The following was written by someone promoting bone broth. But if you read my newsletters you will recall an article a week or so back talking about the promoted advantages of bone broth and how they do not appear to hold water. Nevertheless these points below are as valid as they could be. Instead of bone broth, to effect an improvement in you gut microbiome add organic vegetables and fruits, kambucha, fermented foods like sauerkraut etc.
Scientists are starting to call it an “organ” because it functions as one…
The human microbiome is a miraculous web of micro-organisms that live in harmony with us… In fact, they are so important to us that if they DIE…
We die.
And sadly, that’s exactly what’s happening because the modern Western diet is full of chemical foods that kill the good bacteria in our gut…
And encourage the bad ones to thrive.
The most recent research discovered just how important these invisible allies are to our health…
Cancer, Heart disease, Obesity, Crohn’s disease…
Diabetes, Autism, Leaky gut syndrome… Celiac, Auto-immune illness, Irritable Bowel Syndrome…
Even Skin Diseases, Allergies, Anxiety and Depression…
ALL are connected to the health of our gut bacteria.
But here’s the thing:
You can’t just pop a probiotic and fix anything because your gut microbiome is 100% unique to you…
As a matter of fact, the one thing you can get researchers agree on is this… When it comes to fixing your gut health…
Nothing has a bigger impact than…
FOOD.
What you do and don’t eat radically shifts the balance of gut microbes within 24 hours.

One single genetically modified ingredient is now considered responsible for up to 75% of adverse reactions to food additives, according to some reports.
Three local Wisconsin women are spearheading an effort to persuade city officials to abandon a plan to use herbicides in Stoughton parks and athletic fields beginning this spring. After learning of the plan about two weeks ago, Sylvia Lawrence, Gennifer Weaver and Sara Downie – all mothers with young children – contacted friends in the city who share their concerns. They established a grassroots group opposed to using chemicals to control broadleaf plants such as dandelions and clover. They also offered to help maintain park lawns and playing fields and have encouraged the city to adopt alternatives to chemical applications. The three and about two-dozen supporters calling themselves Naturally Stoughton-Cultivating Sustainable Solutions attended a Public Works Committee meeting last Monday to question the new policy. They hope the city can find organic solutions to what some people are considering a significant weed problem.
