I'm consulting the AIs, because it is a pretty daunting task to try and learn these in-depth .biological processes. It's always fun because AIs are generally 50/50, so it makes "learning" sort of more rapid.

Ex: "Are most people calcium deficient?"

Answwer: "Based on the available research, calcium deficiency appears to be a widespread global issue, though not necessarily affecting "most" people: ..."

It is daunting to learn Ray Peat. AI may be helpful, but its accuracy is dependent on what it is fed into it. It doesn't mean its answers are going to be wrong. But neither can you count on it to be rellable.

If it were that simple, you need not go to K12 at all, as AI will fill you in. But I doubt you will have the confidence to figure out many answers yourself, as the quality of your answer will depend highly on the process of determining your answers yourself.

afaik, this forum is the new one. the former RPF is now the LTF (low toxin forum).

I would first assume that bacteria has not been totally eliminated, as total elimination is not something easy to do. A small remnant colony may still exist.

The problem with certain antibiotics is that they can lead target bacteria to morph into a form that is more resistant in the form of cell wall deficient bacteria. When not dependent on having a cell wall to survive, these bacteria are more resistant and more virulent, and can lead to a microbiome where fungal forms increase their dominance.

This leads further to the loss of balance in the microbiome and more dysbiosis and opportunities for infection.

Use of natural substances available in nature that are known for their antifungal properties may help as a start. Taking turpentine orally, for example. This would help change the microbiome towards a dominance by bacteria instead of fungal forms.

I believe many diseases attributed to putative viruses are simply fungal forms, as something said to be invisible bears the stigma of mystery, and mystery always carries with it the fear of the unknown, of which snake oil doctors like to engage in for their business of parasitism of the masses of fearful and superstitious masses.

Another avenue worth exploring is aromatherapy, on the use of essential oils, especially use of suppositories with blends tailored to fit the suspected pathogens in play. Since essential oils are composed of primary and many secondary metabolites, they have various pathways of action that make them much less subject to pathogenic resistance, in contrast to the single mode of action of antibiotics, which pathogens can easily build resistance to.

Of course, there is the use of fecal transplants but this is one I would consider only out of desperation. I would rather that I share a glass of water with my pet cat or dog, in the hope that I can get some of the bacteria from them. But if the bacteria I want is an obligated anaerobe, it would be hard to obtain that bacteria this way.

That may be so, but I'm not sure if regularly tea drinking in itself will be able to provide enough calcium to prevent osteoporosis in later years. I see lots of elderly Chinese in Hongkong who have hunched backs. They drink plenty of tea.

This is the best I could do:

Images are in Google Photos.

I could not do a copy and paste either as it ends up as gibberish.

I find it hard to post images. It's easier at RPF. Can someone show me how to use the markup language below? @brad
