Think bigger than the actual diet

I understand that folks have become leery of miracle diets, but this isn't about the type of foods you eat as much as WHAT IS ON THEM. This is about microorganisms. Do a little research. We evolved to subcontract much of our immune function to microorganisms. With the overuse of antibiotics and excessive cleaning, we have sent autoimmune diseases through the roof. Look at the most current research; it's all about treating MS with pig whipworms, treating C. diff infections with fecal implants. We have to maintain a balance of health microorganisms in our guts, and that is what micro- or macrobiotic diets, or vegan diets do for us. Fatty foods favor one kind of microorganism, and not the one you want dominating your immune function. So, look past the idea of the diet and at the big picture of what the change promotes in terms of balance. Also, go pet some farm animals and DONT wash your hands after!
