Wow! News to me!!! ;)

Yeah gut flora is important. This is why I do yeast cleanses and take an excellent probiotic. Really helps with many things. Something tells me the general obese person though is not caring for oneself in such away that they take probiotics and stay away from high glucose sugar long enough to do a yeast cleanse.

There’s a lot of research being done on gut flora that is leading to some very interesting data. Including some stuff done on insulin regulation and diabetes.

The more you eat, the harder the liver has to work. Smoking or drinking in concert with it only makes it that much worse. You’re talking about liver cancer, however, not liver failure. Although I am no food Nazi, there is a definite danger from obesity however you look at it. A co-worker of mine, who I sometimes said half-jokingly was a time-bomb, spent his last days in and out of consciousness while his liver failed.

Interesting, we drink homemade kefir with our raw goats milk and in the last couple of months also started brewing kombucha. Maybe we have all our microbe bases covered.

Kefir and kombucha are great places to begin. The real issue is the immune system. In a nutshell all those bad bugs in our gut and in our mouths are causing the immune system to work real hard on a daily basis to control those issues leaving little energy to attack things like cancer.

Gut bugs?
I understand how to gut a fish, but how does one gut a bug?

I believe they do, we are novices and have not researched it as much. We make a gallon a week using green tea and than after it’s brewed and done we add some dried blueberries to flavor it a bit. There is nutritional info on the website we got our starter scoby from www.kombuchakamp.com really good site. I am pretty sure the microbes are active even after refrigeration.

This is what works for me regarding the yeast cleanse. I purchased Yeast Max which is basically 1 tincture of herbs that attack yeast and a bottle of herbs that also attack yeast. I followed the dosage directions. I can't remember how long maybe a week maybe more like two weeks.

Either way the other very critical actions during the cleanse is to not eat phone that are either high in glucose (white breads etc as well as fruits that are high on the glycemic index. Also no brewer's yeast. There is a list of foods in the YeastMax directions I believe and also on line.

AFter the cleans I repopulated with good yeast with a product called Advanced Naturals Ultimate FloraMax Super Critical 200 billion live cultures per serving. THat lasted seven days I believe and then I take a daily from a brand called INNATE Flora 50 14 Clinical Strength..

These products worked for me. I have no relationship to them professionally. My nurse practitioner carries them. You can get them on-line too.

Definitely research on-line too. I have had wonderful results. If you have to take antibiotics (which kill all yeast and thus bad end up taking over when they come back because good are gone) or anything after the cleanse repopulate with the Super Critical before going back to daily probiotic.

Do you feel lightheaded or strange when doing this cleanse. I know some people have reactions to a cleansing.

No apparent link to humans?

Never met an obese person that had any kind of cancer, so this rings dissonant. Bad knees, bad feet, bad hips, sore backs, but cannot recall a single obese person with cancer.

Obesity is associated with increased risks of the following cancer types, and possibly others as well:

Esophagus, Pancreas, Colon and rectum, Breast (after menopause), Endometrium (lining of the uterus), Kidney, Thyroid, Gallbladder.

One study, using NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data, estimated that in 2007 in the United States, about 34,000 new cases of cancer in men (4 percent) and 50,500 in women (7 percent) were due to obesity. The percentage of cases attributed to obesity varied widely for different cancer types but was as high as 40 percent for some cancers, particularly endometrial cancer and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

The reason you were likely unaware of this was because these are internal cancers that are likely in an advanced stage when they are first detected. On top of that, cancer and chemotherapy are a major weight loss program. I knew an obese woman whose cancer, though caught early, was terminal, and in six months she went from fat to “concentration camp”.

Her life was probably extended by three months by smoking marijuana, that permitted her to eat without nausea.
