Phosphorus

Motherhat III chapter d.6.D.7. Phosphorus

N-t-k:  Sulfur,   Calcium 1 and Phosphorus are the three most abundant minerals in the human body2.
  • “Phosphorus” comes from the Greek word phosphorous which means “bringer of light.”

Anti-Covid Properties Phosphorus

A study published January 1 of 2021 stated:

“Available data show that phosphate and Mg are deficient in COVID-19, with phosphate showing a remarkable correlation with its severity.” 3

Facts Phosphorus

  • “Phosphorus” comes from the Greek word phosphorous, which means “bringer of light.” In drug or supplement form, it’s called phosphate4. Phosphorus plays an important role in keeping you healthy, so it’s an important part of your diet5.
  • This mineral is hard at work in every one of the trillions of cells in your body right now6.

Function and Health Benefits Phosphorus

  • Phosphorus is an essential mineral that your body uses to build healthy bones, create energy and make new cells7.You have more of this mineral in your body than any other except calcium. Sulfur, calcium 8 and phosphorus are the three most abundant minerals in the human body9.
  • One of its main tasks is to serve as a building block for healthy teeth and bones10.You may think that’s calcium’s job. But calcium needs phosphorus to make your teeth and bones strong11 and create healthy bones12 create energy and make new cells13.Phosphorus is a building block for healthy teeth and bones14.
  • Phosphorus also helps your nerves and muscles do their jobs15.
  • Phosphorus also helps you turn fat, carbs, and protein 16into energy.
  • Phosphorus aids in weight loss
  • Phosphorus and Calcium work together maintain a healthy blood PH.17. More Phosphorus means more alkaline blood, More Calcium means more acidic blood. The ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio is 1-2:118Phosphorus is a buffer that keeps the pH level in your blood balanced19.

According to the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, normal blood pH levels are between 7.35 and 7.45.

A blood pH above 7.45 indicate alkalosis, or too much phosphorus

A blood pH below 7.35 indicates acidosis.20, or too much calcium.

Acidosis reduces, and alkalosis increases the binding of calcium to albumin, causing increased or decreased levels of ionized calcium, respectively21.

So acidosis reduces the binding of calcium to albumin, causing increased levels of ionized calcium,

and alkalosis increases the binding of calcium to albumin, causing decreased levels of ionized calcium.

High pH levels cause low calcium levels.

Deficiency Phosphorus Symptoms: Metabolic acidosis too low blood pH

If you have low levels of phosphorus

  • Your blood becomes too acidic
  • you may not feel like eating, loss of appetite
  • have muscle weakness,
  • bone pain, or
  • numbness or tingling in your arms and legs22.
  • Therefore, the clinical consequences of decreasing blood pH are
  • fatigue and weakness
  • headache
  • fast heartbeat
  • heavy breathing23
  • drowsiness,
  • stupor,
  • coma, and
  • death in coma24.
  • Low phosphorus status has been positively associated with increased body weight25.
  • Low phosphorus may cause kidney stones:
  • Nerve disorders
  • Osteomalacia , which is a marked softening of your bones,.
  • Rhabdomyolysis is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to serious complications such as renal (kidney) failure. This means the kidneys cannot remove waste and concentrated urine. In rare cases, Rhabdomyolysis can even cause death. However, prompt treatment often brings a good outcome. Here’s what you need to know about Rhabdomyolysis.
  • The “classic triad” of Rhabdomyolysis symptoms are:
  • muscle pain in the shoulders, thighs, or lower back;
  •  muscle weakness or trouble moving arms and legs. Half of people with the condition may have no muscle-related symptoms.
  • dark red or brown urine or decreased urination. Other common signs of Rhabdomyolysis include:
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fever
  • rapid heart rate
  • Confusion
  • dehydration
  • lack of consciousness26
  • Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation27

Some of the common symptoms of metabolic acidosis, when there is too little phosphorus and too much calcium, and the blood pH is too low, include the following:

  • rapid and shallow breathing
  • confusion
  • fatigue
  • headache
  • sleepiness
  • lack of appetite
  • jaundice
  • increased heart rate
  • breath that smells fruity, which is a sign of diabetic acidosis (ketoacidosis)

Without prompt treatment, acidosis may lead to the following health complications:

  • kidney stones
  • chronic kidney problems
  • kidney failure
  • bone disease
  • delayed growth
  • problems with organ function
  • respiratory failure
  • shock or even death. 28

Deficiency Phosphorus Causes

  • Calcium overload causes Phosphorus deficiency
  • Calcium overload can be caused by oral vitamin D,
  • Phosphorus deficiency, also called hypophosphatemia, can happen
  • if you have alcohol 29use disorder,
  • a blood acid condition called diabetic ketoacidosis 30
  • certain inherited disorders31.
  • Starvation
  • anorexia32.
  • Antacids that contain aluminum can drain your body of phosphorus33.

Overload Phosphorus Symptoms : Alkalosis, too high blood pH

When blood pH levels become too high, and thus the blood too alkaline it is called Alkalosis. Metabolic Alkalosis. can have central nervous system manifestations ranging from confusion to coma, peripheral neuropathic symptoms of tremor, tingling and numbness, muscle weakness and twitching, and arrhythmia’s, particularly when associated with hypokalemia and hypocalcemia.

Overload Phosphorus Early symptoms Alkalosis (Phosphorus overload)

Symptoms of Alkalosis. can vary. In the early stages of the condition, you may have:

  • nausea
  • numbness
  • prolonged muscle spasms
  • muscle twitching
  • hand tremors

Overload Phosphorus Serious symptoms Alkalosis (Phosphorus overload)

If Alkalosis. isn’t treated right away, severe symptoms can develop. These symptoms could lead to shock or coma.

  • dizziness
  • difficulty breathing
  • confusion
  • stupor
  • coma

High levels of phosphorus can cause

your bones to lose calcium or

calcium deposits to form in your blood vessels, eyes, heart, and lungs.

If you have too much phosphorus in your body for a long period of time, your chance of a heart attack34 or stroke 35goes up36.

High phosphate levels cause calcium levels in the blood to drop.

Symptoms of low calcium include:

  • muscle cramps or spasms
  • numbness and tingling around the mouth
  • bone and joint pain
  • weak bones
  • rash
  • itchy skin37
  • diarrhea38 and
  • stomach cramps3940.

Overload Phosphorus Causes

Respiratory Alkalosis. occurs when there isn’t enough carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. It’s often caused by:

  • Low Calcium, which can come from low Vitamin D, which can come from low cholesterol, which can come from statins or low vitamin B5 and low Vitamin D can also come from Vitamin D blockers: excess alcohol, smoking and high fructose corn syrup.
  • hyperventilation, which commonly occurs with anxiety
  • high fever
  • lack of oxygen
  • Salicylate poisoning
  • being in high altitudes
  • liver disease
  • lung disease

Metabolic Alkalosis. develops when your body loses too much acid or gains too much base. This can be attributed to:

  • excess vomiting, which causes electrolyte loss
  • overuse of diuretics
  • adrenal disease
  • a large loss of potassium or sodium in a short amount of time
  • antacids
  • accidental ingestion of bicarbonate, which can be found in baking soda
  • laxatives
  • alcohol abuse

Upper Limit Phosphorus

With phosphorus , it’s not only the amount that counts, but also the balance with Calcium.

The ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio is 1-2:141, so that needs to be taken into account as well when assessing the upper limit for phosphorus.

AgesUpper Limit
Birth to 6 monthsNot established
Infants 7–12 monthsNot established
Children 1–3 years3,000 mg
Children 4–8 years3,000 mg
Children 9–13 years4,000 mg
Teens 14–18 years4,000 mg
Adults 19–70 years4,000 mg
Adults 71+ years3,000 mg
Pregnant teens and adults3,500 mg
Breastfeeding teens and adults4,000 mg

The ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio is 1-2:143

How Much Phosphorus Do I Need?

The recommended daily intake (RDI) for adults is 700 mg, but growing teens and pregnant women need more. The daily value (DV) was estimated to be 1,000 mg, but was recently updated to 1,250 mg to cover the needs of these groups44.

  • How much phosphorus you need depends on your age. (Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need the same amount as other adults.)
    • Up to 6 months: 100 milligrams
    • 7 months-1 year: 275 milligrams
    • 1-3 years: 460 milligrams
    • 4-8 years: 500 milligrams
    • 9-13 years: 1,250 milligrams
    • 14-18 years: 1,250 milligrams
    • 19 years and older: 700 milligrams45
    If you have a health issue that keeps you from getting enough phosphorus from food, your doctor can prescribe a supplement. Phosphate also treats some types of urinary tract infections and prevents calcium stones in the urinary tract46.

Stability Phosphorus

The stability of phosphorus depends on the form it is in. As riboflavin Vitamin B2, (dairy products, nuts, seeds, mushrooms) Riboflavin it is heat stable but light sensitive. Thermal decomposition of Vitamin B2 in air atmosphere occurs at 296 °C. 64If Vitamin B2 is exposed to too much light it can be deactivated from its usable form. UV light can destroy a percentage65 of Vitamin B2, Riboflavin66So heat it any way you like, but store it in the dark. And if you heat it, use the fluids you used to cook or fry it in for soups or sauce, since the vitamins and minerals leech into them. As Vitamin B6 (nuts, seeds, vegetables) Thermal decomposition in air atmosphere occurs at 212 °C. 67 As with all B Vitamins, use the fluids you boiled, cooked or fried them in, because the Vitamins leech in them.

Chapter d.1.Microbiome

The “M” in Motherhat, the acronym for getting healthy naturally through diet and care, stands for microbiome. n-t-k is need to know:

n-t-k: M”: Microbiome, the “M” in Motherhat, where you can find all the Covid fighting properties of probiotics and prebiotics: and the research that backs it. All you need to know to get healthy: drink your natural probiotic of choice, like Kombucha or kefir daily, or use it to make your muesli for breakfast. Eat fruits and vegetables whole rather than juiced. See d.1.3.5.b. You need the fibers and the chewing because of the beneficial microbes in saliva which convert nitrate, which is harmful, into nitric oxide, which is helpful. Don’t use synthetic antibiotic mouthwashes, since they kill the microbes in your saliva that convert nitrate into nitric oxide. See in d.1.2.b.2.2. what you can use instead. Eat your salads with some apple cider vinegar for the Lactobacillus lactis, a guest microbe we need to consume daily, to convert Vitamin K1 into Vitamin K2, So of course, you need to eat Vitamin K1 to, which is in kale and many other vegetables, that are listed in d.1.3.4.b. Clean and take care of your skin in a way that protects your skin’s healthy microbes. See how in d.1.2.. Starting with the microbiome is smart, since it not only helps you digest healthy foods better, it also makes you crave healthy foods. See.d.1.3.5.a.. And you need a healthy Microbiome for digesting the Omega’s properly, you need the Omega’s for your immune system and for proper cell membrane function, so there really is no other place to start than with the Microbiome.

The symphony of life

Try to imagine:

In our bodies we have 30 trillion cells1. That’s a 30 with 12 zeroes!

Appreciate what a large number that is. A million seconds is 11 days. A billion seconds is 32 years. A trillion seconds is 32000 years. 30 trillion seconds is 960000 years. 2

Each one of those 30 trillion cells is much smarter than we are.3

There are 1.2. trillion ways to hook together glucose.

Just one mistake in the carbohydrate arrangement and the cell does not function properly 4

Humanly speaking it’s impossible to reach that level of precision, speed and perfection

But our cells do it all the time.

The more we learn about the cell, the more complex it becomes.

Scientists can modify life, but they can’t create it, not even close.5

If you can change the tires of a car, it doesn’t mean you can build a car.

Our body makes 3.8 million cells every second. Most of them are blood cells.6

In 1 minute, an average human heart contracts about 75 times, pumping 4–5 liters of blood through vessels ranging in thickness from the size of a forefinger to the width of a single hair. 7

In just 1 minute, 35 000 billion red blood cells, 50 billion white blood cells and 1500 billion platelets, travel through 40 000 million individual arteries, veins and capillaries whose combined length is 96 000 km, reaching every part of the body multiple times.

That is twice the circumference of the earth!

During each visit, each red blood cell carries 100 million oxygen molecules latched on to 25 million hemoglobin molecules to supply our tissues with the oxygen needed for metabolism.

A couple of trillion antibody molecules completes a highly technical surveillance of the entire system, traveling along with the cellular constituents.

In that same 1 minute, Air sweeps in and out of the 370 million alveoli present in the lungs, with a combined interior area of 80 m2, 25 times.

Each time air rushes in, it passes over the olfactory epithelium, located on the roof of the 2 nasal passages and innervated with about 10 million olfactory sensory receptors.

Meanwhile, many of the 100 million neurons of the brain orchestrate everything, coordinating all movements and thoughts by communicating with one another and with other parts of the body, using the 100 trillion synapses found in the entire brain.

Gene segments, from 25 000 protein coding genes made from 3 billion base pairs, carry out the processes of replication, transcription and translation within all cells but the mature red blood cells.

While the cells are too small for the eye to see, the DNA from each of them cells8, if stretched end to end, measures close to 2 meters in length.

During this minute about 60 million chemical reactions take place just in the ribosomes alone, assembling in the thousands around the endoplasmic reticulum and leading to the synthesis of 120 000 protein molecules

There are half a trillion machines in the entire world. 9

There are billions of trillions of proteins in our body.10

We have more “machines” in the form of proteins in the tip of our finger than there are machines in the whole world.11

If we could scale up the size of a protein to a penny, the proteins in just your body alone would fill up the whole Pacific Ocean.12

The scale of DNA is so tiny that all information of all life on earth would fit in a teaspoon and there would be room left for all the books ever written in that same teaspoon! 13

Muscle movement requires the combined action of trillions of myosin motors.14

Equipped with this many processors, the human brain might be capable of executing as many as 100 billion operations per second.15

As the earth is a planet to us, our bodies are planets to microbes, beneficial ones and harmful ones.

Our bodies are home to an estimated 38 trillion “good” bacteria, many of which reside in our gut. Not only do we live in harmony with these beneficial bacteria, but they are actually essential to our survival.

And as we prefer beneficial bacteria to pathogenic ones, we need to be beneficial to earth’s macrobiome so here you find tips for that as well.

It will take more than a minute to take in, but I think you will find it is well worth your time, and that it will save you far more time than it costs!

d.1.Microbiome: Probiotics161.for the gut, 2. respecting the skin’s microbiome and 3. Prebiotics

Introduction d.1. Microbiome

Our bodies are home to an estimated 38 trillion “good” bacteria17, many of which reside in our gut, but we also have quite a few on our skin keeping us safe.

Individual humans are about 99.9% identical to one another in terms of their host genome[, but can be 80-90% different from one another in terms of the microbiome of their hand or gut.18

The good bacteria, which live in the digestive system, mucous, and skin, sustain us. They help us digest food, they make us vitamins and amino acids, they attack pathogens, they remove waste. Without the good bacteria, essential nutrients become toxic to us, also the best foods for the Omega’s.

The good bacteria are in constant battle with the bad ones. The bad bacteria basically feed on us. They harm cells, they damage organs, they cause disease.

When the good bacteria win, our gut and skin are healthy and we feel good.

When they lose, we get ill.

We call good bacteria Probiotics or commensals. We call bad bacteria pathogens.19

Commensal bacteria

Image: Commensal bacteria 20cross talk with the host. Commensal bacteria supply the host with essential nutrients and defend the host against opportunistic pathogens. They are involved in the development of the intestinal architecture and immunomodulatory processes. On the other hand, the host provides the bacteria with nutrients and a stable environment.21

The difference between good and bad bacteria? The good ones feed and sustain us, the bad ones eat us and make us ill.

Some bacteria are good as long as they are kept in check and become bad when they go rampant.

Some good bacteria are permanent residents, and all we have to do is not harm them for them to be present.

Others are guests that keep having to be reintroduced with Probiotics to make us essential nutrients without which we cannot survive.

That’s why an optimal balance within our microbiome is so important.

First we will focus on the microbiome in our gut, then the microbiome on our skin.

Then on prebiotics, food for Probiotics, because with every 100 grams of prebiotics we consume, 30 grams of probiotics are formed.

d.1.1. Probiotics for the gut

N-t-k: All the B vitamins are made by probiotics in the gut. Probiotics make many other nutrients as well that help our immune system and build our bodies up. They help us digest food properly so we can get essential nutrients in. And they have anti-Covid properties as well, The best probiotics are found in natural products such as Kefir, Kombucha and yogurt. The genetically manipulated ones are harmful.

Contents d.1.1. Probiotics for the gut

The gut microbiome (GM) is the totality of microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi, and their collective genetic material, present in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The GM could be applied for disease treatment/prevention because it can regulate immune responses if applied in suitable amounts. The GM has shown efficacy against influenza viruses and Streptococcus pneumoniae in animal models 22

Officially, the knowledge. that certain types of bacteria are essential to our health has been around since the early 20th century, when Nobel prize-winning Russian biologist Elie Metchnikoff proved that eating bacteria similar to those living in the body has many health benefits. Such products are called Probiotics. They have been a part of healthy diets for thousands of years. The food they eat are called prebiotics, the products they make are called postbiotics

In order for a food to be considered probiotic, it must contain at least 100.000.000. colony-forming units (CFU)/g live microorganisms).23

Function and Health Benefits Probiotics

  • Good bacteria help our bodies digest food and absorb nutrients, and they produce several vitamins and amino acids in the intestinal tract: Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, B9, B12 are all made in the gut by Lactobacillus bifidus. Vitamin B5 is made with Lactaris and R. torques) (Firmicutes); Salmonella enterica and Helicobacter pylori (Proteobacteria). 24 These all live in the gut. Only Vitamin K2 is made with a guest microbe, Lactobacillus lactis, and it is made from Vitamin K1, which is why we must be sure to have both of those in our diets daily. For the rest, just eating prebiotics is enough to help our body make them, 30 grams of probiotics for every 100 grams of prebiotics we eat. See chapter d.1.3.
  • The amino acid s colonic bacteria make include Lysine, arginine, glycine, and the BCAA (branched chain amino acids) leucine, valine, and isoleucine, resulting in the generation of a complex mixture of metabolic end products including among others ammonia, SCFA (acetate, propionate, and butyrate), and branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA; valerate, isobutyrate, and isovalerate). Importantly, these bacterial metabolites have been shown to influence epithelial physiology by influencing signaling pathways in epithelial cells and by modulating the mucosal immune system of the host. Besides, they also modulate bacterial gene expression leading to the production of enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism.25
  • Next to the generation of SCFA (short chain fatty acids) and BCFA (branched-chain fatty acids), microbial metabolism of amino acids can also give rise to biogenic amines. Biogenic amines are produced by decarboxylation of amino acids. The biogenic amines mainly produced by the resident microbiota include cadaverine (a decarboxylation product of Lysine) and agmatine (a decarboxylation product of arginine). These biogenic amines can have significant physiological effects in vivo. For example, agmatine was recently shown to influence multiple physiological and metabolic functions in rats by elevating tissue cAMP levels, ultimately replicating the effects of caloric restriction with respect to metabolic reprogramming and leading to reduced diet-induced weight gain.26
  • Gut Bacteria also make Phytase, which neutralizes Phytic Acid, L. brevis and B. subtilis in fermented food products are capable of producing higher amount of phytase.27
  • Gut bacteria neutralize Oxalate as well. It’s not just O. formigenes which does this28 L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, L. brevis, S. thermophilus, and B. infantis.29
  • 80% of your immune system is in our gut30
  • Most human gut bacteria do produce neurotransmitters, which are chemicals like dopamine and serotonin that enable communication among neurons, which are the nervous cells in the brain, but also in the enteric nervous system of the gut..31
  • Streptococcus, Enterococcus, and Escherichia can synthesize serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.32
  • When helpful bacteria multiply and thrive in our bodies, they feed, build, sustain and protect us.
  • They even influence our appetite! Healthy microbes give us healthy cravings, unhealthy microbes give us unhealthy cravings. 33 Change your microbiome, change your cravings, and you can change your microbiome just by drinking some kefir every morning combined with some probiotics, like oatmeal. It goes very quickly, usually within days!34 So you reach your ideal weight while eating anything you crave, since you only crave healthy foods. 35How perfect is that!
  • Probiotics lower blood pressure.36
  • A study called “Effect of probiotics on blood pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials,” published on July 21, 2014, summarizes the effects of probiotics the following way:
  • 1. Metabolic role
  • Salvages calories
  • Produces short-chain fatty acids
  • Produces arginine and glutamine
  • Synthesizes vitamin K and folate
  • Participates in drug metabolism (eg, activates 5-aminosalicylic acid from sulfasalazine)
  • 2. Deconjugation of bile acids
  • 3. Prevention of colonization by pathogens
  • 4. Immunologic effects
  • Stimulates immunoglobulin A production
  • Promotes anti-inflammatory cytokines and down-regulates proinflammatory cytokines
  • Induces regulatory T cells37

Anti-Covid Properties Probiotics

“Probiotics also protect us against Covid -19” is the conclusion of a study called “Lost microbes of COVID-19: Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium depletion and decreased microbiome diversity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity,” published on PubMed in April of 2022.38

As of January 22, 2022, 84 papers had already been written about the Anti-Covid Properties of Probiotics. 39

The following graph from the study called “Evidences and perspectives of the use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics as adjuvants for prevention and treatment of COVID-19: A bibliometric analysis and systematic review,” published on PMC, January 2, 2022, 40summarizes their conclusions:

Pre-, Pro- and Postbiotics as Anti-Covid measures

Image: Pre-, Pro- and Postbiotics as Anti-Covid measures41

What are Postbiotics?

This term refers to the products probiotics make from prebiotics. Healthy postbiotics include nutrients such as all the B-vitamins and Vitamin K2 from Vitamin K1 with the help of guest Microbe Lactobacillus lactis,, amino acids, and substances called antimicrobial peptides that help to slow down the growth of harmful bacteria. Other postbiotic substances are called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).42

Synbiotics are mixtures of probiotics (helpful gut bacteria) and prebiotics (non-digestible fibers that help these bacteria grow).43

Health Benefits Probiotics

A study called “The role of short-chain fatty acids in health and disease,” published on PubMed in 2014 says:

“SCFAs have been shown to alter chemotaxis and phagocytosis; induce reactive oxygen species (ROS); change cell proliferation and function; have anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, and antimicrobial effects; and alter gut integrity. (SCFAs) play an important role in the maintenance of health and the development of disease  SCFAs are a major player in maintenance of gut and immune homeostasis.” 44

Chemotaxis is a fundamental biological process in which a cell migrates following the direction of a spatial cue. This spatial cue is provided in a form of a gradient of chemoattractants.45

Chemoattractants are small soluble molecules that bind to receptors on leukocytes causing their stimulation, polarization, and locomotion, in part through the activation of the integrin adhesion molecules.46

Phagocytosis is the process by which a phagocyte (a type of white blood cell) surrounds and destroys foreign substances (such as bacteria) and removes dead cells.47Reactive oxygen species is a type of unstable molecule that contains oxygen and that easily reacts with other molecules in a cell. A build up of reactive oxygen species in cells may cause damage to DNA, RNA, and proteins, and may cause cell death. Reactive oxygen species are free radicals.48The list of Vitamins and Amino acids gut bacteria make is impressive: Vitamin B1, Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Riboflavin, Vitamin B3,Niacin49, Vitamin B5, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B7,Biotin, Vitamin B9, Folate, Vitamin B12, Cobalamin50 are water-soluble vitamins that are synthesized by gut bacteria.51

Vitamin K2, Menaquinone, is synthesized by Lactobacillus lactis from Vitamin K1. Lactobacillus lactis. Phylloquinone, is a guest bacteria that needs to be re introduced into the gut daily and we need to eat Vitamin K1 in order for Lactobacillus lactis to be able to make K2. See Chapter d.5.D.5.

The others are residents of the gut, and all we have to do is not kill them off with anti biotics or avidin which stops the formation of Vitamin B7, biotin, or folic acid, which sabotages Vitamin B9, Folate and Vitamin B12. Cobalamin, or Niacinamide, which is not the same as Vitamin B3, Niacin. And we shouldn’t sabotage them with prefab foods or GMO, which benefit bad bacteria and keep the good ones from sustaining us.

Amino acids made by gut bacteria include Lysine, arginine, glycine, and the BCAA leucine, valine, and isoleucine, resulting in the generation of a complex mixture of metabolic end products including among others ammonia, SCFA (acetate, propionate, and butyrate), and branched-chain fatty acids. 52

Without a healthy microbiome, the phytoestrogens in the healthy Omega-3-ALA sources and Essential oils are toxic to us.

The study “Probiotic lactobacilli: Can be a remediating supplement for pandemic COVID-19. A review” published December 16, 2020, states:

“As per literature review of COVID-19 cases, it is evident that people with good natural immunity overcome the virus load. As we know, the gold standard for healthy and robust immunity lies in the gut and diet functions. The nutritional and immunity enhancing probiotics operating homeostasis in the gut must be paid research attention. Regular physical exercise, a healthy lifestyle, and probiotics supplementation can be prominent players to induce immunity. The specific role of probiotics to enhance natural killer cells function, stimulation of IgA antibodies, and mucosal barrier inflammation control promoted an interest in new generation probiotics to strengthen immunity to treat COVID-19 viruses.53

Lactobacillus probiotics have already been utilized to reduce non-Covid sepsis and infectious-morbidity.

Studies show probiotics prevent and heal Covid-19, and that dysbiosis, an imbalance in the microbiome, aggravates it.

A study published January5, 2022, called Daily Lactobacillus Probiotic versus Placebo in COVID-19-Exposed Household Contacts (PROTECT-EHC): A Randomized Clinical Trial states:

“LGG probiotic may protect against the development of symptoms when used as post-exposure prophylaxis within 7 days after COVID-19 exposure.”54

Another study, published March 19, 2021, called: Probiotics in Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19: Current Perspective and Future Prospects states:

“Increased severity and morbidity with a disturbed microbiome, has also been established.”55

Another study, called “The human microbiome and COVID-19: A systematic review,” published on PMC, June 23, 2021, found the human fecal and respiratory tract microbiome changed in Covid-19 patients with opportunistic pathogen abundance. 56

There are many ways we put the population of beneficial bacteria at risk. For example, when we take antibiotics to treat an infection of harmful bacteria, we also kill helpful bacteria, and that leads to fatal diseases. 57

A study called “Immunomodulatory Effects of Probiotics on COVID-19 Infection by Targeting the Gut-Lung Axis Microbial Cross-Talk”58 was published on PubMed on August 31, 2022. It says:

“The ecosystem of the human gastrointestinal tract, named gut microbiota, represents the most thoroughly mapped ecosystem. Perturbations on bacterial populations cause dysbiosis, a condition correlated to a wide range of autoimmune, neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases. The lungs have their flora, which are directly related to the gut flora via bidirectional communication allowing the transport of microbial metabolites and toxins produced by intestinal bacteria through the circulation and lymphatic system. This mutual microbial cross-talk communication called the gut-lung axis modulates the immune and inflammatory response to infections. COVID-19 causes dysbiosis, altered intestinal permeability, and bacterial translocation. Dysbiosis, through the gut-lung axis, promotes hyper-inflammation, exacerbates lung damage, and worsens clinical outcomes. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that probiotics can regulate cytokine secretion, thus affecting both nonspecific and specific immunity. Probiotics act by blocking the virus from invading and proliferating in host cells, by stimulating the immune response, and by suppressing the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Herein, we reviewed the evidence from preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the effect of probiotics administration on the immune response to COVID-19 infection by targeting the gut-lung axis microbial cross-talk.”59

A study called: “Benefits of probiotic use on COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis” was published on PubMed on September 30, 2022.60 It says:

“Results showed that probiotics were associated with a significant 51% reduction in symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients (RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.40-0.61). There was a significant improvement in cough (RR 0.56, 95% CI 0.37-0.83), headaches (RR 0.17, 95% CI 0.05-0.65), and diarrhea (RR 0. 33, 95% CI 0.12-0.96) of patients on probiotic therapy. These findings suggest that probiotic supplementation is effective in improving symptoms of COVID-19.” 61

The question is not whether probiotics work to prevent and alleviate Covid-19, for that has already been established and is already being done. The question is which strains are best, and what is the best way to ingest them. 62May I suggest Kefir? 63Then you don’t have to choose between strains. Kefir contains more than 30 times more probiotics than yogurt. Yogurt has one to five active cultures and six billion CFUs.64 Kefir has a total of 158 microbial strains, representing six fungal and 17 bacterial species,  65 and 15 to 20 billion colony-forming units (CFUs). 66

Kefir grains consist of complex symbiotic mixtures of bacteria and yeasts, and are reported to impart numerous health-boosting properties to milk and water kefir beverages. 67

The immune system plays a crucial role in the susceptibility, persistence, and clearance of these infections. With 70-80% of immune cells being present in the gut, there is an intricate interplay between the intestinal microbiota, the intestinal epithelial layer, and the local mucosal immune system.68Probiotics found in Kefir

Some of the probiotic bacteria 69 found in Kefir products include: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, Lactococcus lactis,70 Lactobacillus Lactis!71 and Leuconostoc species72

Those will be discussed here:

Stability of Probiotics

Probiotics cannot be processed or heated. Approximately 83 percent of the cultures could be killed in 30 minutes or less at 145 ° F. (is 62.8 ° C) The thermal death times at 136 ° F (is 57.8 ° C).73

The bacteria from probiotics are likely take up residence in your gut, but scientists have found74 that the effects wear off within 1-3 weeks after you stop taking them. 75

d.1.1.a. Lactobacillus acidophilus

n-t-k: Lactobacillus acidophilus is a species of beneficial microbial flora and has been proven to play an important role in many pathological and physiological processes. It has been shown to improve CVD and lactose intolerance, prevent and treat cancer, regulate immunity, and improve gastrointestinal diseases.76Find the studies and food sources here:

Contents d.1.1.a. Lactobacillus acidophilus

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a resident of the human microbiome meaning our gut makes itself from Prebiotics (see chapter d.1.3.), and it lives in the mouth, intestine and vagina.77

If we make it ourselves, why should we eat it?

Because the microbiome can become unbalanced due to toxins, and eating probiotics helps restore the balance.

This is why you’d never suspect that our gut microbiome is the health treasure trove it is. Like introducing a Physics Nobel prize winner as someone who likes to tinker with electricity, which he or she probably does, but that’s not how you introduce a Nobel Prize winner! These understatements of the power of natural health foods are the rule, rather than the exception, another reason this book is so necessary!

Anti-Covid Properties Lactobacillus acidophilus

A study called “Probiotic lactobacilli: Can be a remediating supplement for pandemic COVID-19. A review” was published on PMC on December 16, 2020.90 it states:“The mucous layer Lactobacillus acidophilus makes is also beneficial in fighting off Covid-19”91Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactic acid, H2O2 and antibiotics, breaks down bile acids and creates an environment for the efficient utilization of nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron and phosphorus,92 many of which have important Covid fighting properties.

Another study called: Lactobacillus spp. for Gastrointestinal Health: Current and Future Perspectives, published on PubMed, April 6, 2022, observed:

“Lactobacillus acidophilus has demonstrated efficacy in treating upper respiratory tract infections.” 93SPP means self propelled particle. Self-propulsion is the autonomous displacement of nano-, micro- and macroscopic natural and artificial objects, containing their own means of motion. Self-propulsion is driven mainly by interfacial phenomena.94

Interfacial phenomena are what occur where two different phases come together – a solid and a liquid, for example, or a liquid and a gas. 95

Lactobacillus acidophilus produces lactic acid C3H6O3, Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 and antibiotics, breaks down bile acids and creates an environment for the efficient utilization of nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron and phosphorus,96 many of which have important Covid fighting properties.

d.1.1.b. Bifidobacteria

n-t-k: All B Vitamins except for Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid, are made from Bifidobacteria, permanent residents of a healthy gut microbiome.

Contents d.1.1.b. Bifidobacteria

Bifidobacteria make up most of the “good” bacteria living in the gut. These bacteria begin colonizing the gastrointestinal system almost immediately after we’re born. Since they naturally inhabit our gut microbiome, we only have to eat prebiotics to get them. See chapter d.1.c.

