Or any number of others. I would just consider that your improvements mean you're headed in the right direction and that is great! It means change and improvement is possible. I wouldn't get all negative and low expectations just because everything was not better this time. lisaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360700674622979187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-65912854183383265792014-08-01T11:58:16.344-07:002014-08-01T11:58:16.344-07:00aerobic1

I worked on the development of this antibiotic but did not take it. Cipro had nothing to do with my developing GERD.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617411381392557516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-59835569333005318042014-07-21T10:27:06.288-07:002014-07-21T10:27:06.288-07:00Hi Grace,

Your insights are amazing and I know if I can keep up with you I may just be able to put my AI in remission.<br /><br />I have hashi's and a very bad gut...have been severely constipated since youth. (sent my gi effects a few months ago) I also believe my adrenals are toast so your recent reply on those being critical to gut rehab is of great interest. I've been using the protocol with prescript assist, aor and primal defense, potato flour and psyllium, with little improvement. Wondering if you could provide some guidance on where to find a proper adrenal protocol...I'm tapped out on the D.O's and naturo's..lots of tests not a lot of results unfortunately. <br />Thanks,<br />MarianneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760100757857675389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-91236224775886390532014-07-06T04:02:05.643-07:002014-07-06T04:02:05.643-07:00I had a serious psoriasis flare which threatened t...I had a serious psoriasis flare which threatened to take over my body about a year ago. I went to the doctor very reluctantly and specifically asked for an antibiotic to stop the spread. He prescribed minomycin which in a matter of days not only stopped the spread, but completely cleared my skin. I am now on the AIP pale diet which has helped tremendously with the psoriatic arthritis, but has not so far done too much for the actual psoriasis. What "bugs" would destroy the nasty bacteria that promotes psoriasis? Any speculation? I would appreciate any thoughts along these lines.

Also eating a fair amt of RS...all with the hopes of improving my crohn's. since starting the aor-3, my stools are much smaller, which is positive for me, but I have been passing a large amount of mucus. prior to the aor3 I was having several large stools daily. i've only been on 1 cap/day of the aor-3 for a month now and not sure if I should continue, reduce the dose, increase the dose? otherwise, I'm feeling good. not sure what to think of all this mucus? does anyone have any thoughts? thanks in advance!Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-20406576396579908682014-06-08T11:16:38.251-07:002014-06-08T11:16:38.251-07:00Interesting post, Grace. Having committed premedi...Interesting post, Grace. Having committed premeditated murder by way of (13) IV Lyme treatments via IPT that incorporated a cocktail Rocephin (Ceftriaxone), Tygacil (Tigecycline) and Doxycycline (similar to tetracycline), it was of little surprise the damage (decrease) I did to my beneficial flora and the increase in commensal flora.<br /> <br />When I looked at the susceptibilities of each of these antibiotics there was no beneficial strain that was not susceptible to this concoction. After many months of repopulating the gut, my latest Doctors Data Comprehensive Stool Analysis/Parasitology x 2 has improved with the exception of bifidobacterium which shows no growth (NG). I find that interesting. I have been using 50 billion CFU of Klaire Labs Ther-Biotic Complete probiotic (http://www.klaire.com/prod/proddetail.asp?id=V775-12) daily along with fermented and cultured foods but still no bifidobacterium growth is evident. Perhaps it is time for a different approach?<br /><br />I have no preconceived expectations that my microbiome will ever return to normal; whatever normal is. Through the eyes of Alessio Fasano, Jeroen Raes and others, return to a balanced flora is often difficult if not impossible to achieve.<br />aerobic1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-59718202544218218842014-06-03T20:08:18.624-07:002014-06-03T20:08:18.624-07:00Hi Grace,

Good stuff!<br /><br />Do you plan on writing a detailed posts on that other big player in the gut microbiome, yeast? I've had remission 3 times now from CFS with supplements that could affect yeast. Biotin, Super Thisilyn, and S. Boulardii. Only to relapse. I'd love to know how to pursue that.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048702867707062734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-10749203307622702352014-06-03T14:59:37.431-07:002014-06-03T14:59:37.431-07:00Mike~

Sounds like an excellent course!<br /><br />AOR, megaspore, L plantarum and many other probiotics are anti-fungal but they can only do so much with high fungal loads and resistant biofilms and low thyroid/adrenals. Body temps, gastric acidity, trypsin, etc are all vital parts of digestion that control yeasts and pathogens.<br /><br />Thanks for your reply<br />gGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654644799724316282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-20416423811427244912014-06-03T10:16:49.591-07:002014-06-03T10:16:49.591-07:00Grace –

Fat metabolism is definitely puzzling but I haven’t looked at the pancreas specifically (but certainly will now). In addition to the stool results, my recent WellnessFX testing yielded high free fatty acids (FFAs -0.81) – the culprit, high Omega 3s (11.5 index; EPA 2.7; DHA 8.8); In contrast, Omega 6 to 3 ratio and AA were both good. <br /><br />My consultant has recommended Ox Bile (125mg) to aid in fat digestion and also as part of a mold detox {2200 score: +3 => 10000 pg DNA/g specimen with methylation pathway issues} which also includes a regimen of Physphastyidyl Chorline, Lipase, Interphase Plus and Biocidin. Not sure whether mold issue would tie into fat digestion? {Additional notes: low adrenal (4pt test); low T3 w/ high T-uptake; raised Monocytes, high MCV; Viral panel pending) <br /><br />I’ve previously attempted the probiotic trio {PS, Primal Defense, AOR -3, } – Prescipt-Assist and Resistant Starch performs well; Primal Defense induces some malaise; AOR-3 is the virtual hammer, only to be trumped by MegaSpore. However, with the mold/yeast reading and/or lack of Lacto, possibly just die-off symptoms and I should press on?? Will definitely add L Plantarum 299v and report. Thanks again!

Do you think the pancreas inflamed?<br /><br />Lacto can be opportunistic -- it is higher in obese when there is dysbiosis (sibo)! Which Lacto were you considering? Have you read Mr. Heisenbug's blog? L plantarum has many gut healing properties. <br /><br />Have you heard of GCBC, good clostridia bad Clostridia? It's my book that I haven't published yet lol. You need some good Clostridia. If it was me I'd pound some AOR probiotic-3. E coli works co-op with Enterococcus which is AOR (formerly known as S. faecalis).<br /><br /><br /><br />Anon~ Yes indeed. I would too in a different world.<br /><br />Kor~ Go healthy manure and mud!

I just received by 2200 results back {entire report below} and my Clostridia was 5.9, while my Lactobacillus is very low vs. the Bifido. My advisor felt these needed to be brought back in balance and suggested stopping any Bifido and adding Lacto species along with Mutaflor. {currently on Prescript Assist and RS}..However, from what you are posting and the Bulletproof interview with Richard and Tim, the belief is that Lacto could indeed be "Fat People" bacteria.
