Healthy Gut – Healthy Brain

[lyndsaylee]

Has anyone read Dr. Mercola’s newsletter today? I read the last Road Back post about Mercola yesterday (pots and pans) and I understand some of your sentiments about his motive. However, I was wondering what you all think of his theory on this topic. Here’s the website: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/04/12/beware–bacteria-growing-in-your-gut-can-influence-your-behavior.aspx

Hi LyndsayLee,

Thanks for posting the article which was interesting. Have no doubts whatsoever that gut health has a good deal to do with whole mind/body health. With 70% of immune function said to reside in the gut, it’s no wonder that everything in the body can be affected.

Thought you and perhaps others here might also be interested in reading the following article, “Bell’s Palsy of the Gut,” authored by Dr. V. S. who is a Lyme Literate MD:

Also, an article on Leaky Gut by Dr. L. G., an AP doc in NY:
