Brain inflammation initiates seizures
Keith, it is obvious that you like posting lots of links to give the appearance of lots of evidence but these are either totally irrelevant or notorious conspiracy site. I do notice that you never quote from your links, you just put up links that if anybody were to check would realise have no relevance or validity.
Seizures caused by inflammation of the brain is nothing new nor does it make any reference to an association with the gut. Why is this first link even relevant?
What's becoming known is that an inflammatory leaky gut is a cause of leaky brain leading to brain inflammation.
Um.... no
Of the large list in the middle:
Link 1 is a newspaper report that says it's being
researched It makes no mention of any validity being shown yet.
The 2nd through 7th links are all about inflammation and its various causes. Not one mention of leaky gut syndrom
Yaaay, finally the 8th link mentions leaky gut syndrome. It is however a scam site that offers "courses" yet no mention of who teaches them, what their qualifications are or any of the normal things I'd expect from a respectable school. For someone so suspicious of conspiracies I'm surprised it didn't occur to you that maybe these people are just doing it for the money.
Links 9 & 10 are about inflammation again and the blood brain barrier.
Link 11 is a website where anybody can contribute.
It's the same site that You contribute to yourself Keith. Anonymously contributing to this site, even if you claim to be a doctor really has no value. Show me a medical journal please.
Links 12 & 13 are book reviews that say
Results & Conclusions The strongest evidence for a role of microbes as signaling components in the gut-brain axis currently arises from animal studies
That means that there is nothing definite yet & the best they have doesn't even apply to humans.
Link 14 says that they don't know what the supposed gut/brain connection does
FGIDs comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders, with unclear underlying pathophysiology.
Link 15 is inaccessible because you have to pay to see it. It does mention some link but it doesn't say what that link is. The link could be that the brain produces something similar to what is produced in the gut.
Link 16 goes to gastroenterology magazine. Medical journals are rated by their Impact factor. For example,
The World Journal of Gastroenterology has an impact factor of 2,547. The Hepatology Journal has an impact factor of 12,003. The journal you're using has an impact factor of
12.821
I don't think any publication with such a low impact factor should be used to try to prove anything.
Link 17 is to a naturopaths homepage. To say that someones homepage is proof of something when the goal of the website is to get you to visit their clinic is ridiculous. Never mind how naturopathy has no
scientific basis
Number 18 is a journal with an impact factor of 5.45. Not very reliable.
Bifidobacteria in the gut affect the brain via vagal pathways:
Again the last link talks about rodents & how they are effected. I've told you before, that makes it very, very preliminary. Even they say more research needs to be done.
The identity of nerves affected by the probiotic needs further study.
That means they haven't reached a conclusion yet.
