A Disturbance in the Force
This question comes from my own experience and research into iodine. Skipping over alot, i ended up taking and still am taking a dose of SSKI ranging anywhere from 6-12 grams daily (split into 3 doses), mainly because of some realizations about pretty much all of my health issues stemming from a chronic infection of some kind that i likely was born with that got picked up from my mother. The dose I'm taking is definitely high, but given everything i know about SSKI i don't think this is of concern (unless i should be C's?). The lower of end of that range is used clinically and contemporarily in the treatment of a chronic fungal infection (sporotrichosis) and at the same time the upper end of that range has been used historically for a few months. The initial die off and detox was brutal, but i think that's mainly cause my particular case was severe. This is about week 5/6 and things are definitely taking a turn for the better. Like ALOT better!
But this, along with EONutrition's post about serotonin being a response to stress, the sessions discussing parasitic infestations, the iodine requirements of the body, how well i feel, and knowlegde about pyroluria (which sounds eerily similar to what the c's described as chronic parasitic infestations, especially how common this condition seems to be today) really makes me question this good gut bacteria notion. I honestly, couldn't help but wonder if what we call our gut microbiome is in some sense a chronic infection that we have not managed to get rid of. Using the SSKI dosage for example, in the range of 3-6 grams which is used for treating sporotrichosis, this dosage is essentially one that would make the human body "sterile" if continued long enough or indefinitely. Hence, why it's used for treatment. At this dose pretty much any critter under a microscope is killed off except our own cells. Virus, bacteria, fungi, protozoa etc. So anything that's in the gut whether "good or bad" i'd imagine ends up getting killed off as well. And for all intents and purposes, both in my experience and in that of what has been reported, people seem to be completely fine if they continue this dose indefinitely even beyond the infection correction. Hell in cases like mine, i just feel better at that dose.
Taking all that into consideration, along with an estimated 1.5-2.5g amount of iodide/iodine stored in the body at saturation, i really began to question if we're supposed to have a microbiome at all. I mean babies are essentially born sterile in their guts. And i mean, i'm for sure reaching, but if we really "needed" this wouldn't the child have been inoculated within the womb instead of without? Again, seems more like pretty much all of us got infected and just don't have the required bodily energy to eliminate the infection. And EONutiriton's post about serotonin definitely would support this idea. Maybe all that serotonin in the gut is just a response to a threat that the body keeps detecting (i.e. microbiome). And not mentioned in his post, but just from the little bit i know. Serotonin increase very often raise prolactin in the brain as well, which increase under conditions of breast development, nerve cell damage (in order to repair) or drops in dopamine. I can give people high doses of a dopamine precursor and they can be active in the world, concentrate better and so on, but on high doses of tryptophan you get WAY to mellow to do anything
So overall that's my question, are we not supposed to have a microbiome or is it possibly an impediment to the amount of energy we can have in our bodies?
And i guess another question, that is somewhat related, is what we call pyroluria essentially just the result of some sort of infection within the liver that has manipulated the DNA of the host
Made this account solely to ask this question LOL.
Idk, may just be crazy but, def curious about this
