That is a great book. I stumbled on it about 20 years ago and it is still little known all these years later. I regularly recommend it to people, yet no one ever follows up even though the Gut-Brain Axis is not considered a fringe concept. Thank you for putting it out there! I hope more will check it out.
Good stuff Renee. When you think about the gut it's literally NEVER a factor in mainstream medicine. Your article also reminds me of the following which will rile any no virus people but it's clear to me we have a symbiotic relationship with many organisms (whatever one wants to label them) and when balance is disrupted problems arise. Lockdowns achieved that!
I guess we also have a skin micro biome and we destroy it daily with soaps, shampoos, showering/bathing too long or too often. Everything we think is good is bad! And pharma always capitalizes of course.
Absolutely. During COVID, it was striking how people suddenly went crazy for hand sanitizer. Before COVID, it was becoming widely recognized that hand sanitizers and other antibacterial soaps were overly harsh and disrupted the skin microbiome. However, I don’t believe all soap is bad.

It seems like everything Big Pharma creates destroys the natural gut microbiome. Go figure?
