The researcher only mentions the gut in a single instance.
Supplements are not bioavailable without healthy gut flora.
If a person cannot convert/absorb what’s taken in, deficiency results and no amount of supplementation will change that fact.
This is the 2nd thing I’ve read today that reads like plugging a water leak with bubble gum.
I submit that the researcher is rather myopic (wrong field and/or lacking collaborating researchers) and/or ignorant of basic biological facts.
Like my damned doctor.
A valid point. Hippocrates said to look to the gut for the cause of disease. (He would be denied a Medical Degree in today’s environment.)
Many people see trees, not the forest.
To be fair, the modern use of the scientific method promotes that approach: isolating a variable, rather than looking at the whole.
The S.M. is a tool, not a god. It has limitations. I garnered my share of science awards in my academic days. I respect it; I do not worship it. (Or, to paraphrase Spock: It makes a good servant, but a bad master.)
Leaky Gut Syndrome, in my opinion, is central to all sorts of systemic conditions, including auto-immune.
Therefore, healing the gut, through fasting, and non-/anti-inflammatory diet, is key to reversing many chronic conditions.
