The use of vagus nerve stimulation, high concentrations of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, and extra virgin olive oil have been shown in animal models to cause primed M1-microglia to shift their behavior into an anti-inflammatory, tissue-repairing M2-microglia. These will need to be continued long term until other methods of eliminating primed microglia are found.
Yes. Nordic Naturals Pro Omega has the identical amount of omega-3 fatty acids as does Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega. Approved products for The Nemechek Protocol including the book and other items can be purchased here at a 10% discount.
Bacterial organisms that are ingested or added to foods with the purpose of improving health.
I disagree with the many “health experts” who recommend probiotics for children and adults to improve their gut health. While the concept of simply adding in some “good bacteria” is alluring, the formal medical science regarding gut health does not strongly support the use of probiotics. They may dampen some intestinal symptoms but do not resolve the bacterial overgrowth enough to lower inflammation and improve neurological recovery.
I strongly advise against using probiotics in combination with inulin or rifaximin. It usually limits recovery and may actually worsen their clinical status.
There is no need to wait between stopping probiotics and starting inulin or rifaximin.
No. There is no evidence that taking probiotics during or after a course of antibiotics. There is even some evidence that the gut biome might be damaged more when taken in this fashion.nAt present, I do not recommend probiotics under any condition.
I believe any form of probiotic (spore or otherwise) can cause problems when attempting to reverse bacterial overgrowth with inulin or rifaximin.
The most common way to re-trigger regression is to add a probiotic while using inulin or after treatment with rifaximin. After bacterial overgrowth has been stabilized, I counsel my patients to avoid probiotics indefinitely.
