I agree with you <span class=”atwho-inserted” contenteditable=”false” data-atwho-at-query=”@Zack”>@Zack-Vegas </span>that the concept of a sterile gut is a controversial one in terms of mainstream medicines as well as alternative medicines approach to this topic.
As of late Dr Mercola has come to a viewpoint that I think may be from some of Dr Peat’s work. Again involving a balance of micro biome bacteria but on the viewpoint that gram negative bacteria oxygenate the bowel whereas gram positive bacteria produce carbon dioxide.
Dr Mercola surmises that it is the oxygenation that allows for endotoxin to enter the bloodstream breaking through the gut wall barrier, whereas CO2 prevents this from occurring.
This reminded me of the CO2 levels being higher at higher levels above sea level and the lower amounts of chronic disease seen in the populations living at this altitude. I think the hypothesis may have merit given oxygens known toxicity seen in the COVID-19 intubation response protocol. This lead to bacterial pneumonia and then eventually death from sepsis.
Given that this balance can be easily disrupted perhaps the sterile gut is the best approach, but I am unsure how one would be able to maintain it without a complete reliance upon pharmaceutical antibiotics.
