How would you know it was a bacteria and which one, though, that's the question.. A lot of blood markers tend to be non-specific, e.g. the acute phase reactants rise for a number of reasons. It seems Peat was for antibiotics and reducing bacterial numbers down... So the way I see it using a stool test from one of the few good labs gives you a lay of the land and then you'll know what protocol to use. Parasites need longer protocols for example, due to their lifecycles.Funny how Dr Peat never talked about stool tests. I wonder why a bacteria which sufficiently problematic would not show up in a blood test?
Also we have herbs that can do the job just as well as drugs, without many side-effects and the potential for yeast overgrowth (as many herbs are anti-bacterial/fungal/parasitic)... So the man was a genius, but that doesn't mean that by standing on his shoulders we can't do some things in a better/safer or at least different way (i.e. with lab tests and supplements/herbs that he didn't approve of or endorse)... There are many ways to the top of the mountain... Not everyone needs to do a stool test, but if you're suffering for months or years and all the trial and error isn't making a dent, it may be time to stop guessing and start testing.
