The Gut-Lung Axis and GERD

Below, I’ll provide additional details on the link between gut dysbiosis, acid reflux (GERD), and asthma, focusing on recent research (2023–2025) on the gut-lung axis and practical strategies for managing GERD in the context of dysbiosis, tailored to a client’s situation (Candida overgrowth, leaky gut, long-term PPI, corticosteroid, antibiotic, and thyroid medication use). I’ve incorporated […]

The Link Between Gut Dysbiosis, GERD and Asthma

Could there be a link between gut dysbiosis, GERD and asthma? Yes. There is a significant and increasingly recognized link between gut dysbiosis, acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD), and asthma. These conditions can interact through complex physiological mechanisms, including inflammation, immune dysregulation, and the gut-lung axis. Below is a concise explanation of their connections, […]

Natural Remedies for Candida

What are some natural remedies for internal candida that manifests with thrush in the mouth and also in the vaginal tract? Candida overgrowth, manifesting as oral thrush or vaginal yeast infections, is usually caused by long-term use of antibiotics or chemotherapy, no probiotic replacement, high sugar and/or processed food, and low fiber consumption. It is […]

Prostate Cancer Prevention

Preventing prostate cancer involves lifestyle, dietary, and medical strategies that reduce risk factors based on current evidence. Below, I summarize key approaches, supported by studies from peer-reviewed sources and web results, focusing on natural methods as per your previous query. I include specific findings, limitations, and practical recommendations, ensuring a comprehensive yet concise response. All […]

Asthma medication, Antacids and Your Microbiome

The connection between asthma medication, proton pump inhibitors, and the Microbiome is explained in detail below, based on these three questions: 1. Can asthma medication, including a nebulizer, negatively affect a person’s microbiome? 2. What happens to the low levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach that are reduced by proton pump inhibitors or antacid […]

Asthma, Low Immunity and Acid Reflux

Can asthma, low immunity, and acid reflux be all connected and part of a vicious circle? Let us look at their causes, symptoms, and natural treatments. Below, I will outline each condition separately, followed by natural approaches for individual or in combination management. The information focuses on evidence-based natural strategies while acknowledging the need for […]

The Valsalva Maneuver in Supraventricular Tachycardia

The Valsalva maneuver is a non-invasive technique used to stimulate the vagus nerve, primarily to slow a rapid heart rate, such as in supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), or for diagnostic purposes. It involves forceful exhalation against a closed airway, which increases intrathoracic pressure and triggers the vagus nerve to enhance parasympathetic activity, slowing heart rate. My […]

Probiotics for Parkinson’s Disease

Probiotics are proven to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and alleviate symptoms. Let’s examine the relationship between the gut microbiota, the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the gut-brain axis, and the vagus nerve in Parkinson’s disease, with a focus on its mechanisms, recent research (2020–2025), and connections to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and vagus […]

Probiotics for Alzheimer’s Disease

This is an overview of probiotics for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), focusing on their mechanisms, recent research (2020–2025), and connections to the BBB (Blood-Brain Barrier) and vagus nerve. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits, including potential neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This article integrates insights and relevant findings, […]

Prostate Health

Maintaining prostate health naturally involves lifestyle and dietary choices that support overall wellness. Here are evidence-based approaches: Diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables: Tomatoes (rich in lycopene), cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli), and berries contain antioxidants that may reduce prostate inflammation. Healthy fats: Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds) have […]
