physical impossibility of trying to push the baby through the vaginal canal, if it’s being done, you already do not have other options, and they do not allow you to just opt for a c section because it’s dangerous compared to regular birth.

And all the research that shows our artificial toxic environments, we created clearly effects our biological systems it’s just common sense that our biome is responsible for our condition.

I'm convinced that scientists will eventually determine all disease comes from some form of bacterial imbalance in the gut or elsewhere in the body. But it will also be explained away because drugs provide better support to the monetary system long term than fixing the actual problem.

Couldn't fit it in the title, but an interesting factor is that long-term ME/CFS patients had microbiota that looked like that of health controls. But instead they had metabolic alterations in their plasma - suggesting that changes in the microbiota may lead to long-term changes elsewhere. Also, correlation not causation, folks!

This is why our fishing seasons have been so heavily impacted. It’s a huge loss for coastal communities, both from an economic standpoint and from a cultural standpoint, especially for Tribes in our region. It’s extremely sad. I was in a conversation with an elder Alaskan Native who said that her Tribe doesn’t expect to be able to fish their traditional waters this year or possibly ever again.
