SIBO Success Story Needed

 

I’ve written a new book about the microbiome that will be released in February, 2022. As many readers of the Wheat Belly Blog know, you can count on me to provide unique and original ideas that you cannot obtain anywhere else. You can find plenty of copycats out there but, if you want to hear it first and hear it right, you can rely on the information I provide. And much of it is literally life-changing, like my Lactobacillus reuteri yogurt that, made using the modified methods I developed, yields youth-preserving, age-reversing effects such as reduced skin wrinkles, accelerated healing, restoration of youthful strength and muscle, and increased libido. Beyond the unique properties of this species/strain, another reason why this yogurt packs such a wallop of benefits is because the prolonged fermentation and addition of prebiotic fiber to the fermenting mixture yield huge bacterial counts, 262 billion per 1/2-cup serving on our last flow cytometry measure.

I need a SIBO success story to include in the book, a personal story of how you beat SIBO using some of the concepts I advocate, such as use of the AIRE device to detect H2 gas on the breath, use of the herbal antibiotics I recommend, or consumption of the SIBO yogurt that I created that has more and more people reversing abnormal breath H2 and being freed of SIBO health phenomena.

If I include your story in the new book, I shall have a copy of the book sent to you (without charge, of course) when it becomes available in early 2022. Post your story as a comment here in the Wheat Belly Blog, as a post in the Wheat Belly Facebook page, the private Undoctored Inner Circle Facebook page, or private message me via Facebook. Just tell me the basics of your story; I’ll come back to you for more details.

Wouldn’t you love to see this ad run during TV morning news?

 

Watch TV morning news and nearly half the commercials are direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug ads. Watch evening news and you will likewise be inundated by drug commercials. They all follow the same script: People living their lives, having fun, happy, while the potential side-effects of these drugs are recited. The happy visuals serve to make the side-effects mentioned seem remote.

So I thought we should parody a DTC drug ad. This is not for any drug; it’s for how to avoid being exploited by the healthcare system and by doctors. Sure, we need them when there is injury, infection, or a genetic condition. For the vast majority of common chronic modern health issues such as high blood pressure, fatty liver, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and numerous other common chronic health conditions, you can obtain results that are superior to what is passed off as “health” by doctors and the healthcare system.

I therefore asked my filmmaking friends in San Diego, Ron and Karen Cook, who also produced all the wonderful Wheat Belly and Undoctored success story video interviews, if they would be interested in making an Undoctored “drug’ ad. This is the terrific result they came up with.

DTC ads don’t promote drugs that cost $2, $5, or $10. These are drugs that typically cost $4000 per month, $40,000 to $100,000 per year. Imagine if the ad for Skyrizi, a drug for psoriasis, had to include its cost: $52,609.60 every 3 months. Oh, but good news: If you use one of the discounting services, you can save 47% off the retail price and get your prescription for only $27,561.40!

Personally, I find the whole world of DTC drug advertising abhorrent. It drives up healthcare costs, it encourages use of higher cost products, it obscures the fact that genuine health is achievable without costly prescription drugs. The biggest downside, however, is that now nearly all major media outlets, broadcast and print, are no longer willing to air any content that could be potentially antagonistic to their biggest advertiser: Big Pharma. You may have noticed that, over the last few years, book authors (such as myself) who write on health topics, investigative TV news reports on the problems in healthcare, reports on the crippling costs of healthcare, are no longer aired. There are virtually zero reports on the awful, exploitative, and financially crippling industry called American healthcare. And anyone who might say something antagonistic to Big Media’s number one advertiser are now effectively blacklisted.

I can therefore only hope that messages of truth like this “drug ad” strike a chord and help everyone realize that health is something you achieve on your own without the interference of the doctor or healthcare system.
