Probiotics and their effect on all mental illness

[Guest guest]

Allen, good post but I can show that your reasons (#1 antibiotics

and #2 chlorine) are not the biggest contributors to bowel

dysbiosis or to mental illness.

 

#1 cause of bowel issues should read -- " a deficiency of

prebiotic food for probiotic bacteria. " This deficiency will

guarantee chronic dysbiosis even in the absence of chlorine or

antibiotics, and the antibiotic will only aggravate it. Neither

antibiotics and chlorine will not subvert a healthy bowel ecology

by very much; indeed, inulin, a food ingredient that is deficient

in the modern diet, has been used to cure (and of course prevent)

antibiotic-associated diarrhea when added back in in normal

(historic) dietary amounts.

 

#2 missed the fact that chlorinated water is absorbed before it

has any effect on bowel bacteria at all. It affects the uppermost

couple of feet of intestine, an area that has very little

biological activity. No argument that chlorine is bad, but not

for the reason proposed.
