Yeah when I first came across the Marshall protocol, I was intrigued at first, but at the same time it seemed way too dangerous of a protocol to try for something that's unproven and goes against a lot of current recommendations. Did Blainey seem to have his head on straight? Sometime it's easier to tell in person than online?

WOW, just watching this video from Larry Smarr is AWESOME. At around the 44 minute mark he goes into the detail of his microbiome vs a healthy one (he has IBD). The difference is huge, would love to see if this meshes with what's coming out of uBiome and American Gut project. Cause everything I've seen out of them is relatively small differences. His gut has severe dysbiosis.

I feel like it somewhat contradicts the info that Steven Abramson presented in the Microbiome and Autoimmunity video. While Abramson suggested dysbosis and altered gut microbiome present in AI, not anywhere near the dysbosis Smarr shows evidence of in his video. I can't help but wonder if there's some difference in collection and analysis techniques that would lead to varied results.

Playing poker for the living sounds like the most stressful thing in the world! Wouldn't be surprised if that didn't help, but as with everything who can say for sure. I'm working on mobile games at the moment http://lvl6.com

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, rest assured I don't. It's only cause I'm decent bsing my way through things. It got me through college (while I left with one semester left to come out to California, but it got me through 3 and a half years), but I don't know how helpful it'll be in understanding this disease though.

I'd say pains been pretty consistent from before adding potato starch to current levels.