Function and Health benefits Bifidobacteria

A study called “Anti-tumor mechanisms of Bifidobacteria” published on PubMed on May 10, 2018103 says:

“Bifidobacterium has an apparent competitive advantage in the cancer micro environment.”104

It goes on to say:

The competitive exclusion of pathogenic microbiota by probiotics includes the competition for nutrients and adhesion at the intestinal mucosa..The mechanism involved in anti-mutagenic activities is the ability of Bifidobacteria to bind to the mutagens of microbial cells 105

It also says:

Certain Lactobacillus strains may produce substances that kill or inhibit the growth of pathogens, including bacteriocins.106 Bacteriocins are proteins produced by bacteria of one strain which are active against those of a closely related strain.107

The same study says:

“Bifidobacteria have also been demonstrated to exhibit anti-mutagenic activities against heterocyclic amines, N-nitroso compounds and aflatoxins.”108

Heterocyclic amines are chemicals that are formed when meat, poultry, or fish is cooked at high temperatures, such as frying, broiling, and barbecuing. Heterocyclic amines are carcinogens (substances that may cause cancer). Also called HCA.109

N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are chemical contaminants formed during the processing and manufacture of certain foods such as bacon, cheese, cured meat and fish.110

Aflatoxins are a family of toxins produced by certain fungi that are found on agricultural crops such as maize (corn), peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts. The main fungi that produce aflatoxins are Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, which are abundant in warm and humid regions of the world.111

Bifidobacteria take care of Gene and cytokine modulation: Cementing the function of the intestinal barrier. Cytokine is A type of protein that is made by certain immune and non-immune cells and has an effect on the immune system. Some cytokines stimulate the immune system and others slow it down. Examples of cytokines are interleukins, interferons, and colony-stimulating factors (filgrastim, sargramostim).112

Bifidobacteria also exhibit antitumor effects via altering the expression of cancer-associated genes and cytokines..113

An intact mucosa barrier is the key to protection from Colorectal Cancer development..114

Bifidobacterium

This is what is usually said about Bifidus:

Bifidobacteria come in about 30 different strains, including: Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacteria bifidum  kill tumors and unhealthy bacteria. Research116 shows they prevent and cure IBS symptoms. When combined with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteria bifidum prevent eczema117in newborns.

Bifidobacteria infantis cure IBS, such as abdominal pain, gas, and bloating

Bifidobacteria lactis  improves cholesterol levels in women and in people with type 2 diabetes118.

Again, heavily understated. Like introducing a gold medal Olympic gymnast as someone who can do a nice somersault.

Anti-Covid Properties Bifido Bacteria

A study called “Lost microbes of COVID-19: Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium depletion and decreased microbiome diversity associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity” was published on PubMed in April of 2022 119 It found that people with severe Covid-19 had less Bifido bacteria.

It concludes that Bifido bacteria supplementation is a way to prevent Covid-19.

Here’s what it says:

“We hypothesize that low bacterial diversity and depletion of Bifidobacterium genera either before or after infection led to reduced proimmune function, thereby allowing SARS-CoV-2 infection to become symptomatic. This particular dysbiosis pattern may be a susceptibility marker for symptomatic severity from SARS-CoV-2 infection and may be amenable to preinfection, intrainfection or postinfection intervention”. 120

Food sources Bifido bacteria

We make Bifido bacteria ourselves, so just eating prebiotics (see Chapter d.1.3.) is enough for them to be made in the gut.

It can be found in

Contents d.1.1.c. Streptococcus thermophilus

Anti-Covid Properties Streptococcus Thermophilus

In studies Streptococcus thermophilus did not show any prevention of influenza or improvement in the activity of NK cells. However, they did observe a significant increase in the production of γ-interferon (IFN-γ). 129

Hospitalized Covid-19 patients who received recombinant IFN- γ experienced no progression of respiratory failure and required no transfer to the intensive care unit.130

Health benefits Streptococcus thermophilus

health benefits associated with S. thermophilus include

  • production of antioxidant compounds,
  • risk alleviation for some types of cancer,
  • anti-inflammatory effects, antimutagenic effects and
  • stimulation of the gut immune system131
  • Streptococcus thermophilus produces the enzyme lactase, which the body needs to digest the sugar in milk and other dairy products. Some studies suggest Streptococcus thermophilus can help prevent lactose intolerance132.

Since Streptococcus thermophilus naturally inhabit our gut microbiome, we only have to eat prebiotics to get them. See chapter d.1.c.

Milk kefir, but not water kefir.

The water kefir grain microbiota consist of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), mainly Lactobacillus species, such as Lactobacillus casei/paracasei, Lactobacillus hilgardii, and Lactobacillus nagelii, and yeasts, frequently Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sometimes bifidobacteria, in particular Bifidobacterium aquikefiri, and as a minority also acetic acid bacteria, for instance Acetobacter fabarum, the latter especially upon extended fermentation or fermentation in the presence of oxygen. In general, water kefir grains are reminiscent of milk kefir grains, which are also consortia of the same major groups of microorganisms in a polysaccharide matrix.. However, milk kefir grains can contain species rarely or not at all found in water kefir, such as Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the heteropolysaccharide kefiran, the main component of milk kefir grains. In contrast, the main component of water kefir grains is a homopolysaccharide, dextran, produced by L. hilgardii).135

It’s also not in Kombucha.

 Most Kombucha products are dominated by the probiotic Bacillus coagulans or bacteria capable of fermentation including Lactobacillus nagelii, Gluconacetobacter, Gluconobacter, and Komagataeibacter species. varying levels of enteric bacteria including Bacteroides thetaiotamicron, Escherischia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacteroides fragilis, Enterobacter cloacae complex, and Akkermansia muciniphila. The fungal composition of Kombucha products was characterized by predominance of fermenting yeast including Brettanomyces species and Cyberlindnera jadinii. Kombucha varied widely in chemical content assessed by global untargeted metabolomics, with metabolomic variation being significantly associated with metagenomic profiles. Variation in tea bases, bacteria/yeast starter cultures, and duration of fermentation may all contribute to the observed large differences in the microbial and chemical profiles of final Kombucha products. 136

What about Buttermilk?

Buttermilk today consists mostly of water, the milk sugar lactose, and the milk protein casein. It has been pasteurized and homogenized, and lactic-acid-producing bacteria cultures have been added, which may include Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus bulgaricus.137

Function Lactobacillus delbrueckii

Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus is used extensively as a starter in yogurt manufacture, establishing an associative growth with Streptococcus thermophilus. It is responsible for the production of many compounds that contribute to yogurt flavor, such as acetaldehyde.139

Studies show Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus140, favors the maintenance of an adequate immune response, mainly by slowing the aging of the T cell subpopulations and increasing the number of immature T cells which are potential responders to new antigens141.

Anti-Covid Properties Lactobacillus delbrueckii

Lactobacillus delbrueckii is effective against influenza and is being researched for its effects on Covid-19. 142

A study called “Prophylactic effects of probiotics on respiratory viruses including COVID-19: a review” was published on PMC on May 24, 2021.143 It says:

A bacteriocin originating from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 1043 inhibits influenza virus (H7N1 and H7N7) (Serkedjieva et al., 2000). Until now, the mechanism underlying the antiviral effects of bacteriocins have not been uncovered; therefore, more research is necessary in this field.144

Contents d.1.1.e. Lactobacillus-helveticus

Health benefits Lactobacillus-helveticus

Studies show Lactobacillus-helveticus146 has many health benefits.

Studies in humans show Lactobacillus helveticus promotes overall gut health

A study 147found that consumption of L.helveticus promoted the production of butyrate, which helps with gut balance and stability148.

Lactobacillus helveticus decreases blood pressure

A study149 of 40 participants with high to normal blood pressure found the daily consumption of L.helveticus reduced blood pressure without any adverse effects.

Lactobacillus helveticus reduces anxiety and depression

Lactobacillus helveticus Shortens the length of upper respiratory tract illnesses

This study152which had 39 elite athlete participants, found L. helveticus reduced the length of upper respiratory tract illnesses.

Lactobacillus helveticus has a positive effect on calcium metabolism

In a study 153done in 2016, a group of participants between the ages of 64 and 74 ate yogurt with L. helveticus probiotic every morning. The study found serum calcium levels increased in those who ate the yogurt.

A study 154of postmenopausal women between the ages of 50 and 78 found that there was a positive effect on calcium metabolism in women who were given milk with L. helveticus. It also found that it decreased parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is associated with bone loss.

Lactobacillus helveticus Treats gut infections

d.1.1.f. Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens

n-t-k: Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens protects us against herpes, rota virus, entero virus, diabetes, cancer and Covid. It is a resident of the human microbiome meaning our gut makes itself from Prebiotics (see chapter d.1.3.)

Contents d.1.1.f. Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens

Function and Health Benefits Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens

Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens is involved in mechanisms affecting intestinal health, immunomodulation, control of blood lipid levels, hypertension, antimicrobial action, and protection against diabetes and tumors171.

 Employment of L. kefiri (100 μg/mL) has been shown to enhance the development of antiviral cytokines and human monocyte-derived dendritic cells so that they might be applied as antiviral and anticancer agents 172

The monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) are a subset of dendritic cells widely used in immunological studies as a convenient and easy approach after isolation of mononuclear cells directly from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).173

A dendretic cell is a special type of immune cell that is found in tissues, such as the skin, and boosts immune responses by showing antigens on its surface to other cells of the immune system. 174

The bacterial strain lactic acid Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10,415 can blunt the effects of influenza viruses via direct contact and interactions.175

A monocyte is a large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, greyish cytoplasm.176

A phagocyte is a type of immune cell that can surround and kill microorganisms, ingest foreign material, and remove dead cells. It can also boost immune responses. Monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils are phagocytes. A phagocyte is a type of white blood cell.177

Mononuclear cells refer to blood cells that have a single, round nucleus, such as lymphocytes and monocytes. When isolated from circulating blood, they are called peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), but other sources exist, such as the umbilical cord, spleen, and bone marrow.178

Choi et al. studied the antiviral effect of the cell-free supernatants (CFS) of five yogurts fermented below anaerobic incubation with L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum compared with that of seven RNA viruses (including influenza viruses). They showed that yogurt metabolites fermented with probiotic bacteria could be employed to improve drugs and fermented milk-based foods. 179

A metabolite is a substance made or used when the body breaks down food, drugs or chemicals, or its own tissue (for example, fat or muscle tissue). This process, called metabolism, makes energy and the materials needed for growth, reproduction, and maintaining health.180

Maruo et al. studied the antiviral potential of milk fermented with exopolysaccharide-producing Lactococcus lactis subspecies cremoris in mice. They demonstrated that the mice lungs of the group treated with L. lactis subspecies Cremoris-fermented milk had a significant decrease in the virus titre compared with that of the control group 181

Goto et al. investigated the antiviral outcomes of non-live and live L. acidophilus in mice infected with influenza virus (H1N1). They suggested that the improvement in NK-cell activity in the lung elicited by several antiviral cytokines and chemokines following oral administration of L. acidophilus might protect against influenza-virus infection. 182

A comparison study between a commercially available drug against influenza virus (H1N1) and isolates of L. plantarum showed that the latter had higher efficacy.183

Oral intake of L. rhamnosus improved the survival rate of mice by motivating humoral and cellular immune responses, and presented improved resistance in the host against influenza-virus infection.184

Bae and colleagues screened the antiviral properties of L. plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides probiotics on human seasonal influenza viruses and avian influenza viruses They reported that viral replication in mouse lungs was controlled significantly by these probiotics. Lactobacillus gasseri has several important effects, and shows significant activity against the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the main causative pathogen of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in children. The RSV titre in mice lungs is reduced considerably following L. gasseri treatment, and a similar pattern is observed for expression of proinflammatory cytokines resulting from RSV infection. 185

A cellular proteomic study showed SNF2-related CBP activator protein to be a bioactive molecule in the activity of L. gasseri versus the RSV. In addition, the b-glucans of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown effects against the swine influenza virus by increasing production of IFN-g and nitric oxide .186

To discover which molecules are responsible for suppression of SARS-CoV replication, a yeast-based assay was designed for PLP activity. A set of molecules was screened to test their inhibitory effect of PLP and maintain growth. NSC158362 blocked SARS-CoV replication exclusively, but no effect on the protease, deubiquitinase, or anti-IFN activities of nsp3 was detected, which suggested an inhibitory mechanism for SARS-CoV replication in which PLP activity was not clearly evident. Instead, direct inhibition via modification of PLP function might be expected. Moreover, the activity of PLP proteases was inhibited in a cell-based assay when treated with the suppressor NSC158011.187

Rotaviruses Rotaviruses are the source of diarrhoeal disease in infants and young children. Several studies have demonstrated that Lactobacillus species (e.g., L. casei and L. acidophilus) and Bifidobacterium species (e.g., B. longum) have activity against rotaviruses [. The activity of L. casei and Bifidobacterium species against rotavirus infection has been observed by construction of NSP4 protein and Ca2+ release. The study showed a decrease in the influence of the rotavirus infection by reducing the destruction of the cells .188

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) 

The HSV is the leading cause of herpes infection, which can develop in many parts of the body, but most frequently on the genitals (HSV-2) or mouth (HSV-1) [L. lactis subspecies lactis, L. rhamnosus and L. brevis, and L. crispatus have activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively 189

Enteroviruses 

Enteroviruses are the source of many infections that are, in general, mild. Nevertheless, enterovirus infection of the central nervous system can cause serious health disorders. Most enteroviruses reproduce in the GIT, so LAB can defend against them in the GIT. Numerous studies have shown the activity of commercially available probiotics as antiviral agents against selected enteroviruses. 190

Other viruses

Foodborne viruses, such as noroviruses (NVs) and the hepatitis-A virus, are major public-health concerns that necessitate development of new and efficacious methods to stop foodborne viral infections Aboubakr et al. determined the antiviral activity of probiotic LAB against feline calicivirus (an alternative to human NVs). They demonstrated that use of L. lactis subspecies lactis resulted in a reduction in virus titres. L. reuteri shows significant activity against CA by direct bacteria–virus interaction that impaired CA entry into host cells. Moreover, investigation of the administration of probiotics such as L. acidophilus and Bifidobacteria species revealed an enhanced healing response to anti−HCV treatments by regulation of IFN-α and ribavirin.191

Kefir and its components have a crucial regulatory role in the immune response. In this respect, activity has been reported against the Zika virus, HCV, hepatitis-B virus, influenza virus (H1N1), HSV, rhinoviruses and retroviruses. 192

Antiviral activities of kefir.

Image: Anti viral activities of Kefir193

Anti-Covid Properties Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens

A study called “Kefir: A protective dietary supplementation against viral infection” was published on PMC in January, 2021.194

It says:

“It has been postulated that some COVID-19 patients die after the massive inflammatory response resulting from a cytokine storm involving 1 L-6, IL-1, TNF-α, and IFN-γ.

A proposed initial solution to protect patients from the cytokine storm is blockade of IL-6 function or administration of a compound to suppress inflammation. Kefir can inhibit the activity of proinflammatory cytokines.

Using kefir (and its byproducts) as an inhibitor of expression of proinflammatory cytokines in COVID-19 patients could be a viable policy.195

SARS CoV-2 replication is dependent upon pH, so elucidating the link between kefir consumption and its ability to change the pH would be worthwhile.

Studies have reported the pH of kefir to be acidic (pH 4.6). This acidity is related to different populations of acidic bacteria.

Rea et al. reported that the acidic pH of kefir grains interferes with pathogenic activities.

Because of its ability to produce acidic secondary metabolites and for them to not be degraded, kefir might change the pH in a specific area when it is consumed. Fusion of CoVs occurs in mildly alkaline pH, so ascertaining the connection between kefir consumption and pH alterations in a specific body site and viral infection would be worthwhile.”Based on all studies undertaken on kefir and its probiotic microbes, kefir acts as a protective agent against viral infections.

Koumiss is a dairy product of Turkic and Mongolian origin. It is similar to kefir, but is produced from a liquid starter culture, in contrast to the solid kefir “grains”, and it is made from mare’s milk. Because mare’s milk contains more sugars than cow’s or goat’s milk, when fermented, koumiss has a higher, though still mild, alcohol content compared to kefir. 199

A study design to research the anti-Covid properties of Lactococcus lactis, called:

“Efficacy of Lactococcus lactis strain plasma (LC-Plasma) in easing symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19: protocol for an exploratory, multicentre, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial (PLATEAU study)” was published on September 14, 2022202

The results have yet to be published.

Function and health benefits Lactococcus lactis

Improved Growth,

Improvement of intestinal microbiota

Improvement of digestive enzyme activity

A study was done to evaluate the effects of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis on the growth, intestinal microbiota, digestive enzyme activity, and disease resistance of Litopenaeus vannamei. Diets containing four different concentrations of L. lactis (0 [basal diet], 106, 107, and 108 CFU g-1) were fed to white shrimps L. vannamei (average weight 5.89 ± 0.36 g) for 8 weeks. 203

At the end of the feeding trial, shrimps were immersed in Caspian Seawater (10.8 ppt) contaminated with 106 CFU ml-1 pathogenic V. anguillarum for 2 h.

Results revealed that growth rate, survival, and body protein level were increased with dietary supplementation of L. lactis.

The activities of digestive enzymes (cellulose, lipase, amylase, and protease) were significantly higher in the groups fed with diets containing 107 or 108 CFU g-1 L. lactis than those in the control. The Lactobacillus and Bacillus counts were higher (P < 0.05) in the intestine of shrimps fed with L. lactis-supplemented diets. In addition, higher level of L. lactis supplementation decreased the Vibrio counts.

Moreover, L. vannamei fed diet supplemented with 108 CFU g-1 of L. lactis exhibited significantly the highest hematocyte count and post-challenge survival rate (79.2 %).

Collectively, these results suggest that dietary supplementation of L. lactis subsp. lactis at 108 CFU g-1 can promote growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, and disease resistance of L. vannamei.

Role of Probiotics in the Management of COVID-19: A Computational Perspective, MDPI, January 10, 2022,

A malnutrition ecosystem of COVID-19 patients with decreased probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, may hinder recovery. This suggests that the fine-tuning of host-microbiota balance in the lung and gut could be useful in fighting against COVID-19. Given the ability of probiotics in immunomodulation, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral effects, the use of probiotics may be a way to support the reconstitution of the gut microbiota. These benefits could be elucidated if the molecular insight is known on how probiotics or their metabolites can prevent or reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection.212

Function and Health benefit Lactobacillus Lactis

Why is it so important to have this in your diet daily?

1. Because it makes Vitamin K2. from Vitamin K1.

2.We need to take Lactobacillus lactis every day, because it is a visitor in our microbiome, not a permanent resident.

Also make sure to have plenty of Vitamin K1 in your diet, from which the Lactobacillus lactis makes vitamin K2.

A study was done that concluded Vitamin K1 wasn’t effective against heart disease, while Vitamin K2 was.213But did they take the microbiome of the test subjects into account ? Probably not. While ultra specialization has its benefits, one of its drawbacks is that they never seem to see the whole picture

Vitamin K1 is transformed into vitamin K2 by Lactobacillus lactis, a welcome visitor, but not a permanent resident in the human microbiome. It needs to be introduced and re-invited daily.

Besides, K2 food sources aren’t K2 food sources unless they have been made with Vitamin K1, That means cheese is only a K2 source if the animals it comes from had K1 in their diet. Fermented foods only have K2 if they were made with K1. I’ll come back to it in the Vitamins section d.5.D.5. Vitamin K2 Menaquinone

Lactobacillus tasks

Image: Lactobacillus tasks, Lactobacillus inhibits pathogens in a direct manner by producing various compounds such as lactic acid, biosurfactants, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocin. In addition, they promote the integrity of the epithelium through stimulating mucus secretion and regulate the immune cells through inhibiting the bacterial and viral pathogens.214

Lactic acid and acetic acid, which are end products of lactic bacilli, are the most important organic acids in vinegar, accounting for more than 90% of the total acid, which are produced by LAB and AAB.215

Stability of Lactobacillus Lactis

Scientists have found216 that the effects of probiotics wear off within 1-3 weeks after you stop taking them. 217 But that’s the case for probiotics that take residency. In the gut. Since Lactobacillus Lactis is a guest microbe that never takes residence in the gut, and since it is so important, make sure to have it your diet every day.

Food sources Lactobacillus Lactis:

Apple cider Vinegar218

  • Kefir, Water kefir as well as Milk Kefir
  • Kombucha
  • Yogurt.
  • Sauerkraut.
  • Sourdough bread
  • Buttermilk219

That was the conclusion of a study published February 8, 2023, Effect of acetic acid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2

It said:

“We tested the SARS-CoV-2 antiviral activity of acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, in vitro. Inactivation and binding assays suggest that acetic acid is virucidal. We found that 6% acetic acid, a concentration typically found in white distilled vinegar, effectively inactivated SARS-CoV-2 after 15-min incubation with a complete loss of replication of competent virus as measured by TCID50. Transmission electron microscopy further demonstrated that 6% acetic acid disrupts SARS-CoV-2 virion structure. In addition, 6% acetic acid significantly inhibits and disrupts the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding to ACE2, the primary SARS-CoV-2 cell receptor, after contact with spike protein for 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes incubation. 224

The best way to eat probiotics:

As is the case with virtually all bacteria and yeast, probiotic cultures cannot live above 120 °F, or 48,8 degrees Celsius.225 So eat them for breakfast in a muesli or in salads without heating them if you want them to retain their probiotic activity. For recipe’s see d.7.d

Stability of probiotics

Aside from the earlier mentioned enemies of probiotics, probiotics cannot be processed or heated. Approximately 83 percent of the cultures could be killed in 30 minutes or less at 145 ° F. (is 62.8 ° C) The thermal death times at 136 ° F (is 57.8 ° C).226

Scientists have found227 that the effects of probiotics wear off within 1-3 weeks after you stop taking them. 228

d.1.1.i. Enemies of the gut microbiome

n-t-k: Pathogens tend to grow a lot faster than beneficial microbes. Therefor harming the microbiome is so devastating. The place left by killed off beneficial microbes is soon filled up with pathogens, making it harder for the beneficial bacteria to return. It can take months for the microbiome toe restore after I has been harmed, So be careful never to harm it. Avoid the following toxins:

Contents d.1.1.i. Enemies of the gut microbiome

Alcohol abuse

Alcohol abuse causes dysbiosis in the microbiome. That was said in a study called: “The Gastrointestinal Microbiome: Alcohol Effects on the Composition of Intestinal Microbiota”, which was published on PubMed in 2015,229

It says:

“Studies highlight the importance of changes in the intestinal microbiota in alcohol-related disorders. Alcohol-induced changes in the GIT microbiota composition and metabolic function may contribute to the well-established link between alcohol-induced oxidative stress, intestinal hyperpermeability to luminal bacterial products, and the subsequent development of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), as well as other diseases. In addition, clinical and preclinical data suggest that alcohol-related disorders are associated with quantitative and qualitative dysbiotic changes in the intestinal microbiota and may be associated with increased GIT inflammation, intestinal hyperpermeability resulting in endotoxemia, systemic inflammation, and tissue damage/organ pathologies including ALD. Thus, gut-directed interventions, such as probiotic and synbiotic modulation of the intestinal microbiota, should be considered and evaluated for prevention and treatment of alcohol-associated pathologies.” 230

Antibiotics

A study called “Antibiotic-induced changes in the human gut microbiota for the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in primary care in the UK: a systematic review” was published on PubMed, on September 21, 2020.231 It says:

antibiotics impact the gut microbiota by causing rapid and diminished levels of bacterial diversity and changes in relative abundances. After cessation of treatment, gut bacteria recover, in most individuals, to their baseline state within a few weeks. Some studies suggested longer term effects from 2 to 6 months.232

Vaccines

A study called “Interaction between gut microbiota and COVID-19 and its vaccines.” was published on PMC on October 28,2022. It says: “w

“COVID-19 vaccines also make a substantial impact on the gut microbiota, re-ducing its overall population and biodiversity.”233

Smoking

A study called “Smoking and the intestinal microbiome” was published on PubMed on April 6, 2018.234 It says:

“We selected studies that were published between the years 2000 and 2016 as our inclusion criteria. Observational and interventional studies suggest that the composition of intestinal microbiome is altered due to smoking. In these studies, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes phyla were increased, as well as the genera of Clostridium, Bacteroides and Prevotella. On the other hand, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes phyla as well as the genera Bifidobacteria and Lactococcus were decreased. Smoking also decreased the diversity of the intestinal microbiome. Mechanisms that have been suggested to explain the effect of smoking on intestinal microbiome include: oxidative stress enhancement, alterations of intestinal tight junctions and intestinal mucin composition, and changes in acid-base balance. Interestingly, some smoking-induced alterations of intestinal microbiome resemble those demonstrated in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and obesity.” 235

Coffee

Coffee consumption was categorized into three groups: non-coffee-consumers (0–3 mL/day), moderate consumers (3–45 mL/day) and high-coffee consumers (45–500 mL/day). Some relevant groups of the gut microbiota were determined by qPCR, and concentration of fecal short chain fatty acids by gas chromatography. Serum health related biomarkers were determined by standardized methods. Interestingly, a higher level of Bacteroides–Prevotella–Porphyromonas was observed in the high consumers of coffee, who also had lower levels of lipoperoxidation. Two groups of coffee-derived (poly)phenol, methoxyphenols and alkylphenols, and caffeine, among alkaloids, were directly associated with Bacteroides group levels. Thus, regular consumption of coffee appears to be associated with changes in some intestinal microbiota groups in which dietary (poly)phenol and caffeine may play a role.236

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

A study called: “Effects of high fructose corn syrup on intestinal microbiota structure and obesity in mice” was published on PubMed, on March 2, 2022. It says:

“We investigated the effects of HFCS-containing drinking water on body fat, intestinal microbiota structure of mice, and the relationships between them. HFCS drinking water significantly increased body fat content and altered the intestinal microbiome.” 237

Pesticides

A study called “Chronic Effects of Dietary Pesticides on the Gut Microbiome and Neurodevelopment” was published on PubMed on June 30, 2022.238 It says: “Recent studies have shown that low-level chronic dietary exposure to pesticides can affect the human gut microbiota.”239

Trans fats

A study called: “Trans Fatty Acid Intake Induces Intestinal Inflammation and Impaired Glucose Tolerance” was published on PMC on April 29, 2021.240 It says:

“Taken together, the present study revealed that the intake of trans-fatty acids and saturated fatty acids caused dysbiosis and associated immune changes in the intestine, and significantly aggravated metabolic diseases such as diabetes and fatty live when compared with the intake of normal diet, and this was more pronounced for trans-fatty acids. In addition, trans-fatty acids strongly activate the differentiation of RORgt-positive ILC3 into T-bet-positive ILC3 by promoting the secretion of IL-12 from macrophages more strongly than saturated fatty acids.”241

Neurodevelopment is a term referring to the brain’s development of neurological pathways that influence performance or functioning (e.g., intellectual functioning, reading ability, social skills, memory, attention or focus skills). When you learn to do just about anything, you are improving neurodevelopment.242

Chemotherapy

A study called: “Chemotherapy-Induced Intestinal Microbiota Dysbiosis Impairs Mucosal Homeostasis by Modulating Toll-like Receptor Signaling Pathways,” was published on, PMC on August 31, 2021.243 It says:

“Chemotherapy can shape intestinal microbiota, which, in turn, can aggravate the mucositis through toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways, leading to an increased expression of inflammatory mediators and elevated epithelial cell apoptosis but decreased epithelial cell differentiation and mucosal regeneration.”244

Radiation

A study called: “Radiotherapy and the gut microbiome: facts and fiction,” published on PubMed on January 13, 2021, says:

“radiotherapy can disrupt the microbiome.”245

d.1.2.Removing pathogens from skin without damaging the skin’s microbiome

Skin, that has its own microbiome as well! The skin is the primary defense against pathogens.

Healthy skin has twice the number of T-cells that blood has.

Immunology in the skin

As the largest organ of the human body, skin is colonized by beneficial microorganisms and serves as a physical barrier to prevent the invasion of pathogens 248.

The skin’s microbiome:

In circumstances where the barrier is broken or when the balance between commensals and pathogens is disturbed, skin disease or even systemic disease can result 250.

n-t-k: Skin, that has its own microbiome as well! The skin is the primary defense against pathogens.

Healthy skin has twice the number of T-cells that blood has. In circumstances where the barrier is broken or when the balance between commensals and pathogens is disturbed, skin disease or even systemic disease can result

Alcohol, bleach and chemical disinfectants are not the solution, since they harm the skin, poison the body and break down the natural immunity the skin has.

As for soap: aside from the toxic ingredients it usually has, normal soap doesn’t even take off bacteria after 4 minutes of washing.

Here’s what the science says about what the best ways are to wash our hands, what doesn’t work, and why:

Contents dad.2.a. The best way to wash hands without disturbing the skin’s microbiome





d.1.2. a.1. Study shows Soap and water are ineffective, and sometimes even counter productive ways of cleaning hands

It’s possible for soap to be crawling with bacteria If you’re storing your soap improperly, such as leaving it in a wet puddle on the edge of your sink, it gives bacteria a fertile place to multiply. When you use it, you basically wind up transferring germs from the soap directly to your hands.

In a thorough study of soap contamination, one team of U.S. researchers found that even among test subjects with great hand washing technique — more on that in a minute — soap that was already contaminated wound up increasing the number of bacteria on the subjects’ hands after washing.

The scientists tested three types of soap dispenser, in both lab and real-world settings.

Of the three variants, the dispensers that were refillable from a giant bottle of liquid soap were by far the filthiest, leading to a 26-fold increase in hand washers’ bacteria levels.

Modular dispensers that relied on sealed refills stayed clean even after a year of use.

In short, both the nature of the dispenser as well as the cleanliness of the soap itself can have a major impact on how clean your hands are after washing.

How helpful for disinfecting hands is antibacterial soap, anyway?

In a head-to-head test of antibacterial and regular soap, antibacterial soap has an inherent advantage.

One study has shown that a 15-second hand washing session with regular soap successfully reduced E. coli by 1.72 log10, compared to 2.90 log10 for antibacterial soap.

But after doubling the time spent washing, the amount of bacteria removed skyrocketed (for antibacterial soap, the figure was 3.33 log10).

Increasing the volume of soap used seemed to help in the case of antibacterial soap, but there seemed to be a ceiling for regular soap beyond which more time and more soap did virtually nothing.

Why?

The level of bacterial reduction caused by nonantimicrobial soap is due to its surfactants, which physically remove bacteria. Once maximum removal is achieved, soap amount and wash time do not improve surfactancy. Antimicrobial soap provides both surfactancy and biocidal modes of action.

In other words, regular soap simply causes bacteria to loosen their grip on your hands, to be rinsed away. That helps explain why using water alone still seems to work just fine, as long as you rub your hands together vigorously. By contrast, antibacterial soap has additives that are designed to kill bacteria outright.251

Here are the results of study mentioned in the article:

Sample images from a controlled study (Table 2) to determine the number of bacteria from contaminated hands transferred to an agar surface before (A and C) and after (B and D) hand washing with soap containing 4.51 log10 CFU/ml (A and B) or 7.51 log10 CFU/ml (C and D) of S. marcescens.

Recovery and transfer of bacteria from hands after washing with contaminated liquid soap in an elementary school.

An elementary school was identified in which all (14/14) of the bulk-soap-refillable dispensers being used in the restrooms were found to be contaminated with bacteria at levels ranging from 6.0 to 7.0 log10 CFU/ml of soap.

A variety of Gram-negative species from the Citrobacter, Providencia, Pseudomonas, and Serratia genera were identified among the recovered contaminants. 94.1

The battle between beneficial microbes and pathogens isn’t only going on in our guts. It’s also going on on our skin and in our surroundings. So when we are cleaning ourselves, we want smart disinfectants, that, like our immune system, kill pathogens without harming beneficial microbes.252

Anti bacterial soap, achieves the opposite of what it claims.253 Instead of ridding the body from bacteria, it aids in creating a super resistant bacteria. The reason is that aside from destroying the natural oils on the skin and the skin flora the soap just kills weak pathogens and aids in creating super strong strains.254

The investigators evaluated IAV (influenza A Virus) inactivation in antiseptic hand rubbing (AHR) with EBDs (Ethanol Based Disinfectants) and antiseptic hand washing (AHW) methods among the mucus that adhered to the hands and fingers of 10 volunteers. While IAV in saline was completely inactivated by AHR using EBD after 30 seconds, IAV in all mucus samples remained active even after AHR for a full 2 minutes. It was not completely inactivated by AHR until 4 minutes of hand rubbing with EBDs, the investigators found.

