00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:26.079
Welcome back to the Chasing Eden podcast, where we rediscover
2
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:32.560
our body's divine design. I'm your host, Carolyn Thompson, and
3
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:35.479
I'm so glad you're here with me today. In a
4
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.640
world that feels increasingly synthetic and overstimulated, this space is
5
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:46.200
about returning to what was always there, whole foods, intelligent design,
6
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.719
and the quiet power of what grows naturally from the earth.
7
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.159
Today we're talking about turmeric, not the trendy latte version,
8
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.520
not the oversimplified supplement headline, but the real story, the history,
9
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:11.040
the science, the inflammation pathways, the immune implications, and yes,
10
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:16.799
the parasite conversation. Turmeric is one of the most studied
11
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:22.439
medicinal plants on Earth, and yet its use predates laboratories
12
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:28.480
by thousands of years. Let's go back. Turmeric Kurcuma longa
13
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.359
is part of the ginger family. What we use is
14
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.079
the rhizome, the underground stem, which is boiled, dried, and
15
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:45.400
ground into the deep golden powder. Archaeological evidence suggests turmic
16
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.640
was used as early as twenty five hundred b C.
17
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.640
In the Indus Valley civilization. Residue found in ancient pottery
18
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.719
indicates it was combined with ginger and garlic three in
19
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:07.120
green medians, still foundational in traditional healing systems today. In irevita,
20
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:13.400
turmeric was considered warming, cleansing, and balancing. It was used
21
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:20.240
for swelling, digestive stagnation, wound healing, skin disorders, respiratory congestion,
22
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:27.439
and systemic weakness. What's fascinating is how consistent its application
23
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.319
was across cultures. It appears in Sanskrit medical texts, it
24
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.000
shows up in traditional Chinese medicine. It was mentioned by
25
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.840
Marco Polo in the thirteenth century. It traveled trade routes
26
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:47.759
into the Middle East and Africa, different civilizations, similar uses,
27
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:53.599
and that pattern matters when cultures that never communicated use
28
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.439
the same plant for similar dysfunctions. We pay attention. Turmeric
29
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.120
never framed as a miracle. It was a daily medicine,
30
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.199
part of cooking, part of ritual, part of hygiene, part
31
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:14.080
of wound care. It was integrated, and that's something modern
32
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.639
health culture often forgets. Healing plants were meant to be
33
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:23.240
a part of life, not isolated in capsules alone. But
34
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.879
now we have the science to understand why it worked.
35
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.360
The most studied compound in turmeric is kurkcumin. Kerkcumin is
36
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:41.319
a polyphenol, a plant based compound with potent antioxidant and
37
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:46.560
anti inflammatory properties. It accounts for roughly two to five
38
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.680
percent of turmeric powder, but it carries much of the
39
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:56.159
biological weight. What makes kirkuman so interesting is that it
40
00:03:56.199 --> 00:04:02.520
doesn't target just one pathway, it influences many. One of
41
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:08.800
the most researched is its interaction with NFkB, a protein
42
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:16.600
complex that regulates inflammatory gene expression. Chronic activation of NFkB
43
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:24.639
is associated with arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, neuro degeneration,
44
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.360
autoimmune disorders, and certain cancers. Curcumin has been shown in
45
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:39.120
research to down regulate NFkB activation. In plain language, it
46
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:47.399
helps quiet chronic inflammatory signaling. Doctor Josh Acts frequently describes
47
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:53.639
curcumin as one of the most powerful natural anti inflammatories available.
48
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.279
He often compares its effect in studies to certain pharmaceutical
49
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.600
anti inflamm amatories without the same gastrel intestinal burden when
50
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:11.399
used appropriately. Human biologist Gary Breca has discussed turmeric as
51
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:17.560
a staple in inflammation management, particularly in individuals dealing with
52
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:25.680
joint pain or systemic inflammatory stress. Doctor Eric Berg often
53
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.639
highlights turmeric's influence on inflammation and metabolic health, calling it
54
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.120
quote good for virtually everything unquote in the context of
55
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.839
inflammatory reduction. But here's the key distinction. Kerkcumin does not
56
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.519
suppress the immune system. It modulates it. Suppression weakens defense,
57
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:57.360
modulation restores balance, and that difference is critical. Inflammation is
58
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.600
not inherently bad a cue. Inflammation is protective. It helps
59
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:08.800
us heal wounds and fight infections. The problem is chronic inflammation,
60
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:16.319
low grade, persistent immune activation that never fully resolves. Modern
61
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:21.480
lifestyle factors contribute heavily to this, things like processed food,
62
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:29.439
refined sugars, chronic stress, environmental toxins, sedentary behavior, and sleep disruption.
