This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of exposure to high altitude and low oxygen on intestinal microbial communities using mice as an animal model. Fecal microbiota from mice housed in a control environment representing 2,200 meters (NC group) above sea level with 16% Oxygen and mice that were placed in a hypobaric chamberContinue reading “High altitude and low oxygen change the intestinal microbiome”

Females and males differ in the energy consumption and nutritional requirements which are based on the interactions between environmental factors and sex hormones. The studies in early 1940s ascertained that females have enhanced capability of producing antibodies. This enhanced immune reactivity in females helps mount an effective resistance to infection and therefore females are lessContinue reading “Sex hormones control the immune response via circadian rhythm”

Stress adjusts gut bacteria in mice Researchers found that the social pressure/stressed group had more Bilophila and Dehalobacterium than the controls.   Researchers have also discovered more elevated amounts of these gut bacteria in individuals with MS (multiple sclerosis). Researchers discovered that there is a chain of occasions whereby stress introduction (1), changes to gutContinue reading “Stress adjusts gut bacteria in mice “

How much iodine do I need? The amount of iodine you need each day depends on your age. Average daily recommended amounts are listed below in micrograms (mcg). Life Stage Recommended Amount Birth to 6 months 110 mcg Infants 7-12 months 130 mcg Children 1-8 years 90 mcg Children 9-13 years 120 mcg Teens 14-18 years 150Continue reading “Iodine prevents more cancer than any other mineral”

Dr. Olree says that Fluorine causes more cancer than any other mineral. Iodine prevents more cancer than any other mineral. Now we are finding that fluoridation of water is causing hypothyroidism to rise by thirty percent of more. We have less iodine in our soils and thus less in our food as time goes on. Add to that theContinue reading “Ginger is anti-cancer while Fluorine is carcinogenic”

Vitamin K2 activates the proteins that vitamins A and D “tell” the cells to make, thus greatly increasing their effectiveness. This has huge implications for calcium metabolism, removing it from the body where it is the “hard” in hardening of the arteries as well as the culprit in spurs, and moving it to the bonesContinue reading “Vitamin K2 affects heart, bones and teeth and Vitamin A and D absorption”

Anti-inflammation Intestinal epithelium maintains a low grade of inflammation in order to prepare for constant immunological challenges on the mucosal surface (48, 61). If the immunological control is disrupted, the enterocytes might suffer from inflammatory and oxidative damages and even cause cancer (62, 63). Many studies have shown that butyrate can act as an anti-inflammatory agent. SeveralContinue reading “Butyrate from fermented carbs”

Substrate Supply to the Colonic Microbiota An adult colon contains approximately 500 g of contents, most of which is bacteria [58], and about 100 g/day is voided as stool. A typical western type diet supplies the colonic microbiota with about 50 g daily of potentially fermentable substrate, predominantly dietary fiber (DF). Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) areContinue reading “Impacts of Macronutrients on the Gut Microbiota – carbohydrate”

Gut Bacteria Influences Metabolism Through the Immune System Summary: Digestive enteroendocrine cells use an innate immune pathway to respond to good bacteria by fine tuning metabolism to diet and intestinal conditions, a new study reveals. Source: Boston Children’s Hospital. Research tells us that the commensal or “good” bacteria that inhabit our intestines help to regulateContinue reading “Gut Bacteria Influences Metabolism – fermented carbohydates”

Consumption of fluke-free fish is the most important factor in controlling Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) infection in endemic areas such as northeast Thailand and thereby reducing the risk of cholangiocarcinoma. Cooking fish is the best way to avoid infection; however, the cultural practice of eating raw or fermented fish is difficult to change. We investigated theContinue reading “Cook your fish to kill parasites”