And if you scrub your hands with a standard hand sanetizer for 4 minutes, your skin will be damaged, your immune system weakened with all sorts of hormone disrupters and cancer causing agents.255

Consumer Report says: “As with previous studies, the new research found that using hand sanitizer can remove the flu virus, but it took far longer than hand-washing did. One of the main reasons, the researchers found, is that the mucus from the mouth and nose—which contains the flu virus if you’re infected—makes it difficult for the alcohol in hand sanitizers to penetrate.”

“Use hand sanitizer (with at least 60 percent alcohol) only if a sink isn’t available. But keep in mind that while hand sanitizers have some effect on cold and flu viruses, they don’t eliminate all types of germs from hands. For instance, they don’t killClostridium difficile, a “superbug” that causes severe diarrhea that can occur as a side effect of antibiotics. Hand sanitizers also don’t do a good job of cleaning visibly dirty hands.”256

And studies have shown that antibacterial products don’t kill viruses, which cause some of the most common illnesses, such as colds and the flu.

d.1.2. a.2. Vinegar disinfects better than alcohol without harming the skin’s microbiome.

Vinegar , on the other hand, does cross the mucus barrier of viruses. Vinegar is very disinfecting, even better than alcohol and it softens your hands instead of drying them out. like soap does, and it kills pathogens without harming the beneficial microbes, or the natural oils on the skin.257

Why not alcohol, while studies show alcohol less irritating than soap258

Because alcohol changes the skin’s pH, changes the skin’s microbiome, and dries out the skin. 259

Vinegar and essential oils on the other hand kill pathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi instantly, without harming the skin flora and the natural oils on our skin, another brilliant way our immune system protects us.

Vinegar, is even beneficial for skin.260

That is to be preferred by far, because a remedy that harms is not a remedy, it’s a toxin. Remedies should be beneficial all round. Bringing a solution that harms the body’s own solution is not beneficial, It’s harmful.

Does vinegar really kill household germs?

“It’s certainly inexpensive, non-toxic and biodegradable and has been used as a common disinfectant for thousands of years.

But especially if you want to clean your kitchen or your bathroom, you might be wondering about household germs. Does vinegar really kill them?

It seems the answer is a qualified “yes”.

How does it work?

Vinegar, be it white or malt or rosemary-infused, is 6 percent acetic acid. The acid kills bacteria and viruses, by chemically changing the proteins and fats that make up these nasties and destroying their cell structures.

Does vinegar kill germs?

Yes. Acetic acid (a.k.a. white vinegar) is a great disinfectant. It also acts as a deodorizer and cuts grease.

You can tackle salmonella, E. coli and other “gram-negative” bacteria with vinegar. Gram-negative bacteria can cause pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream, wound or surgical site infections.261

How does it work?

The acid in vinegar crosses the bacteria’s cell membrane, prompting a release of protons, which causes the cell to die.

White vinegar found on most store shelves is a five per cent concentration of acetic acid. It kills about 80 per cent of germs. Look for stronger concentrations at eco-friendly stores that have refill stations.

Use full strength for tough cleaning jobs or dilute 50:50 with water.

Five ways to clean with vinegar

  1. Fill your dishwasher rinse agent dispenser with white vinegar.
  2. Soak sweat-stained white clothing in about 70 milliliters of white vinegar and enough water to cover the stain. Leave overnight. Wash with eco-friendly laundry soap.
  3. Soak rusty tools in a pail of white vinegar and brush to clean.
  4. To deodorize your toilet, pour 125 milliliters of white vinegar into the bowl. Let sit 15 minutes. Flush. (We use boiled vinegar, leave it in for a few hours, and then flush with soda to make it pH neutral)
  5. To remove hard water deposits on your tub/glass shower doors, heat 250 milliliters of white vinegar in a pot. Spray onto surface. Let sit 15 minutes and wipe clean262.

We have soap dispensers filled with vinegar at all sinks. Ordinary white vinegar, which you can also put on your salad.

And since SARS-CoV-2 is a relatively weak virus, you can safely assume Vinegar kills that too.

But luckily you can do more than assume, because it is science backed!

Anti-Covid Properties Vinegar

A study263 published in the journal PLOS ONE 264 as well as on PubMed 265 on February 8, 2023, demonstrates the effectiveness of acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, in inactivating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). 266

The study gives the following description of Covid-19:

The human coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a respiratory pathogen that emerged in late 2019. As of February 21st, 2022, there were 5,892,174 deaths with a total of 425,430,279 confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide, SARS-CoV-2 can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to severe pneumonia and lead to death. Additional symptoms include myalgia, diarrhea, and constipation at the onset of illness. SARS-CoV-2 can also cause multi-organ disease and hypercoagulation In most cases, viral replication occurs in the upper respiratory epithelia via binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which increases immune responses by cytokine storm. Even COVID-19 patients with mild or no symptoms may have high viral loads and be highly contagious, which has greatly worsened the pandemic. COVID-19 has a common characteristic of transmission from infected to non-infected individuals by direct spread via respiratory droplets when sneezing or coughing, as well as indirect virus transmission through contact with contaminated surfaces. Therefore, it is imperative to utilize effective and cost-efficient means to inactivate high frequency contact and other potentially contaminated surfaces to prevent the spread of infection.267

But there are more symptoms:

Study design

The study examined the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of white distilled vinegar, which contains 6% acetic acid. The virus neutralization by acetic acid was tested by a modified version of the Median Tissue Culture Infectious Dose (TCID50) assay.

Morphological analysis of acetic acid-treated SARS-CoV-2 was performed by transmission electron microscopy. The ability of acetic acid to block the interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain (RBD) and human ACE2 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2

The findings of TCID50 assay revealed that the exposure to 6% acetic acid for 15 minutes caused complete long-term inhibition of viral replication.

In general, coronaviruses are round-shaped structures with a diameter of approximately 80 nm. The transmission electron microscopic analysis of untreated SARS-CoV-2 revealed morphologically intact structures similar to coronaviruses belonging to the Coronaviridae family.

The treatment of SARS-CoV-2 with 6% acetic acid caused significant alterations in viral morphology, including misshapen structures, reduced number of viral particles, and disorganized virion structure.

Vinegar kills SARS-CoV-2 virus

Scale bar = A-B 100nm. Insets are shown from additional images of the same sample.

Spike RBD – ACE2 interaction

The findings of ELISA revealed that the treatment with 6% acetic acid significantly inhibited the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD with human ACE2 at all tested timepoints (5, 10, 30, and 60 minutes). The highest inhibition by 6% acetic acid was observed at a 30-minute timepoint.269

30 minutes is still a long time. How can we shorten that? With essential oils! A welcome addition since they tend to smell a lot better.

d.1.2. a.3. Studies show Essential Oils kill pathogens without harming the skin’s microbiome.

We also have small bottles of lavender270 essential oil271 at all sinks. To still have a nice scent, you can rub a drop of it in your hands after washing your hands with vinegar. Not just for the wonderful fragrance, but also because of the anti viral, anti microbial and anti-fungal properties of many essential oils.272

Just lemon peels are also excellent for washing hands and washing the dishes. They stay fresh.

Anti-Viral Properties Essential oils

These are studies on the anti viral activity of essential oils.

A study called

“Comparative study on the antiviral activity of selected monoterpenes derived from essential oils,” was published on PubMed, may 24, 2010:

“Essential oils are complex natural mixtures, their main constituents, e.g. terpenes and phenylpropanoids, being responsible for their biological properties. Essential oils from eucalyptus, tea tree and thyme and their major monoterpene compounds alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, alpha-pinene, p-cymene, terpinen-4-ol, alpha-terpineol, thymol, citral and 1,8-cineole were examined for their antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in vitro. These essential oils were able to reduce viral infectivity by >96%, the monoterpenes inhibited HSV by about >80%. The mode of antiviral action has been determined, only moderate antiviral effects were revealed by essential oils and monoterpenes when these drugs were added to host cells prior to infection or after entry of HSV into cells. However, both essential oils and monoterpenes exhibited high anti-HSV-1 activity by direct inactivation of free virus particles. All tested drugs interacted in a dose-dependent manner with herpesvirus particles thereby inactivating viral infection. Among the analysed compounds, monoterpene hydrocarbons were slightly superior to monoterpene alcohols in their antiviral activity, alpha-pinene and alpha-terpineol revealed the highest selectivity index. However, mixtures of different monoterpenes present in natural tea tree essential oil revealed a ten-fold higher selectivity index and a lower toxicity than its isolated single monoterpenes”. 273

Moonoterpene hydrocarbons are Monoterpenes comprising hydrocarbons. They are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites and are commonly found in essential oils. 274

So this study concluded that essential oils have a higher anti viral activity than alcohol. And they have the added bonus of enhancing the skin’s microbiome instead of destroying it. 275

Some specific dietary sources of monoterpenes include d-limonene in orange and other citrus peel oils, caraway and dill; perillyl alcohol in cherry and spearmint; carvone in caraway and spearmint; and geraniol in lemongrass oil, an ingredient in herbal teas.276

Anti-Covid Properties Essential oils

A study from March 2021 says:

“Essential oils and oleoresins have been shown through in vitro and in vivo experiments to induce antiviral effects against Coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus. A study reported 221 phytochemical compounds and essential oils to be effective against severe acute respiratory syndrome associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) using a cell-based assay measuring SARS-CoV-induced cytopathogenic effect on Vero E6 cells. The main mechanism of antiviral effects of essential oils has been found to cause capsid disintegration and viral expansion which prevents the virus to infect host cells by adsorption via the capsid. Essential oils also inhibit hemagglutinin (an important membrane protein of various viruses) of certain viruses; this membrane protein allows the virus to enter the host cell. Many essential oils and their components could inhibit the late stages of viral life cycle by targeting the redox signaling pathway. Essential oils of Thymus vulgaris, cymbopogon citratus and Rosmarinus officinalis have been found to destabilize the Tat/TAR-RNA complex of HIV-1 virus, this complex being essential for HIV-1 replication. Being lipophilic in nature, essential oils can penetrate viral membranes easily leading to membrane disintegration”. 277

These are the strongest anti viral essential oils:

Now anti viral does not mean you can use it straight on your skin, like tou can with mild oils like Lavender282 and Eucalyptus globulus. Often you have to dilute them in a carrier oil like sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil, Some of these oils are are irritating for the skin no matter how much you dilute them so be very careful. Research before you use them. I will put an x after the irritating ones that you need to dilute and a double xx if they stay irritating, even if you dilute them. Those might be better to use as spices in tea rather than as essential oils:

d.1.2.a. 4.Washing hands without harming the skin’s microbiome (sv.)

For a toxin 284free way of washing hands, put a few pinches of Ashwagandha powder in vinegar, put that in a soap dispenser, and put some lavender oil in a vaporizer, say 7 drops in 15 ml of filtered water. Use the vinegar and Ashwagandha to wash your hands and spray on the lavender afterwards. This kills pathogens without harming your skins microbiome.

To make a powerful antiseptic hand wash, put some rose oil and Ashwagandha in vinegar-acid-or-basin a soap dispenser at the sink and use that to wash your hands.

For clean nails, dissolve some aluminum free sodium bicarbonate in water and use that with a nail brush, for example each day in the shower, but you can also keep it by the sink.285

d.1.2.b. Removing pathogens from the rest of the body without harming the microbiome

n-t-k: Natural solutions to avoid the harsh chemicals normally in care products means your skin stays healthy. I went from burning alive in the sun to not even needing sunscreen anymore, that’s how much stronger my skin became. The chemicals in normal care products harm your immunity. The wrong mouthwash can mean that you kill the microbes in saliva that turn nitrate into nitric oxide. Nitrate is carcinogenic, nitric oxide is important for making Happiness Proteins.

d.1.2.b.1.E4dc shower routine

Your skin is your biggest organ and you need it to produce vitamin D from UV light, preferably from the sun. This toxin free shower routine replaces all the toxins that are usually in shower products with healthy products that make your skin and hair healthy,  make sun blocks unnecessary, prevent hair loss from sodium lauryl sulfate and  prevent all the other nasty, cancer causing effects many ingredients in the usual commercial care products have.289

Step 1

Have a nail brush in the shower in a small bowl with of aluminum free cleaning soda and water, and clean your nails with it.

Step 1a. Once a week you can use the same soda water mixture to wash your hair.

Rinse well and pay attention that it does not come into your eyes!

Step 2: Fill a soap dispenser with plain white vinegar and a pinch of Ashwagandha powder.  Wash your hair and skin with that. This is a good time to also comb your hair, because the vinegar makes it soft and easy to comb. Have a small cup in the shower you can use as a garbage can.

Step 3: Have a jar with lemon peels in filtered water in the shower. They stay fresh very long that way. Use 1/8th of a lemon peel and use that to wash your skin and hair with that. When you are finished with that you can use it as a deodorant. Citric acid acts as an effective odor neutralizer by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria and disrupting the chemical reactions that lead to unpleasant smells. Additionally, the refreshing citrus scent of lemons provides a natural fragrance that leaves you feeling clean and invigorated. 290Any citrus peel works. Or you can make lemon vinegar from them by collecting them in a jar of white vinegar and straining the peels out when it is full.

Step 4:To replace soap and shampoo in the shower, a tablespoon of lavender flowers in an old sock, for example, is sufficient or just a washcloth. Put a knot at the top to prevent the flowers from spilling out. And no, lavender is not feminizing. Any alpha estrogen receptor binding phyto estrogen is neutralized by a good gut microbiome, and turned into beneficial nutrients.

Of course you can also choose to use another herb that is good for your skin if that is easier to come by in your area, like rosemary.

Chamomile flowers are also possible, but you have to refresh those sooner because they lose their freshness sooner than lavender does.

Use a strainer if you want to rinse and wash the sock to avoid making a mess with the flowers.

This is good step to combine with any shaving routines you might have.

After drying yourself, follow this up with brushing your teeth with the Oil & Herbs Toothpaste and moisturizing your skin with the Mariëtte oil.

Lavender

Image: Lavender291

The claims that lavender would be endocrine disruptive 292 were based on a sloppy study with a small sample size of only 3, using a mixed oil and have been definitively been debunked by several studies293, 2 of which in 2022 proving once and for all that lavender, which only has an estrogen count of 1000 picograms per milliliter (pg/ml) compared to soy, which has 100.000 pg/ml A picogram is one-trillionth of a gram.294 And while flax has a phyto estrogen count of 100.000 pg/ml, it is not an endocrine disrupter either, because it binds to the beta estrogen receptor, which is good, while soy binds to the alpha estrogen receptor, which is bad. Lavender and flax clean up disruptive phyto estrogens, so they actually prevent endocrine disruption! Links to the studies mentioned can be found in chapter 8.2.3.

d.1.2.b.2.Tooth care:1. Oils &Herbs teeth nourishing toothpaste and 2.Mineral Mouthwash

Toothpaste usually has toxins in it295, and even the ones that don’t have toxins have ingredients that are too abrasive and damage teeth. Here is a recipe for a toothpaste that has all the minerals and herbs that help teeth be cavity free and white without being abrasive:

d.1.2.b.2.1. Oils &Herbs teeth nourishing toothpaste

Use 1 tablespoon of each of these herbs and grind them to a powder in a mortar and pestle

  • German Chamomile flowers
  • Caraway seed
  • Turmeric
  • Black Pepper
  • Dried Plantago
  • Dried nettle
  • Dried Sage
  • Dried Peppermint leaf
  • Dried Oregano
  • Dried Parsley
  • Cacao

Mix that in a bowl with a table spoon of

  • non deodorized organic virgin coconut oil,
  • organic extra virgin olive oil Multiple studies have demonstrated that olive oil can help prevent Pariodontitis and protect the gums. Some of the studies have also concluded that olive oil can help prevent dental caries and aids in overall oral health.296
  • organic extra virgin sesame oil and Grape seed oil is good for remineralizing teeth Grape seed extract significantly increases the micro-hardness of the lesions (P=0.03). The morphology of Grape seed extract treated enamel was clearly different from that in the control group, and there were deposits of scaffolding insoluble complexes on the enamel surface.297

If necessary add more coconut oil until you have a nice paste,

Put that in a jar

After flossing and picking your teeth, cleaning your tongue and rinsing your mouth, put a pea sized measure on a toothbrush and brush for two minutes.

Then without rinsing, add a sip of mouthwash.

If you have a problem with green toothpaste, you cam also mix non deodorized organic virgin coconut oil, organic extra virgin olive oil, peppermint essential oil, clove essential oil and sage essential oil You can even squeeze that in a tube to make it look like commercial toothpaste.

d.1.2.b.2.2. Mineral Mouthwash recipe

A recipe for a mouthwash that kills pathogens, not good bacteria. Why is that important?

A study called: “The nitrate–nitrite–nitric oxide pathway in physiology and therapeutics”, was published in Nature, in February 2008,298

It says:

“Special bacteria in the mouth convert nitrate to nitric oxide. In fact, humans cannot produce nitric oxide from nitrate without these bacteria.” 299

Nitric oxide increases dopamine and serotonin release in the medial preoptic area

Image: The Medial Preoptic Area300 is in the hypothalamus.301

The salivary glands and oral bacteria play an essential role in the conversion process from nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) to nitric oxide (NO) in the human body. Nitric Oxide is, at present, recognized as a multifarious messenger molecule with important vascular and metabolic functions. Besides the endogenous L-arginine pathway, which is catalyzed by complex Nitric Oxide syntheses, nitrate in food contributes to the main extrinsic generation of Nitric Oxide through a series of sequential steps (NO3 – NO2 – NO pathway). Up to 25% of nitrate in circulation is actively taken up by the salivary glands, and as a result, its concentration in saliva can increase 10- to 20-fold. However, the mechanism has not been clearly illustrated until recently, when sialin was identified as an electrogenic 2NO3-/H+ transporter in the plasma membrane of salivary acinar cells. Subsequently, the oral bacterial species located at the posterior part of the tongue reduce nitrate to nitrite, as catalyzed by nitrate reductase enzymes. These bacteria use nitrate and nitrite as final electron acceptors in their respiration and meanwhile help the host to convert nitrate to Nitric Oxide as the first step.302

Anti-bacterial mouthwash destroys bacteria in your mouth that can contribute to the growth of cavities and other dental diseases.

Unfortunately, anti-bacterial mouthwash kills all types of bacteria, including the beneficial ones that help produce nitric oxide.

Research has shown that anti-bacterial mouthwash kills the oral bacteria needed to produce nitric oxide for up to 12 hours.

This leads to a decrease in nitric oxide production and, in some instances, an increase in blood pressure.

The detrimental effects of anti-bacterial mouthwash on nitric oxide production may even contribute to the development of diabetes, which is characterized by malfunctions in insulin production or action.

This is because nitric oxide also regulates insulin, which helps cells utilize the energy obtained from food after it’s digested. Without nitric oxide, insulin cannot work properly.

One study found that people who used mouthwash at least twice daily were 65% more likely to develop diabetes than those who never use an anti-bacterial mouthwash.303,

This is what the study says:

Recent studies surprisingly show that dietary inorganic nitrate, abundant in vegetables, can be metabolized in vivo to form nitrite and then bioactive nitric oxide. A reduction in blood pressure was recently noted in healthy volunteers after dietary supplementation with nitrate; an effect consistent with formation of vasodilatory nitric oxide. Oral bacteria have been suggested to play a role in bioactivation of nitrate by first reducing it to the more reactive anion nitrite. In a cross-over designed study in seven healthy volunteers we examined the effects of a commercially available chlorhexidine-containing antibacterial mouthwash on salivary and plasma levels of nitrite measured after an oral intake of sodium nitrate (10mg/kg dissolved in water). In the control situation the salivary and plasma levels of nitrate and nitrite increased greatly after the nitrate load. Rinsing the mouth with the antibacterial mouthwash prior to the nitrate load had no effect on nitrate accumulation in saliva or plasma but abolished its conversion to nitrite in saliva and markedly attenuated the rise in plasma nitrite. We conclude that the acute increase in plasma nitrite seen after a nitrate load is critically dependent on nitrate reduction in the oral cavity by commensal bacteria. The removal of these bacteria with an antibacterial mouthwash will very likely attenuate the NO-dependent biological effects of dietary nitrate.304

Therefore, to maintain adequate nitric oxide production, use mouthwash that kills pathogens but not friendly bacteria,.305

Here’s a recipe for that:

  • -one teaspoon of diatomaceous earth: (3 percent magnesium, 5 percent sodium, 2 percent iron, 19 percent calcium and 33 percent silicon, along with several other trace minerals.)
  • -one teaspoon of healing earth
  • -a table spoon of Himalayan salt
  • -a capsule of activated charcoal
  • -a teaspoon of turmeric
  • -a teaspoon of black pepper
  • -a tea spoon of echinacea powder
  • -fill the jar half way with water.
  • -then add organic extra virgin sesame oil-
  • -a table spoon of organic extra virgin olive oil
  • -a drop of peppermint Arvensis essential oil
  • -a drop of clove essential oil

Put the lid on the jar and shake well.

Then fill the jar with the filtered water.

Keep rinsing while you get dressed for the day or change clothes for bedtime.

Then spit out in a jar which you empty in the compost each day, since the oils can’t be spit out in the sink, it will clog the drain.

Make sure not swallow it, since that can cause calcium toxicity, which can lead to cardiac arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis!

Then rinse your mouth and teeth thoroughly with a water pick, making sure none of the minerals remain in the mouth, since that is too abrasive.

d.1.2.b.3. Microbiome sparing skin care

n-t-k.: While skin does not breathe, and the Bond girl dying from being painted gold is a myth306, there are still plenty of reasons to pay attention to what you put on it.307 Making my own with only pure, natural ingredients was a revelation for me, and a better experience than even the most expensive products I used before, and others who have tried it agree and don’t want anything else.

Contents d.1.2.b.3. Microbiome sparing skin care

d.1.2.b.3.1. Mariëtte oil

As a moisturizer you can use a mixture of essential oils of about seven drops of Chamomile, Neroli and Jasmine in about 240 ml of base oils of calendula, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil, evening primrose oil (excellent to prevent menopausal or menstrual problems) and Macadamia oil.

d.1.2.b.3.2. Herb rotation Deodorant

Deodorants are usually full of toxins as well.309

The following non-toxic solution is more than just a recipe, it is a system.

The bacteria which cause body odor also remain resistant for five days to a herb that has been used, so in fact 5 would be enough to rotate between. The same rotation schedule as has been used for the teas and for the herbs for the foods can thus also be used as deodorant.

As a deodorant you can rotate the following oils. Just put some drops of the essential oil in a spray bottle with filtered water: All Spice on Sunday, Vetiver on Monday, Lemongrass on Tuesday, Wintergreen on Wednesday, Rose or Jasmine on Thursday, Sandalwood or Frankincense on Friday and Vanilla, Grapefruit or May Chang on Saturday.

You will need to reapply regularly to stay fresh.

For a deodorant that will keep you odorless all day mix1 teaspoon of tartaric acid baking powder 1/,4 cup organic coconut flour, ¼ cup cold pressed coconut oil, 7 drops of organic tea tree oil and 7 drops of organic chamomile essential oil.

I like to use this as a base, and then combine it with a different essential oil every day:

To keep it from getting to hard in wintertime, you can add some Mariëtte oil

d.1.2.b.3.3.Sesame Sunscreen

Many of the problems attributed to the sun are actually problems with toxins in sunscreen.310 Here is a toxin free one you can make:

As a sunscreen you can use organic extra virgin sesame oil- with a few drops of geranium oil

Why extra virgin? Because roasted oil loses its sunp rotective properties. With a toxic care products damaged skin, you still burn alive in the sun.

When you stop using toxic products, your skin becomes strong and you don’t need sun screen anymore, no matter how long you stay in the sun., that’s my experience. Tell me yours!

d.1.3. Prebiotics 311

n-t-k:.Prebiotics are what probiotics eat, and they create new probiotics with them, 30 grams of probiotics for every 100 grans of prebiotics you eat.312

Which prebiotics must you eat to get which probiotics?

Contents d.1.3. Prebiotics

Some 2400 years ago Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut.” This was well before prebiotics and probiotics were defined.

Today, improving one’s gut health is known to be an important component wellness, and prebiotics and probiotics are the catalysts to make this happen.

What are Prebiotics?

Classification of a food ingredient as a prebiotic requires scientific demonstration that the ingredient:

-Resists gastric acidity, hydrolysis by mammalian enzymes, and absorption in the upper gastrointestinal tract;

-Is fermented by the intestinal microflora;

-Selectively stimulates the growth and/or activity of intestinal bacteria potentially associated with health and well-being. 313

Prebiotics are indigestible by human enzymes. They function as food for the beneficial colonizing microorganisms (probiotics) in the gut. The two fueled microbiota grow and assist with digestion and produce substrates that positively impact health, often by boosting immunity and warding off disease.

A number of factors such as stress, toxic care products, pollution, antibiotics and poor diet can reduce the population of good bacteria, causing bacterial imbalance. Prebiotics are essential for restoring and maintaining this balance. 314

Foods for beneficial intestinal bacteria, are called prebiotics. 315

They used to say: although all prebiotics are fiber, not all fiber is prebiotic.

But it turns out natural fibers in healthy foods serve as prebiotics.

However attempts to make them synthetically or to make them from non-foods fail to have health benefits, and prove to have opposite health effects.

So the saying can be corrected into saying: prebiotics are the fibers in and of natural, healthy foods.

Prebiotics are types of fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in the digestive system316.

Prebiotics are what probiotics eat, and they create new probiotics with them, 30 grams of probiotics for every 100 grans of prebiotics you eat.317

The structure of prebiotics and the bacterial composition of the gut determine the fermentation products. The effects of prebiotics on human health are mediated through their degradation products by microorganisms.

Anti-Covid Properties Prebiotics

A study called: “Evidences and perspectives of the use of probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics as adjuvants for prevention and treatment of COVID-19: A bibliometric analysis and systematic review” was published on PubMed
on January 2, 2022. 318

It says:

“So far, few clinical studies involving the application of probiotics in COVID-19 patients have been completed, but reduction in the duration of the disease and the severity of symptoms as fatigue, olfactory dysfunction and breathlessness, nausea and vomiting and other gastrointestinal symptoms were some of the main findings.” 319

Function Prebiotics

Prebiotics feed the probiotics which sustain us.

An important mechanism of action for dietary fiber and prebiotics is fermentation in the colon and changes in gut microflora. The human large intestine is one of the most diversely colonized and metabolically active organs in the human body. Up to 1000 different species of bacteria reside in the colon with microbial populations comprising approximately 1011–1012 cfu/g of contents. 320

The colonic environment is favorable for bacterial growth due to its slow transit time, readily available nutrients, and favorable pH. 321

Generally, bacteria having an almost exclusive saccharolytic metabolism (i.e., no proteolytic activity) can be considered potentially beneficial. 322

-Saccharolytic metabolism means breaking down sugars in metabolism with the production of energy. 323

-Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids.324

The intestinal flora salvages energy through fermentation of carbohydrates not digested in the upper gut. 325The main substrates are endogenous (e.g., mucus) and dietary carbohydrates that escape digestion in the upper GI tract. These include resistant starch, non-starch polysaccharides (e.g., celluloses, hemicelluloses, pectins, and gums), non-digestible oligosaccharides, and sugar alcohols. 326

The main fermentation pathway generates pyruvate from hexoses in the undigested carbohydrate. Colonic bacteria use a range of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes to produce hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, SCFAs (mainly acetate, propionate and butyrate), and lactate. 327

Certain colonic bacteria generate energy from these fermentation products. Dietary components that stimulate fermentation lead to an increase in bacterial mass and consequently fecal mass and, thus have a stool bulking effect. 328

Health benefits Prebiotics

Since Prebiotics feed and form probiotics, they share in their health benefits, which include healing and preventing Cardiovascular disease. Rheumatoid arthritis and Cancer329

Health benefits of prebiotics include a stronger immune system, and improved health. 330

Intake of dietary fibers, including resistant starch (RS), has been shown to favorably affect the health of the gut microbiome. 331Together with the gut immune system, colonic and mucosal microflora contributes significantly to the barrier that prevents pathogenic bacteria from invading the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Prebiotics lower the risk of colon cancer.332, 333, 334.

Carrot-derived rhamnogalacturonan-I (cRG-I) accelerates and augments local innate immune and anti-viral interferon response to a rhinovirus-16 (RV16) infection and reduces the severity and duration of symptoms in humans. Dietary intake of cRG-I also enhanced immune responses to this respiratory viral infection. 335

By increasing the growth of healthy bacteria in a baby’s gut, Human Milk Olicosaccharidess reduce their risk of experiencing necrotizing enterocolitis(NE)336 337, 338.

NE is a life-threatening illness that most commonly affects newborns. It causes inflammation in the gut, which can then progress to a full-body infection and may result in death in as many as half of cases 339.

Fermentation of prebiotics by gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including lactic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid. These products can have multiple effects on the body.

As an example, propionate affects T helper 2 in the airways and macrophages, as well as dendritic cells in the bone marrows.

When gut bacteria feed on prebiotics, they produce a variety of beneficial substances, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)s. SCFAs help lower the gut pH, which in turn, limits the growth of harmful bacteria 340

Since SCFAs can diffuse to blood circulation through enterocytes, prebiotics have the ability to affect not only the gastrointestinal tract but also distant site organs.341

There are different types of prebiotics. The type of prebiotic you eat determines which probiotic gets fed, which in turn determines the health effects.

Probiotics can make tryptophan from prebiotics whole wheat bread, potatoes, and corn342

Tryptophan is important for serotonin and dopamine production.

Peptidoglycan is another prebiotics fermentation product that can stimulate the innate immune system against pathogenic microorganisms.

butyrate influences intestinal epithelial development

Due to their prebiotic action, oligosaccharides have been linked to a variety of benefits.

Improved gut health

In addition, some studies suggest that taking 3.5–20 grams of FOSs per day reduces symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease 343,344.

Inulin is a soluble fibre that nourishes gut microbes, eases constipation, and helps the body absorb magnesium and calcium. The benefits of inulin also include lowering blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes type II. 345

Finally, oligosaccharides such as FOS and inulin add bulk to stools and reduce the likelihood of constipation346.

Stronger immune system

Oligosaccharidestrengthen your immune system, both directly and indirectly.

Indirectly, their prebiotic action promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, which help fight off harmful bacteria 347

The SCFAs that are produced when bacteria ferment oligosaccharides in the colon further help reduce the growth of harmful bacteria by preventing them from attaching to the gut wall 348.

Directly, oligosaccharides help maintain the integrity of the body’s barrier membranes in the gut, lungs, and even the skin. This is thought to help protect the body from allergies and infections 349.

More specifically, a few studies suggest that consuming FOSs and GOSs reduce the risk of developing upper respiratory infections in early childhood (350, 351).

In addition, studies suggest that when infants consume HMOs they may have a lower risk of developing allergies, eczema, and asthma in early childhood (352, 353).

Some older studies further suggest that taking FOS may even improve the way your body responds to vaccines, including the influenza and measles vaccine (354).

However, more studies are needed to investigate these effects.

Other benefits

Oligosaccharides may provide a few additional health benefits.

Improve memory. Studies suggest that taking FOS or GOS daily may enhance concentration, recall, and memory in adults (355).

Reduce risk factors for heart disease. Prebiotics — inulin in particular — have been linked to lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels (356).

Inulin is a soluble fibre that nourishes gut microbes, eases constipation, and helps the body absorb magnesium and calcium. The benefits of inulin also include lowering blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes type II. 357

Oligosaccharides such as FOS and inulin can add bulk to stools and reduce the likelihood of constipation358.