63
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:35.879
When inflammation becomes chronic, it creates a terrain that supports disease.
64
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.079
This is why termic gained attention again in the modern era.
65
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:48.800
It doesn't attack symptoms randomly. It influences root signaling pathways,
66
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:55.000
It reduces inflammatory cytokines, It lures C reactive protein. In
67
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.720
some studies, it influences oxidative stress. And this is where
68
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.600
we transition into something you specifically asked to include, the
69
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:13.120
parasite discussion. Let's address this directly and responsibly. There is
70
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:20.439
laboratory and animal research suggesting kurcumin exhibits anti parasitic properties.
71
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.600
Studies have demonstrated kuruman affecting organisms such as Giardia lamblia
72
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:35.279
in vitro. Animal models studying parasitic infections like schistomiasis have
73
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:41.519
shown turmeric reducing inflammatory damage and parasite burden compared to
74
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.600
untreated controls. What does that actually mean in practical terms?
75
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.920
It does not mean turmeric is a standalone cure for
76
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:58.160
parasitic infection. It does mean kurcumin appears to disrupt parasite
77
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:04.120
viability in certain models, as well as reduced inflammation associated
78
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:10.879
with parasitic infection. It also supports immune regulation and improves
79
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:18.480
good integrity. Parasites often create inflammation, oxidative stress, and disruption
80
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:25.439
of the intestinal lining. Kurkcumin addresses those mechanisms. It calms
81
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:33.799
inflammatory overreaction, It supports mucosal integrity, It influences immune signaling.
82
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:40.480
In traditional medicines, turmeric was rarely used alone. It was
83
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:46.279
part of a broader cleansing and digestive support strategy and
84
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.080
often combined with things like bitter herbs garlic ginger and
85
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:59.440
dietary shifts. Modern holistic practitioners who speak about parasitic terrain
86
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:08.039
often emphasize reducing inflammation and improving bile flow. Turmeric supports both.
87
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:13.919
This is not hype. It is terrain support and terrain
88
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:21.360
determines resilience. Now here's where many people fail with turmeric.
89
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.519
Kurcumin is poorly absorbed on its own. If you simply
90
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.000
sprinkle turmeric on food and expect systemic transformation, you may
91
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:36.120
be disappointed. Research shows that combining turmeric with black pepper,
92
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:44.080
specifically the compound piperine, significantly increases kurcumin absorption. It also
93
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.159
absorbs better with fat, and this is why traditional recipes
94
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:54.559
often combine turmeric with ghee, coconut milk, or oils. Doctor
95
00:09:54.639 --> 00:10:00.720
Berg emphasizes this Often turmeric alone has low bio of availability,
96
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.240
but when paired with pepper and fat, absorption improves dramatically.
97
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:12.440
This is not new knowledge. Traditional cooking already did this again,
98
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:20.799
ancient design meeting modern validation. Turmeric isn't powerful because it's exotic.
99
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.159
It's powerful because it interacts with the body at multiple
100
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.679
levels inflammation, signaling, oxidative stress, immune modulation, gut integrity and
101
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:38.840
metabolic balance. It supports the systems that determine long term health,
102
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:45.720
and it does so gently, not aggressively, not suppressively, but intelligently.
103
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.440
We're going to pause briefly here. When we return, we'll
104
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:56.600
move into turmeric's impact on brain health, cardiovascular protection, metabolic balance,
105
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.320
and immune resilience. Will also go deeper into the parasite
106
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:24.480
terrain conversation. Stay with me when we talk about turmeric.
107
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:29.360
It's easy to focus on joints and inflammation alone, but
108
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:35.919
what's remarkable is how far its influence extends beyond pain relief.
109
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.399
Once inflammation begins to calm, systems that have been under
110
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.720
quiet stress for years finally have room to recover. This
111
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.600
is where turmeric becomes far more than a spice for
112
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:55.679
sore knees. One of the most fascinating properties of kirkcumin
113
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.279
is its ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Very
114
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.240
few compounds can do this. When they can, the immediately
115
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.559
earn attention. In neuroscience research, Kurkuman's impact on the brain
116
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:18.960
appears to work through several mechanisms. First, it reduces neuroinflammation.
117
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.480
Chronic inflammation in the brain is now associated with cognitive
118
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.879
decline and mood disorders as were as well as neurodegenerative conditions.
