My Inquiring Mind
How come we don't make our own Vit C?
"Scientists have extensively studied the human genome and identified the defective gene for the synthesis of the active enzyme protein, L-gulonolactone oxidase or GLO (Stone 1979). This mutation is said to have occurred some 60 million years ago. The absence of GLO in the human liver blocks the conversion of glucose into ascorbic acid leading to an illness known as Scurvy (Inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism)."
Fighting Microbes with Microbes
If 99% of our microbes are good and the 1% is good as well (just not an overgrowth) then why do we focus on the 1% by killing off 100% with antibiotics, antimicrobials? Is there anything we don't put on our skin that doesn't cause us to have a dysbiosis? When we lose our microbial allies, our health is compromised. How do we re-flourish what we ignorantly just destroyed?
Why Probiotics in and on our foods, drinks, pills don't end up in our gut.
There are a whole family of entire different strains that live in our gut and we get those from our mother, when we are born. Sometimes if we are lucky we get them from our food pulled right out of the ground.
The strains that are in pill form or in our foods are aerobic, the ones in our guts are primarily anaerobic. Acidophilus, Lactobacillus strains are examples of these.
But why do we seem to benefit from microbes in our fermentation? Well when a probiotic is dead, it can still stimulate a metabolic response. The outer membrane triggers a metabolic response modifiers.
