Undoctored and the Age of Pandemics

But I predict that our Undoctored lifestyle provides substantial protection against any virus. This is because:- Wheat and grain elimination reduces body-wide inflammation—One of the primary drivers of this is reversal of gliadin-driven intestinal permeability, an effect reflected in reduced blood levels of the zonulin protein. Airway inflammation is reduced, reflected in many people obtaining relief from asthma, sinus congestion, and repeated sinus infections with wheat/grain elimination, making them less susceptible to airborne pathogens.
- Vitamin D—We know with confidence that restoration of healthy levels of vitamin D enhances immunity, especially that driven by T-lymphocytes. Lack of vitamin D is a big part of the reason that we have viral illnesses like the flu during winter, but not in summer.
- Reversal of thymic involution—Lactobacillus reuteri reverses age-related atrophy of the thymus in experimental models. The thymus (sitting just in front of the heart in the anterior mediastinum) is the seat of much of the immune response, especially that involving T-lymphocytes. Starting at age 18, the thymus begins to atrophy such that, by age 70, it is a tiny fragment of its former self, a phenomenon accompanied by increased susceptibility to infections like flu, pneumococcal pneumonia, and sepsis. Even though this phenomenon has not yet been formally corroborated in humans, nearly every other observation made in mice with L. reuteri (or exogenous oxytocin) has held true in humans in formal clinical trials: preservation of bone density, acceleration of healing, increased oxytocin, reduction of appetite, weight loss, etc. It is therefore likely that reversal of thymic involution and thereby restoration of youthful immune potential occurs, also.
- Reduction of metabolic endotoxemia—Our efforts that include rebuilding a healthy intestinal microbiome that include probiotics, fermented foods, prebiotic fibers, and reversal of SIBO and SIFO reduce the process of metabolic endotoxemia, i.e., the flood of bacterial byproducts (such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide, or LPS) that accompanies SIBO. Reversing/reducing metabolic endotoxemia is a huge advantage in reducing body-wide inflammation and enhancing the immune response.
