submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
Altered gut microbiota is associated with heart attacks and strokes.

Carotenoid supplements show mixed results in...
Gut Microbes Control Allergic Disorders
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
An article in Nature Medicine in March of 2012 showed that changes in the commensal microbes in the gut or antibiotic treatment predispose people to systemic allergic diseases. The role of the basophil white blood cell in this process was found to be related to heightened allergic responses in the lung and to elevated levels of IgE antibodies.
We...

submitted by: admin on 03/24/2014
The microflora of the gut have more metabolic activity than any organ system in the human body. They live in a complex ecosystem that consists of trillions of microbes with which we live in a critical symbiosis. Studies in mice show that when they are treated with oral antibiotics their behavior can change from outgoing and curious to passive and withdrawn. As...
Gut Microflora and Colon Cancer
submitted by: admin on 04/24/2014
Studies from the Wistar Institute published in April of 2014 suggest that the microbes that make up the microflora of the intestinal tract can suppress DNA repair in the cells lining the intestinal tract and lead to colorectal cancer. It is only recently that most gastroenterologists have begun to appreciate the importance of the microflora in the gut. We...

A study from the Mayo Clinic published in the PloS ONE in June of 2012 showed that the gut microflora regulate the immune system and may be directly related to autoimmune disorders such as ulcerative colitis, and diabetes. In fact, the gut microbiome may be used as a biomarker for this predisposition and it may be possible to prevent autoimmune diseases...
H. Pylori and Salt Intake
submitted by: admin on 09/22/2013
The H. pylori bacteria is associated with ulcers and cancer. Salt intake increases the activity of the bacteria. Knowing what makes this bacteria grow is important.

Using aggressive...
