We live in a world that is being more and more sterilized every day.
Much of it is being done under the pretense that it’s the healthy thing to do.
If you watched the episode about gut health, you’ll want to see this. It turns out that we’re only adding to an ever-growing gut problem, and we’re not just talking about the size of the waistline!
ALL THIS HYGIENE IS MAKING US SICK! You’ll want to stick around for this one. It’ll make you think twice the next time you run for that Lysol spray.

The second speaker gave some good specifics and how to buy supplements. His company called organixx cannot claim a totally organic supplement simply because there are no capsules which enclose the element can be called organic even though the compound inside makes 93% organic. Combing a few ingredients can be synergistic and cheaper than buying individual bottles. Pepper is often used to help absorb but it actually inflames the stomach so for an every day supplement like turmeric which often combines it might be too irritating. Turmeric with vitamin C may be better.
The interview with Kiran Krishnan is interesting. It's sobering what he has to say about probiotics and how few actually contain what is claimed on the label. Good content.
I'll watch but last night (for me it was night) I caught the bonus episode and she talked about their probiotic guaranteed to get to the intestines and then start working. It's called Just Thrive endospores which has a natural coating and gets through the acid in your stomach.
I just checked the product at Amazon and it's $50 but it includes K2 which she said many have a deficiency, plus magnesium. One reviewer mentioned Krishnan but the bonus I watched was with a woman but I think she must be related. Well, I'll find out after I watch it.
I'm not clear on why there are two different products. It appears both are blends of Bacillus spores. MegaSporeBiotic includes one additional, Bacillus licheniformis.
I'd like to figure this out. The woman said they found this bacteria in the soil and decided to patent? it. Yes, a blend of four. His Megaspore is only sold by practitioners he said and I remember during a thyroid summit I think or maybe Broken Brain (which I don't know what happened to the rerun) of Betrayal, they were recommending Megaspore. That was a couple of years ago.
Leaky gut means the epithelial layer that lines the gut opens and allows microbes or molds to pass through. This begins a cascade response from immune cells and they are calling it metabolic endotoxemia. inflammatory markers went up as well. They did a study with 100 college students using the probiotic and 60% were improved.
I like the idea of a drop of essential oil on a pad and just water to clean counters or anything.
I've taken it upon myself to put a few drops of essential oil on a wash cloth and put it in the dryer with the wash instead of smelly fabric softeners. And the use of E cloths has made cleaning so much easier with fewer chemicals.
Does that use Thyme? I think Seventh Generation might but I don't care for the smell. I like lemongrass. Clove is very antibacterial for an oil. Melaleuca uses tea tree oil. Wonderful products but with an E cloth you need nothing.
The third speaker was talking about folic acid. We know it is synthetic and this man says because he sells b vitamins that folic acid sells for $15/kelo but 5-mth......methylfolate costs $10,000/kelo.
What I am saying is that the ingredient cost of methylfolate tablets is still only a very small fraction of the retail cost.
Most significantly, the difference between the prices of folic acid and methylfolate tablets (or whatever other form) is many times the difference in the ingredient cost, if it is as you reported.
Oh, yes, the synthetic is so cheap by comparison especially for the person buying it. I don't know how they derive folate or where but this whole program makes you aware of what you are often buying when it's a discount.
The more disfigured our food becomes the more we are going to need supplements which are hopefully better. Most of the interviews are with scientists with intriguing stories of how they began. They seem very sincere and I find them a valuable source of information.
Delta Tocotrienols The third speaker is excited about a new supplement that is helping with ovarian cancer. Amazing results from testing. This comes from vitamin E. He is going on and on with other benefits, fatty liver, blood sugar, osteoporosis because it supports the cell wall membrane and almost every scientist has brought up the problem of degradation in the cell membrane. He takes 600 mgs but suggests on 300 mg or less. He gives it to his dog so you know he thinks it's safe! Cancer trial people took much higher doses. Always a good idea to have a functional doctor's advice.
It's great to hear about a supplment that might be beneficical, but also frustrating when there isn't enough evidence to support the claims or give guidance on safe, effective dosage. I tried to find studies that addressed proper dose and I came upon the ovarian cancer study he referred to. The ovarian cancer patients participated in a phase II clinical trial and took 900 mg/day divided into 3 doses. But they were also taking bevacizumab (Avastin). I'm all for anything that will help with ovarian cancer treatment, but that was a bit misleading. (unless I'm misrmembering and he made that clear) sciencedirect.com/science/a...
Wrt to his claim about osteoporosis, most of the research is animal studies, although there is an interesting study The Role of Tocotrienol in Preventing Male Osteoporosis - A Review of Current Evidence with good information and references. NB: they refer to tocotrienols as T3, which can be a bit distracting for thyroid types.
Getting dose right is important. Most vitamin E supplements contain alpha tocopherols, a different variety of vitamin E, and this study found that "... αTF may have a dual role in bone health, whereby in the appropriate doses it is beneficial but in high doses it may be harmful to bone."
The osteoporosis in men was interesting especially this: However, studies revealed that most bone fractures occur in patients with osteopenia rather than those with osteoporosis.
That doesn't seem to make sense but I'm sure there is some as the body always has a reason.
You can buy the T3 without tocopherols probably for the reason it may harm bone.
I had begun checking that out on Amazon and iHerb but was surprised to find it. An interesting discussion at the beginning of episode 9 with Jeff Hays brought up the fact that the supplements were often sold only through a practitioner. Well, it turns out they said that the one from the practitioner will be a superior product in some ways. We'll probably never know but maybe more potent.
It is becoming more difficult to make decisions, isn't it? I like Jay Davidson and yet there are several, more than several, others who have also been convincing. How do you choose? 🤔🤔🤔
Oh, another rule during that summit was that they were not to try to sell their own products. In fact they had to dismiss a number of interviews because so many crossed the line. That's probably why we didn't get more specifics.
I think we can assume the dosage on the label is what they recommend since they came up with the formula, don't you think? I see that is what is on the Delta formula. Well, sort of , one has 150 and one says 300 and that's what he takes. Yes, cancer studies are too complex for a patient to determine how helpful. The are so many components for a tumor to deveop. I'm convinced as someone said it is the last stage of autoimmune disease.
The T3 ??? seems to inhibit new blood vessels which clearly is essential to beating back cancer and to a scientist this would be like finding the pot of gold. I think as humans we seek a whole lot more progress before opening the champagne. I understand your frustration.

Is there a cure for Hashimoto's? 
L-Glutamine, friend or foe for undiscovered tumours? Indigestion feeling in throat, other supplements I could try?
