Very interesting! Have you guys ever heard of Helminthic therapy? I’m soon about to embark on a personal trial of this. Lots of good studies regarding it, especially in Australia. It’s basically infecting (? maybe not the right word!) yourself with hookworms, the idea being that we’ve evolved with these and due to modern sanitation/diet we have eliminated them from our bodies and this may be the reason for all the auto immune diseases that abound these days.
This is really great information - first off thank you for sharing it. I have 2 questions: First, if we want to test our own gut to see how much "diversity" we have, do you have any recommendations for which tests are best? In other words, how can I get more objective information on how my gut is doing? Second question: from my own personal experience, I believe that when I fast, my gut does a bit of house cleaning, and they get things "back in line" somehow. I'm new to this forum, but I wonder if you have any background or data on any things related to fasting and how it impacts gut health. Thank you!!
