I didn’t ping the list, I actually just pinged the FReeper who runs the list. She’s wonderful and a lot more organized than I am.
I found this information very informative. I’ve had two oncologists in the past 2 years and neither one mentioned any thing concerning anything about anything except their own narrow focus.
And isn’t that so sad? But it isn’t just oncologists who seem to omit any discussion of how paying attention to your personal gut biome might affect your health. All doctors seem to be oblivious or to pooh pooh it, saying not enough is known. (I had a GI specialist from UCLA tell me that.). There is enough known to see that even a study sample of ONE, yourself, can make a huge difference by reading, and trying small dietary changes.
It can be as small as adding cooked, cooled rice to your diet for added resistant starch (that the good gut bugs love - and yes, you can reheat it.). Or adding more vegetables for their fiber - and they don’t have to be raw necessarily either. Or potatoes, another wonderful source of resistant starch when cooked and cooled, as in potato salad.