119
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:38.240
Kerkumin has been shown to influence inflammatory cytokinds within neural tissue,
120
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:47.639
helping calm this ongoing irritation. Kuruman influences b d NF,
121
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:56.679
brain derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF is often described as fertilizer
122
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:04.120
for the brain. It supports neuroplasticity, learning, memory formation, and
123
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:11.440
resilience against stress. Low BDNF levels are associated with depression
124
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:18.919
and cognitive decline. Research suggests kirkuman can increase BDNF expression,
125
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:26.440
supporting healthier brain signaling. Doctor Eric Berg has spoken about
126
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:31.519
this often, noting that turmeric supports brain health by encouraging
127
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:38.759
neurogenesis and reducing inflammatory stress. He frequently highlights kirkhuman's influence
128
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:43.240
on mood and cognitive clarity, not as a stimulant, but
129
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:47.600
as a stabilizer. This is why turmeric shows up in
130
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:53.039
conversations around mental clarity, emotional regulation, and even long term
131
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:59.600
neurological protection. It's not acting like caffeine, its acting like nourishment.
132
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.840
Chronic inflammation doesn't stay combined, confined to jointance or tissues.
133
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:14.000
It affects your neurotransmitters. Inflammatory cytokines can interfere with serotonin
134
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:20.679
and dopamine signaling over time. This contributes to low mood, anxiety,
135
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:28.559
and emotional volatility. Kurkcuman's anti inflammatory action may indirectly support
136
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:35.879
neurotransmitter balance by reducing inflammatory interference. Some clinical studies have
137
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:41.639
compared Kurkuman's effects on mood to pharmaceutical and adepressants, finding
138
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:47.840
similar improvements in depressive symptoms, particularly when inflammation is a
139
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:53.879
contributing factor. This doesn't mean turmic replaces therapy or medication.
140
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.799
It means inflammation is often part of the emotional equation
141
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:07.600
and addresses inflammation at the root. Turmeric's benefits extend deeply
142
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:15.200
into cardiovascular health. Kurcuman supports the endothelium, the inner lining
143
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:21.279
of blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is a key contributor to
144
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:28.639
high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and heart disease. Studies show kercumin
145
00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:34.960
can improve endothelial function, reduce oxidative stress on blood vessels,
146
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:42.399
and lower inflammatory markers associated with cardiovascular risk. It also
147
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:48.759
helps reduce LDL oxidation, a major factor in plaqueformation. Doctor
148
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:54.759
X frequently discusses turmeric as supportive for heart health because
149
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.840
it addresses inflammation rather than merely cholesterol numbers. The heart
150
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:05.440
doesn't fail because of cholesterol alone, it fails in an
151
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:14.080
inflammatory environment. Kerkumin helps calm that environment. Turmeric also plays
152
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:21.080
a role in metabolic balance. Research suggests kerkcuman improves insulin
153
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:27.039
sensitivity and reduces markers of metabolic inflammation. This is especially
154
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.000
relevant for individuals dealing with insulin resistance, pre diabetes, or
155
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:42.840
metabolic syndrome. Inflammation interferes with insulin signaling, kurkumin helps restore communication.
156
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:49.799
Some studies indicate kirkcumin supplementation reduces fasting blood sugar, glucose
157
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:56.440
HB A, one C, and triglyceride levels. Human biologist Gary
158
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:02.360
Breca often emphasizes that aimation is at the root of
159
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:09.279
most metabolic dysfunction. Supporting inflammation resolution improves how cells respond
160
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:15.039
to insulin. Again, turmeric isn't a replacement for lifestyle changes,
161
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.200
but it is a supporter of them. So now let's
162
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.119
come back to the parasite conversation, because this is where
163
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:31.119
turmeric's systemic role becomes especially important. Parasites do not thrive
164
00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:37.000
in resilient terrain. They thrive in environments marked by chronic inflammation,
165
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:44.240
compromised gut lining, poor bileflow, and immune dysregulation. Her Cuman
166
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.400
influences all of these factors. It helps strengthen your gut
167
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:54.039
barrier integrity by reducing intestinal inflammation. It supports your bileflow,
168
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.920
which is critical for fat digestion and anti microbial activity
169
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:03.559
in the gut. It also modulates immune response rather than
170
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:09.799
overstimulating it. Research has shown kurcuman effects gut microbiotic composition,
171
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:16.559
discouraging harmful organisms while supporting beneficial bacteria. In parasite infections,
172
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:22.680
inflammation is often as damaging as the parasite itself. Kurcumin
173
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:29.079
reduces inflammatory collateral damage, and this is why turmeric is
174
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:35.079
often included in integrative parasite support strategies, not as a killer,
175
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.480
but as a stabilizer. It helps the body regain control.
