As recent studies have placed nearly 75% of Americans as unhealthy or obese it’s hard to not see the link between big food big pharma and the big medical establishment. It’s critical we start seeking alternative clean foods. I really look forward to RFK Jr.’s attempt to straighten this crooked merging of these three trillions of dollar industries. At the same time I am concerned for his safety.

I also am so happy RFK, Jr. is going to “wake America up” to this horrendous & serious situation in the food manufacturing & grown wheat, vegetables, & possibly fruits. I know Big Farming won’t be happy with RFK, Jr., & pray he will be safe in his journey to help families make better decisions for their children & processed foods!
I believe eating fermented foods has been helping me on my journey since I had intestinal surgery this past May- I lost a portion of my upper intestines due to “holes in specific areas” of my intestines. ER doctor told me I have Diverticulosis, which I believe pouches burst, causing a disaster in my gut/stomach, etc. I don’t know what caused the holes in my intestins’- but, I’m sure part was my diet, & the other possible cause could have been antibiotics taken for different infections. So, I’m working on a healthier menu of clean foods, & rebuilding my inner Biome !
You might look for a probiotic that includes L. reuteri. I take a probiotic to maintain health, and always now make sure it includes L reuteri in the mix.
Thank you for the information regarding gut biome- I apologize for the late reply. I will definitely continue the research, & definitely read the data in these links you provided!
The largest consumers of antibiotics are factory farms. A primary function is to keep them alive through horrid living conditions, but it also fattens up the animals faster. Exactly as you mention, antibiotics disrupt the normal digestion process.
I would assume it has a similar impact on humans. And humans may also get some second hand antibiotics from the factory farmed animals they eat.
James, I want RFK to know that WE can help. Here’s how: he, as head of the HHS writes letter(s) to us. Every American gets a letter addressing the food poisoning of the moment (say food dyes). He explains the risks, provides the proof, and lists examples ( Fruit Loops, Gummy Bears, Doritos etc). Then he encourages us, average Joe Citizen, to share this with our grocer or wherever we shop and if we have school children, with the school lunch manager. Our request is that they either pressure the mfg to remove that poison OR find an alternative supplier that has products that don’t contain those ingredients . This is a bottom up approach to changing an establishment that will almost certainly fight back. There has to be top down regulations, admittedly, but a bottom up, consumer driven demand will reduce the inevitable friction this earth shattering change in the status quo is going to cause. Most of us live in small enough communities (even within cities) where we KNOW our grocer, we know some of our farmers, they are neighbors. Imagine getting hundreds of these letters from your customers. It would be a powerful motivation to move away from damaging food and toward a healthier substitute. And where money goes, so go producers.
I no longer buy anything from my big box store. Even the fresh produce and meats are contaminated. It would be very very good to see that change. How long would it take. One growing season. That’s it. By next summer we could be glyphosate free, dye free, mRNA free, and so much more!

It will be a up hill battle! Trillions of dollars in revenue are at stake!

Vote with your $. Awareness is key and going back to sound money.

Staying away from processed foods I mean!
Yes to concerned about his safety. We aready know the Secret Service is corrupted.
I've been wondering for a while whether the obesity epidemic was brought by the widespread use of antibiotics after 1950.
Antibiotics disrupt the microbiome, causing dysbiosis. Could a lifetime of gut dysbiosis cause obesity? Has anyone looked into this?

Inflammation is a likely culprit, Patricia. Apparently lactobacillus reuteri decreases intestinal inflammation and helps repair gut mucosa.

Good hunting, Patricia. :-)

Agreed! Meanwhile, Americans can clean up their diet themselves!
Same here! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
