Im not saying fermented foods aren't great, I eat some kefir myself sometimes, but all those people that say "cancer is curable with X", X being MSM, vitamin C overdose, probiotics.. I think they are making claims way too big with little proof, and the proof presented is usually vague as hell.
I know a guy with MS and he was on steroids and stuff. What would you recommend? We can test it out, he's still young and the disease is not at a crucial stage yet.
Quit the steriods immediately! He is making it worse! Emulate what I am doing... (note I am not a doctor, so do not hold me responsible)
Did you not see the clinical research on mice I linked to in my prior post?
People are taking probiotics from capsules which are ineffective because they are the wrong strains and/or lose efficacy before consumed.
I see a direct correlation between my inflammation flare-ups and when I eat. Immediately after I eat, my immune system goes whacko (nose starts dripping, ear plugs, back of my head itches, aches, cranium nodules flare-up, gut aches or on fire, inflammation all over my body). That research I linked to explains the mechanism by which the certain strains of good bacteria (in combination) are down regulating IL-10 (interleukin).
I am feeding those damn bad bacteria very time I eat which produce toxins, or at least lacking sufficient good bacteria to modulate the inflammation resulting from my body fighting the bad bacteria and the proteins they resemble throughout the body.
The progression of my illness (the cause) was clearly related to destroying the gut bacteria by not eating correctly in the Philippines, because I was just eating only fast food here for years because I didn't immerse myself in the types of fermented and natural foods the locals eat which are really strange for a white guy from California. And then numerous instances of super doses of bacteria, especially Metronidazole for killing gut pathogens, and that antibiotic is known to be a neurologic toxin (excotoxin).
The high dose vitamin D3 is a great modulator (and reduces the EDSS score of most sufferers, myself included down from a 3 - 3.5 to 1.5 - 2.5 over 2 months) but it can't suppress the relapsing inflammation flare-ups; rather only making them milder episodes.
I seem to do much better on those days I eat foods with vinegar, such as today feeling pretty good all day and ate 8 pieces of chicken cooked in apple cider vinegar (
raises the pH of my stomach?), soy sauce, and onions (with black pepper). And camote instead of any grains. And the B Healthy with every meal (which contains some probiotics and the all important co-enzymated B12 and B complex for the protection of the sheaths in the brain). I didn't take any vitamin D3 today, so as to give my kidneys some relief.
Will be whipping up some of the fermented salsa tomorrow or next day! Will report back if ever I am able to attain complete remission.
Note
the lactic acid fermentation requires submersing the food in water (at least initially) and adding some sea salt, so only the anaerobic good bacteria can take over the culture.
