I've been reading about gut bacteria, for general knowledge but also because I've read that it can be beneficial for psoriosis (Bifidobacterium infantis specifically is said to help with this).
But I was surprised to read that some bacteria may contribute to histamine (over) production, and should be avoided. For example Lactobacillus casei.
I'm reading this page, which seems objective to me https://mybiohack.com/blog/treat-deal-m ... -naturally
and they link the following studies about Lactobacillus casei.

What are you thoughts?
Specific gut bacterial strains.

Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
You may compare bacteria to nutrients; its all about balance.
Not about 'more'.
There are over 400 know strains of bacteria in our gut. They make up a very complex balance. You could argue the importance of each of these strains, and you could argue that you should not supplement bacteria, as that might throw that complex balance off.
Just feed your body raw foods, and your gut will maintain the proper balance.
To think that we can put together a better balance is absurd, in as much that nutrient supplementation is usually counterproductive.

Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
Right; so these bacteria would only be an issue for someone 'supplementing' bacteria.
OTOH, supplementing sometimes makes sense (if you're not getting something from your diet, or have some imbalance to correct).
I've been taking this, https://newrootsherbal.com/product/id/1965
because it has Bifidobacterium infantis, which I read can help people with fungal skin problems (which I have).
It also has 12 'human' strains of bacteria; I'm not sure how exactly they can be human, since all bacteria originates externally? Or maybe mother's milk produces some unique bacteria.

Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
hey Mr. PC.
crazy idea,
try xylitol on your fungal skin and see if it works?

If not, you may have to conclude it doesn't help you.
Did you try to consistently 'suffocate'' the fungus with vaseline?
Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
So... my skin problems have cleared 98%. I think it's due to the probiotic (which I'm soon to run out of and won't be able to buy refills!!), but I'll list everything I've been doing (sorry, pretty non-wai).
probiotic
8 raw eggyolks
Omega 3 capsule (actually, they smell rancid... I should probably chuck them, but that's hard to do).
zinc
200 grams of liver each day
cucumbers, tomatoes, almonds, carrots
cold showers (using head and shoulders and nizoral).
using a blow-drier to make my skin very dry after the shower
not wearing cloths when I'm home alone
magnesium
I also just moved back to Russia... so pretty much my entire life changed. Right now, my skin is better than is has been since I was 14-17. Although the zinc / magnesium / nizoral / head and shoulders helps, I've done those things for a while. Cold showers / liver / probiotic are the new elements, and I think it's the probiotic (since the strain is specifically designed to fight fungus).
I remember the Vaseline working temporarily on my nose years ago. I should try it again, but I'm afraid of changing anything now that my skin is improving. Also, I have the problem in my hair, forehead, eyebrows, nose, behind ears, neck, shoulders, back, chest, and sometimes even legs; so I'd basically be having a Vaseline bath.

Simply use it instead of bodylotion and styling gelMr. PC wrote: ↑Sun 01 Apr 2018 07:53 I remember the Vaseline working temporarily on my nose years ago.

I always use vaseline on my skin; it keeps my skin hydrated all day
and i wash my hair every morning, after which i always use vaseline to style my hair.
Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
Vaseline: It seems our skin does a pretty good job of absorbing things topically/transdermal - if you agree that it does too - don't you have any concerns with the petroleum base in vaseline being absorbed?
Re: Specific gut bacterial strains.
The skin does a pretty good job in absorbing water based topicals, but cannot absorb vaseline. The vaseline just sits on your skin.