May increase nutrient absorption. Some studies suggest that prebiotics may help increase the

Vitamin K1, Phylloquinone is not usually classified as a Prebiotic, but it should be, because Lactobacillus Lactis makes Vitamin K2, Menaquinone from it, which is crucial for heart health and bone health. Lactobacillus Lactis is also the most important Probiotic to take, since it is a guest microbe that the body never makes itself. For more on Vitamin K1, and Viamin K2, see chapter d.5.D.5.

Types of Prebiotics

Mapping the diversity of and interactions among the human intestinal microflora has led to the initiation of the Human Gut Microbiome Initiative (HGMI), an effort to identify this bacterial ecosystem.359

The categorization of prebiotics is done according to 2 perspectives. One is according to their solubility, the other is according to their molecular structure.

These largely overlap, since the larger the molecules, the less soluble they are likely to be.

The soluble and insoluble fiber categorization is as follows:

Insoluble fiber

The body can’t digest this type of fiber, so it passes through the gut helping other food and waste products move through the gut more easily. Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve. Instead, it absorbs liquid as it travels through your digestive tract. 360

Wholegrain bread and breakfast cereals, brown rice, and wholewheat pasta are good sources of insoluble fiber.

Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber is a type of fiber that dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like substance.

This type of fiber can be partly digested and may help reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood.361

Oats and pulses are good sources of soluble fiber.

Health benefits high fiber diets363

A high-fiber diet has the following health benefits:

Bowel movement: Insoluble fiber maintains bowel movements. They absorb water and softens the stool. Soft stool is easier to pass, thus preventing constipation. They also add bulk to the stools hence prevent the formation of loose stools.

Improved bowel health: High fiber diet prevents the formation or worsening of hemorrhoids and diverticular disease, which presents as outpouchings in the colon walls.

Studies have shown that a high-fiber diet decreases the risk of colorectal cancer.

Cholesterol-lowering effects: Soluble fibers bind to cholesterol molecules in the small intestine and prevent their absorption. The cholesterol-lowering properties of soluble fibers help to prevent coronary heart disease.

Postprandial glucose and insulin levels: Soluble fibers slow the absorption and digestion of carbohydrates and lower insulin demand in the body, thereby stabilizing postprandial glucose levels

Improved satiety and weight loss: Soluble fibers make the stomach contents viscous and prolong gastric emptying time. Studies have shown this to help reduce weight, improve BMI, lower body fat, and waist-to-hip ratio.

Cancer prevention: Some studies have shown that soluble fibers such as pectin have antioxidant properties and lower the risk of other types of cancer, including breast cancer.

Helps to live longer: Fiber intake is associated with decreased prevalence of diabetes type 2, coronary heart disease, stroke, and improved immune function.364

Both Soluble and insoluble fibers can be prebiotic.

The categorization of prebiotics based on molecular structure

There are many types of prebiotics.

They are all fibers.

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.365

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n.366

Though most carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules called glucose, fiber cannot be broken down into sugar molecules, and instead it passes through the body undigested.

Fibers are either oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.

The majority of them are a subset of carbohydrate groups and are mostly oligosaccharide carbohydrates (OSCs).367

Mono and di saccharides are not considered prebiotics because they feed harmful bacteria.

Oligosaccharides

An oligosaccharide (from the Greek ὀλίγος olígos, “a few”, and σάκχαρ sácchar, “sugar”) is a saccharide polymer containing a small number (betweeen 3 and 12 monosaccharides (simple sugars).

They are normally present as glycans: oligosaccharide chains linked to lipids or to compatible amino acid side chains in proteins, by N- or O-glycosidic bonds.

Not all natural oligosaccharides occur as components of glycoproteins or glycolipids. Some, such as the raffinose series, occur as storage or transport carbohydrates in plants. Others, such as maltodextrins or cellodextrins, result from the microbial breakdown of larger polysaccharides such as starch or cellulose.368

Polysaccharides can be a straight chain of monosaccharides known as linear polysaccharides, or it can be branched known as a branched polysaccharide.369

There are many types of prebiotics. The majority of them are a subset of carbohydrate groups and are mostly oligosaccharide carbohydrates (OSCs).

Oligosaccharides are a type of carbohydrate naturally found in an array of plant foods. 370

Examples of oligosaccharides are:

  • fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
  • galactooligosaccharides (GOS)
  • human milk oligosaccharides (HMO)
  • gluco-oligosaccharides
  • lactulose-derived galactooligosaccharides (LDGOS)
  • xylooligosaccharides (XOS)
  • arabinooligosaccharides (AOS)
  • algae-derived marine oligosaccharides (ADMO)
  • pectin-derived acidic oligosaccharides (pAOS)
  • maltooligosaccharides (MOS)
  • cyclodextrins (CD)371

Most prebiotics are classified as GOS and FOS.372

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), are the most common prebiotics.

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are plant sugars that occur in many fruits and vegetables.373

Fructo-oligosaccharides are a class of fructans.

A Fructan is a polymer of fructose molecules.

Inulin is sometimes also considered an oligosaccharide, depending on the length of its chain.

Fructans with a short chain length are known as Fructooligosaccharides.

Fructans can be found in over 12% of the angiosperms including both monocots and dicots such as artichokes, asparagus, leeks, garlic, onions (including spring onions), yacón, jícama, barley and wheat.374

Fructans375 consist of inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide or oligofructose.

Previously, some studies implicated that fructans can stimulate lactic acid bacteria selectively. However, over recent years, there are some investigations showing that the chain length of fructans is an important criterion to determine which bacteria can ferment them. Therefore, other bacterial species can also be promoted directly or indirectly by fructans.376

Many articles are on Oligosaccharide (OSCs), but there are also some pieces of evidence proving that prebiotics are not only carbohydrates.

 Galactooligosaccharides are produced through the enzymatic conversion of lactose,  GOS generally comprise a chain of galactose units that arise through consecutive transgalactosylation reactions, with a terminal glucose unit.. 377

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are also known as oligogalactosyllactose, oligogalactose, oligolactose or transgalactooligosaccharides (TOS), 378

Oligosaccharides vs. polysaccharides

Polysaccharides are major classes of biomolecules. They are long chains of carbohydrate molecules, composed of several smaller monosaccharides. These complex bio-macromolecules functions as an important source of energy in animal cell and form a structural component of a plant cell. It can be a homopolysaccharide or a heteropolysaccharide depending upon the type of the monosaccharides.379

Like oligosaccharides, polysaccharides also consist of a chain of monosaccharides.

However, while oligosaccharides are made up of three to 12 simple sugars, polysaccharides can contain hundreds.

Therefore, the main difference between the two is that polysaccharides are much longer chains of simple sugars than oligosaccharides.

The most commonly discussed polysaccharides include

starch,

  • inulin.380

Just like oligosaccharides, some polysaccharides can act as prebiotics, improving the balance of beneficial to harmful bacteria in your gut 381

The monosacharides and disacharides are not prebiotics because they feed the harmful bacteria, not the beneficial

ones.

Glucans are polysaccharides derived from glucose monomers. The monomers are linked by glycosidic bonds. Four types of glucose-based polysaccharides are possible: 1,6- (starch), 1,4- (cellulose), 1,3- (laminarin), and 1,2-bonded glucans.382

Oat β-glucans are water-soluble β-glucans derived from the endosperm of oat kernels known for their dietary contribution as components of soluble fiber. Due to their property to lower serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and potentially reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, oat β-glucans have been assigned a qualified health claim by the European Food Safety Authority and the US Food and Drug Administration.383

Because fibers work in different ways and so don’t all have the same health benefits, they are often more effective in combination than individually for maintaining a healthy gut. 384

Carrots385 have prebiotics too.

Overload symptoms Inulin

(Inulin overload only occurs with supplementation386)

  • Bloating
  • Abdominal cramping
  • Loose stools
  • Gas
  • More frequent bowel movements387

Overload only occurs when it is taken as a supplement.

Stability of Prebiotics

Prebiotics are defined by stability. The following criteria are used to classify a compound as a prebiotic: (i) it should be resistant to acidic pH of stomach, cannot be hydrolyzed by mammalian enzymes, and also should not be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, (ii) it can be fermented by intestinal microbiota, and (iii) the growth and/or activity of the intestinal bacteria can be selectively stimulated by this compound and this process improves host’s health 390

RDA of Prebiotics

The recommended daily amount of fiber is 28 g/day, based on a 2000 kcal/day diet.391

Most prebiotics for the gut require an oral dose of at least 3 grams per day or more to confer a benefit.

Typically, around 5 grams is the target for FOS, Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and GOS, Galacto-Oligosaccharides in the daily diet—and this includes dietary sources of prebiotics.

It is estimated that about 30 g of bacteria are produced for every 100 g of carbohydrate that is fermented.392

d.1.3.1.Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS)

n-t-k: Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) arecarbohydrates composed of oligo-galactose with some lactose and glucose. GOS occur naturally in human milk and may be one of the factors that protect human infants from gastrointestinal pathogenic bacteria 393The galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) naturally occur in legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans. Chemically, GOS are the elongation products of lactose transgalactosylase which is catalyzed by β-galactosidase.394Find the food sources of GOS here.

Contents d.1.3.1.Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS)

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the product of lactose extension, are classified into two subgroups: (i) the GOS with excess galactose at C3, C4 or C6 and (ii) the GOS manufactured from lactose through enzymatic trans-glycosylation. The end product of this reaction is mainly a mixture of tri- to pentasaccharides with galactose in β(1→6), β(1→3), and β(1→4) linkages. This type of GOS is also termed as trans-galacto-oligosaccharides or TOS.

GOSs can greatly stimulate Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Bifidobacteria in infants have shown high incorporation with GOS. Enterobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes are also stimulated by GOS, but to a lesser extent than Bifidobacteria.

There are some GOSs derived from lactulose, the isomer of lactose. This lactulose-derived GOSs are also considered as prebiotics.

Besides these types of GOS, the other types are based on sucrose extension named raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO)..395

Health Benefits Fructans

A Review study called “Role of food nutrients and supplementation in fighting against viral infections and boosting immunity: A review,” was published on PMC in April 2021. 405

It sums up the health benefits of fructans: 406

“Fructans are among other groups of polysaccharides possessing antiviral properties, which are based on a chain of fructose molecules. Few fructans such as inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides are known to promote immunity leading to good health (Actor, Hwang, & Kruzel, 2009). Garlic, onion, chicory, garlic, asparagus, banana, and artichoke are some of the important sources of fructans (Sabater-Molina, Larqué, Torrella, & Zamora, 2009). Peshev and Van den Ende (2014) reported that fructans stimulated the function of immune cells mediated through the Toll-Like Receptors (TLR). The TLR’s are known to be expressed on the innate immunity cells, particularly natural killer cells as the first line of defense against bacterial and viral infections (Luo et al., 2020). In another study, Dobrange, Peshev, Loedolff, and Van den Ende (2019) demonstrated the mechanism of an antiviral effect of fructans on the herpes simplex virus type 2, observing that these compounds can enhance the production of nitric oxide and immunostimulatory factors such as interleukins, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factors. In the investigation of Kumar, Prashanth, and Venkatesh (2015), these authors attributed the immune-modulatory action of fructo-oligosaccharides to the production of nitric oxide as they observed a significant production of nitric oxide in the peritoneal exudate cells extracted from rats. On the other hand, He et al. (2020) reported that fructans extracted from onions showed similar antiviral effects on the A virus in mice. Through the other mechanism, the fructans can bind to the Toll-Like Receptors (particularly TLR2/TLR4), which can modulate the number of T cell regulators. These T cell regulators are considered as the major regulators of the immune system which are crucial during infections (Jia et al., 2017)”.407

A study called “Fructans as Immunomodulatory and Antiviral Agents: The Case of Echinacea.”408 that was published on MDPI on October 16, 2019. said:

“Fructans have been demonstrated to exert immunomodulatory and antiviral effects directly. An ITF (CSH1-1, Mw = 4.0 × 103) isolated from traditional Japanese herbal medicine (Chikuyo–Sekko–To) was shown to be effective against herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in a murine model [51]. The antiviral properties were attributed to the ability of the fructan to enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO; a viral replication inhibitor) and other immunostimulatory factors (e.g., interleukine-1 beta (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, interferon gamma (IFN)-γ, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)-α) on RAW264.7 cells. Similarly, ITFs from chicory (Cichorium intybus) are known to increase NO production in INF-γ-primed RAW 264.7 cells in an NF-κB-dependent manner [53]. A fructan isolated from Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) demonstrated an inhibitory effect on influenza A virus replication in mice [54]. Intriguingly, fructans from burdock (Arctium lappa L.) strongly stimulate NO synthesis and defense signaling in plants [55], suggesting that the overall underlying mechanisms and pathways may be similar in all multicellular organisms. Both high and low DP fructans from aged and fresh garlic (Allium sativum) have the capacity to activate macrophages and subsequently phagocytosis, again in combination with a release of NO [56,57]. Garlic is also an important component of the traditional Ayurveda Rasayana drugs, together with the Inula racemosa and Bombax ceiba. The immunomodulating properties of these three plants were attributed to their high fructan content [58,59,60]. Fructans were also shown to be important immunomodulatory compounds in extracts of onion (Allium cepa), yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), Curcuma (Curcuma kwangsiensis) and mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)”.409

d.1.3.2.b. Inulin

Inulin is a well-studied prebiotic compound consisting of indigestible fiber that stimulates the growth and activity of SCFA-producing bacteria. In addition, inulin has been demonstrated to increase glucose sensitivity, decrease blood cholesterol and oxidative stress, and prevent neurodegeneration.423

Anti-Covid Properties Inulin

A study called “The Influence of a blend of Probiotic Lactobacillus and Prebiotic Inulin on the Duration and Severity of Symptoms among Individuals with Covid-19,” was published on Gavin Publishers on November 16, 2021.424 It said:

“Following this nutritional intervention, participants had a significant improvement in GI and non-GI symptoms resulting in a meaningful improvement in overall well-being.”425

A study called: “Modulation of Gut Microbiota for the Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19|”, published on June 29, 2021, in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, says:

“A healthy, diverse, and abundant gut microbiota reduces the severity of COVID-19.”426

Inulin is a very available polysaccharide prebiotic that can be found in 36000 plants.427

Inulin is a soluble fibre that nourishes gut microbes, eases constipation, and helps the body absorb magnesium and calcium. The benefits of inulin also include lowering blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes type II. 428

inulin in particular — has been linked to lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels (429).

Oligosaccharides such as FOS and inulin can add bulk to stools and reduce the likelihood of constipation430.

As dietary fiber, inulin-type fructans have positive effects on basic physiological functions of the colon, i.e., stool production and fecal excretion.431

Contents d.1.3.3.Other Polysaccharide prebiotics

d.1.3.3.a. Pectin

Pectin is a soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables, especially apples and citrus peels. It’s a strong gelling agent used to thicken jams and jellies.441

Pectin improves blood sugar and blood fat levels, kills cancer cells, promotes a healthy weight, and improves digestion.442

Pectins improve the survival of probiotic species Lactobacillus fermentum PCC, L. reuteri RC-14, L. rhamnosus LGG and L. paracasei F-19. 443

Lactobacillus fermentum PCC, enhances the immunologic response as well as prevent community-acquired gastrointestinal and upper respiratory infections.

Additionally, Lb. fermentum strains produce diverse and potent antimicrobial peptides.

Further functions attributed to probiotic Lb. fermentum strains are their abilities to decrease the level of blood stream cholesterol (as cholesterol-lowering agents) and to potentially help prevent alcoholic liver disease and colorectal cancer among humans. Finally, Lb. fermentum is a key microorganism in sourdough technology, contributing to flavor, texture, or health-promoting dough ingredients.444

L. reuteri RC-14 has benefits for cholesterol levels, reducing H. pylori levels (the pathogenic bacterium which contributes to ulcers), female urinary tract and vaginal health, and infant gastrointestinal health.445

Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is one of the most widely used probiotic strains. Various health effects are well documented including the prevention and treatment of gastro-intestinal infections and diarrhea, and stimulation of immune responses that promote vaccination or even prevent certain allergic symptoms.446

Lactobacillus paracasei F19 protects the liver from oxidative and metabolic injury447

Anti-Covid properties Pectin

A study called “Potential Roles of Modified Pectin Targeting Galectin-3 against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2, “published in MDPI on October 13, 2021 found:

d.1.3.3.b. Beta-glucan

Beta glucan is a type of fiber that’s responsible for many of the health-promoting properties of foods like oats, wheat, and barley.

It has been studied extensively for its effects on heart health and cholesterol levels, as well as been shown to boost immunity and stabilize blood sugar levels.458

Beta-glucan is beneficial for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. 459

Beta-glucan stimulates Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus plantarum, and in general all probiotics by making them more resistant to hostile circumstances as increased heat, increased acidity, adverse intestinal conditions and time influenced degeneration. 460

L. brevis KT38-3 produces β-galactosidase enzymes and ferments lactose. In addition, this strain is capable of producing antimicrobial peptides against pathogens, including methicillin and/or vancomycin-resistant bacteria.461

L. plantarum 299v is a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria naturally appearing in human gut, which can modulate the immune system. Its immunomodulating properties are observed among others in decreasing the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

The intake of L. plantarum 299v reduces IBS symptoms and improves the quality of life of these patients. The administration of L. plantarum 299v is also useful in treatment of C. difficile-associated diarrhea. Further studies should focus on the use of L. plantarum 299v in supporting cancer treatment, in gastrointestinal reduction of side effects, and an improvement of quality of life.

The results obtained from various studies show incontestable positive influence of L. plantarum 299v on human microbiome and overall body functioning, even in patients with serious health problems. This positive effect seems to withstand huge diversity of cohorts taking part in presented trials. Age and sex differences, size of populations observed, and their various origin did not affect the final positive effect of L. plantarum 299v on overall human health.

The lack of side effects after taking L. plantarum 299v, even in critically ill patients, increases the value of this strain even further as a probiotic,462

Anti-Covid properties Beta-glucan

Beta-glucan heals and prevents Covid-19.

A study called:“β-glucans: wide-spectrum immune-balancing food-supplement-based enteric (β-WIFE) vaccine adjuvant approach to COVID-19”, was published on PubMed, on August 3, 2021..463 It says: “β-glucan has been reported to induce trained immunity, akin to that induced by the Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine, by epigenetic modifications at the central level in the bone marrow. These β-glucans act as pathogen-associated molecular patterns, activating mucosal immunity by binding with specific pathogen recognition receptors such as dectin-1 and inducing both the adaptive and innate immunity by reaching distant lymphoid organs”.464

Food sources Beta-glucan

β-glucans are predominant cell-wall components of cereal grains, particularly oats and barley. However β-glucans can also be found at lower levels in other cereals such as spring-wheat, winter-wheat, sorghum, rye, rice, millet and spelt.465

Oats and other whole grain, bran, wheat and barley. Cooking increased the amount of soluble β-glucan but baking decreased it. Thus, cooking appears to be the most favourable process when health effects are concerned.466

Seaweed and algae,. Mushrooms – specifically, reishi, shiitake, and maitake, Fruits and vegetables

Some fruits and vegetables are particularly high in immune-boosting and cholesterol-lowering beta glucans. These include bans, peas, lentils, broccoli, sweet potato, aubergine (eggplant), apples, strawberries and prunes.

The stem of the Shiitake mushrooms has the most Beta-glucan of the six mushrooms available aith about 21 to 25 Beta-glucan per 100 grams of dry matter. The Pink Oyster came second with 21 to 22 Beta-glucan.467

Relationships Beta-glucan: enemies destroys proteins in peas and lentils

That was concluded by a study called β-Glucan Interaction with Lentil (Lens culinaris) and Yellow Pea (Pisum sativum) Proteins Suppresses Their In Vitro Digestibility,

“In this study, β-glucan interaction with lentil and yellow pea proteins and the effect on in vitro protein digestibility were investigated. Proteins were mixed with β-glucan at mass ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:2. The interaction between β-glucan and the proteins was demonstrated by the decrease in transmittance and surface charge and the increase in particle size of the complexes. Bright-field microscopy showed the formation of aggregates between the biopolymers, although increased molecular size was not observed by discontinuous native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Fluorescence microscopy indicated that β-glucan formed aggregates with lentil proteins, while the interaction with yellow pea proteins appeared as distinct phases of protein within the β-glucan network. The in vitro protein digestibility of lentil and pea protein decreased by 27.3 and 34.5%, respectively, in the presence of a β-glucan mass ratio of 1:2. The findings confirm the possibility to modulate protein digestibility by changing the physical characteristics of a food matrix.”475

d.1.3.3.c. Resistant Starch (RS)

n-t-k: Resistant starch (RS). RS can promote health by producing a high level of Butyrate.476Resistant starch is important for supporting a healthy gut microbiome. It has anti-cancer and anti-Covid properties. Find the studies and food sources here:

Contents d.1.3.3.c. Resistant Starch (RS)-

There is a kind of starch that is resistant to the upper gut digestion known as resistant starch (RS). RS can promote health by producing a high level of butyrate; so it has been suggested to be classified as a prebiotic. Various groups of Firmicutes show the highest incorporation with a high amount of RS. An in vitro study demonstrated that RS could also be degraded by Ruminococcus bromii, and Bifidobacterium adolescentis, and also to a lesser extent by Eubacterium rectale and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. However, in the mixed bacterial and fecal incubations, RS degradation is impossible in the absence of R. bromii.477

Resistant starch is dietary starch that ‘resists’ digestion in the small intestine.

Whereas most starch we eat is quickly and extensively digested in the upper gut, a fraction survives, passing through to the large bowel.

In the large bowel, resistant starch then provides fuel for the resident bacteria (microbiome), which break it down (ferment) to products that help support a healthy digestive system and protect against gut and other diseases.

Resistant starch is important for supporting a healthy gut microbiome.

Starch escaping the small bowel acts as a source of food for the ‘good bacteria’ in the large bowel, fueling their growth and activity, leading to favourable changes within the large bowel.478

Resistant starch fermentation favors the production of butyrate, a major bacterial metabolite fundamental for keeping the gut healthy and functioning normally. Butyrate is the preferred fuel for cells lining the gut and ensuring the integrity of the gut wall, helping to protect it against cancer and other serious digestive diseases.479

Resistant starch also offers health benefits beyond those in the gut, such as helping to reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Butyrate is one of most important SCFAs synthesized by the microbiota. It provides the main energy source for the cells that line your gut and, by doing so, butyrate helps maintain the integrity of the gut lining, an important barrier between your gut environment and the rest of your body. Butyrate.

Eubacterium rectale is a member of the gut microbiota that produces butyrate when it breaks down resistant starch. Resistant starches can also nourish bacteria (like Ruminococcus bromii) that, in turn, produce fuel for butyrate-producing bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii).

When bacteria produce substances that nourish other good bacteria, it’s called “cross-feeding”.

One recent study found that potatoes’ resistant starch increased butyrate production most in participants given a potato starch supplement. The take-home here is that resistant starches increase the abundance of butyrate-producers, and that’s great for your gut and wider health.

Protects against inflammation and disease

Butyrate also has secondary antioxidant functions which protect you from diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, and bowel cancer. When chemical reactions occur within the body, they release free radicals which can damage cells, but antioxidants help combat this.

Basically, antioxidants are the tools the body uses to reduce oxidative stress (caused by free radicals) that is associated with many diseases. Increased levels of butyrate are associated with high levels of an antioxidant called glutathione, which counteracts free radicals in the gut. Gut-bacteria-Butyrate9 Health benefits of butyrate for your body and gut

So, consuming resistant starch from foods like potatoes means that your gut bacteria will ferment it and increase butyrate production. Ultimately, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, you will have increased protection against some chronic digestive diseases.

Cancer prevention

Colon cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. The anti-inflammatory effect of resistant starch protects the body against cancer. Again, butyrate plays a key role in this defense mechanism.480

Anti-Covid Properties Resistant Starch

Resistant Starches help restore the gut microbiome, which protects us from Covid-19.

A study called: “Modulation of Gut Microbiota for the Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19”, published on June 29, 2021 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine says:

“Resistant starches cannot be digested by human enzymes amylases and amyloglucosidases but can be fermented by gut microbiota in the intestines. There are five types of resistant starches, namely, type 1 (RS1)—in food matrix or seed; type 2 (RS2)—in compact granules; type 3 (RS3)—retrogradation by cooking/cooling; type 4 (RS4)—chemical modification by food manufacture; and type 5 (RS5)—forming complex with lipid. In a mouse model fed with a high-fat diet, addition of RS2 in the diet increased the colonic butyric acid concentrations by 2.6-fold with decreased inflammation, weight gain, and hepatic steatosis. Several clinical trials showed that RS2 increased abundance of Bifidobacteria and increased production of SCFAs. RS3 produced large amounts of butyric acid after fermentation in vitro. A recent study in an in vitro fermentation system showed that RS5 was superior in the production of butyrate while RS3 produced more lactic acid. These studies indicate that resistant starches could modulate gut microbiota and improve butyrate levels in COVID-19.”481

The Butyrate made by Resistant Starch also has anti cancer effects, was the finding of a study called:

Effect of polar organic compounds on leukemic cells. Butyrate-induced partial remission of acute myelogenous leukemia in a child, which was piublished in January of 1983.

This is what it said:

“Polar organic compounds, such as dimethylsulfoxide and butyric acid, are known to induce differentiation in Friend erythroleukemia cells as well as in other cell types. It has been found that many of the compounds that induce cellular differentiation, inhibit 3H-thymidine incorporation and induce cell damage when incubated with leukemic cells from patients with acute or chronic myelogenous or acute lymphocytic leukemia. These effects are time and dose dependent. Among the compounds tested, butyrate was the most potent. Parenteral administration of butyrate (500 mg/kg/day) for ten days to a child with acute myelogenous leukemia in relapse, and resistant to conventional therapy, resulted in elimination of myeloblasts from the peripheral blood, an increase in mature myeloid cells and a reduction in 3H-thymidine uptake by the patient’s peripheral blood cells. Bone marrow myeloblasts were reduced from 70-80% to 20% following the course of intravenous butyrate. No impairment of liver or renal function and no coagulation abnormalities were observed during butyrate treatment. Organic agents that induce cell differentiation may provide additional reagents for the clinical management of selected cases of leukemia. “482

RDA of Resistant Starch (RS)

Intakes of resistant starch of 15-20 grams per day are recommended for supporting bowel health.483

d.1.3.4.a. Flavonoids

Flavonoids are considered to have prebiotic-like effects as their consumption also feeds/benefits commensal bacteria in the gut.489

Anti-Covid Properties Flavonoids

Plants rich in flavonoids are globally distributed and can offer great protection from COVID-19. The data described in this study strongly highlighted that flavonoids particularly quercetin and luteolin can exhibit promising multi-target activity against SARS-CoV-2, which promote their use in the current and expected future outbreaks. Therefore, a regimen of flavonoid-rich plants can be recommended to supplement a sufficient amount of flavonoids for the protection and treatment from SARS-CoV-2 infection.490

Health benefits Flavonoids

A study called: “Flavonoids are promising safe therapy against COVID-19” was published on PMC on May 22, 2021.491 It said:

“Flavonoids are a class of phenolic natural products, well-identified in traditional and modern medicines in the treatment of several diseases including viral infection. Flavonoids showed potential inhibitory activity against coronaviruses including the current pandemic outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and designated as COVID-19. Here, we have collected all data related to the potential inhibitory mechanisms of flavonoids against SARS-CoV-2 infection and their significant immunomodulatory activities. The data were mapped and compared to elect major flavonoids with a promising role in the current pandemic. Further, we have linked the global existence of flavonoids in medicinal plants and their role in protection against COVID-19. Computational analysis predicted that flavonoids can exhibit potential inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 by binding to essential viral targets required in virus entry and/ or replication. Flavonoids also showed excellent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities including the inhibition of various inflammatory cytokines. Further, flavonoids showed significant ability to reduce the exacerbation of COVID-19 in the case of obesity via promoting lipids metabolism. Moreover, flavonoids exhibit a high safety profile, suitable bioavailability, and no significant adverse effects. For instance, plants rich in flavonoids are globally distributed and can offer great protection from COVID-19. The data described in this study strongly highlighted that flavonoids particularly quercetin and luteolin can exhibit promising multi-target activity against SARS-CoV-2, which promote their use in the current and expected future outbreaks. Therefore, a regimen of flavonoid-rich plants can be recommended to supplement a sufficient amount of flavonoids for the protection and treatment from SARS-CoV-2 infection.”492

A study called “Cocoa, Blood Pressure, and Vascular Function,” that was published on PMC, on August 2, 2017, 493 said the following about the health benefits of cocoa.

“Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents the most common cause of death worldwide. The consumption of natural polyphenol-rich foods, and cocoa in particular, has been related to a reduced risk of CVD, including coronary heart disease and stroke. Intervention studies strongly suggest that cocoa exerts a beneficial impact on cardiovascular health, through the reduction of blood pressure (BP), improvement of vascular function, modulation of lipid and glucose metabolism, and reduction of platelet aggregation. These potentially beneficial effects have been shown in healthy subjects as well as in patients with risk factors (arterial hypertension, diabetes, and smoking) or established CVD (coronary heart disease or heart failure). Several potential mechanisms are supposed to be responsible for the positive effect of cocoa; among them activation of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, increased bioavailability of NO as well as antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is the aim of this review to summarize the findings of cocoa and chocolate on BP and vascular function.”494

Flavonoid Health Benefits

Image: Flavonoid Health Benefits495

In animal models of obesity, feeding of flavonoids altered gut microbial community structure, including increased levels of Akkermansia muciniphila26–28 which appear to confer metabolic benefits. Flavonoids may also influence the gut microbiota production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA, up to 6 carbons in length). SCFA, predominantly acetic (2:0), propionic (3:0), and butyric (4:0) acids, are produced by large intestinal bacteria mainly from fermentation of non-digestible or poorly digestible carbohydrates (e.g., dietary fiber). In addition to being an energy source, experimental studies suggest that microbial-produced SCFA act as signaling molecules and can influence host energy metabolism, glucose-insulin homeostasis, production of endocrine hormones (e.g. GLP-1), and inflammatory pathways. In some studies in mice and rats, dietary SCFA protected against weight gain, improved glucose tolerance, and increased insulin sensitivity.496

Flavonoids, for example, have effects on skeletal muscle, adipocytes, liver and pancreas, and myocardial, renal, and immune cells, for instance related to AMPK phosphorylation, eNOS activation, and suppression of NF-κB and TLR4. 497

d.1.3.4.a.1.Flavanols

Flavanols (catechins), a type of flavonoid, are generally considered to be the main polyphenols of interest in cocoa and chocolate.

Flavanols are a group of compounds found in cocoa, tea, apples, and many other plant-based foods and beverages. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that a diet rich in Flavanols can have a positive impact on cardiovascular health.509

Health Benefits Flavanols

In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrate that Flavanols can stimulate lactic acid bacteria.510

d.1.3.4.a.1.Flavonols Quercetin and Inulin

Quercetin is categorized as a flavonol, one of the five subclasses of flavonoid compounds. Although flavonoids occur as either glycosides (with attached glycosyl groups) or as aglycones, most altogether of the dietary intake concerning quercetin is in the glycoside form.511

d.1.3.4.a.1.1.Quercetin

Quercetin as a Zinc Ionophore is discussed in Chapter d.5.D.9.1. b.

