    C. Difficile Gut Infection Or Even IBD May Be Due To Low Vitamin D Or PPI Drugs

    As the study says, the direct cause is high intestinal levels of calcium but as the study also says these are usually due to poor calcium absorption. And unless a person has IBD (which is rare) the low vitamin D status or PPI drug (GERD) use stand out as the most likely causes, even more so...

    Serotonin Production In The Gut Is Fully Controlled By Microbiome

    A year and a half ago I posted about a study which found that serotonin production in the gut depends on the bacteria living in the colon. Serotonin Production (gut) Depends On Bacteria At the time, the study was considered controversial as the role of microbiome in serotonin production was...

    Changes In Thiamine Levels May Be The First Sign Of Type I Diabetes

    The study is focusing on the fashionable topic of "microbiome analysis", which is most likely a fad that won't lead to any breakthrough cures. However, the important finding of the study is that changes of vitamin B1 (thiamine) levels are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Sudden drop in...

    CFS Pathology Tied To Increased Blood Levels Of Endotoxin

    After more than a decade of denial that the "mysterious" condition CFS even exists as a physiological state, mainstream medicine may be warming up to the fact that it is not simply in patients' heads. This latest study found changes in patients' microbiome as well as elevatd levels of endotoxin...

    "Natural" Gut Flora May Cause Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Lupus

    I must have gotten over 500 emails over the last year angrily reproaching me for talking negatively on the Danny Roddy shows about the "beneficial" gut flora in humans. I even got a few angry phone calls from actual MD professionals saying that the "science" behind beneficial effects of the...

    Sterilizing The Gut With Antibiotics Reverses Obesity

    From a study in the Nature Today journal: University of Geneva researchers reported that animals without intestinal microbiota had better glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, less white fat and lower body mass. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) promotes a lean and healthy phenotype and improves...

    Schizophrenia Also Linked To Gut Dysfunction

    The latest study to link yet another chronic condition to problems with the microbiome (gut bacteria). One thing that pointed researchers in this direction is the fact that the antibiotic minocycline (which Ray Peat frequently recommends for gut problems) greatly reduces symptoms of...

    Gut Bacteria Found To Be A Causal Factor In Obesity

    The part I find interesting is that the study claims that improved nutrient uptake caused by certain bacterial strains is actually causing obesity. Ray seems to imply the exact opposite - i.e. we want nutrient uptake to be as high as possible so that by the time the digested food reaches the...

    Parkinson Disease May Start In The Gut

    Very much in line with Peat's teachings that fixing gut health is the key to improving virtually all metabolic conditions mediated through endotoxin, NO, food toxins, etc. http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article ... rengthened http://link.springer.com/article/10.100 ... 014-1343-6

    Autism linked to gut dysfunction

    If true, this will be very ironic as the medical establishment condemned HIV discoverer Luc Montagnier for his statements that autism is tied to gut dysfunction and can sometimes be successfully treated with antibiotics. In addition, the study provides some confirmation of Ray's writings that...

    Vitamin B6 protects the gut from stress-induced damage

    Stress-induced ulcers are a common issue anywhere in the world where the environment is primed for instilling learned helplessness in people. It looks like vitamin B6 (again, the cheap pyridoxine hydrochloride salt) can help. Furthermore, it looks like B6 may have more general anti-stress action...

    Delaying/blocking Tryptophan Absorption In Gut

    Ray hinted in some of his email correspondence that BCAA competes with tryptophan for uptake not only in the brain but in cells throughout the body. I have been searching for studies confirming that and it seems I found some. They are attached to this email. Long story short - for every unit...