176
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:49.720
Laboratory studies demonstrate curcuman's antimicrobial effects against bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
177
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:57.559
In vitro studies have shown kurkuman disrupting Giardia trophozoites. Animal
178
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:04.640
studies involving schistosomias show reduced parasite burden and inflammatory damage
179
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.400
with turmeric supplementation. While these findings are promising, it's important
180
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:16.000
to keep your perspective. Curcumin supports terrain, it does not
181
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:22.559
replace targeted treatment when necessary. This balance matters. Over promising
182
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:31.039
creates disappointment. Understanding mechanism creates confidence in regard to kurcumens
183
00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.920
supporting the terrain. This makes me think of that famous doctor.
184
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.880
He wrote a book and it's out of print now,
185
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.079
but you can find it on Amazon and also eBay.
186
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.400
I actually had to go to eBay for this book,
187
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.559
and I will cite the book at the bottom of
188
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.599
the blog notes for chasing enan dot net if you're
189
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.880
interested in looking at it, because I can't remember the name,
190
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:58.279
and I can't remember the name of the doctor either,
191
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:00.880
but he was very well known and connected to other
192
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.519
famous doctors of his time, and I believe he was
193
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.119
alive during the nineteen thirties, and he's one of the
194
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.960
doctors who had stated that the terrain is everything. He's
195
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:16.759
also a doctor who was a bit controversial when it
196
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.200
came to the immune system and viruses. He didn't believe
197
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.000
that you really caught a virus. He believed that you
198
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:29.599
were making yourself weak enough to become ill. As in
199
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.839
he says the terrain is everything, that the virus is nothing.
200
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.559
The terrain is everything. So when you're dealing with a
201
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:41.559
healthy gut microbiota, and you're dealing with a healthy immune system,
202
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.880
which the gut is a part of his viewpoint was
203
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.200
that if you have a healthy immune system's if it's
204
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:54.960
functioning optimally, that you couldn't get sick when everyone everyone
205
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.400
else around it could be sick, but you could actually
206
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:01.400
stay well while everyone else was sick. So this is
207
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.640
a very good book. I will cite it at Chasing
208
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:09.440
Edent Net underneath the Turmeric podcast notes if you're interested
209
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:11.440
in looking at it. He has a lot of other
210
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.200
really interesting things to say in regard to the immune
211
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.079
system and supporting the terrain. And this is kind of
212
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.160
my approach to it. I know when I am compromising
213
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.640
my terrain, when I'm doing things that are hurting my
214
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.559
immune system, like taking in too much sugar, too many snacks,
215
00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.599
not getting enough sleep, letting myself get too stressed out
216
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.599
about things. These are all things that compromise our immune
217
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.039
system and the terrain of our immune system. So turmeric
218
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.759
is a great way to support that terrain, so in
219
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.160
regard to that, Kirk human has also been studied extensively
220
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.519
in oncology research, not as a cure, but as a
221
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:55.000
supportive compound. Studies have shown influences in things like sell death,
222
00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:00.920
tumor blood supply, and inflammatory signaling association with term of growth.
223
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:07.400
Doctor Burg often references the sheer volume of cancer related
224
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:13.839
curcuman research, emphasizing its rule and reducing inflammatory signaling that
225
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:20.519
cancer sells exploit. In today's social media pool of discussion,
226
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.759
there are a lot of credible people stating that cancer
227
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:33.119
is just simply parasites parasites out of control. In regard
228
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.319
to parasites, without going on a rabbit trail here, what
229
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:40.240
a lot of people don't realize is that parasites show
230
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.000
up when we actually need them. If you have, say,
231
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.119
undigested food in your gut, and you know, rather than
232
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.640
just have it sitting there and harming you internally, the
233
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.440
parasites start forming and showing up to eat up that
234
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:00.000
food for you because your terrain, your body, your digest
235
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.319
estive mix isn't breaking it down properly, so they actually
236
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.640
show up to help you in the end. If they
237
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.039
get totally out of control, we end up with things
238
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.519
like tumors and you parasites that we don't want. Now again,
239
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.279
this some of this stuff is very controversial, and not
240
00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:19.240
everyone agrees with it or sees it that same way.
241
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.240
There are people who might say, no, that's not it,
242
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.160
that's not what's happening. But you'll see on social media
243
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.519
and all a lot of these discussions. A lot more
