Today’s post describes what may be a critical finding in defining at least one mechanism whereby gut microbes directly affect the brain. Those interested in developmental disorders, like autism; Parkinson’s; Alzheimer’s; chronic fatigue; etc. should pay particular attention as, according this article, this information…

I haven’t given you a Parkinson’s-and-the-biome update in several months now, and as yesterday I read a great review of the current status of our knowledge on the connection between the two, I figured it was time.[i] I am sure that most of you…

Remember last Thursday, when I wrote about the relationship of the gut bacteria to the structure and function of the brain? I mentioned in that post that, “In Western populations, Bacteroides and Prevotella species tend to dominate, with the former outnumbering the latter…

Another popular request, courtesy of the survey I ran a couple of weeks ago, was for more information on how environmental toxins may affect the human biome. I wrote about the herbicide, glyphosate (that’s found in Roundup), several months ago, and while the role…

Yesterday morning, I got a comment on the Biome Buzz’ Facebook page, in response to last week’s post on the microbiome and the basal ganglia, that said, “Could you put it more simply and tell us what to do about it? This is Facebook…

I recently read an article looking at the effects of bacterial microbiome alterations on particular circuits in the brain (the thalamo-cortico-basal ganglia) that are associated with compulsive behavior, addiction, altered sensations and motor output.[i] What struck me is how closely related seemingly unrelated disorders…

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…

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…

Two more recent article provide yet more evidence linking gut inflammation to the development of Parkinson’s disease…which my regular readers know, is another of my particular interests, as I have 3 friends already suffering from it. The first article describes research at the University…