Quercetin in combination with bifidus inhibits colon cancer512

Quercetin enhances intestinal barrier function and modulates gut microbiota composition. The activities of tight junction proteins at the gut epithelium enhance barrier functions and reduce inflammation, protecting the host from colonic diseases. Lactobacillus, Clostridium, and Bacteroides, from flavonoids, including quercetin, as therapeutic agents in treating diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It was shown that Urolithin A, UAS03, and L-tryptophan mitigated IBDs by increasing epithelial cell junction proteins in the gut, and reduced gut inflammation. These metabolites did not only act to reduce inflammation but also restored gut barrier integrity and protected against colitis. Wu et al. (2019) outlined that L-tryptophan, a metabolite obtained from quercetin metabolism, serves as a nutrient enhancer, as well as in the regulation of the kynurenine pathway and immune responses in the mice model. Studies have directly employed the use of specific metabolites produced by gut bacteria (such as Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum INIA P815 strain, Quercetin is transformed by the gut microbes (B. fragilis, Lactobacillus L-2, C. perfringens, E. ramulus, Bifidobacterium B-9, Streptococcus S-2, and Bacteroides JY-6) into several metabolites including 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (homoprocatechuic acid), and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid. The 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid was reported as an active flavonoid metabolite that prevents liver damage by upregulating transcription factor nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), and also exhibited a strong anxiolytic effect in mice model. However, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid showed a significant vasodilatory effect in rats, by modulating the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived nitric oxide (NO). Lastly, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was also reported to be involved in the scavenging activities of free radicals and inhibition of trypsin activity. Quercetin can reshape gut microbiota to alleviate several diseases [28]. In antibiotic-treated mice, quercetin supplementation improved the diversity of the gut bacterial community, increased the length of intestinal villi, and improved mucosal thickness. Another study also reported that quercetin suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin.513

Quercetin is fermented into several metabolites in the gut by numerous gut microbial species. These metabolites are useful substances that are diffused into the blood stream to be distributed to the various organs where their biological activities are exhibited.514

Anti-Covid Properties Luteolin

A study called “Luteolin: a blocker of SARS-CoV-2 cell entry based on relaxed complex scheme, molecular dynamics simulation, and metadynamics” was published on PubMed on July 8, 2021. It said

“The findings suggest that luteolin could be potent blocker of SARS-CoV-2 cell entry.”530

Function and Health Benefits Luteolin

Luteolin is a prebiotic for Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus.531

L. rhamnosus improves the survival rate by motivating humoral and cellular immune responses, and improved resistance against influenza-virus infection.532

Luteolin (Lut), a kind of flavonoid, possesses anti-oxidative, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties. The Dutch National Food Consumption Survey indicated that people in Netherlands have an average mixed flavonoids intake of 23 mg/day. Epidemiological evidence shows that intake of these compounds does not only inhibit tumor formation and inflammation, but also effectively prevents cardiovascular diseases. The cardio protection mainly stems from decreased myocardial apoptosis, diminished myocardial infarct size and through enhanced left ventricular ejection fraction. 533

Luteolin food sources,

 Key sources of flavonoids include tea (black and green tea), vegetable (onion, celery, parsley, broccoli, English spinach, bean), fruits (apple, grape, coffee, oranges, lemon, mandarin, cherry, blueberry) and wine  A variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs such as carrot, cabbage, artichoke, tea, celery and apple are rich in Lut.

d.1.3.4.b. Vitamin K1, Phylloquinone and Vitamin K2, Menaquinone

While Vitamin K1 is not usually classified as a probiotic, it should be classified the most important prebiotic, and Lactobacillus lactis is the most important prebiotic, because the gut does not make itself, and it needs to be introduced, in order to make Vitamin K2 from Vitamin K1. The reason Vitamin K2 is so important is that ut brings Calcium from the blood to the bones. See Chapter d.5.D. The Vitamin D cluster.

The RDA of Vitamin K2, Menaquinone, is between 10 and 45 micrograms. 539

That means the RDA of Vitamin K1, Phylloquinone is between 34 mcg and 150 mcg.

Make sure you have plenty of Vitamin K1 in your diet, from which the Lactobacillus lactis makes vitamin K2. which you always need to keep introducing to your gut with probiotics.

This also why you always want to splash some apple cider vinegar on your salads. For more on Vitamin K1, and Viamin K2, see chapter d.5.D.5.

Anti-Covid Properties Vitamin K

A study called: “Reduced Vitamin K Status as a Potentially Modifiable Risk Factor of Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019”was published on PubMed on December 6, 2021.

It said:

“Vitamin K activates both hepatic coagulation factors and extrahepatic endothelial anticoagulant protein S, required for thrombosis prevention. In times of vitamin K insufficiency, hepatic procoagulant factors are preferentially activated over extrahepatic proteins. Vitamin K also activates matrix Gla protein (MGP), which protects against pulmonary and vascular elastic fiber damage.. dp-ucMGP was severely increased in COVID-19 patients, indicating extrahepatic vitamin K insufficiency, which was related to poor outcome; hepatic procoagulant factor II remained unaffected. These data suggest pneumonia-induced extrahepatic vitamin K depletion leading to accelerated elastic fiber damage and thrombosis in severe COVID-19 due to impaired activation of MGP and endothelial protein S, respectively.”540

Another study, called “Dramatic Decrease of Vitamin K2 Subtype Menaquinone-7 in COVID-19 Patients.” which was published on PubMed on June 24, 2022, also showed that people with severe Covid-19 illness had low levels of Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2.

It said:

“The present data identified significantly decreased vitamin K1, K2 (MK7), and increased MK4 levels in patients with COVID-19 compared to healthy controls. Vitamin K2 (MK7) was lowest in COVID-19 patients irrespective of potentially fatal courses, indicating consumption of this CK subtype by COVID-19 immanent effects, most probably inflammatory and oxidative stress factors”.541

A study called “Dietary intake of menaquinone is associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease: the Rotterdam Study” was done in 2001 that concluded Vitamin K1, Phylloquinone, wasn’t effective against heart disease, while Vitamin K2, Menaquinone, was.546

But did they take the microbiome of the test subjects into account? Probably not. While ultra specialization has its benefits, one of its drawbacks is that they never see the whole picture.

Vitamin K1 is transformed into vitamin K2 by Lactobacillus lactis, a welcome visitor, but not a permanent resident in the human microbiome. It needs to be introduced daily.

Besides, K2 food sources aren’t K2 food sources unless they have been made with Vitamin K1, That means cheese is only a K2 source if the animals it comes from had K1 in their diet. Fermented foods only have K2 if they were made with K1. No idea what I’m going on about? No worries, I’ll come back to it in the Vitamins section d.5.D.5. Vitamin K2 Menaquinone

Prebiotics are defined by stability.

The following criteria are used to classify a compound as a prebiotic: (i) it should be resistant to acidic pH of stomach, cannot be hydrolyzed by mammalian enzymes, and also should not be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, (ii) it can be fermented by intestinal microbiota, and (iii) the growth and/or activity of the intestinal bacteria can be selectively stimulated by this compound and this process improves host’s health 553

d.1.3.5.a. Craving hack with Probiotics

You know how you start craving foods you eat a lot of? There is an explanation for that. Prebiotics in the foods we eat stimulate the growth of microbes in our guts that live off of those prebiotics. Eat healthy foods and you stimulate beneficial microbes, that make you crave more healthy food.

It works the other way around as well, When we eat unhealthy foods, the sugar craving harmful microbes will multiply, making you crave more sugar.

You can do a craving hack by taking probiotics, like water kefir or Kombucha. The multitude of healthy microbes you introduce in your gut will make you crave healthy foods and reach your ideal weight and health in no time while eating to full satisfaction every day! Read on to see what those health foods are. Spoiler, you find many prebiotics among them!

  • dietary fiber,
  • phytochemicals (flavonoids),
  • fructose,
  • and chewing.

That was the conclusion of a study published on PubMed September 9, 2021.554

In fruit, fructose is bound to the fiber, which slows its absorption.555

Fruit juice adds to your intake of free sugars. Whole fruit, on the other hand, does not. The fibre helps to slow down the speed the fructose is absorbed into your blood stream. 556

Consuming fruit with a protein, healthy fat, or both can bring down the Glycemic Index of fruit, which has a more positive effect on blood sugar.557

The glycemic index classifies carbohydrate-containing foods according to their potential to raise your blood sugar level. Foods with a high glycemic index value tend to raise your blood sugar higher and faster than do foods with a lower value.558

Blood sugar spikes occur when your blood sugar rises and then falls sharply after you eat..559

When blood sugar levels rapidly rise, they can create headache pain via: Hormonal shifts – Excess glucose in the bloodstream can trigger shifts in hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones directly impact the constriction of the blood vessels in the brain, which can cause headache. 560

In the short term, blood sugar spikes can cause lethargy and hunger. Over time, your body may not be able to lower blood sugar effectively, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.561

Fiber is made up of the parts of plant food that your body can’t digest.

Soluble fiber, in particular, can help control blood sugar spikes.

It dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance that helps slow the absorption of carbs in the gut. This results in a steady rise and fall in blood sugar, rather than a spike.562

Good sources of soluble fiber include:

Oatmeal

Nuts

Legumes

Some fruits, such as apples, oranges and blueberries

Many vegetables563

Fiber is important for the microbiome, which neutralizes oxalate, and chewing is important for saliva to change nitrates, which are harmful, into nitric oxide, which is helpful. See d.1.2.b.2.2. Nitrates are in all fruits and vegetables.

Along with a loss of fiber, flavonoids found in the skin and fruit pulp are also lost in the process of juicing. Flavonoids have been linked to longevity and are best known for their antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent a number of cardiovascular diseases.

In citrus fruits, the whole fruit has five times the flavonoids as a glass of juice made from them.564

Blending instead of juicing helps you keep the flavonoids, but won’t solve the problem of the bound sugars changing into free ones. Mix in with a healthy fat and a healthy protein to prevent the blood sugar spike when blending. Make that something you need to chew, so you have the saliva to transform the nitrates into nitric oxide.

Or just eat the whole fruit.

Conclusion Chapter d.1.Microbiome

Our microbiome is like a garden, and prebiotics are like seeds. Probiotics are the plants and Postbiotics are the fruits from that garden, fruits that keep us healthy. What we eat plants the seeds in our inner paradise garden, which in turn asks for what keeps it, and us healthy.

No matter from which way you approach it, our inner health systems strengthen each other. And we can push on reset any time.

Eat the healthy foods the healthy way, and your body will start asking for the right foods. Here you can see what they are.

Résumé du Motherhat

Ceci est le résumé que vous pouvez trouver dans Motherhat IV1,, avec tous les nutriments dont vous avez besoin pour combattre le Covid-19 et la plupart des maladies, ainsi que les suppléments que vous devez éviter. Pour les sources, consultez les livres de la série Motherhat2,, ainsi que dans Dandhea Book I part III. 3

Nos corps ne sont pas des plantes capables de fabriquer tous leurs propres nutriments à partir des éléments, mais ils préfèrent fabriquer eux-mêmes leurs nutriments, non pas à partir de rien, comme les menuisiers, mais plutôt à l’instar de la façon dont nous construisons nos meubles à partir de matériaux achetés chez IKEA. C’est en quelque sorte tout fait, mais nous devons encore le terminer, avec suffisamment d’espace de jeu pour pouvoir l’adapter exactement à nos besoins. C’est le genre de nutriments que fournissent les plantes.


Nos corps sont comme des couturiers qui ne tissent pas eux-mêmes et qui ne veulent pas de vêtements du commerce, mais de belles matières avec lesquelles ils peuvent réaliser tout ce qu’ils veulent, et les plantes donnent ces matières, tout comme notre corps les préfère.


La viande ressemble plus à des vêtements disponibles dans le commerce. Notre corps s’en sort, mais il préfère les plantes. Avec le bon timing, en les combinant, en les préparant et en les planifiant, notre corps en profite.


La maladie est souvent causée par des carences ou des surcharges nutritionnelles. Le Covid-19 ressemble non seulement à de nombreuses carences nutritionnelles, mais il est également guéri lorsque celles-ci sont corrigées.

Motherhat (anglais pour “chapeau de mère”) est l’acronyme d’un moyen d’obtenir tous les nutriments, naturellement et délicieusement, prévenant et guérissant de nombreuses maladies, parmi lesquelles le Covid. Bien que les preuves de son efficacité puissent être accablantes et compliquées, la pratique est étonnamment simple et montre la sagesse des recettes traditionnelles.


“M”
La gravité de Covid-19 a été liée à l’épuisement des bactéries bénéfiques dans notre microbiome, ce qui est le point de départ idéal, car les aliments sains contiennent des fibres saines qui développent des microbes sains qui vous donnent envie d’aliments sains, ce qui signifie que vous mangez des aliments sains simplement en suivre votre appétit, ce qui signifie aussi que cela vous rend heureux, et les protéines du bonheur sont cruciales pour la guérison.


Notre microbiome, le « M » de Motherhat, est un trésor qui fabrique lui-même de nombreux nutriments dont nous avons besoin. C’est un jardin paradisiaque que nous portons en nous et sur nous où nous cultivons notre propre nourriture. Tout ce que nous devons faire, c’est ne pas le gâcher. Mais même si nous le faisons, nous pouvons le reconstruire avec des pré et probiotiques.


L’astuce préférée d’un voleur est de fermer les yeux sur la beauté de ce que vous possédez, afin que vous ne remarquiez pas ce qu’il vous vole.


Ainsi, la valeur précieuse de notre microbiome est souvent minimisée. Mais si vous approfondissez vos recherches, vous découvrirez que c’est bien plus étonnant que vous n’auriez pu l’imaginer. Elles constituent une liste impressionnante de vitamines, leurs bienfaits pour la santé incluent la guérison du cancer et des maladies cardiovasculaires, et elles influencent même la production d’hormones du bonheur dans notre cerveau ! De plus, sans un microbiome sain, nous ne pouvons pas tolérer des aliments sains et nous entrons dans un cercle vicieux de mauvaise santé à cause de cela. Prévenez cela, guérissez-le en commençant par votre microbiome. Chérissez votre microbiome. Vous pouvez le faire de différentes manières, selon l’endroit où vous vous trouvez.


Donnez à votre microbiome intestinal les prébiotiques et probiotiques dont il a besoin. Pour le microbiome de votre bouche, utilisez un dentifrice et un bain de bouche qui ciblent les agents pathogènes et non les bonnes bactéries (voir Motherhat I d.1.2.b.2.2. et Dandhea Book I Part III). 7.1.2.b.2.2.) et pour votre peau, utilisez des produits de soin qui protègent le microbiome de votre peau. Trouvez des recettes pour prendre soin du microbiome cutané dans Motherhat I d.1.3. Dandhea Livre I Partie III 7.1.3. Pas les recettes habituelles, mais des recettes plus luxueuses que celles des plus grandes marques commerciales. Pourquoi le naturel devrait-il être clair ? Votre peau et vos cheveux seront plus beaux que jamais. Pas de produits chimiques, juste des fleurs, du vinaigre et des huiles essentielles qui correspondent parfaitement aux parfums stimulants des protéines du bonheur, pas par conception, mais c’est ainsi que fonctionne l’intégrité. Les choses se mettent en place. Et bien sûr circulaire. Nous voulons être sur terre comme les bonnes bactéries de notre corps, ne faisant que du bien.


Nos microbes influencent les aliments dont nous avons envie, donc une façon intelligente d’améliorer votre santé consiste à réduire votre appétit en inondant votre système de probiotiques. Le kéfir et le kombucha en sont d’excellentes sources.


Les probiotiques ne peuvent pas être traités ou chauffés. Environ 83 pour cent des cultures pourraient être tuées en 30 minutes ou moins à 145 ° F. (soit 62,8 ° C) Les temps de mort thermique à 136 ° F (soit 57,8 ° C)

Les prébiotiques sont la nourriture des probiotiques. Chaque prébiotique améliore son propre probiotique, il est donc important d’avoir une variété de prébiotiques dans votre menu. La différence entre les probiotiques et les pathogènes ? Les probiotiques vous nourrissent et vous soutiennent, les agents pathogènes vous mangent et vous rendent malade!


Les GOS sont des prébiotiques qui peuvent grandement stimuler les bifidobactéries et les lactobacilles. Les bactéries bifido sont à l’origine de 7 des 8 vitamines B, toutes sauf la vitamine B5. Le microbiome résident Lacto bacillus Bifidus produit 7 des 8 vitamines B, à savoir la vitamine B1, la thiamine, la vitamine B2, la riboflavine, la vitamine B3, la niacine, la vitamine B6, la pyridoxine, la vitamine B7, la biotine, la vitamine B9, le folate et la vitamine B12, la cobalamine. . On le trouve également dans le Kéfir d’eau, le Kéfir de lait. Kombucha, babeurre et choucroute


Des études montrent que le GOS augmente les réponses immunitaires contre le Covid-19
Le GOS se trouve dans les fibres des haricots, des lentilles, des légumes et des légumes-racines.
Pour 100 grammes de prébiotiques que nous consommons, 30 grammes de probiotiques sont formés.
les prébiotiques sont définis par la stabilité. Mais il faut les laisser dedans.
La vitamine B5, acide pantothénique, est fabriquée par Lactaris et R. torques) (Firmicutes) ; Salmonella enterica et Helicobacter pylori (protéobactéries) qui sont également des résidents permanents de notre microbiome.


Lactobacillus lactis, nécessaire à la fabrication de la vitamine K2 à partir de la vitamine K1. est un microbe invité qui doit être réintroduit chaque jour et ne s’installe jamais définitivement dans notre microbiome. C’est dans le vinaigre de cidre de pomme, la choucroute, le kéfir d’eau, le kombucha, le babeurre, le kéfir de lait et le yaourt.
Combinez la vitamine K1 et le Lactobacillus lactis pour fabriquer du K2 à partir de K1,
La vitamine K1 se trouve dans le persil, la bette à carde, le chou frisé, les feuilles de moutarde, les feuilles de pissenlit, les feuilles de betterave, le chou vert, le brocoli, le chou, les pruneaux, le kiwi, les haricots verts et l’avocat.


La vitamine K1, la phylloquinone, est sensible à la lumière, aux conditions alcalines et à l’air, mais n’est pas détruite par la chaleur de cuisson.


Le yaourt, ou mieux encore, le kéfir de lait (source de Lactobacillus lactis) n’est-il pas beaucoup plus agréable avec quelques fruits (source de vitamine K1) ?


Et là, vous prenez un bon petit-déjeuner.


Et le chou frisé (une source de vitamine K1) n’est-il pas beaucoup plus agréable avec du vinaigre de cidre de pomme (une source de Lactobacillus lactis), du sel (qui aide à l’absorption de la vitamine C-LAA) et de l’huile d’olive (qui aide à mieux absorber les minéraux comme le magnésium et le zinc) ?
En règle générale, ce qui est plus sain est aussi plus savoureux ! La vitamine C-LAA est mieux absorbée avec un peu de sel. Le bêta-carotène est mieux absorbé avec un peu d’huile d’olive, tout comme le fer et le magnésium.


Et voilà votre vinaigrette la plus basique ! Qui aurait pensé qu’une salade avec une vinaigrette de qualité était bien plus saine qu’une sans ?


Les fructanes stimulent la croissance des lactobacilles et des bifidobactéries et diminuent les agents pathogènes.


Les sources alimentaires de fructanes sont l’orge, le topinambour, l’ail, les oignons, les échalotes, le seigle, le artichaut, le blé, les oignons espagnols, les poireaux et les racines de betterave.
Des études montrent que les fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) sont capables de réduire les effets secondaires des vaccins contre le Covid-19.
Comme le GOS, le FOS stimule considérablement la croissance des souches probiotiques de Bifidobacterium


Les sources alimentaires FOS sont la racine de chicorée, le topinambour, le pissenlit, les poireaux, l’ail, la racine de yacon, les oignons, la racine de bardane, les asperges, le blé, la banane et l’orge.
L’inuline stimule la croissance et l’activité des bactéries productrices de SCFA. SCFA signifie Acides Gras à Chaîne Courte. Ce sont des acides gras avec une chaîne pouvant contenir jusqu’à 6 atomes de carbone.


Des études montrent que l’inuline réduit la gravité du Covid-19.
Les sources alimentaires d’inuline sont : racine de bardane, racine de chicorée, topinambour, feuilles de pissenlit, ail, poireaux, blé, asperges, seigle, banane et orge.
La pectine améliore les niveaux de sucre et de graisse dans le sang, tue les cellules cancéreuses, favorise un poids santé et améliore la digestion.


Les pectines améliorent la survie des espèces probiotiques Lactobacillus fermentum PCC, L. reuteri RC-14, L. rhamnosus LGG et L. paracasei F-19. Pour leurs nombreux bienfaits pour la santé, voir Motherhat I, chapitre d.1.3.3.a. Pectine et Dandhea Livre I Partie III Chapitre 7.d.1.3.3.a.
Les polysaccharides de pectine provenant des parois cellulaires végétales naturelles modulent l’immunité contre le SRAS-CoV-2 grâce à la libération de cytokines telles que le TNF-α et l’IL-6, à l’activité anti-inflammatoire et à la phagocytose accrue des macrophages.
Les sources alimentaires de pectine sont : le zeste de citron, le zeste d’orange, l’églantier, le pamplemousse, la goyave, la pomme, les carottes, les abricots et les cerises.
La gravité de la maladie Covid-19 est également liée à une carence en Oméga-6-LA. L’étude de Bristol a pu le cartographier, ainsi que le remède : Omega-6-LA.
Le bêta-glucane est bénéfique contre la résistance à l’insuline, la dyslipidémie, l’hypertension et l’obésité.


Le bêta-glucane stimule Lactobacillus brevis, et Lactobacillus plantarum (voir Motherhat III Chapitre d.1.3.3.b et Dandhea Book I Pat III Chapitre 7. 1.3.3.b pour leurs bienfaits) et en général tous les probiotiques en les rendant plus résistants à des circonstances hostiles telles qu’une chaleur accrue, une acidité accrue, des conditions intestinales défavorables et une dégénérescence influencée par le temps.
Des études montrent que le bêta-glucane guérit et prévient le Covid-19.
Les sources alimentaires de bêta-glucane sont les chanterelles, les shiitakes, les pleurotes des neiges, les pleurotes roses, les pleurotes italiens, les pleurotes jaunes, les pleurotes royaux, les champignons de Paris blancs, les champignons de Paris bruns, l’avoine, l’orge et le blé.
Bêta-glucane : les ennemis détruisent les protéines des pois et des lentilles
La fermentation résistante de l’amidon favorise la production de butyrate, un métabolite bactérien majeur fondamental pour maintenir l’intestin en bonne santé et fonctionner normalement. Le butyrate est le carburant préféré des cellules qui tapissent l’intestin et assure l’intégrité de la paroi intestinale, contribuant ainsi à la protéger contre le cancer et d’autres maladies digestives graves.
Eubacterium rectale fait partie du microbiote intestinal qui produit du butyrate lorsqu’il décompose l’amidon résistant. Les amidons résistants peuvent également nourrir des bactéries (comme Ruminococcus bromii) qui, à leur tour, produisent du carburant pour les bactéries productrices de butyrate (comme Faecalibacterium prausnitzii).
Lorsque les bactéries produisent des substances qui nourrissent d’autres bonnes bactéries, on parle d’alimentation croisée.


Les amidons résistants aident à restaurer le microbiome intestinal, qui nous protège du Covid-19.
Les sources d’aliments à base d’amidon résistant sont les haricots, les bananes vertes, les flocons d’avoine, les pommes de terre cuites et refroidies, le riz cuit et refroidi et les lentilles.
Les flavonoïdes modifient la structure de la communauté microbienne intestinale, notamment des niveaux accrus d’Akkermansia muciniphila, qui semblent conférer des avantages métaboliques. Les flavonoïdes influencent également la production du microbiote intestinal d’acides gras à chaîne courte (SCFA, jusqu’à 6 carbones de longueur)


Les sources alimentaires de flavonoïdes sont le cacao, le thé (blanc, vert, oolong et noir 4), les baies bleues, les citrons, les oranges, les mandarines, les pommes, les bananes et les carottes.
La quercétine en association avec le bifidus inhibe le cancer du côlon.


La quercétine améliore la fonction de barrière intestinale et module la composition du microbiote intestinal. La quercétine est fermentée en plusieurs métabolites dans l’intestin par de nombreuses espèces microbiennes intestinales. Ces métabolites sont des substances utiles qui sont diffusées dans la circulation sanguine pour être distribuées aux différents organes où s’exercent leurs activités biologiques. Pour les nombreuses fonctions prébiotiques de Quentin, voir le chapitre d.1.3.4.a.1.1.


La quercétine est utile pour lutter contre le Covid en tant qu’ionophore de zinc mais possède également ses propres propriétés anti-Covid.


Les sources alimentaires de quercétine sont les câpres et les baies de sureau. Dille, Aloe Vera, Coriandre, Oignons, Canneberges, Laitue rouge, Oignons rouges, Asperges, Chou frisé, Poivrons rouges, Laitue romaine, Poivrons verts, Airelles rouges, Cacao.
La lutéoline est un puissant bloqueur de l’entrée des cellules du SRAS-CoV-2.
La lutéoline possède des propriétés antioxydantes, antitumorales et anti-inflammatoires.
La lutéoline est un prébiotique pour Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus.

L. rhamnosus améliore le taux de survie en motivant les réponses immunitaires humorales et cellulaires et en améliorant la résistance contre l’infection par le virus de la grippe.


Les sources alimentaires de lutéoline sont l’origan, le romarin, le thym, le radicchio, le céleri chinois, le persil, la sauge, la menthe poivrée, les poivrons verts crus (piment fort), le piment Serrano cru, le romarin frais, les citrons crus sans peau, les piments jalapeno, le céleri cru, le chou-rave cru. , Épinards crus, poivrons verts, poivrons rouges, betteraves crues, choux de Bruxelles crus et carottes crues.

“O”
Avec les Omega, le « O » de Motherhat, nous avons les clés pour que nos fabuleuses cellules puissent recevoir tous les trésors que notre microbiome et notre alimentation ont à offrir en gardant nos membranes cellulaires à la parfaite fluidité et perméabilité, puisqu’elles résident dans tout les membranes cellulaires de tout notre corps.
La confusion et les idées fausses à propos des Oméga sont choquantes, surtout parce que tout notre système immunitaire dépend de ces deux nutriments voisins, un terme de relation entre les nutriments expliqué au chapitre d.7.b.1. Le système immunitaire inné sur les Oméga-6-LA , le système immunitaire acquis sur les oméga-3-ALA, et contrairement aux vitamines produites par le microbiome, nous ne pouvons les obtenir que par l’alimentation.
Il existe des moyens sains et malsains d’obtenir des oméga-6-LA, et ils doivent être équilibrés avec des oméga-3-ALA. Chapitre d.2. vous montre comment faire cela. L’oméga-6-ALA est présent dans pratiquement toutes les noix et graines, vous l’obtenez sans essayer. Les noix ont un équilibre 1:4 idéal et sain pour le cœur entre les oméga-3-ALA et les oméga-6-LA. Les autres sources d’oméga-6-LA sont les graines de chanvre, les graines de pavot, les graines de tournesol, les graines de sésame, les graines de citrouille, les graines de chia, les graines de fax, les graines de moutarde, l’huile de noix, l’huile d’olive, l’huile d’avocat, les noix, les noix du Brésil, les noix de pécan, les arachides, Pistaches et Noisettes,


Les oméga-3-ALA peuvent être trouvés dans les graines de lin, les graines de chia, les graines de chanvre, les noix et les graines de moutarde noire et blanche. Nous avons besoin d’un microbiome intact pour pouvoir digérer les oméga-3-ALA provenant de sources saines.


Les façons malsaines d’obtenir des oméga-6-LA sont lorsqu’il ne s’agit pas du tout d’oméga-6-LA, mais d’un dérivé d’oméga-6-LA, comme l’oméga-6-ARA, ou lorsqu’il s’agit d’oméga-6-LA frelatés, un gras trans, qui rend la membrane cellulaire imperméable plutôt que perméable. L’oméga-6-LA est également problématique s’il n’est pas équilibré avec l’oméga-3-ALA, ce qui se produit facilement, puisqu’on dit aux gens que cela se trouve dans le poisson, alors que ce n’est pas du tout dans le poisson. Ce qu’il y a dans le poisson, ce sont des Oméga-3-EPA et des Oméga-3-DHA, et après préparation, même cela n’y est pas, car il se détériore à 50 degrés Celsius, ce qui est une chance, car nous en avons besoin de très peu, et le le corps produit tout ce dont il a besoin à partir des Oméga-3-ALA.


Ces nouveaux termes sont nécessaires pour savoir de quoi on parle, puisque les termes officiels sont partout, utilisant les mêmes abréviations pour des huiles complètement différentes, et une bouillie de noms différents pour les mêmes. Ainsi, ALA est également une abréviation utilisée pour l’acide alpha-lipoïque, une graisse saturée que le corps synthétise lui-même, et bien que les termes acide linoléique et acide linolénique soient suffisamment proches pour prêter à confusion, mais pour rendre la confusion complète, Gamma-Linolénique- L’acide est un acide gras oméga-6, tandis que l’acide alpha-linolénique est un oméga-3. Il existe d’autres nouveaux termes, et ils sont répertoriés sous 6.a. dans la liste de référence.


La recherche indique que l’Omega-3-ALA est stable pendant la cuisson et la transformation. Mais Johanna Budwig a traité l’acide alpha-linolénique comme s’il était très réactif, conseillant même de manger du lin moulu.

graines en 20 minutes, car c’est à cette vitesse qu’elle a dit qu’elles se détérioreraient, rien qu’en les broyant ! Pour être sûr, je prends mes dépassements crus. Je n’ai jamais remarqué qu’ils allaient mal.
L’oméga-6-LA est également stable pendant le chauffage, bien que certaines sources affirment qu’il est intrinsèquement instable. Peut-être est-ce dû au fait que les dérivées sont instables et qu’elles utilisent les conclusions de l’une pour l’autre ? Pour être sûr, je mange les graines et les noix des oméga-6-LA crues, mais je ne m’inquiète pas de la présence des oméga-6LA dans l’huile d’olive lorsque je l’utilise pour la cuisine, car la recherche indique qu’elle peut les gérer.


Parmi les graisses insaturées, l’huile d’olive biologique pressée à froid forme le moins de gras trans lorsqu’elle est chauffée.


Les acides gras saturés sont stables lorsqu’ils sont chauffés pendant de courtes périodes, mais après de longues périodes (8 heures), ils se dégradent. A utiliser avec parcimonie cependant. Ils étouffent encore les cellules, et aucun d’entre eux n’est un nutriment essentiel puisque nous les synthétisons nous-mêmes.

“T”
Désormais, avec le microbiome intact, les membranes cellulaires prêtes et le système immunitaire équipé, si nous ressentons des symptômes de Covid, toute réponse ciblée, le premier « T » de Motherhat, a beaucoup plus de chances de réussir.


Ce virus est si faible que le thé chaud aux feuilles d’olivier et l’huile essentielle d’Eucalyptus Globulus le détruisent déjà. Mais si ces remèdes simples ne sont pas appliqués, cela fait des ravages dans les corps empoisonnés et déficients en nutriments. Et il n’y a pas que le thé chaud aux feuilles d’olivier et l’huile essentielle d’Eucalyptus Globulus comme réponse ciblée. Il y en a beaucoup d’autres, comme indiqué dans le chapitre d.3 de Motherhat II. ou Dandhea Livre I partie II Chapitre 7.3. et Motherhat III chapitre d.7.a. Ou Dandhea Livre I chapitre 7.3.a, utilisant la méthode désormais scientifiquement prouvée de Revici, consistant à utiliser les Oméga pour délivrer des substances curatives aux parties malades de votre corps, combinée avec la méthode désormais scientifiquement prouvée de Treben, d’infusions de plantes, pour la guérison. La benzophénone aide à lutter contre l’essoufflement, c’est ce que mon père a découvert 50 ans avant que cela ne soit prouvé scientifiquement. Beaucoup de gens peuvent être aidés en 50 ans, vous pouvez donc être grandement aidés par des choses qui ne sont pas manifestement antiscientifiques. Pas encore prouvé scientifiquement n’est pas la même chose que non scientifique. Cela n’a peut-être pas encore été prouvé, ou est hors de portée de la science, et quelque chose pour lequel des bases morales devraient s’appliquer afin de les accepter ou de les rejeter. Si quelque chose apporte seulement la guérison et ne compromet pas la morale, il n’y a aucune raison de le rejeter. Et pourtant, ce sont précisément ces choses manifestement non scientifiques et immorales qui sont maintenant qualifiées de scientifiques, alors que la science éprouvée est qualifiée de non scientifique ! Cela doit changer ! Les sources alimentaires de benzophénone sont le plantago, le sureau, la propolis, le thé noir, le fruit de la passion, le cherimoya et le corossol.

