Dr Robert Martindale - Inflammation: Is the Gut the Driving Force of Systemic Inflammation?

 How our Western diet is causing inflammation and most of our diseases, from cancer, diabetes, heart disease, organ failure, etc. Pesticides (especially Round Up), sugar, additives, high fructose corn syrup, emulsifiers, etc, are badly affecting our gut microbimone, but the antibiotics we were given as children have also damaged our gut flora. Using fermented food in our diet, like yogurt, sauerkraut, tempeh, etc can be help to restore healthy gut microbimone, and high fibre foods, like fruit, vegetables, wholefood, and legumes feed the good bacteria. 

New research shows that Parkinson's disease starts in the gut, and that anxiety can be triggered by bad gut flora. 

Stress can cause normally harmless bacteria to start behaving aggressively and become lethal. As long as everything is okay, like there's plenty of food, the right temperature, etc, it will stay happy and cause no problems. 

Robert Martindale, MD, PhD, works in the ICU as a general and trauma surgeon. In this video Martindale discusses inflammatory-based diseases (heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes) as a global burden.

Probiotic ‘yeast robots’ may one day treat IBD

Researchers have developed a multifunctional “designer” probiotic to treat various facets of IBD. It reduces inflammation, reverses tissue damage, and restores the gut microbiome in a mousese model.

The probiotic was made from the same species of yeast used to make beer, using gene-editing technology CRISPR-Cas9.
