It's not that funny. I’m glad this works for you but please do not use it as an excuse to try to discredit decades of research and experimentation by Dr. Peat. Also point me to where Dr Peat talks about total sterilization of the small intestine. Lowering endotoxins is not the same as total sterilization. You have an issue with Dr Peat drinking coke because it’s “processed, & acidic.” I guess tequila is not very acidic nor is it processed?Haha, yeah. Was raw vegan for a few months which lead up to a 3 week fast on mostly grapes & oranges, a handful of bananas, black walnut hulls in the morning, pumpkin seeds in the midday, and tequila + pineapple juice (the latter 3 are said to be anti-parasitic) in the evening while also taking the combined equivalent of 30 capsules of roots, leaves, and barks 3 times a day through herbal tinctures, pills, and as teas prepared from bulk bags.
Within 10 days I was able to kick some worms that were inhibiting some digestion/causing bloating and skin itchiness, but the final fungal fix wasn't until fasting on milk with 2 water enemas per day for a few weeks until running into symptoms of zinc deficiency. I also caused several cavities to pop up or worsen along with added tooth sensitivity during this time due to the nature of fruit and herbs kicking metals out through the saliva & gumline.
I never used any pharmaceutical grade antibiotics though, besides a handful of tries with methylene blue (and aspirin I guess I could add) to no positive outcome.
I even once used a vast combination of those same herbs mentioned above in the form of an enema, which basically gave me a huge lymphatic push but worsened food sensitivities greatly for many months afterwards. There's no shot that I'd put anything synthetic in the colon.
In any case, after eating conventional raw chicken left in a hot car for 10 days, fermented beef liver aged 3 weeks, raw milk kept in tepid water for 3 weeks, and eggs kept in hot conditions for 3 weeks just to find out that they digest better because of the added bacteria tells me that (total) sterilization of the small intestine is surely not the answer.
