I am wondering two things lately:
- First, there is debate on this forum on gut and fibers flora viewtopic.php?t=7043 and I wanted to ask a question about it.
It is said that children that have had a C-section (so they don't get their mom's flora at birth) will have a weak immune system and will get loads of infections.
Haidut and Peat also say that it increases the metabolic rate tremendously. I think people here support Jamie Cunliffe's view of the immune system so it seems that getting a higher metabolic rate will make the immune system stronger?
Is it true that people without gut flora have weaker ability to fight bacteria and viruses? I'm asking that because I have some kind of strange flu since 2 weeks now whereas before when I was not Peating (the dumb fruitarian 80/10/10 thing) I didn't get any infections for almost 2 years.
Also it is said that these people will be more prone to yeast infections and parasites because they won't have the first line of defense against them.
I was wondering if that was really worth it (getting a sterile gut) for people that don't need to regenerate themselves after long time illness (not my case, I'm coming from really farso ready to do anything that will raise my metabolism) as it seems that only gram negative bacteria are producing endotoxins, so what would be the problem with others bacteria? Guys following this paradigm, how is your immune system compared to before?
Personally I can't eat any starches now without getting a flu 1 or 2 hours after eating it.
And what about the paradigm that viruses don't exist?
Could you please elaborate on this? This is a really interesting topic so...
It seems to me that we are going toward a sterile gut flora for most of us and overcoming that immunity issue with the raw carrot, cascara, vitamin K2, charcoal and methylene blue but what about yeast and parasites?
- Secondly, it seems that PUFAs break down into prostaglandins that are needed IIRC from what mainstream nutrition say to signal when there is a damage in a tissue (inflammation) so that the body repair it. Do your wounds repair well with PUFA depletion and isn't there a risk of developing conditions like hemophilia if we get a prostaglandin defficiency (is there still some prostaglandin without PUFA consumption)?
