Gut dysbiosis is an imbalance of good vs. bad bacteria, yeast and other pathogens in your intestines. This is important because most of our immune system is located in our gastrointestinal tract, as most pathogens enter our bodies through our mouths.
Gut dysbiosis can cause lowered dopamine and lowered serotonin, as well as an inability to remember something in the short term, because most neurotransmitters are made in the intestines.
It can also cause leaky gut (intestinal permeability) which means that waste products that should be pooped out are not and are instead leaking out and causing an immune response.
Gut dysbiosis also causes nutritional deficiencies and can lower thyroid function, as well as cause lowered excretion of waste through the kidneys.
In addition, it causes increased ghrelin and lowered leptin, making you feel hungrier than you should, thereby contributing to weight gain.
Toxins produced by gut pathogens impairs your liver’s ability to detoxify, and because they are stressors, your adrenal glands will produce more cortisol, leading to fatigue and an inability to handle stress.
Gut dysbiosis causes inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as damage mitochondria, thereby increasing fatigue and lowering glutathione, the body’s powerful antioxidant.
Mercury in seafood is more harmful than believed. Levels of the toxin previously deemed safe are probably not. Read more…

This video was shown in late 2012 at the Congressional hearing about the autism epidemic: “How Mercury Causes Brain Neuron Damage”. Also, “we should be focusing on the dietary aspects” in relation to autism. Parents have to do their own research, and researchers don’t listen to them.

The etiology of autism may be similar to that for eczema, asthma and allergic responses. One of the reasons is sulfation, which affects the function of proteins and peptides, among other things. Sulfate is produced by oxidation of methionine or cysteine, which are both sulfur-containing amino acids. Read more…
