Who Should Read What

The menu on the left goes from a macro view that explains the concept of The Great Assumption to a micro view that has information I believe will be especially useful for people suffering from chronic brain fog, muscular pain and joint pain.

WHAT

Everyone on the planet should understand the concept of The Great Assumption and understand the need to ask The Great Question whether they ask their doctor or not. This is a short and easy task to read, learn and share.

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

The next two sections describe a gut / microbiome approach to health that may be useful for people living with chronic unexplained inflammation.

The Failure Of TGA section has information about what happens when a failure of The Great Assumption occurs, how to recognize it and a strategy to control the resulting inflammation and restore microbiome health.

The Resources section has detailed information I collected and used to restore my health.

The Personal section describes the lab rat in this wiki, me, the drivers in my life that set me up for a failure of The Great Assumption, how I came to recognize it and the impact it had on my life. This is the sad part of the wiki. But I have included it to emphasize that failures of The Great Assumption do impact lives and likely much more than anyone realizes.

WHO

This is just a short list of the people I believe would be most interested and benefit from an understanding of The Great Assumption and how to mitigate its failure.

In fact I believe a wide array of people with a wide array of conditions would benefit from the knowledge I share in this wiki.

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 they would be the least likely to be satisfied with a lame response too.

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 long haulers 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 is not in it.

Migraine sufferers

There are probiotic microbes that are effective in reducing biogenic amines in the gut which can cause migraines. And there are foods and probiotics that produce biogenic amines in the gut. I sort out the goodies and the baddies in the Resources section.

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

The association of microbiome dysbiosis with symptoms like these is easy to check by making some easy diet modifications I explain in the Resources section.

People suffering from depression

There is lots of research linking the gut microbiome with depression.

A rash of other problems...

Anyone with digestive problems, skin rashes, hives, itching, breathing problems like asthma and COPD would probably find relief in a low histamine diet.
