In various posts, I’ve explored different potential mechanisms that may play a part in the epidemic of biome alterations we have experienced in the industrialized world, including diet, formula feeding, chronic stress, and so forth. Another potential mechanism, environmental toxins, is another area of…

Over the weekend, I read a great little article about the potential applications of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in treating a huge variety of diseases.[i] Of course, we are sorely lacking in clinical trials for almost all but still, there is hope to be…

I regularly receive FB messages and emails from people asking me what probiotic or prebiotic they should be taking. If I knew the answer, I’d be rich. The answer is…no one knows. We are so at the tip of the iceberg on all this,…

As promised on Tuesday, today is the last post in my continuing propionic acid series as we wrap up not-celebrating the Biome Buzz’ official First Annual Propionic Acid week. Today’s post is about just how suspect it is for all our health. A study…

I am officially declaring this Biome Buzz’ first annual Propionic Acid Week! (Unfortunately, this is not a cause for celebration.) If you remember, propionic acid (PPA) is a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria. Ordinarily, PPA , like the other SCFAs, is great…

I first started to write about autism and propionic acid (PPA) not long after creating this blog, back in the fall of 2016. In January 2017, I described to you some of the work of Dr. Derrick MacFabe, which as particularly fascinated me for…

Back in May, 2018, I wrote about Bacteriodes fragilis (B. fragilis), a species of bacteria some strains of which are toxic, some of which are highly beneficial. The main thrust of that post was about how our immune system, when functioning properly, can recognize…

Within just a few weeks of each other, two papers have been published looking at the potential of using helminths to treat neurological conditions. Not surprisingly, both focus on the powerful anti-inflammatory effect of helminths. (For those of you new to helminths: these are…

As you know, I’ve been following the research of Dr. Derrick MacFabe for well over a decade now. I’ve described it before on this blog, several times, including this first post 2 ½ years ago – to which, if you remember, Dr. MacFabe was…
