Deep within the jungle heart of the amazon….. there is remote South American tribe, untouched by modern society…. a dedicated researcher collects, dries, cleans and prepares what is without a doubt the best intestinal flora diversity cap on earth.
Because of their native lifestyle the bacterial diversity of their intestines is many times that of people living in modern culture.
Along with that, their is no chronic inflammatory disease, no depression, no anxiety.
Signals from bacteria determine how our brain works. As science learns more and more about the micro-ecosystem of our body, we find that the signals our brains receive from bacteria can create anxiety, depression, happiness, relaxation, etc.
Haven’t you ever wondered why tribal people with no personal resources, and no chance of ever having personal wealth, can sit on a log with each other and just laugh like there is no tomorrow?
And yet we have some modern men and women that seems to all appearances to have wealth and “health” but are absolutely miserable. In the simplest terms the bodies physiology is a simple engine. If you don’t have gas or oil in the engine (or electricity) it will not work. No matter how new or fancy the car.
Having the correct microbiome is like having gas and oil (or electricity) in the engine of your car.
If you have any doubt as to how bacteria can influence out brain then you should look up information on post streptococcus immune syndrome, also known as PANS or PANDAS. In this syndrome children that get treated for strep throat with antibiotics can have a complete personality reversal. Kids that were previously happy can become angry, irritable and even violent. A complete turn around in their personality.
Obviously if the bacteria can influence the brain (nervous system) they can influence the immune systems. The can make a hyper reactive immune system (autoimmune disease) or a passive or depleted immune system (chronic infections).
We have realized that in using the caveman caps that the progress on helminthic therapy can be limited by the amount, quality and diversity of tools that the worms have to use. The “tools” the worms use for improving health are the bacteria available for them to use. Caveman caps provide an immense diversity of bacteria (flora) for the helminths to use in balancing the body.
By giving them the bacterial diversity of ancient peoples they can do the job they are meant to do more effectively. I believe these are essential in creating that highest level of health.
Only people currently on helminthic therapy are eligible for “caveman capsules”. This is because we have seen the reaction to native bacteria (ie. what your ancestors had generations ago) be too strong in people that do not have a balanced helminth population.
