As Yaelle may agree this is fascinating stuff. Thanks so much for posting. I work hard to make sure I keep the bad bacteria out of my bod and insure the good dominates. I also eat very well in a way that supports this and it has helped tremendously in many areas.

Is there a cliffs note version?

Go read up on GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome). It’s all about gut flora and healthy GI tracts. Many auto-immune disorders can be traced to poor gut health.

Here’s one study that threw me for a loop. I have MS and am and have been very probiotic and diet aware. Then awhile ago this study was published, and it makes one wonder if my healthy gut was a trigger (the study separates MS from other autoimmune diseases)

From the article:

“For a long time, pathogens were believed to be such external influences. According to scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried, however, it is apparently not harmful bacteria that trigger multiple sclerosis, but beneficial ones — specifically, the natural intestinal flora, which every human being needs for digestion.

The findings, published in the journal Nature, suggest that in humans with the corresponding genetic predisposition, the essentially beneficial intestinal flora could act as a trigger for the development of multiple sclerosis.”
