I got tired of IBS symptoms so I fasted for two days. Zero food and drank only water. Then I went on a four day carnivore diet. Now I just eat a healthy diet. An apple a day. Not much sugar or flour. Bowels are the healthiest I remember them ever being

[concernedperson]

In December 1998, I was treated intravenously with Ciphro for an intestinal sepis event that was finally diagnosed on the fourth day as being a ruptured ovarian cyst. Then, the doc switched me to a broad spectrum antibiotic that helped bring down my high infection count, but I suffered with internal and intestinal issues for years that no doctor could understand. My new functional health doctor suspected that I had leaky gut from all of my symptoms, and based on my history. She has been the one to help guide me to much improvement in my health by using fermented foods and beverages. Thanks for educating us, but get this information into the medical schools and to the medical professionals, especially gastroenterologists who tend to diminish a person's symptoms, trying to convince a patient that they have mental and emotional issues.

GarryA- Been using the yogurt for three years. Results are absolutely incredible. I'm 75 years old and I feel 50.

I'm just 23 minutes into this video and I had to pause it to leave a comment. The magnificently profound info/insights from Dr. William Davis into the microbiome, and how it governs a multitiude of health conditions, is just astounding. Absolutely superb interview.

The super gut hook is the best $20 I’ve ever spent. Full of recipes.I’m making the 3rd recipe abt a week now, and I see significant difference.

[Erica-yrgf]

Dr Davis changed my life. I bought his book, ‘super gut’ and I’m making the recipes. Slowly I feel the shift in my body. I have regular bowel movement like clockwork. First time in my adult life (I’m 60) can sleep all night long without sleeping pill. I’m not bloated anymore. I just ordered the fermentation dish and the rest of the probiotics he recommended. THANK YOU DR. DAVIS❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I have been fermenting vegetables, fruits and now I’m going to expend to more varieties. I make my kombucha, in fact I’m making a large varieties. They’re absolutely delicious. ❤️❤️❤️

Dr. William Davis is awesome and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing.🌻

I brush my teeth each night with 3 drops of clove oil on my toothbrush with my paste. After brushing, I brush my tongue briefly then fill my mouth with water, swish forcefully then throw my head back for a deep gargle. Wow, the saliva often trickles out the corners of my mouth. It's very powerful 🙌 and deserves 🙏 our respect. I'm done having sore throats and sinus infections, too. My dental hygienist is always impressed with the health of my gums and teeth. So SIMPLE, SO EFFECTIVE! Start chewing a few cloves during the day. Or.. use the essential oil, as I just explained. 😊

[tompatterson]

I would love to be as cheerful and happy as this doctor. I’m going to try making his yogurt today.

[byamukamaoliver]

I think the video became this interesting because the person interviewing set up well calculated questions ...Brilliant two !!!

[jpl]

All I know if doctors spent their time learning this stuff instead of learning what drugs to push the world would be healthy and happier place. But, medical schools will never change their protocol so it is up to YouTubers to get these good doctors on the air.

[variniagarcia]

What a powerful episode!!!! Thanks so much. So much to learn. I love how the doctor explained every point. I wish I knew all this info years ago. We need to share this episode with all our friends and family. God bless both of you.

[nonni]

great interview. i wanted to learn more but a couple of other videos had the interviewers talking over the doctor, interrupting him even and sharing too much about their own lives (why??!), and i couldn't pay attention. this interviewer however did it PERFECTLY. 😊 i learned a lot. thank u

[dlicht]

Wish I could work with Dr. Davis to get over this sibo I've been battling for over 3 yrs now

[LeeWiebe]

This is such a FANTASTIC episode!! I have had gut issues most of my adult life. I'm a celiac and have been diagnosed with SIBO in the past. I was given conventional antibiotic. I learned so much from this episode. I want to get my hands on this Thanks for getting this information out there.

[awonderingsoul]

Really researching this topic lately. It would explain a whole lot and give me something to fight possible MS, keep cancer in remission and so on. Would love to hear if the yoghurt production helped anyone with neurological issues, similar to MS? They tell you to cut out dairy, well for me it was always beneficial. But not saying store bought milk, we are blessed to have our own goats. Healthy foods and with that a healthy microbiome seem to be the road for me. I have nothing to lose🙏

[peterdroubay]

So happy to see this bright man be understanding the new frontier, how to feed our microbes for best health; It isn't just all getting off gluten, even this is part of it.

[soul-espiritu]

Have seen this video many times by now AND everytine I learn More AND More, thank you mucho😇

[Deepseaotter]

Outstanding interview Jesse! Bought Wheat Belly, years ago, and ever since have trusted Dr Davis’s opinion. The man is a book of walking, talking knowledge! After hearing this I’m concerned for my micro biome. Besides the usual antibiotics throughout life etc, I went keto/ carnivore for awhile, lost 70 pounds, feel so much better, but didn’t realize the effect it can have on microbiome 😢 After this interview, I feel I have the tools and knowledge to do what I can to improve my health even further! Thank you for sharing all this!

[lordfancourt]

Dr. Davis is the smartest guy around. And he explains things in clear, understandable terms. Check out his yogurt recipe - it really improves one's health.