“HER”
Maria Treben était capable de guérir les gens uniquement avec des infusions de plantes. Plus de 70 herbes, qu’elle a utilisées pour la plupart et qui ont toutes des propriétés anti-Covid prouvées ou qui font encore l’objet de recherches, sont mélangées dans sept délicieux mélanges, un pour chaque jour, afin d’en tirer pleinement parti. sans en abuser, le programme de rotation des herbes, le « Elle » dans Motherhat.

Le programme est Sunday Seed, Monday Root, Tuesday Leaf, Wednesday Herb, Friday Flower, Friday Wood et Saturday Fruit, avec les couleurs de l’arc-en-ciel et du blanc pour samedi comme guide pour une touche agréable.

Les polyphénols sont généralement résistants à la chaleur et encore plus puissants à des températures allant jusqu’à 100 degrés Celsius. Ainsi, contrairement à de nombreuses vitamines, ils ne sont pas perdus au cours du processus de brassage. L’herbe entière est toujours plus puissante que le supplément, même si l’ingrédient bénéfique fait partie du supplément, ce qui n’est généralement pas le cas.


“H”
Les protéines du bonheur, qui nous amènent au « H » de Motherhat, jouent un rôle si important dans l’immunité qu’elles peuvent suffire à elles seules, et sans elles, même les meilleures thérapies échouent. C’est pourquoi une attitude et une conviction fondées sur la compassion sont si essentielles, et ne pas être stricts quant au respect de ces règles, et surtout ne pas les imposer aux autres. Un système d’alimentation et de soins pour une santé optimale sans une mentalité détendue à ce sujet va à l’encontre de l’objectif !


Même les protéines du bonheur sont influencées par le microbiome.
Un mauvais rince-bouche tue les microbes qui transforment le nitrate en oxyde nitrique, une substance centrale pour la dopamine et la sérotonine. Trouvez une recette de dentifrice et de rince-bouche non toxiques bénéfiques pour les microbes au chapitre d.1.2.b.2.1. et d.1.2.b.2.2. L’oxyde nitrique est si important pour la production de protéines du bonheur que de nombreux aliments favorisant les protéines du bonheur le sont car ils améliorent l’absorption de l’oxyde nitrique d’une manière ou d’une autre. Et le plus cool, c’est que nous l’obtenons par la respiration nasale, ce qui est également important pour de nombreuses autres raisons. Sans un microbiome sain, le nitrate n’est pas transformé en oxyde nitrique et provoque le cancer et le diabète, donc comme l’oméga-3-ALA, il est un de ces aliments pour lesquels nous avons besoin d’un microbiome sain pour pouvoir digérer.
Les nutriments pour la dopamine, la protéine de récompense, sont : la vitamine B9, la vitamine B12, la tyrosine, la phénylalanine et la L-dopa.


Nutriments pour la dopamine et Sérotonine : sont la Citrulline. et l’oxyde nitrique.
La citrulline se trouve dans la pastèque, les courges amères, la courge, les noix, les pois chiches, la citrouille et le concombre.


L’oxyde nitrique est une molécule instable qui se dégrade rapidement dans le sang, elle doit donc être constamment reconstituée.


Aliments augmentant le niveau d’oxyde nitrique et d’oxyde nitrique :
L-argénine,


Les nitrates contenus dans les légumes produisent de l’oxyde nitrique, qui augmente les niveaux de sérotonine et de dopamine.
Le nitrate, un composé présent dans certains légumes, est l’une des nombreuses raisons pour lesquelles les légumes sont sains pour la santé.
Les légumes riches en nitrate comprennent
Céleri
Cresson
Cerfeuil
Laitue
Betterave
Épinard
Roquette

La respiration nasale produit également de l’oxyde nitrique.
Augmentez votre consommation d’antioxydants pour augmenter la stabilité et limiter la dégradation de l’oxyde nitrique
La vitamine C-LAA est un puissant antioxydant. Vous le trouvez dans les fruits et légumes, pas dans les suppléments. Les suppléments contiennent de la vitamine C-DAA, qui ne fait rien.


Les nutriments pour la sérotonine, le stabilisateur de l’humeur, sont : la vitamine B9, le folate et la vitamine B12, la cobalamine, à ne pas confondre avec leurs jumeaux synthétiques maléfiques, la fausse vitamine B9, l’acide folique et la fausse vitamine B12, la cyanocobalamine. qui non seulement ne remplissent pas les fonctions des vitamines, mais sont également toxiques.


En fait, évitez toutes les fausses vitamines synthétiques, divisées ici selon leurs niveaux de toxicité : (voir Motherhat IV d.7.b.5.1. Échelle de toxicité et d.7.b.6. facteurs de confusion. et Dandhea Book I Part III Chapitres 7.7.b.5.1. Échelle de toxicité et 7.7.b.6. Facteurs de confusion) Parfois, il s’agit de dérivés alors que nous avons besoin de la forme mère. Parfois, il s’agit de formes synthétiques, qui sont déjà mauvaises car elles ne font pas ce que fait le véritable nutriment. Et parfois, ces formes synthétiques sont toxiques en elles-mêmes. Les dérivés peuvent également être toxiques, même si le corps les fabrique lui-même, soit parce qu’ils sont très instables, soit parce que le corps en a besoin à un moment et en quantité précis, ce qu’il ne peut gérer que s’il peut les fabriquer lui-même quand il en a besoin. Et parce qu’il est conçu pour produire autant qu’il en a besoin quand il en a besoin, il n’a aucun moyen de stocker l’excès de manière bénéfique, donc l’excès provoque une inflammation, ce qui est exactement ce qui se produit si vous prenez des dérivés au lieu des formes parentales.
Formes inertes Vitamine C-DAA, qui est synthétique et ne guérit même pas le scorbut, contrairement à la vraie Vitamine C-LAA,


Les principales sources alimentaires de vitamine C-LAA, par ordre décroissant, sont : les prunes kakadu, les cynorrhodons, les cerises acérola, les goyaves, les poivrons jaunes, les piments, les cassis, le persil, les épinards moutarde, les poivrons rouges, le chou frisé, les choux de Bruxelles, le brocoli, le vert. poivrons et kiwis.

Ne prenez pas de vitamine A, de rétinol. Prenez du bêta-carotène provenant de sources alimentaires naturelles et non de suppléments. Le bêta-carotène provenant des suppléments n’est pas le bêta-carotène Cis naturel et bénéfique que l’on trouve dans les fruits et légumes, mais le trans-bêta-carotène nocif, qui est synthétique.

La vitamine D provenant des suppléments n’est pas la même que la vitamine D provenant du soleil. La vitamine D provenant des suppléments est nocive, la vitamine D du soleil est bénéfique. Pour savoir combien de temps vous devez rester au soleil pour obtenir le RDA, consultez la carte solaire UV pour D dans Motherhat III au chapitre d.6.D.1. ou Dandhea Livre I partie II chapitre 7.6.D.1. C’est étonnamment court, et nous pouvons stocker l’excédent assez longtemps, même pour que les personnes proches des pôles Nord et Sud puissent passer les mois d’hiver sans épuiser leurs niveaux de vitamine D, à condition qu’elles aient suffisamment de soleil en été, ce qui est très facile à faire. .
Nous avons besoin de la plupart de nos oméga-3 sous la forme mère d’Omega-3-ALA. À partir de là, le corps peut produire autant d’Omega-3-DHA et d’Omega-EPA qu’il en a besoin, ce qui ne représente que quelques pour cent. Cependant, il ne peut pas ramener les oméga-3-DHA ou oméga-3-EPA à leur forme mère. Pour les bénéfiques Omega-3-ALA et Omega-6-LA. Pour les sources alimentaires d’oméga-3-ALA et comment les manger en équilibre avec les oméga-6-LA, voir Dandhea Book III, partie I, chapitre 1, Dandhea Book I, partie II, chapitre 7.6.2.2. ou Motherhat I chapitre d.2.2.
2. tsd2 sources toxiques d’oméga, si l’huile est OGM ou pleine de gras trans, à quoi sert-elle s’il y a des oméga-6-LA dans une huile, ou si une huile a l’équilibre parfait d’oméga-3-ALA et d’oméga- 6-LA ?

Cela ne nous dit pas que toutes les vitamines B sont fabriquées par le microbiome. Nous dire que la vitamine B est omniprésente dans les aliments, mais ne pas nous dire qu’elle s’infiltre dans tout ce dans quoi nous la chauffons, de sorte que vous devez également la consommer pour en tirer pleinement parti.

Les protéines du bonheur sont discutées dans Motherhat II d.5 et Dandhea Book I partie III chapitre 7.5.
Pourquoi les appeler protéines et non neurotransmetteurs ? Car certains ne sont pas des neurotransmetteurs mais des hormones, mais ce sont toutes des protéines.

“A”
La carence de la plupart des nutriments a été associée à une gravité accrue du Covid-19. Alors, les vitamines sont-elles un remède contre le Covid, ou le Covid est-il une conséquence de carences nutritionnelles ? Quelle que soit la réponse, la solution est la même : prévenir et guérir le Covid-19 avec des nutriments sains issus de sources biologiques.
Il est difficile de trouver un nutriment sain qui n’agisse pas contre le Covid-19, ce qui nous amène au « A » de Motherhat, les nutriments supplémentaires.


En même temps, il est tout aussi difficile de déterminer quels sont les nutriments sains. Deux noms différents pour les vitamines signifient souvent que l’un d’eux est une tentative synthétique et infructueuse de copie d’une vitamine qui n’a pas les propriétés ou les avantages de la vitamine qu’elle tente d’imiter. C’est pourquoi je parle de vitamine C-LAA, car c’est la vraie vitamine C. La vitamine C-DAA que l’on trouve souvent dans les suppléments ne guérit même pas le scorbut !
La vitamine C-LAA se trouve dans les cynorhodons, les cerises acérola, les goyaves, les poivrons jaunes, les piments, les cassis, le persil, les épinards moutarde, les poivrons rouges, le chou frisé, les choux de Bruxelles, le brocoli, les poivrons verts et les kiwis.


La destruction la plus élevée de l’acide ascorbique ou vitamine C-LAA se produit à des températures comprises entre 85 et 95°C, surtout après 10 minutes de cuisson.


Les conseils officiels sur la façon de prendre des vitamines sont souvent incompatibles avec les recherches scientifiques évaluées par des pairs. Je pensais que les recherches contredisant les informations officielles concernaient uniquement Omega. Mais certaines recherches contredisent les informations officielles sur chaque vitamine. Heureusement, il est possible d’accéder à des recherches fiables, et c’est ce que j’ai partagé ici d’une manière facilement applicable.
Non seulement tous les nutriments répertoriés dans Motherhat guérissent le Covid-19, mais beaucoup d’entre eux présentent également des symptômes de carence qui correspondent au Covid-19.
Citons-en quelques-uns.


Le Covid ressemble beaucoup à une carence en zinc, qui est causée par une surcharge en calcium, provoquée par une supplémentation en vitamine D, qui est conseillée comme prévention contre le Covid, tandis que la supplémentation orale en vitamine D est toujours une mauvaise idée. Vous devriez obtenir de la vitamine D grâce au soleil. Et vous n’avez même pas besoin d’y rester très longtemps, comme on peut le voir dans la carte solaire UV pour D du chapitre d.6.D de Motherhat III. 1 et Dandhea Livre I partie III chapitre 7.6.D.1. Vous n’êtes pas non plus obligé d’être presque nu. Même les yeux peuvent suffire, sans regarder le soleil bien sûr.


Pour obtenir de la vitamine D grâce au soleil, qui est le seul moyen sain, vous avez besoin de cholestérol. Les statines bloquent le cholestérol, une substance précieuse qui aide là où d’autres éléments ne font pas leur travail, et qui est blâmée pour les dégâts, alors qu’elle ne fait qu’essayer de réparer ce que d’autres font de mal. C’est pourquoi on l’appelle ici un nutriment d’urgence, qui intervient partout où il y a une urgence, tout en ayant ses propres tâches extrêmement importantes. Les tâches importantes que le cholestérol a normalement sont celles de fabriquer de la vitamine D ainsi que

h l’aide de la lumière du soleil et fabricant de toutes les hormones ainsi que de la gaine de myéline autour des cellules nerveuses.


Le cholestérol est fabriqué par la coenzyme a, qui est produite par la vitamine B5, ou l’acide pantothénique, qui est produit dans l’intestin, mais se trouve également dans les aliments suivants : champignons shiitake, graines de tournesol, lactosérum, champignons de Paris crus, avocats, arachides, germe de blé, camembert, noix, endives crues, brie, goyave, lait entier, yaourt entier, graines de sésame et kéfir.


On nous dit que les victimes de la mortalité due au Covid-19 manquent toutes de vitamine D. Les personnes âgées reçoivent constamment des statines et manquent donc de cholestérol, donc incapables de fabriquer de la vitamine D à partir du soleil, en plus de manquer toutes les tâches essentielles du cholestérol. . Pas étonnant qu’ils s’embrouillent et se brisent les os ! Combien de signes de vieillesse ne sont que des symptômes d’une surmédication ? Tres beaucoup!


Il y a tellement de facteurs qui influencent la formation de vitamine D qu’il serait étrangement myope de supposer immédiatement que toute carence en vitamine D provient d’un manque de soleil. Pas seulement les statines, mais aussi le sirop de maïs à haute teneur en fructose, le manque de vitamine B5, l’abus d’alcool, le tabagisme, tous ces facteurs et bien d’autres encore peuvent entraîner un manque de formation de vitamine D.


Et pourquoi testent-ils le sang pour la vitamine D ? C’est une hormone qui n’est presque jamais présente dans le sang, et toutes les cellules peuvent la produire à partir de la lumière du soleil, alors pourquoi aurait-elle besoin d’elle dans le sang ? Même si les gens présentaient des symptômes physiques de manque de vitamine D, qui se manifesteraient par de mauvaises dents et des os fragiles, de nombreuses causes pourraient encore en être la cause. C’est quelque chose à considérer dans toutes les carences. Cela ne doit pas nécessairement être causé par un nutriment déficient. Il peut s’agir d’une carence en l’un des nutriments dont il dépend pour son métabolisme, ou d’une surcharge d’un nutriment ennemi ou d’un nutriment de bascule. C’est pourquoi il est si important de comprendre comment les nutriments sont liés. (Voir Dandhea Book I partie III Chapitre 7.7.b.1. ou Motherhat III chapitre d.7.b1)


Ainsi, la vitamine D doit être prise dans le groupe Vitamine D pour des résultats optimaux. Groupe Vitamine D : 1. Vitamine D grâce à la lumière du soleil, 2. Vitamine B5 pour l’enzyme Co A pour le cholestérol, 3. Calcium, 4. Magnésium, 5. Vitamine K1. et Lactobacillus Lactis pour la vitamine K2, 6. Lysine 7. Phosphore 8. Soufre 9. Zinc 9.1 Les ionophores de zinc, 10. Bore

Le tout avec des aliments biologiques, car ce qu’il y a dans les suppléments n’est généralement pas la vraie vitamine, et sabote même souvent la vraie vitamine !
Retrouvez-les tous dans Motherhat partie III et Dandhea livre I, partie III, ainsi que leurs sources de nourriture et les meilleures méthodes de préparation.


Toutes les vitamines B sont fabriquées dans l’intestin, mais les seules dont nous entendons parler sont celles qui sont sabotées par leurs faux jumeaux synthétiques maléfiques qui les bloquent, ou qui sont bloquées par certains aliments que nous consommons beaucoup.


Alors que la vitamine B3, ou niacine, est un moyen sain de contrôler le cholestérol, non pas à partir de suppléments, mais à partir de sources alimentaires. ce qu’il y a dans les suppléments, c’est de la fausse niacine, de la niacinamide. Cela bloque la vraie niacine, présente dans les flocons d’avoine, les graines de tournesol, les arachides, les graines de chia, le pain, les champignons, les graines de lin, le riz brun, les graines de citrouille, les haricots et les lentilles, les avocats et les noix.


De nombreux symptômes extra-pulmonaires du Covid-19 ressemblent étonnamment à ceux de la pellagre, d’une carence en vitamine B3 (par exemple, diarrhée, dermatite, manifestations de la cavité buccale et de la langue, perte de l’odorat et du goût, confusion mentale).5


Le Covid-19 ne ressemble pas seulement à une carence en vitamine B12, les symptômes du Covid 19 sont également atténués grâce aux aliments contenant de la vitamine B12.6 Et oui, les aliments biologiques contiennent plus qu’assez de nutriments pour nous guérir. C’est ce que nous savions intuitivement depuis des lustres, et cela a été démontré à maintes reprises par la recherche, notamment par celle du Dr William Li. 7


Comment pouvons-nous avoir une carence en vitamine B12 lorsque notre intestin la produit ? En raison de l’acide folique, nous sommes bombardés comme additif alimentaire et comme complément. L’acide folique n’est pas du folate, la vraie vitamine B9 que nous fabriquons nous-mêmes et que l’on trouve dans les aliments naturels, l’acide folique est à base d’huile, le folate est à base d’eau. Et comme la vitamine B12 est nécessaire à la synthèse de la vitamine B9 et du folate, si nous en avons un approvisionnement constant, stocké dans nos cellules adipeuses, où va tout l’acide folique, la vitamine B12 est épuisée, et nous n’avons pas seulement une pénurie de folate, mais aussi une pénurie de vitamine B12, avec tous les horribles symptômes qui vont avec, des symptômes qui ressemblent à ceux du Covid-19 et qui disparaissent lorsque la vitamine B12 est reconstituée. Et nous n’avons besoin de produits d’origine animale pour rien. Pour chaque source animale, il existe une source végétale supérieure. D’où pensez-vous que les animaux l’obtiennent ? Vous n’avez pas non plus besoin d’animaux pour la vitamine B12. Le kombucha et les algues en contiennent bien plus que n’importe quelle source animale.


C’est avec l’acide folique que la vitamine B12 ne doit pas être associée. Mais comme l’acide folique est présent en permanence dans nos cellules adipeuses, attendant juste de nous épuiser en vitamine B12 et de bloquer le folate, il n’y a aucun moyen de l’éviter.

King Vitamine B12 combinée avec elle si vous en avez dans votre système. Alors évitez-le. Lisez les étiquettes, c’est partout et c’est toxique.


Vous devez combiner la vitamine B12, la cobalamine, avec la vraie vitamine B9, le folate. Et pour couronner le tout, la forme synthétique de la vitamine B12, la cyanocobalamine, n’est pas du tout de la vitamine B12 ! Il est connecté à une molécule de cyanure plutôt qu’à une molécule de méthyle comme la vraie vitamine B12. La vraie vitamine B12, la cobalamine, combinée à la vraie vitamine B9, le folate, est nécessaire à la fabrication des globules rouges, tandis que le cyanure bloque la respiration cellulaire en se liant à l’hémoglobine et en l’inactivant ! À quel point est-ce cynique ? La cyanocobalamine est un autre faux supplément à éviter.


Voici quelques principales sources alimentaires de vitamine B12 et de cobalamine, comme toutes les listes par ordre décroissant : Kombucha, Chiorella, algues Nori et autres algues, champignons Shiitake, fromage suisse, emmental, brie, pleurotes, ainsi que trompettes noires, cèpes. champignons, champignon parasol et morilles noires, Yaourt et Kéfir.


Les sources alimentaires de vitamine B9 et de folate sont les pois chiches, les arachides, les graines de tournesol, les haricots canneberges, les épinards, les lentilles, les haricots romains, le brocoli, les haricots crus, les haricots pinto, les asperges, la laitue, les haricots rouges, l’avocat et les pois verts.
Remarquez à quel point de nombreuses sources de vitamine B9 et de vitamine B12 sont savoureuses ensemble ? Ce qui doit être mangé ensemble a aussi bon goût ensemble.


Et puis vous avez l’Avidine dans les œufs crus qui détruit la vitamine B7, la biotine. Les œufs crus sont utilisés dans de nombreuses recettes, notamment dans la mayonnaise. Le manque de vitamine B7 rend également chauve.
La vitamine B7 et la biotine sont présentes dans les arachides, les graines de tournesol, les noix, les amandes, les champignons de Paris, les noix de pécan, les patates douces, les fraises, le pain, le brocoli, les avocats et les tomates. Si vous voulez un test Covid négatif, mangez ça !


Et ne croyez pas que l’absorption du fer non héminique provenant des plantes soit trop faible. Il suffit d’ajouter du vinaigre, du citron ou des algues pour Phytase pour contrer l’acide phytique, et l’absorption passe de 8 % à 88 % ! Cela le rend également beaucoup plus savoureux. Les aliments contenant du fer sont le thym et les graines de sésame. Cacao, graines de citrouille, graines de chanvre, graines de chia, noix de cajou, graines de lin et pois chiches.


Et s’il vous plaît, ne croyez pas le mensonge selon lequel vous devez manger de la viande pour avoir suffisamment de fer. Le fer non héminique provenant des plantes est supérieur au fer hémique présent dans la viande, tout comme le bêta-carotène, présent dans les plantes, est supérieur à la vitamine A, présente dans les œufs et la viande. Le corps peut stocker le fer non héminique aussi longtemps qu’il le souhaite et l’utiliser lorsqu’il en a besoin. Ce n’est pas le cas du fer héminique. Le corps ne peut pas le stocker, et il fait des ravages lorsqu’il y en a trop, ce qui est rapide.


Toutes les vitamines B sont stables à la chaleur, mais elles s’infiltrent dans l’eau ou la graisse dans laquelle vous les préparez, alors consommez tout ce dans lequel vous les avez bouillies ou frites. Pas ce dans lequel vous les avez trempées. Arrosez le pantalon avec cela ou utilisez-le comme pesticide. . Les lectines ne sont pas bonnes pour la santé et c’est aussi la raison pour laquelle vous ne devriez jamais sous-cuire les haricots, et encore moins les manger crus.


Certaines vitamines B, comme la vitamine B2 et la riboflavine, sont sensibles à la lumière, alors conservez-les dans l’obscurité. Et certains, comme la vitamine B5 et l’acide pantothénique, se décomposent dans des circonstances alcalines, donc ajouter du bicarbonate de soude à l’eau dans laquelle vous les faites cuire est une très mauvaise idée.


Le fer est dans une relation de bascule avec le zinc, ce qui signifie qu’une teneur élevée en fer signifie une faible teneur en zinc et vice versa. Par conséquent, une teneur élevée en fer est liée à un Covid sévère et, comme le calcium, provoque une carence en zinc.


Comme tous les minéraux, le fer est pratiquement indestructible, il ne sera donc pas détruit par la chaleur. Comme tous les minéraux, il a tendance à s’infiltrer dans l’huile ou l’eau dans laquelle il est chauffé, une autre raison de le consommer.


Outre la carence en zinc, la surcharge en calcium provoque la plaque artérielle. Cela provoque le blocage du fer et du magnésium. Cela provoque également une carence en phosphore, rendant le sang trop acide. Pour en connaître les conséquences, consultez Acidose métabolique au chapitre d.5.D.7. Phosphore.


Le magnésium se trouve dans les graines de citrouille, le cacao cru, le cacao torréfié, les amandes, les graines de lin, les graines de sésame, les noix de cajou, les graines de chia, le sarrasin, les pignons de pin, le boulgour, les noisettes, les noix, les noix de pécan, les graines de tournesol et les épinards crus.
Le bore atténue les symptômes de carence en vitamine D, améliore le calcium, le magnésium, le phosphore et les œstrogènes


Comme la Pepperine, le Bore renforce également les effets de la curcumine contre le SRAS-CoV-28
Les sources alimentaires de bore sont les raisins secs, les amandes, les noisettes, les abricots, les avocats, les pruneaux, les arachides, les noix du Brésil, les noix, les haricots rouges, les noix de cajou, les dattes, les lentilles, les pois chiches, les pêches et le céleri.


La carence en phosphore est liée à la mortalité due au Covid, le phosphore se trouve dans les graines de citrouille, les graines de tournesol, le cheddar, le fromage suisse. Parmesan, Romano Peccorino, Pimento, Parmesan râpé, fromage de chèvre à pâte dure, noix du Brésil, amarante, sarrasin, lentilles, riz, quinoa et épeautre.


Le zinc est si central que de nombreux cas de Covid-19. Les remèdes sont des ionophores de zinc, qui aident le zinc à traverser plus facilement la membrane cellulaire.
Le zinc est présent dans le cacao, l’aloe vera, les pois chiches, les haricots blancs, les graines de chanvre, les graines de citrouille, les pois aux yeux noirs, les haricots noirs, les haricots blancs, les pois verts, les pignons de pin, les noix de cajou, les graines de chia, les noix de pécan, les graines de tournesol, les épinards cuits, le Lima Haricots, graines de lin, fromage suisse, parmesan, noix du Brésil, noix, amandes, noisettes et flocons d’avoine


Les ionophores de zinc sont : a. Quinine, b. Quercétine. c. Quinoléine, d. EGCG et e. Hespéridine
Les sources alimentaires de quinine sont le pamplemousse et les noix.


Les sources alimentaires de quercétine sont les câpres et les baies de sureau. Dille, aloe vera, coriandre, oignons, canneberges, laitue rouge, oignons rouges, asperges, chou frisé, poivrons rouges, laitue romaine, poivrons verts, airelles et cacao.


Les sources alimentaires de quinoléine sont le thé, le cacao et les produits à base de cacao, les herbes et les épices.


Les sources alimentaires d’hespéridine sont les oranges sanguines, les clémentines, les oranges douces, les mandarines, les citrons, les limes, les pamplemousses, l’Aloe vera et le cacao.
EGCG : est enrichi par la curcumine, qui se trouve dans le curcuma. Et le poivre noir améliore l’absorption de la curcumine de 2 000 %.
Donc, si vous mangez du zinc, combinez-le avec l’un d’entre eux, comme l’EGCG dans le thé vert ou la quinoléine dans n’importe quel thé ou herbe. L’EGCG est renforcé par la curcumine et la curcumine est renforcée par le poivre. Et si vous mangez vos flocons d’avoine avec du kéfir de lait et de l’orange et que vous buvez le mélange du lundi du programme de rotation des herbes, vous avez du zinc provenant des flocons d’avoine et du poivre, de l’EGCG, de la quinoléine, du curcuma et du poivre du thé.
Et faites-le à chaque collation et repas. Créez des combinaisons intelligentes qui améliorent l’absorption des nutriments, comme le montrent également les recettes de Dandhea. Soyez le gardien idéal de votre corps, créez l’endroit parfait à l’intérieur et sur votre peau, et dans votre bouche pour votre microbiome, soyez un hôte merveilleux pour eux. Ils travaillent dur pour vous, faites des efforts pour eux.
Et non, les tanins du thé n’entravent pas l’absorption du fer. Des recherches effectuées en 2017 ont révélé que nous pouvons donc prendre le thé avec, après ou avant nos repas ! Voir chapitre d.6.C.5.
Mangez des vitamines en grappes :
Méfiez-vous également de la surcharge en zinc, car cela provoque une carence en fer.
Mais une carence en fer peut également être causée par une carence en cuivre, car à côté de la vitamine C-LAA, le fer a besoin de cuivre pour être métabolisé dans notre corps. Familiarisez-vous avec les relations entre les nutriments afin de savoir où chercher en cas de pénurie.
Les sources alimentaires de cuivre sont : champignons shiitake séchés, graines de sésame, noix de cajou, feuilles de vigne, graines de tournesol, noisettes, noix du Brésil, graines de chanvre, graines de citrouille, pignons de pin, pistaches, graines de lin, oreille de chat (faux pissenlit, Hypochaeris radicata). ) Sarrasin,


Le fer a donc également besoin de vitamine C-LAA pour être métabolisé, tout comme le folate, et rappelez-vous, la vitamine C-LAA a besoin de sodium pour être métabolisée.
Cela signifie que quiconque suit un régime sans sel manque également de vitamine C-LAA, de folate et de fer ! Une condamnation à mort assurée !


Une autre raison pour laquelle le sel est un bon allié dans la lutte contre le Covid-19 est qu’il forme du dioxyde de chlore, qui combat les virus, notamment le Covid, et que des niveaux élevés de sodium sont associés à de meilleures chances de survie en cas d’infection par le Covid.

La principale source alimentaire de sodium est bien sûr le sel. Le sel de l’Himalaya est le meilleur choix, car il contient également tous les autres minéraux,


Mais le sodium est aussi dans les marinés verts, les olives, le camembert, les olives noires, le brie, le fromage cottage, l’emmental, le céleri, les betteraves crues, les carottes crues, le brocoli cru. cacahuètes crues,


Le sodium doit être équilibré avec le potassium dans un équilibre de 1 à 2 : 1, sinon votre tension artérielle devient trop élevée. L’abaissement de la tension artérielle doit se faire avec du potassium et des oméga-3-ALA, et non avec du sel. C’est comme si vous vous coupiez la main parce que vous avez une écharde au doigt. Cela va à l’encontre du but recherché. La consommation excessive d’eau, et tout ce qui va si loin au-delà de l’étanchéification de la soif qu’elle vous donne des haut-le-cœur, est également mauvaise pour votre taux de potassium. Boire selon la soif et le désir, manger selon le goût. Cela vous rend aussi plus heureux.


Les sources alimentaires de potassium sont : tomates séchées au soleil, tomates séchées au soleil, emballées dans l’huile, égouttées, poudre de cacao, chips de pomme de terre, feuilles de betterave, raisins secs, pruneaux, cacahuètes, figues, ignames au four, dattes, frites, haricots adzuki, sucrées Pommes de terre vertes et haricots de Lima.


Le bêta-carotène se trouve dans les patates douces (à ne pas confondre avec les ignames, qui contiennent moins de bêta-carotène), les carottes, le chou frisé, les épinards, la citrouille, la courge musquée, les tomates, les oranges, le cantaloup, l’aloe vera, les poivrons rouges, les abricots, Mangue, pissenlits, brocoli, pois, courge, igname, ail, moutarde et graines de citrouille


Et ne confondez pas le bêta-carotène avec la vitamine A. Contrairement à la vitamine A, vous ne pouvez jamais avoir de surcharge en bêta-carotène, car il peut être stocké. La vitamine A ne le peut pas et provoque des ravages dans le corps lorsqu’elle est en trop grande quantité.


Et ne confondez pas non plus le bêta-carotène provenant de l’alimentation, qui est bénéfique, avec le bêta-carotène provenant de suppléments, qui ne l’est pas. En effet, le bêta-carotène provenant des aliments contient du bêta-carotène cis, alors que les suppléments ne contiennent que du bêta-carotène trans.


