Description

This is the article you should read first as it presents an easy to understand introduction to the subject of my other documents.

Basic topics are:

Modification of the gut flora, mainly from antibiotics, increased "feed efficiency" from altered gut bacteria - as demonstrated in Antibiotic Growth Promoter use in farm animals - binge eating conditions developing when the gut gets overrun by bacteria and yeasts like candida, food cravings and dependencies that can result from the interaction of some food with some bacterial strains....


The basic message is:

You, your kids, and all the animals, birds, pets, etc, in captivity n ow have weight and obesity problems because the "historically normal" gut flora that kept them at a normal weight has degenerated and is continuing to degenerate further.

As for treatment, this article suggest that it will be many years before researchers arrive at something effective. And I suspect their corporate masters will only be interested in something that is also profitable, which implies patentable



Well, they may not be perfect, or work for everyone, but myself and others have tried methods around gut flora modification that have led to weight loss. There are no guarantees, but these methods are typically healthy, cheap to try, and safe.
