I just want to add or ask...

Is our diet too restrictive and hence reducing the variety of species in our gut and hence reducing the robustness and tolerance of our immune system?

Could we be in a state like a new born baby that needs to sample the world to teach its gut and immune system what is good and bad?

All that being said I recall something being said about babies having stem cells that allow them to build that robustness in their immune system. As adults have we lost that stem cell ability to relearn that robustness?

Evidence shows that fasting triggers stem cells in the pancreas to produce new cells that can produce the enzymes to digest sugars. Can fasting do the same for neurological, immunological and other cells related to the gut?

Are there people out there that have found that monthly fasting increases their starch and food tolerances? Are there people out there that never miss a meal and seem to be not improving?

If you have answers to these questions then perhaps new subject threads would be best.

Thanks
Kevin