Le bêta-carotène augmente avec les sautés. Voyez si la perte de vitamine C en vaut la peine. Le bêta-carotène est sensible à la chaleur mais des pertes significatives ne se produisent qu’après de longues périodes d’ébullition. Alors que faire sauter en présence d’une petite quantité d’huile entraîne une énorme augmentation de la bioaccessibilité du bêta-carotène des légumes, l’augmentation de étant 263% (feuilles de fenugrec), 192% (feuilles d’amarante), 63% (carotte) et 53% (citrouille), il diminue la vitamine C-LAA. La destruction la plus élevée de l’acide ascorbique ou de la vitamine C-LAA se produit à des températures comprises entre 85 et 95°C, surtout après 10 minutes de cuisson.
Tous ces nutriments ont chacun leurs propres propriétés anti-Covid bien entendu.
Vous voyez à quelle fréquence les mêmes aliments reviennent ? La plupart des aliments contiennent plus d’un nutriment anti-Covid. C’est pourquoi il est beaucoup moins difficile d’obtenir les plus de 50 nutriments promis pour lutter contre le Covid qu’il n’y paraît, surtout si vous incluez toutes les herbes et tous les thés.
Et c’est tout ce que les guérisseurs d’autrefois utilisaient, avec des résultats étonnants, même sans les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons aujourd’hui.
Mais ce n’est pas la science qui est suivie. Ce sont des politiques qui n’ont rien à voir avec notre bien-être.
Ainsi, la viande est toujours considérée comme la norme, tandis que les aliments à base de plantes participent à une symphonie de vie qui nous fait sentir vibrant, comme l’intégrité, la vérité et la beauté. Cela les rend bien meilleurs que ceux à base de viande, qui restent souvent comme un poids mort en nous, insensibles et dérangeants, comme le mensonge et la tromperie. Mais il faut savoir quels aliments végétaux consommer dans quel équilibre, comment les préparer et comment les associer. C’est ce que vous pouvez trouver ici.
En plus de cela, les produits d’origine animale ne contiennent souvent que les nutriments que les animaux ont pu manger, c’est pourquoi le fromage n’est pas toujours une source de K2, c’est seulement si les animaux ont été nourris avec du K1, et pourtant dans les listes d’aliments, on prétendra que si c’est toujours là-dedans.
En règle générale, les formes parentales de nutriments sont bonnes, mais les dérivés sont toxiques, ce qui semble étrange car le corps les fabrique lui-même. Mais le corps les fabrique quand et où il en a besoin et les utilise immédiatement. Elle n’a aucun endroit où stocker les produits dérivés et ceux-ci deviennent une charge pour elle en cas d’excédent.
La vitamine E est une autre vitamine dont la pénurie a été associée au Covid-19 et qui a une fausse forme dans les suppléments qui non seulement ne fonctionne pas, mais qui bloque la vraie vitamine E. La vitamine E octo est une vitamine E d’origine naturelle qui existe dans huit formes chimiques (alpha-, bêta-, gamma- et delta-tocophérol et alpha-, bêta-, gamma- et delta-tocotriénol) qui ont différents niveaux d’activité biologique. Vitamine E monosynthétique Vitamine E composée uniquement d’alpha tocophérol et bloquant la vraie vitamine E
La vitamine E est stable à la chaleur mais sensible à la lumière, elle doit donc être conservée dans l’obscurité ou dans un emballage opaque.
Les sources alimentaires de vitamine E sont l’huile de germe de blé, l’huile de noisette, les graines de tournesol, les amandes, les noix, les noisettes, l’huile d’olive, les pignons de pin, les arachides, les noix du Brésil, les avocats et les épinards crus.
Le sélénium guérit le cancer et le Covid, mais trop rend chauve. Les sources alimentaires de sélénium sont les noix du Brésil, les graines de tournesol grillées, les graines de chia, les graines de tournesol crues, les flocons d’avoine, les pâtes à grains entiers, la moutarde, les graines de sésame grillées, le persil lyophilisé, le Kamut, le couscous et les graines de lin.
D’autres nutriments qui combattent le Covid sont ceux qui contiennent du soufre, qui est le soufre lui-même présent dans le sel de l’Himalaya,
Le sel est un minéral et donc stable à la chaleur.
L’organosulfure se trouve dans les légumes du genre Allium et Brassica (crucifères), c’est-à-dire l’oignon, l’ail, le brocoli, le chou, le chou-fleur, etc.
Les composés organosulfurés présents dans l’oignon augmentent de 34,2 à 568,0 % pendant la friture, la cuisson à la vapeur et au micro-ondes, tandis que les composés organosulfurés diminuent de 32,6 à 69,4 % pendant l’ébullition.
Glucosinolates, que l’on trouve dans les légumes crucifères comme le brocoli, le chou-fleur, le chou de Bruxelles, le chou, le chou vert, le chou frisé, les câpres, les navets, les radis, le daïkon, la moutarde, le cresson, le raifort, le wasabi.
Toute chaleur réduit la quantité de glucosinolates, la meilleure façon de les manger est donc crue.
Sulforaphane, présent dans les pousses de brocoli, le brocoli, le chou-fleur, le chou frisé, le chou de Bruxelles, le chou, les variétés rouges et blanches, le bok choy, le cresson, la roquette, également connue sous le nom de roquette.
Le sulforaphane est instable à la chaleur. Le sulforaphane apparaît comme un composé stable lorsqu’il est exposé à la lumière et dans des conditions acides avec un pH de 3,0.
Le soufre MSM est un combattant du Covid en raison de son rôle dans la fabrication du glutathion. C’est dans les tomates, les germes de luzerne, les légumes verts à feuilles, les pommes, les framboises et les grains entiers.
Le soufre de méthylsulfonylméthane (MSM) est relativement inerte chimiquement et est capable de résister à la décomposition à des températures élevées.
Méthionine, dont les sources alimentaires sont les noix, les haricots, les lentilles, le germe de blé, la spiruline, le kéfir de lait et le fromage cottage,
La méthionine est thermostable.
La méthionine est décomposée à 86 % après 24 h à 180 °C.
La taurine est un autre nutriment contenant du soufre. Ses capacités à combattre le Covid font l’objet de recherches. On le trouve dans les amandes, les noix de cajou, les noisettes, les pignons de pin, les graines de citrouille et le Dulse.

La taurine n’est pas détruite par la cuisson. Cependant, la taurine est soluble dans l’eau. Par conséquent, lors de tout type de traitement (y compris la cuisson), de la taurine peut être perdue dans l’eau. Si la Taurine est cuite dans de l’eau (bouillie ou cuite à la vapeur), elle perdra plus de taurine que si elle était cuite.
La cystéine et la glycine aident à détoxifier et à libérer les récepteurs de testostérone.
L-La cystéine se trouve dans les graines de tournesol, le fromage suisse, les lentilles, l’avoine, le kéfir, le fromage cottage, le yaourt, les carottes et le couscous.
Les sources alimentaires de glycine sont les graines de citrouille, les graines de chanvre, les arachides, les graines de tournesol, les graines de lin, les graines de sésame, les pistaches, l’avoine, les noix, le quinoa, le fromage à pâte dure, les amandes, les pâtes, le pain, les haricots blancs/haricots marins et les pois cassés.

Les analyses des acides aminés des échantillons chauffés ont montré que la plupart des acides aminés, comme la L-cystéine, sont stables jusqu’à 120 degrés C. Initialement, à des températures plus élevées, une diminution presque rectiligne se produit qui atteint un stade critique à 160 degrés C.

La lysine est stable lors du traitement thermique. La teneur en lysine n’était inférieure que de 3,3 %, même chauffée à 100 °C pendant 36 heures.
Les protéines et les acides aminés ne sont pas sensibles à la chaleur, mais comme les minéraux et les vitamines, incorporez le poireau dans les liquides dans lesquels ils ont été préparés, alors consommez-les toujours !
Dans des études, il a été démontré que l’iode élimine le virus Corona. Les sources alimentaires d’iode sont : le varech Kombu, le wakame, le nori, le sel iodé, le yaourt grec, le cheddar et le kéfir de lait.
L’iode est un minéral, il est donc thermostable.
Le sélénium active l’iode.
Le sélénium guérit le cancer et le Covid, mais trop rend chauve. Les sources alimentaires de sélénium sont les noix du Brésil, les graines de tournesol grillées, les graines de chia, les graines de tournesol crues, les flocons d’avoine, les pâtes à grains entiers, la moutarde, les graines de sésame grillées, le persil lyophilisé, le Kamut, le couscous et les graines de lin.


Chaque carence et surcharge nutritionnelle a ses symptômes, que vous pouvez apprendre à reconnaître et à résoudre en quelques minutes au lieu de l’agonie infructueuse que le système médical semble aimer nous faire subir. Pas tous ceux qui y participent, et probablement par ignorance. Mais un nombre surprenant de médecins en savent bien plus qu’ils ne peuvent le laisser croire. Souvent, ils attendent d’avoir remporté un prix Nobel avant de dire ce qu’ils ressentent réellement. Écoutez ces discours de remerciement, vous les entendrez dire les mêmes choses que celles écrites ici. Mais qui écoute les conférences Nobel, n’est-ce pas ? Je vous encourage à le faire. Ils sont très divertissants et instructifs, et y faire référence ajoutera du poids à vos arguments en faveur d’un système de santé sans tyrannie.


“T”
Le dernier « T » de Motherhat est pour le timing, la combinaison, la préparation et la planification.
Outre les nutriments que vous prenez, le moment où vous les prenez et la manière dont vous les préparez sont importants pour tirer les bénéfices optimaux de ces nutriments.
Lorsque vous faites cuire du riz ou des haricots, ou quoi que ce soit d’autre, ne jetez pas l’eau dans laquelle vous l’avez fait bouillir. C’est là que la plupart des vitamines s’infiltrent, alors préparez-en une bonne soupe ou une bonne sauce ! Souvent, c’est déjà très savoureux et vous n’avez rien à ajouter, puisque vous avez déjà ajouté du sel pour la cuisson.


Vous ne pouvez pas trop cuire vos haricots. Les vitamines s’échapperont simplement dans l’eau de cuisson. Utilisez-le donc pour les soupes et les sauces. N’ajoutez pas de vinaigre ou de bicarbonate de soude à l’eau lorsque vous cuisinez des légumes. L’acidité ou l’alcalinité combinée à la chaleur détruit la vitamine B5, l’acide pentathénique. La cuisson au sel ne détruit pas les vitamines B. Vous ne pouvez pas trop cuire les haricots. Vous pouvez cependant les sous-cuire. C’est ce qui cause le vent. Vérifiez donc toujours si les haricots sont vraiment cuits avant de les retirer du feu. Ils doivent être complètement mous.


J’utilise les proportions 2-4-8 pour décider de la quantité d’eau et de sel que je dois ajouter aux haricots qui ont trempé pendant 24 heures. Après avoir jeté l’eau de trempage dans les plantes et rincé 2 demi-tasses de haricots, je les mets dans une casserole avec 8 demi-tasses d’eau filtrée avec 4 cuillères à café de sel de l’Himalaya et fais cuire les haricots jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient complètement tendres. L’eau dans laquelle je les ai fait cuire est parfaite comme soupe. Je n’ai rien à ajouter, c’est délicieux tel quel.
Préparez et planifiez vos journées pour manger des repas et des collations saines, utilisez le cycle de dîner de 3 jours Dandhea décrit au chapitre d.7.d. pour le plus de nutriments, avec le moins de problèmes et de gaspillage.


Sachez que lorsque vous combinez du sel de l’Himalaya, du vinaigre et de l’huile d’olive, une combinaison traditionnelle pour la vinaigrette, vous faites un Revici, qui a guéri le cancer avec du soufre et des oméga-6-LA. Et grâce aux Oméga-6-LA contenus dans l’huile d’olive, tous les merveilleux nutriments de votre salade sont transportés là où ils sont le plus nécessaires, à savoir vers les lésions des membranes cellulaires, le seul endroit contenant des acides gras libres, qui attirent les Oméga-6. -LA avec n’importe quel nutriment curatif qu’il transporte comme un aimant.


Sachez que lorsque vous buvez du thé avec vos flocons d’avoine, vous combinez du zinc avec le plus puissant des ionophores de zinc, la quinoléine, dans le thé., faisant un Treben, qui a guéri des patients atteints de cancer abandonnés en une semaine rien qu’avec du thé. Et si vous ajoutez des graines de lin à votre muesli avec des flocons d’avoine et un peu de sel, vous faites également un Johanna Budwig, qui a guéri le cancer en combinant l’oméga-3-ALA avec du soufre pour guérir le cancer. Vous suivez le traitement qu’elle utilisait pour soigner les patients atteints de cancer et qui ont été abandonnés par l’établissement médical en une semaine, tout comme Maria Treben, comme routine quotidienne en mangeant simplement un délicieux petit-déjeuner le matin et une bonne salade au déjeuner ou au dîner. l’après-midi ou le soir en collation. Rien de plus normal et non invasif. Et combiné Utiliser les herbes Ramisse avec de l’huile d’olive extra vierge biologique pour une réponse ciblée au Covid si vous présentez des symptômes crée une centrale d’herbes avec laquelle bombarder n’importe quel virus.


C’est ce qu’il y a de bien avec la connaissance. Vous ne pouvez plus vous laisser tromper par des régimes déprimants et des thérapies pour les sourds, parce que vous savez qu’ils sont faux, et que grâce au fonctionnement de notre microbiome, ce qui est sain nous plaît et nous rend heureux, stimulant ainsi les protéines du bonheur qui sont aussi si important pour l’immunité. Tout traitement qui ignore ce fait n’est probablement pas vraiment destiné à vous guérir. Il en va de même pour tout traitement qui nuit à votre microbiome.


Pratiquons notre droit à la santé, fondé sur des données probantes. La science et la pratique ont confirmé des moyens de prévenir et de guérir les maladies au lieu du désordre orienté vers le profit, basé sur les peluches, soutenu par la finance et poussé de manière trompeuse dans lequel nous nous trouvons actuellement, de sorte que la guérison soit naturelle et sans toxines. l’alimentation et les soins deviennent une norme bienvenue au lieu d’une exception mal vue, et la guérison naturelle et sans toxines devient aussi abondante et normale, aussi délicieuse et délicieuse que les pissenlits au printemps!

Summary Motherhat

This is the summary you can find in Motherhat IV, with all the nutrients you need to fight Covid-19 and most any disease, as well as the supplements you need to avoid. For the sources, check the books in the Motherhat series, as well as in Dandhea Book I part III.

Our bodies are not plants that can make all their own nutrients from the elements, but they do prefer to make their nutrients themselves, not from scratch like carpenters, but more like how we build our furniture from materials bought at IKEA. Sort of ready made, but we still have to finish it, with enough play space that we can fit it exactly to our needs. That’s the kind of nutrients plants give.

Our bodies are like couturiers who don’t do their own weaving, and who don’t want clothes off the rack, but nice materials with which they can make everything they want, and plants give those materials, just as our bodies prefer them.

Meat is more like the off the rack clothing. Our bodies get by with it, but they prefer plants. With the right timing, combining, preparing and planning, our bodies thrive on them.

Disease is often caused by nutrient deficiencies or overloads. Covid-19 not only resembles many nutrient deficiencies, it is also healed when these are corrected. Motherhat is an acronym for a way to get all the nutrients in, naturally and deliciously, preventing and healing many diseases, among which Covid. While the evidence why it works may be overwhelming and complicated, the practice is amazingly simple and shows the wisdom of traditional recipes.

“M”

Covid-19 severity has been linked to depletion of beneficial bacteria in our microbiome, which is the perfect place to start, since healthy foods have healthy fibers that grow healthy microbes that make you crave healthy foods, which means you are eating healthy foods by just following your appetite, which also means that it makes you happy, and happiness proteins are crucial for healing.

Our microbiome, the “M” in Motherhat, is a treasure trove that makes many of the nutrients we need itself. It’s a paradise garden we carry in and on us where we grow our own food. All we need to do is not ruin it. But even if we do, we can rebuild it with pre- and probiotics.

A thief’s favorite trick is closing your eyes to the exquisiteness of what you have, so you don’t notice what he or she is stealing from you.

Thus the precious value of our microbiome is often downplayed. But if you dig into the research, you find out it is far more amazing than you could have imagined. An impressive list of vitamins is made by them, the health benefits include healing cancer and cardio vascular disease, and they even influence the production of happiness hormones in our brain! What’s more, without a healthy microbiome, we can’t tolerate healthy foods and we get into a vicious cycle of being unhealthy because of that. Prevent that, heal that by starting with your microbiome. Cherish your microbiome. You can do that in different ways, depending where it is.

Give your gut microbiome the prebiotics and probiotics it needs, For the microbiome in your mouth, use toothpaste and mouthwash that target the pathogens, not the good bacteria,(see Motherhat I d.1.2.b.2.2. and Dandhea Book I Part III 7.1.2.b.2.2.) and for your skin, use skin care products that protect your skin’s microbiome. Find recipe’s for skin microbiome sparing care in Motherhat I d.1.3. Dandhea Book I Part III 7.1.3. Not the usual recipe’s, but ones that are more luxurious than the top commercial brands. Why should natural be plain? Your skin and hair will look and feel better than ever. No chemicals, just flowers, vinegar and essential oils that match the happiness proteins stimulating scents perfectly, not by design, but that’s just how integrity works. Things fall into place. And of course circular. We want to be on earth like the good bacteria in our bodies, doing good only.

Our microbes influence what foods we crave so a smart way to improve your health is by doing an appetite hack by flooding your system with probiotics. Kefir and Kombucha are excellent sources.

Probiotics cannot be processed or heated. Approximately 83 percent of the cultures could be killed in 30 minutes or less at 145 ° F. (is 62.8 ° C) The thermal death times at 136 ° F (is 57.8 ° C)

Prebiotics are food for probiotics. Each prebiotic enhances it’s own probiotic, so it’s important to have a variety of prebiotics in your menu. The difference between probiotics and pathogens? Probiotics feed you and sustain you, pathogens eat you and make you ill!

GOSs are prebiotics that can greatly stimulate Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Bifido bacteria are what make 7 of the 8 B vitamins, all but Vitamin B5. Resident microbiome Lacto bacillus Bifidus, makes 7 of the 8 B Vitamins, which are Vitamin B1, Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Riboflavin, Vitamin B3, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine, Vitamin B7, Biotin, Vitamin B9, Folate and Vitamin B12, Cobalamin. It is also in Water kefir, Milk kefir. Kombucha, buttermilk and sauerkraut

Studies show GOS increases immunity responses against Covid-19

GOS is in the fibers in Beans, Lentils, Vegetables and Root vegetables.

For every 100 grams of prebiotics we consume 30 grams of probiotics are formed.

Prebiotics are defined by stability. But you do have to leave them in.

Vitamin B5, Pantothenic acid, is made by Lactaris and R. torques) (Firmicutes); Salmonella enterica and Helicobacter pylori (Proteobacteria) which are also are permanent residents in our microbiome.

Lactobacillus lactis, which is needed to make Vitamin K2 from Vitamin K1. is a guest microbe that needs to be reintroduced every day and never settles in our microbiome permanently. It is in apple cider vinegar, Sauerkraut, Water Kefir, Kombucha, Buttermilk, Milk Kefir, and Yogurt

Combine Vitamin K1, and the Lactobacillus lactis to make K2 from K1,

Vitamin K1 is in Parsley, Swiss Chard, Kale, Mustard Greens, Dandelion Greens, Beet Greens, Collard Greens, Broccoli, Cabbage, Prunes, Kiwi, Green Beans and Avocado.

Vitamin K1, phylloquinone, is sensitive to light, alkaline conditions, and air, but is not destroyed by cooking heat.

Now isn’t yogurt, or even better, milk kefir, (Lactobacillus lactis source) much nicer with some fruit (Vitamin K1 source)?

And there you have a nice breakfast.

And isn’t kale (a Vitamin K1 source) much nicer with some apple cider vinegar (a Lactobacillus lactis source) salt (which helps with Vitamin C-LAA uptake) and Olive oil (which helps absorb minerals like magnesium and Zinc better)?

As a rule, what’s healthier is also tastier! Vitamin C-LAA is better absorbed with some salt. Beta carotene is better absorbed with some olive oil, as are iron and magnesium.

And there you have your most basic of salad dressings! Who would have thought that a salad with a quality salad dressing is much healthier than one without?

Fructans stimulate the growth of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria and decrease pathogens.

Fructans food sources are Barley, Jerusalem Artichoke, Garlic, Onions, Shallots, Rye, Globe Artichoke, Wheat, Spanish Onions, Leeks and Beet roots.

Studies show Fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) are able to reduce the side effects of vaccines against Covid-19.

Like GOS, FOS significantly stimulates the growth of Bifidobacterium probiotic strains

FOS food sources are Chicory root, Jerusalem Artichoke, Dandelion, Leeks, Garlic, Yacon root, Onions, Burdock root, Asparagus, Wheat, Banana’s and Barley.

Inulin stimulates the growth and activity of SCFA-producing bacteria. SCFA stands for Short Chain Fatty Acids. Those are fatty acids with a chain of up to 6 Carbon atoms.

Studies show Inulin reduces the severity of Covid-19.

Inulin food sources are: Burdock root, Chicory root, Jerusalem Artichoke, Dandelion greens, Garlic, Leeks, Wheat, Asparagus, Rye, Banana and Barley.

Pectin improves blood sugar and blood fat levels, kills cancer cells, promotes a healthy weight, and improves digestion.

Pectins improve the survival of probiotic species Lactobacillus fermentum PCC, L. reuteri RC-14, L. rhamnosus LGG and L. paracasei F-19. For their many health benefits, see Motherhat I Chapter d.1.3.3.a. Pectin and Dandhea Book I Part III Chapter 7.d.1.3.3.a.

Pectin polysaccharides from natural plants cell walls modulate immunity against SARS-CoV-2 through the release of cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, anti-inflammatory activity, and the increased phagocytosis of macrophages.

Pectin food sources are: Lemon peel, Orange peel, Rose hips, Grapefruit, Guava, Apple, Carrots, Apricots and Cherries.

Covid-19 disease severity is also linked to Omega-6-LA deficiency. The Bristol study was able to map it out, as well as the remedy: Omega-6-LA.

Beta-glucan is beneficial for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity.

Beta-glucan stimulates Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus plantarum (see Motherhat III Chapter d.1.3.3.b and Dandhea Book I Pat III Chapter 7. 1.3.3.b for their benefits) and in general all probiotics by making them more resistant to hostile circumstances as increased heat, increased acidity, adverse intestinal conditions and time influenced degeneration.

Studies show Beta-glucan heals and prevents Covid-19.

Beta-glucan food sources are Chanterelle, Shiitake, Snow Oyster mushroom, Pink Oyster mushroom, Italian Oyster mushroom, Yellow Oyster mushroom, King Oyster mushrooms, White button mushrooms, Brown button mushroom, Oats, Barley and Wheat.

Beta-glucan: enemies destroys proteins in peas and lentils

Resistant starch fermentation favors the production of butyrate, a major bacterial metabolite fundamental for keeping the gut healthy and functioning normally. Butyrate is the preferred fuel for cells lining the gut and ensuring the integrity of the gut wall, helping to protect it against cancer and other serious digestive diseases.

Eubacterium rectale is a member of the gut microbiota that produces butyrate when it breaks down resistant starch. Resistant starches can also nourish bacteria (like Ruminococcus bromii) that, in turn, produce fuel for butyrate-producing bacteria (like Faecalibacterium prausnitzii).

When bacteria produce substances that nourish other good bacteria, it’s called “cross-feeding”.

Resistant Starches help restore the gut microbiome, which protects us from Covid-19.

Resistant Starch foods sources are Beans, green banana’s, oatmeal, cooked and cooled potatoes, cooked and cooled rice, lentils.

Flavonoids alter gut microbial community structure, including increased levels of Akkermansia muciniphila26–28 which appear to confer metabolic benefits. Flavonoids also influence the gut microbiota production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA, up to 6 carbons in length)

Flavonoid food sources are Cocoa, Tea (white, green, oolong and black, 1), Blue berries, Lemons, Oranges, Tangerines, Apples, Banana’s and Carrots.

Quercetin in combination with bifidus inhibits colon cancer.

Quercetin enhances intestinal barrier function and modulates gut microbiota composition. Quercetin is fermented into several metabolites in the gut by numerous gut microbial species. These metabolites are useful substances that are diffused into the blood stream to be distributed to the various organs where their biological activities are exhibited. For Quentin’s many prebiotic functions, see Chapter d.1.3.4.a.1.1.

Quercetin is useful to combat Covid as a Zinc Ionophore but also has its own anti-Covid properties.

Quercetin food sources are Capers, Elderberries. Dille, Aloe Vera, Cilantro, Onions, Cranberries, Red Lettuce, Red Onions, Asparagus, Kale, Red Bell Peppers, Romaine Lettuce, Green Bell Peppers, Lingonberries, Cocoa.

Luteolin is a potent blocker of SARS-CoV-2 cell entry.

Luteolin possesses anti-oxidative, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Luteolin is a prebiotic for Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus.

L. rhamnosus improves the survival rate by motivating humoral and cellular immune responses, and improved resistance against influenza-virus infection.

Luteolin food sources are Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Radicchio, Chinese Celery, Parsley, Sage, Peppermint, Raw green peppers (hot chili), Serrano pepper, raw, Fresh Rosemary, Raw Lemons without peel, Jalapeno peppers, Raw Celery, Raw Kohlrabi, Raw Spinach, Green Bell Peppers, Red Bell Peppers, Beets, raw, Brussels Sprouts, raw and Carrots, raw.

“O”

With the Omega’s, the “O” in Motherhat, we have the keys so our fabulous cells can receive all the treasures our microbiome and our diets have to offer by keeping our cell membranes at the perfect fluidity and permeability., since they reside in all the cell membranes in our entire body.

The confusion and misconceptions about the Omega’s are shocking, especially because our whole immune system hangs on these two neighbor nutrients, a nutrient relation term that is explained in chapter d.7.b.1.The innate immune system on Omega-6-LA, the acquired immune system on Omega-3-ALA, and contrary to the Microbiome produced vitamins, we can only get them through food.

There are healthy ways and unhealthy ways to get Omega-6-LA, and it needs to be balanced with Omega-3-ALA. Chapter d.2. shows you how to do that. Omega-6-ALA is in practically all nuts and seeds, you get that in without trying. Walnuts have the ideal, heart healthy 1:4 balance of Omega-3-ALA to Omega-6-LA. Other Omega-6-LA sources are Hemp seeds, Poppy seeds, Sunflower seeds, Sesame seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Chia seeds, Fax seeds, Mustard seeds, Walnut oil, Olive oil, Avocado oil, Walnuts, Brazil nuts, Pecans, Peanuts, Pistachio’s and Hazelnuts,

Omega-3-ALA can be found in Flax-seeds, Chia seeds, Hemp seeds, Walnuts, and Black- and White Mustard seeds. We need an intact microbiome to be able to digest Omega-3-ALA from healthy sources.

The unhealthy ways to get Omega-6-LA are when it is not Omega-6-LA at all, but an Omega-6-LA derivative, like Omega-6-ARA, or when it is adulterated Omega-6-LA, a trans fat, that makes the cell membrane impermeable rather than permeable. Omega-6-LA is also problematic if it is not balanced with Omega-3-ALA, which happens easily, since people are told that is in fish, but it’s not in fish at all. What is in fish is Omega-3-EPA and Omega-3-DHA, and after preparation, even that is not in there, since it deteriorates at 50 degrees Celsius, which is lucky, because we need very little of it, and the body makes all it needs from Omega-3-ALA.

These new terms are necessary to know what you are talking about, since the official terms are all over the place, using the same abbreviations for completely different oils, and a slurry of different names for the same ones. Thus ALA is also an abbreviation used for Alpha-Lipoic-Acid, a saturated fat that the body synthesizes itself, and while the terms linoleic acid and Linolenic acid are close enough to be confusing, But to make the confusion complete, Gamma-Linolenic-Acid is an Omega-6 -fatty acid, while Alpha-Linolenic-Acid is Omega-3. There are more new terms, and they are listed under 6.a. in the reference list.

Research says Omega-3-ALA is stable during cooking and processing. But Johanna Budwig treated Alpha Linolenic Acid as if it was highly reactive, even advising to eat ground flax seeds within 20 minutes, because that’s how quickly she said they would go bad, just from grinding! To be safe, I take my exceeds raw. I have never noticed them going bad.

Omega-6-LA is also stable during heating, although some sources claim it is inherently unstable. Perhaps this is because the derivatives are unstable, and they use conclusions of the one for the other? To be safe I eat the seeds and nuts for Omega-6-LA raw, but I don’t worry about the Omega-6LA in olive oil when using it for cooking, since research says it can handle it.

Of the unsaturated fats, cold pressed organic olive oil forms the least transfats when heated.

Saturated fatty acids are stable when heated, for short periods, but after long periods (8 hours) degrade. Use sparingly though. They still suffocate cells, and none of them are essential nutrients, since we synthesize them ourselves.

“T”

Now, with the microbiome in tact, the cell membranes ready and the immune system equipped, if we do get symptoms of Covid, any targeted response, the first “T” in Motherhat, is far more likely to succeed.

This virus is so weak that hot olive leaf tea and Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil already destroy it. But if these simple remedies are not applied, in nutrient deficient, poisoned bodies it wreaks havoc. And there are more things than just hot olive leaf tea and Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil as the targeted response. There are many more as listed in Motherhat II Chapter d.3. or Dandhea Book I part II Chapter 7.3. and Motherhat III chapter d.7.a. Or Dandhea Book I chapter 7.3.a,, using Revici’s now scientifically proven method, of using Omega’s to deliver healing substances to the diseased parts of your body, combined with Treben’s now scientifically proven method, of herbal infusions, for healing. Benzophenone helps for shortness of breath, that’s what my dad discovered 50 years before it was Scientifically proven. A lot of people can be helped in 50 years, so you can be helped greatly by things that are not blatantly unscientific. Not scientifically proven yet is not the same as unscientific. It may not be proven yet, or beyond the reach of science, and something for which moral grounds should apply in order to accept or reject them. If something only brings healing and brings no compromise to morals, there is no reason to reject it. And yet, it is precisely those blatantly unscientific and immoral things that are now being labeled scientific while following the proven science is labeled as unscientific! That has to change! Food sources of Benzophenone are Plantago, Elderberry, Propolis, Black tea, Passion fruit, Cherimoya and Soursop.

“HER”

Maria Treben was able to heal people just with herbal infusions. Over 70 herbs, many of which she used, and all of which have either proven anti-Covid properties, or which are still being researched for them, are mixed in seven delicious blends, one for each day, in order to get the full benefit without overusing any, the herb rotation schedule, the “Her” in Motherhat.

The schedule is Sunday Seed, Monday Root, Tuesday Leaf, Wednesday Herb, Friday Flower, Friday Wood and Saturday Fruit, with the colors of the rainbow and white for Saturday as a guide as a nice touch.

Polyphenols are generally heat resistant, and even more potent at temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius, so unlike many Vitamins, they are not lost in the process of brewing. The whole herb is always more potent than the supplement, even if the beneficial ingredient is part of the supplement, which it usually isn’t.

“H”

The Happiness proteins, which brings us to the “H” in Motherhat, play such an important role in immunity, that they can be enough all on their own, and without them even the best therapies fail. That’s why attitude and a conviction grounded in compassion is so essential, and not being uptight about following even these rules, and especially not enforce them on others. A diet and care system for optimal health without a relaxed mentality about it defeats the whole purpose!

Even the Happiness Proteins are influenced by the Microbiome.

The wrong mouthwash kills the microbes that turn nitrate into Nitric Oxide, a central substance for dopamine and serotonin. Find a recipe for beneficial microbe sparing non-toxic toothpaste and mouthwash in Chapter d.1.2.b.2.1. and d.1.2.b.2.2. Nitric Oxide is so important for happiness protein production that many happiness protein supporting foods are so because they enhance Nitric Oxide uptake in one way or another. And the coolest thing is, we get it through nasal breathing, which is important for many other reasons as well Without a healthy microbiome, Nitrate is not turned in Nitric Oxide and causes cancer and diabetes, so like Omega-3-ALA, it is one of those foods that we need to have a healthy microbiome for to be able to digest.

Nutrients for Dopamine, the reward protein, are: Vitamin B9, vitamin B12, tyrosine, phenylalanine and L-dopa

Nutrients for Dopamine and Serotonin: are Citrulline. and Nitric Oxide.

Citrulline is in Watermelon, Bitter gourds, Squash, Nuts, Chickpeas, Pumpkin and Cucumber.

Nitric oxide is an unstable molecule that degrades quickly in the bloodstream, so it must be constantly replenished.

Nitric Oxide and Nitric Oxide level increasing foods:

L-Argenine,

Nitrate in vegetables produce Nitric Oxide, which increases Serotonin and Dopamine levels

Nitrate, a compound found in certain vegetables, is one of the many reasons vegetables are healthy for you.

Vegetables high in nitrate include

Celery

Cress

Chervil

Lettuce

Beetroot

Spinach

Arugula

Nasal breathing also produces Nitric Oxide.

Increase Your Intake of Antioxidants to increase the stability and limit the breakdown of Nitric Oxide

Vitamin C-LAA is a powerful anti-oxidant. You find it in fruits and vegetables, not in supplements. Supplements have Vitamin C-DAA, which does nothing.

Nutrients for Serotonin, the mood stabilizer, are: Vitamin B9,folate and Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, not te be confused with their evil, synthetic twins, fake vitamin B9, folic acid and fake Vitamin B12, Cyanocobalamin. that not only don’t fulfill the tasks vitamins do, but are toxic as well.

