My conclusion after years of researching this as someone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 24 is it's all about gut barrier integrity (and thereafter other barriers like the blood-brain barrier).
The reason we're seeing people with chronic disease earlier and earlier is that the newer generations have grown up with deficiencies and toxins (such as seed oils), going back to the womb.
One of the references I often give and is downvoted both here and on Reddit is a clinic in Hungary called "Paleomedicina" (already with "paleo" in the name some reach for the downvote). It's unfortunate as they are doing amazing work with incredible success for all these "incurable" diseases.
- xvedejas 5y agoSeed oils are toxins? Maybe I'm living under a rock by being perplexed by this, but you'll have to explain further.
- lambdaba 5y agoCheck out the work of Dr. Cate Shanahan. Many interviews on YouTube. In short it's to do mainly with the linoleic acid (omega-6) content of those oils, these fats are highly unstable / subjected to oxidation. When they get integrated in our own body fat it wreaks havoc. Can't burn fat / inflamed / chronically hungry / tired etc. I don't have a reference but I read a study showing how the fatty acid profile in people's body fat has gradually shifted to more and more polyunsaturated fat. This is not normal and as Dr. Shanahan explains, the integration of seed oil fats in human body fat is unprecedented and a massive experiment for which we're seeing the results for some decades now, but are slow to realize.
- xvedejas 5y agoIs "toxin" the right word for this? What you've described sounds bad, but not literally toxic in the way botulinum is.
