New study on gut permeability (leaky gut) and depression
« on: December 19, 2010, 09:07:56 pm »
From what I understand, strong immune response from bacteria passing through a permeable gut can be used as a diagnostic tool to determine depression at a 90% accuracy.

This is a huge study.

So they have just figured out that people with leaky gut suffer depression, well I could of told them that about 4 years ago when I was suffering from such afflictions. I had a nutritional blood analysis done and it showed that I had excessive fat in the blood as well as parasites and bacteria. I would have mental episodes after nearly every meal where I would feel demented and poisoned,  How could one who has such a condition not also suffer from depression. Isn't most serotonin production within the nerves of the gut, so if the immune stem of the gut is under attack then I seriously doubt those cells are going to be able to pump out the feel good hormones as freely as someone who is afflicted..
