Persistent
(Gut) Microbes: Gut Health.htm
Many
gut microbes are persistent:
- They
have pleomorphic forms/spores (blebs, cysts, dormant forms) that are
resistant to single antibiotics
- They
invade blood (RBCs, T-cells, WBCs, immune cells) and body cells (endothelial and/or epithelial) hide out,
change immune function both up & down, and replicate.
- Cell Invasion Picture: http://www.kegg.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?category=Clostridium%20difficile&mapno=05100
- Some
gut microbes can cross the blood brain barrier.
- Candida
and other GI microbes cause leaky gut allowing food molecules to cause
allergies.
- Allergic
reaction depletes ascorbic acid (AA), causing scurvy, high oxidant/histamine levels, making
you ill.
- Your
need for AA and all other vitamins is greatly increased, but gut
malfunction reduces intake.

Gut
Statistics:
Gut is responsible for biological molecule intake, production.
or conversion
Human body contains 1014 cells and gut contains
1015 microbes.
Some strains of gut bacteria produce toxins and harmful
enzymes.
Genes
and recipes active in the gut:
Genes are molecular recipes used by cells and microbes to
make bioactive molecules.
Estimated that 300 to 1000 different microbial species live
in the gut. ~99% are anaerobic.
Number of different genes in gut is perhaps 100 times
greater than the complex of the human genome.
Beneficial
GT Folk/Natural Medicine:
- Refined
carbohydrates are bad; Refined Oils are bad; Sea salt is not bad. Virgin
cold-process, saturated, tropical oils are good.
- Olive
Leaf Extract is antiviral, antibacterial antifungal, anti-protozoal.
- Many
foods of earlier evolution stage no longer eaten, most of these are
antimicrobial. (Antimicrobial
Foods)
- Sea
salt and ascorbic acid (AA), for Gut infections. ( MD
Junction Thread)
- Sea
salt and AA is quick cure for UT infections when antibiotics fail. (Earthclinic)
- Epsom
salt (Magnesium sulfate) a sprinkle as a dietary supplement for arthritis
pain. (EarthClinic Blog)
- Pickled
white onions, contains salt and vinegar
are quick cure for UTI.
(Case History UTI)
- Ascorbic
acid: 2-4 grams every 4 hours for 2-4 days kills measles in gut. (Klenner)
- Coconut
Oil: Lauric acid converts to monolaurin in the gut, dissolves microbes
membranes.
- You
should eat several tablespoons of cold processed natural coconut oil every
day. The lauric acid in coconut
oil is a powerful microbicide to keep the gut healthy. It has cured babies of congenital HIV
infections. (Enig)
- Palm
Oil: Palmitic acid is a precursor of surfactant in lungs,
Palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidyl-glycerol (POPG), that attacks RSV and
mycoplasmas in COPD. See: (COPD
Countermeasures)
- Vinegar:
sterilizes the gut. 3T in 6oz water 3x per day, incessantly, kills AIDS
virus in gut. HIV in blood goes to zero.
Might work for chronic live vaccine caused measles infection in
ASD. Also use AA as above, see Klenner quote.
- Papaya/Bromelain
enzyme is anti worm, anti
bacterial
- Serapeptase
enzyme dissolves dead protein and injured tissues, helps keep lung mucus
flowing.
Reboot the gut
If your gut is malfunctioning and you suffer from the
effects of accumulated microbial invasions with colonies living in the gut,
they you may benefit with cleaning out and repopulating the gut microflora.
Empty with gut cleanout chemicals used in gut exam. Over the
counter at your local Pharmacy. Follow
the directions.
Cleanse with vinegar in water, Sea salt and ascorbic acid,
and/or tea.
Take several tablespoons of this salad dressing : Virgin olive oil plus coconut oil and
vinegar plus salad dressing herbs
(oregano, basil, garlic, parsley, powdered ginger) and several teaspoons of sea
salt.
Repopulate with: Yogurt, Buttermilk, Kefir, Doogh probiotics
Maintain by eating: Yogurt, Kefir/Doogh, Fermented pickles,
olives, Sauerkraut or cabbage culture
For Travelers diarrhea: While loose, stay up and drink lots
of tea: black and green. Natural flush
for hours. In the morning you should be
clear. Worked for me in China where
they have lots of hot water and lots of tea.
Doogh
recipe: plain yogurt, milk, parsley powder, garlic powder, pennyroyal,
mint dried powder, salt, black pepper, pureed cucumber, fermented. Served over
ice, water/seltzer water.
Fermented Sauerkraut
Recipe: Make your own. Illustrated PDF on how to do it.
Other microbes are persistent and not specifically
associated with the gut

HHVs invade mucosal, nerve and
other epithelial cells, invade immune (blood/immune) cells, down regulate
immunity and affect inflammation.
Research is currently ongoing conditions related to the herpes viruses
as a co-factor along with certain co-located bacteria. Either as a colony of infected cells or both
infecting the same target cell.

Gut
Microbes and Lecithin
Certain gut microbes make molecules that prdispose to
obesity, metabolic syndrome, and heart disease. Recent findings are the result of an emerging science of microbe genetics,
and molecule-making/modifying capabilities.
Certain microbes process lecithin to produce TMA which is converted to
TMA oxide (TMAO) in the liver. TMAO raises
the HDL cholesterol (supposed to be good) but also induces the more rapid
growth of atherosclerotic plaques.
