Here's something I find endlessly fascinating about the gut microbiome: it's not just what you eat that matters. It's what your bacteria do with it after you eat it.

A new research review on mulberry just illustrated this beautifully.

Mulberry leaves and fruit contain polyphenols and polysaccharides, compounds that your gut bacteria can ferment into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, propionate, and acetate. These are some of the most protective molecules your gut produces. They support your intestinal lining, influence how your body handles blood sugar and fat, and help maintain the chemical conversation between your gut and the rest of your body.

So far, so good.

But here's where it gets interesting.

When researchers tested mulberry's polyphenols and polysaccharides separately in mice on a high-fat diet, each had some effect. But when they gave the mice both compounds together, as they naturally occur in the whole fruit, the results were significantly better. More favourable shifts in gut bacteria. Greater improvements in metabolic markers. Better intestinal health.

The whole was genuinely greater than the sum of its parts.

They then took the gut bacteria from the mice that received the combined fraction and transplanted them into other animals. The recipient mice showed metabolic improvements too, even though they'd never consumed any mulberry themselves.

The benefits weren't just in the plant. They were in what the microbiome had become.

Most of this research is still in animals and lab settings, and the researchers are upfront about that. We can't assume it will all translate directly to people.

But honestly, the principle it reinforces is one that keeps showing up in study after study: your food provides the raw materials, your gut bacteria build the medicine.

Yours for better health, naturally,

I have supplemented with 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 for years and am as grey as it gets so I am not a good example of the workability of this regime.

(Tom: I first heard about exposing blood to light as a therapy in the early days of COVID, from an Eastern European country.)

How Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation treats severe many severe Cardiovascular, Infectious, Obstetric, Autoimmune and Neurological Diseases

•Natural light is an essential nutrient many of us do not have enough of within our bodies. Because of this, when ultraviolet light is added to the bloodstream, phenomenal health benefits emerge.

•Once ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) was discovered in the 1930s, it produced miraculous results for patients on the verge of death and was quickly adopted by hospitals throughout America. There, it demonstrated remarkable efficacy for a wide range of diseases, and the doctors who pioneered its use compiled a large body of research.

•To neutralize this competition, the American Medical Association published a small doctored study that “debunked” UVBI, and before long it became a forgotten side of medicine. The Russians and Germans however recognized the value of it, and for decades have produced research showing UBVI’s remarkable utility for a variety of challenging medical conditions both within and outside the hospital. However, in America, UVBI is primarily used by integrative practitioners who need effective tools to treat complex illnesses (e.g., Lyme disease, Chronic fatigue syndrome, spike protein injuries, or migraine disorders).

•In this article we will review the hundreds of studies showing UVBI’s utility for a wide range of medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, infertility, preventing miscarriages, many autoimmune disorders, preventing complications from surgery, and treating a myriad of challenging bacterial and viral infections), explain how UVBI works, and provide the resources for those wishing to best utilize this therapy.

In this publication, I have attempted to make the case that we are routinely denied vital knowledge, treatment, and care, in order to protect the interests of the medical industrial complex (as you can only sell costly but abysmal therapeutics to people if no alternatives exist). As that is a rather extreme allegation to make, I’ve tried to show piece by piece how this is indeed the case. For example:

•I’ve highlighted how many unsafe and ineffective pharmaceuticals make it to market (and sometimes are even mandated) because the panels that approved them were stacked with people taking money from the manufacturer (which I recently argued was a tactic Anthony Fauci weaponized against America).

•I’ve discussed how in the early 1900s, the American Medical Association was taken over by a group of unscrupulous businessmen who decided to fund the association by unconditionally promoting anything they were paid to (which amongst other things is why there were so many AMA advertisements of doctors promoting smoking) while simultaneously using the government to outlaw each competing therapy that refused to sell out to them.

•I’ve shown how American society has been methodically separated from the fundamental requirements for good health (e.g., sleep or sunlight), how damaging losing each of those is, and just how far the marketing industry often goes to ensure we never reclaim those basic requirements for health.

Assuming the first three are indeed true, it then suggests that a variety of remarkable medical innovations exist that have been buried. In this article, I will discuss one of those, ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI), both because there is a vast body of evidence for its use and because, unlike many of the other lost medical technologies, it’s still relatively accessible.
