It’s the last week of the year, so it’s time for the inevitable yearly round-up posts! There’s a good article on Gut Microbiota for Health summarizing some of the major microbiota scientific breakthroughs this year.[i] Of course, you read it first here on The… Continue Reading “Top Biome News Stories of the Year, Part 1”

Many times on this blog (look here and here, as just 2 examples), I’ve looked at research regarding the relationship of what is currently consumed as food in the industrialized world and its relationship to gut disease. The increase in the rate of inflammatory… Continue Reading “Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, the Microbiome and Sugar: Yet More on the Importance of Diet”

For today, a SUPER interesting paper out of the University of Utah, about how endocannabinoids, signaling molecules of our bodies that “look like” chemicals found in marijuana, can help us fight gut infections.[i] This would finally explain why cannabis (the plant from which marijuana… Continue Reading “Endocannabinoids as a Treatment for Gut Infections?”

Twice ever, I have gotten to write about archaea, some of the least studied members of the human biome. These sort-of bacteria (they are kind of like bacteria but their cell walls are different and they have no defined nucleus) are actually pretty remarkable… Continue Reading “More on How Little We Know About Archaea”

Several months ago a very dear friend of mine had a cancer relapse. Coincidentally, I had been doing a little reading about new ideas surrounding cancer, including the causes and the treatment, and it turned out that my friend had been doing the same,… Continue Reading “More on the Circadian Rhythm of the Gut Bacteria…and Its Relationship to Melatonin”

I found a bunch of new research on helminths and will, over the next month or so, make my way through the papers. I wanted to share first an article just published by researchers in Australia (where some of the best hookworm (Necator americanus)… Continue Reading “Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes: Helminths May Hold the Answers”

I’ve been keeping an eye out for anything new and interesting in the realm of the biome and arthritis – any kind of arthritis. Following are some highlights from a recent article on the two way communication between the gut immune system and the… Continue Reading “Inflammatory Arthritis and the Gut”
