    Many probiotics today are formulated with specific capsules or coating designed to make it into the colon unscathed.

    Vitamin D Reduces TMAO From High-Choline Diet, Promotes Non-Atherogenic Microbiome

    The role of trimethylamine n-oxide (TMAO) in human disease has been quite controversial. The carnitine/choline in red meat and eggs had been purported to generate trimethylamine (TMA) via bacterial metabolism, which then goes on to become TMAO via the action of hepatic FMO3.

    Gut bacteria overgrowth drives (cocaine) addiction; glycine can reverse it

    Yet another study highlighting the importance of the microbiome for our health, and suggesting again that there may be no such thing as truly beneficial bacteria. Any bacteria capable of colonizing our GI tract seems to be capable of causing pathology if it is allowed to proliferate without...

    Gut bacteria causes rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...and likely all other "autoimmune" conditions

    After decades of fraudulent theories on the origins and development of RA, the study below seems to finally admit the obvious - RA is not an "autoimmune" disorder but simply the body producing antibodies to specific pathogens found mostly in the gut, which, however, have managed to translocate...

    Sterile gut leads to lower anxiety, serotonin , and TPH-levels + some bacteria don't increase serotonin

    This study says: Beyond the gut, germ free mice also display an increased turnover rate of dopamine and norepinephrine (as well as serotonin) in the brain (Diaz Heijtz et al., 2011), which could generally reduce pools in systemic circulation independent of microbial production (although factors...

    Can one course of antibiotics lead to stubborn weight gain?

    I took 2 courses of antibiotics for teeth abscess 2 months ago. I have gained weight and it won't go...it might not be related to the antibiotics but I wonder if it is. And also why does Peat suggest antibiotics when there is lots of research demonstrating that antibiotics cause weight gain?

    Slow Digestion Is Good? A Symptom Of Antibiotics

    I recently took antibiotics for the first time (amoxicillin) and the effect has been extremely positive. One of the main improvements was hunger. My hunger is much deeper and more consistent. Another thing I noticed is that my bowel frequency decreased. Instead of once a day, it became...

    All Gut Bacteria Dangerous, Its Endotoxin Drives Liver Cancer; Antibiotics Cure

    As Peat has written many times, there is truly no such thing as “beneficial” gut bacteria as long as they are capable of producing endotoxin (LPS). And since most bacterial species known to colonize the gut can produce LPS when exposed to undigested food or mechanical stimulation (stretching or...

    Probiotics Are Dangerous, Should Be Regulated As Drugs

    As many forum users know, Peat has spoken against the use of probiotics and in some of his articles has even linked lactic acid producing bacteria to auto-immune conditions like such as Lupus, RA, and even MS. While recently he has been recommending a bacteriophage product from LEF, he is still...
