About twenty years ago, I was asked to speak at a fibromyalgia-fatigue conference in Michigan. The speaker before me presented his idea of fecal implants to “cure” fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. His plan was to radiate the patient’s bowel to eradicate the bowel flora and, as he put it, “re-populate the bowel with fecal implant.” I was horrified. When
Read moreNatural Remedies for Psoriasis Psoriasis is an oxygen problem before it becomes a skin problem. The typical red, angry, itching, and scaly skin areas that constitute psoriasis are caused by underlying problems of skin toxicity caused by mold toxins and other toxic acids produced during excessive gut fermentation. All factors that set the stage for excessive gut fermentation—directly or indirectly—are

How did it come to pass that every self-respecting grocery store would stock shelf after shelf with gluten-free foods? The answer: In the United States, we own and pride in

Overgrowth of fermenting bowel microbes (the “fermenters”)—in my view—is the single most important cause of chronic absence of health. For decades, I wondered whether the bioenergetics and chemistry of chronic anger was a more important cause of disease than the overgrowth of

In 2014, my pathology and internal medicine textbooks of pathology and internal medicine also teach me two things about canker sores: (1) the cause of these painful sores in the mouth
Read moreEach Unhealthy Mouth Is Unhealthy In Its Own Way Majid Ali, M.D. Bad breath is caused by oral fermentation, which in most cases is rooted in colon fermentation. Less commonly, oral fermentation is an extension of stomach fermentation. I anticipate the question: why don’t I begin with dental cavities and tooth abscesses? The answer: This is what my patients, my
