Although we think of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) as being predominantly an infection, this fascinating study shows that over 50% of those with a low thyroid have SIBO as well (vs. 5% of those with normal thyroid function).

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) - An Easily Addressable Cause of Spastic Colon and Bowel Symptoms in CFS and Fibromyalgia

BY:
Published: September 7, 2012
Categories:

e 1-10 trillion bacteria that live in our colon serve a vital function and are considered by some to be the largest organ in the body by weight. The healthy bacteria (e.g. acidophilus) are critical for normal functioning in the bowel and for preventing the overgrowth of unhealthy yeast, parasites, or dangerous bacteria. The bacteria are supposed to be in the colon (large intestine). When they overgrow in the small intestine, it is called "Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)"—which can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. SIBO may also contribute to food allergies and nutritional deficiencies. SIBO is very common in CFS and Fibromyalgia, easy to test for, and responds well to proper therapy.

Antibacterial Chemical Disrupts Hormone Activities, Study Finds

BY:
Published: August 29, 2012
Categories:

A new UC Davis study shows that a common antibacterial chemical added to bath soaps can alter hormonal activity in rats and in human cells in the laboratory. The findings come as an increasing number of studies -- of both lab animals and humans -- are revealing that some synthetic chemicals in household products can cause health problems by interfering with normal hormone action. Called endocrine disruptors, or endocrine disrupting substances (EDS), such chemicals have been linked in animal studies to a variety of problems, including cancer, reproductive failure and developmental anomalies. This is the first endocrine study to investigate the hormone effects of the antibacterial compound triclocarban (also known as TCC or 3,4,4-trichlorocarbanilide), which is widely used in household and personal care products including bar soaps, body washes, cleansing lotions, wipes and detergents. Triclocarban-containing products have been marketed broadly in the United States and Europe for more than 45 years; an estimated 1 million pounds of triclocarban are imported annually for the U.S. market.

Oddly enough, for those with severe lack of stomach/bowel function (Gastroparesis) where food just sits without moving forward, Ritalin and Dexedrine can help. In severe cases (some have their colon surgically removed), this can actually be a reasonable and helpful option.

Question: I just feel so badly and I feel there is no reason to continue to live. I am 71 yrs. old, have been disabled since birth, doctors predicted I would not live beyond 20 years old. I surely fooled him. I always accepted my disability, even worked for 11 1/2 years. In 1983 I had pulmonary arrest and ended up with a tracheotomy and on a respirator 24/7, and I'm still on the respirator 24/7.