In fact, avoid all the fake, synthetic vitamins, divided here into their toxicity levels: (see Motherhat IV d.7.b.5.1. Toxicity scale and d.7.b.6. confusing factors. and Dandhea Book I Part III Chapters7.7.b.5.1. Toxicity scale and 7.7.b.6. Confusing Factors) Sometimes it is derivatives while we need the parent form. Sometimes it is synthetic forms, which are already bad because they don’t do what the real nutrient does. And sometimes these synthetic forms are toxic in and of themselves. Derivatives can also be toxic, even if the body makes them itself, either because they are highly unstable, or because the body needs them at an exact timing and quantity, which it can only manage if it can make it itself whenever it needs. And because it is geared towards making as much as it needs when it needs it, it has no way to store excess beneficially, so excess causes inflammation, which is exactly what happens if you take derivatives instead of parent forms.

Inert forms Vitamin C-DAA, which is synthetic and does not even heal scurvy, as opposed to the real Vitamin C-LAA,

Top Vitamin C-LAA food sources in descending order are: kakadu plums, rose hips, Acerola cherries, guava’s, yellow bell peppers, chili peppers, black currants, parsley, mustard spinach, red bell peppers, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, green bell peppers and kiwi’s.

1.tsd 1 disturbing derivatives Vitamin A, oral Vitamin D, Omega-3-EPA and Omega-3-DHA

Don’t take Vitamin A, Retinol. Take Beta-carotene from natural food sources, not from supplements. Beta-carotene from supplements is not the natural, beneficial Cis Beta-carotene found in fruit and vegetables, but harmful Trans Beta-carotene, which is synthetic.

Vitamin D from supplements is not the same as Vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D from supplements is harmful, Vitamin D from the sun is beneficial. To know how long you need to stay in the sun to get the RDA, see the UV for D sunchart in Motherhat III in chapter d.6.D.1. or Dandhea Book I part II chapter 7.6.D.1. It’s surprisingly short, and we can store the excess long enough even for people near the North and South poles to get through the winter months without depleted Vitamin D levels as long as they have gotten enough sun in the Summer, which is very easy to do.

We need most of our Omega-3 in the parent form of Omega-3-ALA. From that the body can make as much Omega-3-DHA and Omega-EPA as it needs., which is only a few percent. It can’t revert Omega-3-DHA or Omega-3-EPA back to its parent form though. For beneficial Omega-3-ALA and Omega-6-LA. For Omega-3-ALA food sources and how to eat it in balance with Omega-6-LA, see Dandhea Book III part I chapter 1, Dandhea Book I Part II chapter 7.6.2.2. or Motherhat I chapter d.2.2.

2. tsd2 toxic sources of Omega’s, if the oil is GMO or full of transfats what use is it if there is Omega-6-LA in an oil, or if an oil has the perfect balance of Omega-3-ALA and Omega-6-LA?

To see which fats are healthy, see Dandhea Book I Part I chapter I and Book I part III Chapter 7. 2 or Motherhat I chapter d.2.

3.tsd3. damaging forms confused with true forms: Trans beta-carotene instead of the natural cis betacarotene, synthetic niacinamide instead of the real Niacin or nicotinic Acid, Vitamin B3.

Fake Vitamin B9, folic acid, which is toxic and stops real vitamin B9, folate. Fake vitamin B12, Cyanocobalamin which is synthetic, with Methyl Cobalamin, Vitamin B12, fake Vitamin E mono instead of the real Vitamin E octo

Misleading information on how to get them.

Not telling us all the B vitamins are made by the microbiome. Telling us Vitamin B is ubiquitous in food, but not telling us it does leech into what ever we heat it in, so that you need to consume that as well to get the full benefit. See Dandhea Book I Part III Chapter 7.6.B and Motherhat III chapter d.6.B.

Pretending that synthetic probiotics are as good as natural ones. They are not. Synthetic probiotics are harmful, natural ones are incredibly beneficial. Find them in Motherhat I Chapter d. I and in Dandhea Book III chapter 7.1.

A Nutrients for Oxytocin, The Love Protein, is. Magnesium.

Magnesium improves Oxytocin Receptor Function and has a seesaw relation with cortisol. Magnesium is soulmates with Potassium. Magnesium is enhanced by Boron. Enemies: Inhibited by Calcium and Phytic Acid

Magnesium food sources are: Pumpkin Seeds, Raw Cocoa, Roasted Cocoa, Almonds,

Flax Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Cashew Nuts, Chia Seeds,

Buckwheat, Pine Nuts, Bulgur, Hazelnuts,

Walnuts, Pecan Nuts, Sunflower Seeds and Raw Spinach

Nutrients for Endorphin,, The Pain Killer, are:

Dark chocolate, Fats, carbohydrates, Vitamin C-LAA, Spicy foods, Rhodiola (use Rhodiola sparingly, it’s very strong)

Panax ginseng and Vanilla bean are natural anti-depressants.

Behaviors that stimulate Dopamine are: goal achievement, gratitude, spending time in nature, prayer, novelty, beauty, nasal breathing.

Behaviors that stimulate Serotonin production are: regular exercise, gratitude, dwelling on happy memories, positive prayer, pleasant social interactions and nasal breathing.

Behaviors that stimulate Oxytocin production are: kindness, a consensual hug, dancing, massage, connections with loved ones in any way, can also be through social media.

Behaviors that stimulate Endorphin production are: exercise, laughing, listening to music dancing and touch.

Scents that stimulate Dopamine production are Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon

Scents that stimulate Serotonin production are Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon

Scents that stimulate Oxytocin production are Lavender, Neroli, Jasmine absolute. Roman chamomile Clary sage, and Indian sandalwood.

Scents that stimulate Endorphin production are Vanilla, Rose, Jasmine, and Lavender.

Happiness proteins are discussed in Motherhat II d.5 and Dandhea Book I part III chapter 7.5.

Why call them proteins and not neurotransmitters? Because some are not neurotransmitters but hormones, but they are all proteins.

“A”

Deficiency of most any nutrient has been linked to increased Covid-19 severity. So are Vitamins a cure for Covid, or is Covid a consequence of nutrient deficiencies? No matter what the answer is, the solution is the same: Prevent and cure Covid-19 with healthy nutrients from organic sources.

It’s hard to find a healthy nutrient that does not work against Covid-19.,which brings us to the “A” in Motherhat, the additional nutrients.

At the same time, it is equally hard to figure out what the healthy nutrients are. Two different names for Vitamins often means one of them is a synthetic, failed attempt at a copy of a vitamin that doesn’t have the properties or the benefits of the vitamin it tries to mimic. That’s why I talk about Vitamin C-LAA, because that’s the real Vitamin C. The Vitamin C-DAA that’s often in supplements does not even heal scurvy!

Vitamin C-LAA is in rose hips, Acerola cherries, guava’s, yellow bell peppers, chili peppers, black currants, parsley, mustard spinach, red bell peppers, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, green bell peppers and kiwi’s.

The highest destruction of ascorbic acid or Vitamin C-LAA occurs at temperatures between 85 and 95°C, especially after 10 minutes of cooking time.

Official advice on how to take vitamins is often inconsistent with peer reviewed scientific research. I thought the research contradicting official information was just on Omega’s. But there is research contradicting official information on every vitamin. Luckily it is possible to get to the reliable research, and that’s what I have shared here in an easily applicable way.

Not only do all the nutrients listed in Motherhat heal Covid-19, many of them also have deficiency symptoms that match Covid-19.

Let’s name a few.

Covid looks a lot like Zinc deficiency, which is caused by Calcium overload, which is caused by Vitamin D supplementation, which is advised as a Covid prevention, while oral Vitamin D supplementation is always a bad idea. You should get Vitamin D from the sun. And you don’t even need to stay in it very long as can be seen in the UV for D sun chart in Motherhat III chapter d.6.D. 1 and Dandhea Book I part III chapter 7.6.D.1. Nor do you have to be nearly nude. Even just the eyes can be enough, without looking in the sun of course.

To get Vitamin D from the sun, which is the only healthy way, you need, cholesterol. Statins block cholesterol, a valuable substance that helps out where other elements fail to do their job, and that gets blamed for the damage, while all it does is try to repair what others do wrong. That’s why here it’s called an Emergency nutrient, that jumps in wherever there is an emergency, while having its own extremely important tasks. The important tasks Cholesterol normally has is maker of Vitamin D together with the help of sunlight and maker of all the hormones as well as of the myelin sheath around nerve cells.

Cholesterol is made by coenzyme a, which is made by Vitamin B5, or Pantothenic acid, which is made in the gut, but is also in the following foods: Shiitake mushrooms, Sunflower seeds, Whey, Raw White Button Mushrooms, Avocados, Peanuts, wheat germ, Camembert, Walnuts, Raw Endives, Brie, Guava’s, Whole Milk, Whole Yogurt, Sesame seeds and Kefir.

Covid-19 mortality victims are all short on Vitamin D we are told., The elderly get put on Statins all the time, and thus are short on cholesterol, thus unable to make Vitamin D from sunlight, besides missing out on all cholesterol’s essential tasks. No wonder they get confused and break bones! How many signs of old age are just symptoms of over medication? Very many!

There are so many factors that influence Vitamin -D formation, that it is suspiciously short sighted to immediately assume any Vitamin D shortage comes from lack of sunlight. Not just Statins, but high fructose corn syrup, lack of Vitamin B5, Alcohol abuse, Smoking, all these factors and more can cause lack of Vitamin D formation.

And why are they testing the blood for Vitamin D? It’s a hormone, which is hardly ever in the blood, and all cells can make it from sunlight, so why would it ever need to be in blood? Even if people were to have the physical symptoms of lack of vitamin D, which would show up as bad teeth and weak bones, there are still many things that could cause that. That’s something to consider in all deficiencies. It doesn’t have to be caused by the nutrient that is deficient. It can be a deficiency in any of the nutrients it depends on for metabolism, or an overload of an enemy nutrient or seesaw nutrient. That’s why it’s so important to understand how nutrients are related.(See Dandhea Book I part III Chapter 7.7.b.1. or Motherhat III chapter d.7.b1)

Thus Vitamin D needs to be taken in the Vitamin D-cluster for optimal results Vitamin D Cluster: 1.Vitamin D through Sunlight, 2. Vitamin B5 for Co Enzyme A for cholesterol, 3. Calcium, 4. Magnesium, 5. Vitamin K1 and Lactobacillus Lactis for Vitamin K2, 6. Lysine 7. Phosphorus 8. Sulfur 9. Zinc 9.1 The Zinc Ionophores, 10. Boron

And Vitamin C-LAA in the Vitamin C cluster, 1. Vitamin C-LAA, 2. Sodium, 3. Iodine, 3.a. Selenium, 4. Potassium, 5. Iron, 6. Copper, 7. Vitamin B.9.Folate, 8.Vitamin B12, Cobalamin. 9. Vitamin B6, Pyridoxine,

All with organic foods, because what’s in supplements is usually not the real Vitamin, and often even sabotages the real Vitamin!

Find them all in Motherhat part III and Dandhea Book I, part III,, together with their food sources and the best preparation methods.

All B-Vitamins are made in the gut, but the only ones we hear about are the ones that are sabotaged by their phony synthetic evil twins that block them, or that are blocked by certain foods we eat a lot of.

While Vitamin B3, or niacin is a healthy way to control cholesterol, not from supplements, but from food sources. what is in supplements is fake niacin, niacinamide. That blocks real niacin, which is in Oatmeal, Sunflower seeds, Peanuts, Chia seeds, Bread, Mushrooms, Flax seeds, Brown rice, Pumpkin seeds, Beans and lentils, Avocado’s and Walnuts

Many extra-pulmonary symptoms of Covid-19 strikingly resemble those of pellagra, Vitamin B3 deficiency(e.g., diarrhea, dermatitis, oral cavity and tongue manifestations, loss of smell and taste, mental confusion).2

Covid-19 not only resembles Vitamin B12 deficiency, Covid 19 symptoms are also alleviated with Vitamin B12 containing foods.3 And yes, there are more than enough nutrients in organic food to heal us. That’s what we knew intuitively for ages, and it has been shown again and again through research, by Dr. William Li’s research well. 4

How do we get Vitamin B12 deficiency when our gut makes it? Because of the Folic Acid we get bombarded with as a food additive and as a supplement. Folic acid is not Folate, the real Vitamin B9 we make ourselves and which is found in natural foods, Folic acid is oil based, Folate is water based. And since Vitamin B12 is needed for Vitamin B9, Folate synthesis, if we have a constant supply of it, stored in our fat cells, which is where all the Folic Acid goes, Vitamin B12 is depleted, and we not only get Folate shortage, but Vitamin B12 shortage as well, with all the horrible symptoms that go along with that, symptoms that resemble Covid-19 and which disappear when Vitamin B12 is replenished. And we do not need animal products for anything. For every animal source, there is a superior plant source. Where do you think the animals get it from? You also don’t need animals for Vitamin B12. Kombucha and Seaweed have far more of it than any animal source.

It’s Folic Acid that Vitamin B12 should not be combined with. But since Folic Acid is in our fat cells all the time, just waiting to deplete us of Vitamin B12 and blocking Folate, there is no way to avoid taking Vitamin B12 combined with it if you have it in your system. So avoid it. Read the labels, It’s everywhere, and it’s toxic.

You do have to combine Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, with real Vitamin B9, Folate. And to top it off, the synthetic form of Vitamin B12, Cyanocobalamin, is not Vitamin B12 at all! It is connected to a cyanide molecule instead of to a Methyl molecule like the real Vitamin B12. Real Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, combined with real Vitamin B9, Folate, is necessary for making red blood cells, while cyanide blocks cellular respiration by binding to and inactivating hemoglobin! How cynical is that? Cyanocobalamin is another fake supplement to stay away from.

Here are some top Vitamin B12, Cobalamin food sources, like all lists in descending order: Kombucha, Chiorella, Nori seaweed and other seaweed as well, Shiitake mushrooms, Swiss cheese, Emmentaler, Brie, Oyster mushrooms, and also black trumpet mushrooms, Porcini mushrooms, parasol mushroom and black morels, Yogurt and Kefir.

Vitamin B9, Folate food sources are Chickpeas, Peanuts, Sunflower seeds, Cranberry Beans, Spinach, Lentils, Roman Beans, Broccoli, Raw, Pinto Beans, Asparagus, Lettuce, Kidney Beans, Avocado and Green Peas.

Notice how tasty many of the Vitamin B9 and Vitamin B12 sources are together? What should be eaten together also tastes good together.

And then you have the Avidin in raw eggs that destroys Vitamin B7, Biotin. Raw eggs are used in many recipe’s, also in mayonnaise. Vitamin B7 shortage makes you bald too.

Vitamin B7, Biotin is in Peanuts, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts, Almonds, white button mushrooms, Pecan nuts, sweet potatoes, Strawberries, Bread, Broccoli, Avocados and Tomatoes. If you want a negative Covid test, eat that!

And don’t believe that the uptake of non-heme iron from plants is too low. All you have to do is add some vinegar, lemon or seaweed for Phytase to counter phytic acid, and the uptake goes up from 8% to 88%! That also makes it much more tasty, Foods with iron are Thyme, sesame seeds. Cacao, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, Chia seeds, cashews, flax seeds and chick peas.

And please don’t believe the lie that you need to eat meat for sufficient iron. Non-heme iron from plants is superior to the heme-iron in meat, just as beta-carotene, which is in plants, is superior to Vitamin A, which is in eggs and meat. The body can store non- heme iron as long as it wants and use it when it needs it. Not so with heme-iron. The body can not store it, and it wreaks havoc when there is too much, which is fast.

All B Vitamins are heat stable, but they do leech into the water or fat you prepare them in, so consume whatever you boiled or fried them in. Not what you soaked them in. Water the pants with that, or use it as a pesticide. Lectins are not good for you, and is also why you should never under cook beans, and certainly not eat them raw.

Some B-Vitamins, like Vitamin B2, Riboflavin, are light sensitive, so store them in the dark. And some, like Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid, break down under alkaline circumstance, so adding baking soda to the water you cook them in is a very bad idea.

Iron is in a seesaw relationship with Zinc, meaning that high iron means low zinc and vice versa. Consequently high iron is linked to severe Covid, and like Calcium, causes Zinc deficiency.

Like all minerals, iron is practically indestructible, so it will not be destroyed by heat. Like all minerals, it does tend to leak into the oil or water it is heated in, another reason to consume that.

Next to Zinc deficiency, Calcium overload causes arterial plaque. It causes Iron and Magnesium to be blocked. It also causes Phosphorus deficiency, making the blood too acidic. For the consequences of that, look up Metabolic acidosis in chapter d.5.D.7. Phosphorus.

Magnesium is in Pumpkin Seeds, Raw Cacao, Roasted Cocoa, Almonds, Flax Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Cashew Nuts, Chia Seeds, Buckwheat, Pine Nuts, Bulgur, Hazelnuts, Walnuts, Pecan Nuts, Sunflower Seeds and Raw Spinach

Boron alleviates Vitamin D deficiency symptoms, Enhances calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and estrogen

Like Pepperine, Boron also enhances the effects of curcumin against SARS-CoV-25

Boron food sources are Raisins, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Apricots, Avocado’s, Prunes, Peanuts, Brazil nuts, Walnuts, Kidney beans, Cashews, Dates, Lentils, Chickpeas, Peaches and Celery

Phosphorus deficiency is linked to Covid mortality, Phosphorus is in pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese. Parmesan cheese, Romano Peccorino, Pimento, Shredded Parmesan cheese, hard goat cheese, Brazil nuts, Amaranth, Buckwheat, Lentils, Rice, Quinoa and Spelt.

Zinc is so central that many of the Covid-19. remedies are zinc ionophores, that help Zinc cross the cell membrane more easily.

Zinc is in Cocoa, Aloe Vera, Chickpeas, White Beans, Hemp Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Black Eyed Peas, Black Beans, Navy Beans, Green peas, Pine Nuts, Cashews, Chia Seeds, Pecan Nuts, Sunflower Seeds, Cooked Spinach, Lima Beans, Flax Seeds, Swiss Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, Almonds, Hazelnuts and Oatmeal

Zinc ionophores are: a. Quinine, b. Quercetin. c. Quinoline, d. EGCG and e. Hesperidin

Quinine food sources are Grapefruit and Walnuts.

Quercetin food sources are Capers, Elderberries. Dille, Aloe Vera, Cilantro, Onions, Cranberries, Red Lettuce, Red Onions, Asparagus, Kale, Red Bell Peppers, Romaine Lettuce, Green Bell Peppers, Lingonberries and Cocoa.

Quinoline food sources are tea, cocoa and cocoa products, herbs and spices.

Hesperidin food sources are blood oranges, clementines, sweet oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, grapefruits, Aloe vera and cocoa.

EGCG: is enhanced by Curcumin, which is in Turmeric. And black pepper enhances the uptake of curcumin with 2000%.

So if you eat zinc, combine it with one of them, like EGCG in green tea, or Quinoline in any tea or herb. EGCG is strengthened by curcumin, and curcumin is strengthened by pepper. And if you eat y your oatmeal with some milk kefir and orange and you drink the Monday blend from the herb rotation schedule, you have zinc from the oatmeal, and pepper, EGCG, Quinoline, and turmeric and pepper from the tea.

And do that with every snack and meal. Make the smart, nutrient uptake enhancing combinations, as are also shown in the Dandhea recipe’s. Be the perfect caretaker for your body, create the perfect place inside and on your skin, and in your mouth for your microbiome, be a wonderful host to them. They work hard for you, put in some effort for them.

And no, the Tannins in tea don’t obstruct iron uptake. Research done in 2017 found that, so we can go ahead and have tea with, after or before our meals! See Chapter d.6.C.5.

Eat vitamins in their clusters:

Watch out for Zinc overload as well, since that causes Iron deficiency.

But Iron deficiency can also be caused by Copper deficiency, since next to Vitamin C-LAA, Iron needs Copper to metabolize in our bodies. Familiarize yourself with the relationships between nutrients so you know where to look if a shortage shows up.

Copper food sources are: Dried Shiitake mushrooms, Sesame Seeds, Cashew Nuts, Grape leaf, Sunflower Seeds, Hazelnuts, Brazil Nuts, Hemp Seeds Walnuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Pine Nuts, Pistachio’s, Flax Seeds, Cat’s ear, (False Dandelion, Hypochaeris radicata) Buckwheat,

So Iron also needs Vitamin C-LAA to be metabolized, as does Folate, and remember, Vitamin C-LAA needs sodium to be metabolized.

That means that whoever gets put on a salt free diet misses out out Vitamin C-LAA Folate and Iron as well! A sure death sentence!

Another reason salt is a good ally in the fight against Covid-19 is because it forms chlorine dioxide, which fights viruses, also Covid, and that raised sodium levels are associated with better survival chances in Covid infection.

The main Sodium food source is salt of course. Himalayan salt is the best choice, since it has all the other minerals as well,

But sodium is also in green pickled, Olives, Camembert black Olives Brie cheese Cottage cheese Emmentaler cheese Celery, raw Beets, raw Carrots, raw Broccoli. raw Peanuts,

Sodium has to be balanced with potassium in a1-2:1 balance., otherwise your blood pressure gets too high. Lowering blood pressure should be done with potassium and Omega-3-ALA, not with going salt free. That’s like cutting your hand off because you have a splinter in your finger. It defeats the purpose. Excessive water drinking, and that is anything that goes so far beyond quenching thirst it makes you gag, is bad for your potassium levels as well. Drink to thirst and desire, eat to taste. It makes you happier too.

Potassium food sources are: Sun Dried Tomatoes, Tomatoes, sun-dried, packed in oil, drained, Cocoa Powder, Potato Chips, Beet Greens, Raisins, Prunes, Peanuts, Figs, Baked Yams, Dates, French Fries, Adzuki beans, Sweet Potato greens and Lima Beans.

Beta-carotene is in Sweet Potatoes (not to be confused with Yams, that have less beta-carotene), Carrots, Kale, Spinach, Pumpkin, Butternut Squash, Tomatoes,, Oranges, Cantaloupe, Aloe Vera, Red Bell peppers, Apricots, Mango, Dandelions Broccoli, Peas, Squash, Yams, Garlic Mustard and Pumpkin seeds

And don’t confuse Beta-carotene with Vitamin A. Unlike Vitamin A, you can never get a Beta-carotene overload, since it can be stored. Vitamin A cannot, and causes havoc in the body when there is too much.

And also don’t confuse Beta-Carotene from food, which is beneficial, with Beta-carotene from supplements, which is not. That’s because Beta-carotene from food has cis Beta-carotene, while supplements only have trans Beta-carotene.

Beta-carotene increases with stir frying. See if the loss of Vitamin C is worth it. Beta-carotene is sensitive to heat but significant losses only occur after long periods of boiling. While stir-frying in the presence of a small quantity of oil leads to an enormous increase in the bioaccessibility of beta-carotene from vegetables, the increase being 263% (fenugreek leaves), 192% (amaranth leaves), 63% (carrot) and 53% (pumpkin), it decreases Vitamin C-LAA, The highest destruction of ascorbic acid or Vitamin C-LAA occurs at temperatures between 85 and 95°C, especially after 10 minutes of cooking time.

All these nutrients each have their own anti-Covid properties of course.

See how often the same foods come back? Most foods have more than one Covid-fighting nutrient in them. That’s why it’s a lot less hard to get to the promised more than 50 Covid fighting nutrients than it seems, especially if you include all the herbs and teas.

And those were all that healers of old used, with amazing results, even without the scientific knowledge we have now.

But it’s not the science that is followed. It is policies that have nothing to do with our well being.

Thus meat is still seen as the norm, while plant based foods take part in a symphony of life that makes us feel vibrant, like integrity, truth and beauty. That makes them far better than meat based ones, that often sit like dead weight in us, unresponsive and disturbing, like lies and deceit. But you have to know which plant based foods to eat in which balance, how to prepare them and how to combine them. That’s what you can find here.

Besides that, animal products often only have the nutrients in them that the animals got to eat, which is why cheese is not always a K2 source, it only is if the animals got fed K1, and yet in food lists it will be pretended if it’s always in there.

As a rule parent forms of nutrients are good, but derivatives are toxic, which seems strange because the body makes them itself. But the body makes them when and where it needs them and uses them immediately. It has no place to store the derivatives and they become a burden to it if there is an excess.

Vitamin E is another Vitamin the shortage of which has been associated with Covid-19, and which has a phony form in supplements that does not only not work, but that blocks real Vitamin E. Vitamin E octo is naturally occurring vitamin E exists in eight chemical forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol and alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol) that have varying levels of biological activity. Vitamin E mono synthetic Vitamin E consisting only of alpha tocopherol and blocking real Vitamin E

Vitamin E is heat stable but light sensitive, so store in the dark or in opaque packaging.

Vitamin E food sources are wheat germ oil, Hazelnut oil, Sunflower seeds, Almonds, Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Olive oil, Pine nuts, Peanuts, Brazil nuts, Avocados and raw spinach.

Selenium heals cancer and Covid, but too much makes you go bald. Selenium food sources are Brazil nuts, roasted sunflower seeds, chia seeds, raw sunflower seeds, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, mustard, roasted sesame seeds, freeze dried parsley, Kamut, couscous and flax seeds.

Other Covid fighting nutrients are the sulfur holding ones, which are sulfur itself in Himalaya salt,

Salt is a mineral, and thus heat stable.

Organosulfur, is in vegetables in the Allium and Brassica (Cruciferous) genus, i.e., onion, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc

Organosulfur Compounds in onion increase by 34.2-568.0% during frying, steaming and microwaving, whereas Organosulfur Compounds decrease by 32.6-69.4% during boiling.

Glucosinolates, which are found in cruciferous vegetables like Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Collard Greens, Kale, Capers, Turnips, Radishes, Daikon, Mustard, Watercress, Horse Radish, Wasabi.

All heat reduces the amount of Glucosinolates, so the best way to eat them is raw.

Sulforaphane, which is in Broccoli sprouts, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Kale, Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, both red and white varieties, Bok choy, Watercress, Arugula, also known as rocket.

Sulforaphane is unstable to heat. Sulforaphane appears as a stable compound when being exposed to light and in acidic condition with pH at 3.0.

MSM sulfur is a Covid fighter because of its role in making glutathione. It is in Tomatoes, Alfalfa sprouts, leafy green vegetables, Apples, Raspberries and whole grains.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) sulfur is relatively inert chemically and is able to resist decomposition at elevated temperatures.

Methionine, of which the food sources are Nuts, Beans, Lentils, wheat germ, Spirulina, Milk Kefir and Cottage Cheese,

Methionine is heat stable.

Methionine is 86% decomposed after 24 h at 180 degrees C.

Taurine is another sulfur containing nutrient. Its Covid fighting abilities are being researched. It can be found in Almonds, Cashew Nuts, Hazelnuts, Pine Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds and Dulse.

Taurine is not destroyed by cooking. However, taurine is water-soluble. Therefore, during any type of processing (including cooking) some taurine can be lost in the water. If the Taurine is cooked in water (boiled or steamed), it will lose more taurine than if it were baked.

Cysteine and glycine help with detoxing and freeing up testosterone receptors.

L-Cysteine is in Sunflower seeds, Swiss Cheese, Lentils, Oats, Kefir, Cottage Cheese, Yogurt, Carrots and Couscous.

Glycine food sources are Pumpkin seeds, Hemp seeds, Peanuts, Sunflower seeds, Flax seeds, Sesame seeds, Pistachio nuts, Oats, Walnuts, Quinoa, Hard cheese, Almonds, Pasta, Bread, White beans/Navy beans and Split Peas.

Amino acid analyses of the heated samples showed that most of the amino acids, like L-Cysteine, are stable up to 120 degrees C. Initially, at higher temperatures, an almost rectilinear decrease takes place which reaches a critical stage at 160 degrees C.

Lysine is stable during heat treatment. The content of lysine was only 3.3% lower even heated at 100 °C for 36 hours.

Proteins and amino acids are not heat sensitive, but like minerals and vitamins, do leek into the fluids they were prepared them so always consume those!

In studies Iodine was shown to clear Corona virus. Iodine food sources are: Kombu kelp, Wakame, Nori, Iodized Salt, Greek Yogurt, Cheddar Cheese and Milk Kefir.

Iodine is a mineral, so it’s heat stable.

Selenium enables Iodine.

Selenium heals cancer and Covid, but too much makes you go bald. Selenium food sources are Brazil nuts, roasted sunflower seeds, chia seeds, raw sunflower seeds, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, mustard, roasted sesame seeds, freeze dried parsley, Kamut, couscous and flax seeds.

Each nutrient deficiency and overload has its symptoms, which you can learn to recognize and solve within minutes instead of the fruitless agony the medical system seems to enjoy putting us through. Not all those in it, and probably out of ignorance. But a surprising number of doctors know much more than they can let on. Often they wait until they win Nobel prizes before they say how they really feel. Listen to those acceptance speeches, you’ll hear them say the same things as are written here. But who listens to Nobel lectures, right? I encourage you to do so. They are very entertaining and enlightening, and referencing those will add weight to your arguments for a tyranny free health care system.

“T”

The last “T” in Motherhat is for Timing, Combining, Preparing and Planning.

Besides which nutrients you take, when you take them and how you prepare them is important for getting optimal benefits from the nutrients.

When cooking rice or beans, or anything for that matter, please don’t throw out the water you boiled it in. That’s where much of the vitamins leak into, so make a nice soup or sauce from that! Often it’s already very tasty and you don’t have to add anything, since you already added salt for cooking.

You can’t overcook your beans. The Vitamins will just leech out in the cooking water. So use that for soups and sauces. Don’t add vinegar or baking soda to the water when you are cooking vegetables. Acidity or alkalinity combined with heat destroys Vitamin B5, Pentathenic Acid. Cooking in salt does not destroy the B- Vitamins. You can’t over cook beans. You can under cook them though. That’s what causes windiness. So always double check if the beans are really done before taking them off the stove. They should be completely soft.

I use the 2-4-8 proportions to decide how much water and salt I should add to beans, which have soaked for 24 hours. After throwing the soak water in the plants and rinsing t 2 half cups of beans, I put them in a pan with 8 half cups of filtered water with 4 teaspoons of Himalayan salt and cook the beans until they are completely soft. The water I cooked them in is perfect as soup. I don’t have to add anything, it tastes wonderful just as it is.

Prepare and plan your days to eat healthy meals and snacks, use the Dandhea 3 Day Dinner Cycle described in chapter d.7.d. for the most nutrients, with the least trouble and waste.

Realize that when you are combining Himalayan salt, Vinegar and Olive oil, a traditional combination for salad dressing you are doing a Revici, who cured cancer with sulfur and Omega-6-LA. And with the Omega-6-LA in the olive oil, all the wonderful nutrients in your salad are carried to where they are needed most, namely to lesions in cell membranes, the only place with free fatty acids, that pulls the Omega-6-LA with any healing nutrient it carries in like a magnet.

Realize that when you are drinking tea with your oatmeal, you are combining zinc with the most powerful of zinc ionophores, Quinoline, in tea., doing a Treben, who healed given up cancer patients within a week just with tea. And if you add Flax seed to your muesli with oatmeal and some salt you are doing a Johanna Budwig as well, who cured cancer combining Omega-3-ALA with Sulfur to cure cancer. You are doing the treatment she used to cure cancer patients that were given up by the medical establishment within a week, just as Maria Treben did, as a daily routine by just eating a tasty breakfast in the morning and a nice salad with lunch or dinner in the afternoon or evening as a snack. Nothing could be more normal and noninvasive. And combining the Ramisse herbs with some organic extra virgin olive oil for a targeted Covid response if you have symptoms is creating a powerhouse of herbs to bombard any virus with.

That’s the nice thing about knowledge. You can’t be tricked into depressing diets and tone deaf therapies anymore, because you know they’re fake, and that thanks to how our microbiomes work, what’s healthy is tasty to us and makes us happy, thus stimulating the happiness proteins that are also so important for immunity. Any treatment that ignores that fact is probably not really meant to heal you. Same goes for any treatment that harms your microbiome.

Let’s practice our right to Health oriented, Evidence based. Science backed and Practice confirmed ways of preventing and healing disease instead of the Profit oriented, Fluff based, Finance backed, Deceitfully pushed mess we are in now, so that healing through toxin free, natural. diet and care becomes a welcome norm instead of a frowned upon exception, and toxin free, natural healing becomes as abundant and normal, as delightful and delicious as dandelions in springtime!
