RA and bacteria article in Chicago Trib

[bonnielou]

There was an article in this week’s Tribune on RA that considers the possible role of bacteria. It is looking mostly at gut bacteria, but it’s a start. It quotes Seamus Mullen, the chef, and says

Mullen said he followed a strict yearlong protocol, one that involved more exercise, more rest and the elimination of refined sugars and grains. He ate more fermented foods, which are naturally high in probiotics, took supplements and low-level antibiotics and avoided meat and poultry unless they came from grass-fed animals. Mullen also used acupuncture and diligently monitored how he was feeling.

I wonder what his antibiotic regimen was. You can read the article here:
