Kash said they have finalized plans to move out of the Hoover building…they’re staying in DC, but so far he hasn’t said where.

“Next to the Dept of Justice” - not sure of its address.

Any DC anons know?

KEFIR and numerous probiotics have helped me greatly, although I don’t have epilepsy.

Talked to my naturopathic doctor last week and he says this falls under NEUROgastroenterology, a new field, and I have no idea if there are any practicing docs that know about it. That said, my naturopathic doc knows all about the things you’ve talked about over the months. You are on the right track, but medical doctors are purposefully ignorant on this stuff because your ignorance (sickness/illness) pays their mortgages, luxury cars and their liberal kid’s Communist college educations…

 

BE WELL - drink Yakult and other probiotic yogurts, grass fed kefir, take oral probiotics, fermented veggies, etc. and buy a yogurt maker. Go to a naturopath and borrow money for their protocol if you have to. Your gut is your ‘second brain’, the gut/brain axis.

I’m rooting for you, you’re on the right track.

FWIW, I asked GROK which probiotics help reduce epilepsy:

 

_______

Certain probiotics show promise in reducing epilepsy symptoms, particularly seizure frequency and severity, by modulating the gut-brain axis, reducing neuroinflammation, and increasing inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA. Below are key probiotic strains with evidence from preclinical and clinical studies:

 

  • Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus): A 2019 study in a PTZ-induced seizure rat model showed reduced seizure severity and improved spatial learning, linked to increased GABA levels and decreased oxidative stress.

  • Lactobacillus helveticus: A 2023 study in mice demonstrated that L. helveticus R0052 increased seizure thresholds, potentially via enhanced GABA levels and reduced inflammation.

  • Lactobacillus plantarum: A 2018 clinical trial in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients found a probiotic mix including L. plantarum reduced seizure frequency by over 50% in 28.9% of 45 patients, with elevated GABA and reduced inflammation markers.

  • Lactobacillus casei (Lacticaseibacillus casei): A 2019 study showed L. casei supplementation in neonates with rotavirus reduced seizure risk tenfold compared to controls.

  • Lactobacillus brevis: Part of a probiotic cocktail in a 2018 DRE study, it contributed to seizure reduction and improved quality of life, possibly by modulating inflammation.

  • Bifidobacterium longum: A 2023 study in a lithium-pilocarpine rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy showed B. longum reduced anxiety, neuronal death in the amygdala, and inflammation, though it had less impact on hippocampal damage.

  • Bifidobacterium infantis: In animal studies, it reduced seizure severity alongside L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri, with effects tied to increased GABA and reduced oxidative stress.

  • Lactobacillus fermentum MSK 408: A study in PTZ-induced kindled mice showed it reduced seizure frequency and duration, particularly when combined with a ketogenic diet, by regulating inflammation and restoring short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

  • Saccharomyces boulardii: Human studies showed it reduced seizure risk in neonates with rotavirus infections, likely by stabilizing gut microbiota.

  • Probiotic Mixtures (e.g., VSL#3): A 30-day treatment in absence epilepsy rat models reduced spike-wave discharges and showed anti-inflammatory effects. A 2018 clinical trial with a mix of Lactobacillus (acidophilus, plantarum, casei, helveticus, brevis), Bifidobacterium lactis, and Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus achieved significant seizure reduction in DRE patients.[]

PART 2 continued

 

(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327560050_The_beneficial_effect_of_probiotics_as_a_supplementary_treatment_in_drug-resistant_epilepsy_A_pilot_study)

 

Mechanisms: These probiotics may reduce seizures by:

  • Increasing GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which raises the seizure threshold.

  • Reducing neuroinflammation (e.g., lowering IL-6, TNF-α) and oxidative stress (e.g., decreasing NO, malondialdehyde).

  • Modulating the gut-brain axis, improving gut microbiota balance, and enhancing SCFA production, which supports brain health.

 

Evidence Gaps: Most studies are preclinical or small-scale human trials (e.g., 21–45 patients). Results vary, with some patients (up to 48.9%) showing no response. Larger, placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm efficacy and mechanisms.

 

Recommendations: While promising, probiotics should be used as a complementary therapy alongside antiepileptic drugs, not a replacement. Strains like L. rhamnosus, L. helveticus, L. plantarum, and B. longum are commonly studied. Consult a neurologist or healthcare provider before starting probiotics, especially for DRE, to ensure compatibility with existing treatments. Fermented foods or supplements with these strains may be beneficial, but effects are strain-specific and individual responses vary.

 

If you want specific product recommendations or further details on studies, let me know!
