Gabor Mate: How Childhood Trauma Leads to Addiction

Laughter at the news of dead parents?

Why are these teens, whose parents were supposedly just killed by Hamas, unsuccessfully attempting to hold back laughter in these mainstream media "news" reports? pic.twitter.com/JGZTJk0vu9

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: Beautiful, peaceful but evil. Everything evil in the world related to democide unfortunately comes from Geneva

I'd always thought of Switzerland as the land of freedom.  Turns out it too has been captured.  Not only that, the headquarters of the capturing army reside on a perch in Geneva: GAVI, Bill Gates, the UN, the W.H.O., World Economic Forum, and others.

a lot of focus on fiber because carbohydrate-rich diets are the natural diets of mice and those are the animals typically used for microbiome research to study physiology

The metabolic flexibility of the gut.  There's been a lot of focus on fiber because carbohydrate-rich diets are the natural diets of mice and those are the animals typically used for microbiome research to study physiology.  

Her name is Dr. Lucy Mailing.

In the attached clip, microbiome researcher Dr. Lucy Mailing explains why fiber isn't the end all be all when it comes to gut health. So fiber is often over hyped, for example, by doctors like @DavidPerlmutter Cc. @DrRagnar @SBakerMD @KenDBerryMD @FoodLiesOrg @bigfatsurprise pic.twitter.com/XHoRahWTpZ

Hunter-gatherer tribes eat a lot of fruit and really fibrous starchy tubers when there isn't meat or honey or fruit available.  It's more of a fallback food for them.  The research also didn't figure in all the soil microbes when they're eating.  The research got really zeroed in on the fiber and followed that.  That's not to say that adding fiber . . . does help with their symptoms.  Let's not assume that adding fiber is right for everyone.  Sonbergs did a really great study where they had people increase their fiber consumption or increase their fermented foods and fiber did nothing for gut diversity, but increasing their fermented DID INCREASE their gut diversity.  Even more so, fermented food consumption had universal anti-inflammatory factors across all the subjects.  Those were healthy individuals, so it's not to say that everyone with a gut issue is going to respond well to fermented foods.  Yeah, so I think the hype around fiber needs to be tempered a little bit.

 

Biotin has reversed the loss of taste that occurred in one case due to lipoic acid supplementation

Biotin’s Health Benefits: Way Beyond Hair and Nails, by @ChrisMasterjohn https://t.co/TQtYthgVdj

Most people who take biotin take it for their hair and nails.

Yet biotin does much more than this:

Biotin deficiency causes moodiness, cloudy thinking, and fatigue in some people; in others, it causes hair loss, difficulty concentrating, and stomach problems; in yet others it causes hand tremors, muscle pain, and trouble breathing; and in some people it even makes them need to wear glasses. All of these are reversible with biotin supplementation. Yes, I literally mean one person had to wear glasses when biotin deficient and was able to get rid of them when he went back on biotin.

Biotin deficiency can also cause candida-infected red, itchy, scaly skin, and “unusual body odor.”

Finally, biotin deficiency can massively increase serum cholesterol.

Biotin has reversed the loss of taste that occurred in one case due to lipoic acid supplementation (which interferes with biotin transport) and in another case as a side effect of surgery.

Biotin has allowed type 1 diabetics to go off insulin and maintain nearly normal blood sugar, and dramatically improved neuromuscular problems in type 1 diabetics.

Half of mothers become spontaneously biotin-deficient during pregnancy, and correcting this likely prevents birth defects.

On the other hand, massive biotin doses can make human multiple sclerosis patients more likely to relapse, shown at least twice, and they cause infertility in rats and birth defects in rabbits. Humans taking huge biotin doses for genetic defects do fine with pregnancy, whether on 10-20 milligrams or 100 milligrams, but they are special cases who need the high doses.

Smoking, the anti-convulsant valproate, and egg whites that are not thoroughly cooked by boiling for 4-8 minutes can all induce biotin deficiency.

There is no RDA for biotin. Officials have instead set an “adequate intake” by looking at the average intake among American infants and adjusting it upward by bodyweight for adults. This is set at 30 micrograms per day.

This replaced an older recommendation of 300 micrograms per day, which was based on 150-300 micrograms per day being needed to correct severe deficiency.

The biotin requirement increases as a function of protein intake. By my calculations, the following rule of thumb applies:

Get at least 150 micrograms of biotin per day, which will allow an intake of non-collagen protein up to 100 grams.

For each additional 50 grams of non-collagen protein, get an additional 35 micrograms of biotin.

This puts most people in the range of 150-300 micrograms of biotin.

To do this with food, make the base of your diet rich in grass-fed animal products, a diversity of fermented foods, and a large volume of fresh produce. Then, add one egg yolk equivalent for every 25 grams of non-collagen protein in your diet.

Each egg yolk equivalent can be any of the following: one raw or cooked egg yolk with the white thrown in the trash; one whole egg boiled for at least four minutes; 1.5 fried eggs; 3.5 poached eggs; 8 grams of natto; 9 grams of chicken liver; or 36 grams of beef liver.

Pregnant and lactating women should multiply these values by 1.7. Children should adjust downward based on protein intake.

Doses used for diabetes are between 5 and 16 milligrams per day and those used for reversing loss of taste are 10-20 milligrams per day.
