In this thread, i'd like to talk about pathogenic overgrowth since the approaches that are commonly recommended when it comes to battling one, can unfortunately backfire pretty bad.
One example of such counterproductive advice is the zero-carb approach (when it is recommended for weeks on end).
A zero-carb approach when it comes to addressing bacterial overgrowth won't backfire only if a person's thyroid is VERY healthy (this is not the case for most…

So more and more people nowadays are struggling and will struggle in the near future with pathogenic overgrowths and this is to be expected since the average person’s lifestyle facilitates the conditions that are necessary in order for this to happen aka create an environment…
We are bombarded nonstop with these pathogens (which is normal), but a healthy body has great defenses against them and the main problem is not these pathogens exactly but when we mess up our body's ability to defend itself against them.
Now if you think that there’s no way that…

Now obviously i am not saying that you’re experiencing a pathogenic overgrowth, all i’m saying is that if you suffer with issues such as:

-Brain fog
-White coating on your tongue
-Extremely pale skin

So what environment allows these opportunistic microbes to grow?
The most common causes nowadays are:
Number 1: Low stomach acid+ IF
Number 2: Low transit time
Number 3: Lack of antimicrobial peptides
Number 4: Low thyroid hormones
Number 5: Certain medications
Number 6:…

Number 6:…
So let's break these down now.
Number 1: Low stomach acid + IF
Stomach acid secretion and intrinsic factor (IF) are secreted in the stomach and a deficiency in both can lead to the overgrowth of certain pathogens (lack of stomach acid, IF + enzymes , will greatly promote…

Number 2: Low transit time
Some things that can speed up transit time effectively are:
-Sticking to animal protein that digests very easily such as eggs, white fish, oysters, tartare and soups until your stomach acid has built up again
-Wim hof breathing post-meal (2 rounds…

Number 3: Lack of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)
No amount of external antimicrobial will ever be able to compete with the AMPs that are expressed in the GI tract.
Now if you want a healthy amount of antimicrobial peptides you will need proper levels of vitamin D and iodine.

Number 4: Low thyroid hormones
Here's a full thread that will help you understand the basics of thyroid health better.

Number 5: Certain medications
The list of medications that can lead to gut issues is endless.
So as a rule of thumb, only use them for the tail events and do not pop them like tic tacs.

Number 6: The presence of unbound iron
Unbound (or free) iron is iron that is not bound by proteins such as lactoferrin, ferritin and transferrin.
When iron is present in its free form, it becomes extremely damaging for our health since it is a catalyst for the formation of…

Number 7: Malnutrition
There are certain nutrients that are necessary in order to sustain a healthy gut environment.
These are:
1)Vitamin K and vitamin A (retinol)
2)B vitamins and zinc
3)Magnesium
1. Vitamin K and vitamin A

Number 8: Heavy metals and nnEMF
Both of these mess up the way we absorb, store and utilize minerals so they make us more prone to all types of infections by default.
In order to protect yourself against the effects of these you will need to:
1. Ground.
2. Get quality…

Step 1: Address the 8 main causes which lead to the environment that allows these opportunistic microbes to grow in the first place.

Then if the issue does not resolve consider in case you did not self diagnose and have an actual pathogenic overgrowth you will need medical supervision in order to potentially use more intense tools.
That's the reality.
