Who Should Read What

Here is a synopsis of this wiki.

Basically there are three layers of information shared in this wiki that many different cohorts should find useful.

WHAT

Everyone should understand the concept of The Great Assumption and understand the need to ask The Great Question whether they ask their doctor or not. That is an easy assignment and only takes a few minutes to read.

The Microbiome Stewardship section has useful information for anyone that owns a microbiome (that is everyone) and wants a basic common sense understanding of how to operate it in a healthy manner. No science background needed, just common sense. It includes:

• What it is
• How to operate and maintain a healthy microbiome
• How to monitor the populations and diversity of the wildlife inhabiting your microbiome
• How to provide a nourishing and healthy environment for a diverse flora
• The state of the human microbiome in conventional medicine

The Frontline section is a report from the trenches at the frontline of the battle I personally call The Great Inflammation. It has detailed information about what happens when a failure of The Great Assumption occurs, how to recognize it and how to dig yourself out.

Also, the Resources section has information about various topics including nutrition and supplements that nourish the host (you and me) as well as our microbiome. This is especially important while maintaining a low oxalate and / or a low amine diet.

For a better understanding of the drivers behind it, please read the pages in the About section.

WHO

Parents

My guess is if anybody picks up The Great Question and runs with it, it will be parents and especially mothers. They are the most likely to think it and actually have the nerve and motivation to ask it and challenge a doctor about The Great Assumption. And the least likely to be satisfied with a lame response.

Caretakers of elderly

Especially children that care for aging / elderly parents. A healthy microbiome is so critical to good mental and physical health but also prone to damage in a normal life. Damage that is compounded by years of lack of maintenance and further damaged by prescriptive drugs.

Covid long haulers

Sone of the symptoms described by long haulers like headaches, fatigue, brain fog, muscle and / or joint pain can be linked to microbiome dysbiosis. Whether disease or medicine induced, I suspect at least some of them would find that eating a low oxalate and low histamine diet would improve their condition.

You aren't crazy! Doctors view the world through the FDA playbook and unfortunately recognizing headaches, fatigue, brain fog, muscle and / or joint pain as real things isn't in it.

Migraine sufferers

There are probiotic microbes that are effective in reducing histamine and tyramine in the gut which trigger migraines. And there are probiotics that produce histamine and tyramine.

The same logic used to treat migraines may be effective for people that have high blood pressure. Also allergy sufferers.

Anyone suffering from headaches, fatigue, brain fog, muscle and / or joint pain

I suspect that while headaches, fatigue, brain fog, muscle and / or joint pain would be the primary complaint for some, these symptoms of microbiome dysbiosis are indicators of MTMDTI triggered by medicines prescribed for other illnesses.

Anyone trying to cut medical costs

Patients, health plan administrators, insurance companies.
