tara said:I think he has said this about yeasts/fungi, not bacteria. (Garlic is antifungal as well as antibacterial.) He does suggest reducing or eliminating starches when people have bad bacteria - this is about reducing food for them to diminish their numbers.narouz said:-Peat doesn't like the "starve 'em out" strategy with intestinal bacteria.
He says that is when they are more dangerous,
needing to find food by burrowing in (and even through) the stomach lining.
Pretty much agree with what you said above, tara.
In the two interviews on Endotoxin--
one on KMUD,
one on East/West,
it did seem to me that Peat was talking about endotoxin generally,
when he discussed the wrong-headedness of trying to starve bacteria (or maybe fungi),
thus making some more dangerous by forcing them to burrow into the stomach lining for food.
Take h.pylori bacteria for example.
I realized when I saw a photo on one
that it looks very much like the evil critters
attacking the good guys' "space-ship" (or whatever it was) in The Matrix.
