Dr. Joshua Gelber2023-03-02T10:37:14-05:00

While digestion is a simple concept, it’s also a complex network of organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients.

These tend to overgrow (and overpower) the good gut bacteria. In one study, UWO researcher Dr.MacFabe was able to produce autism-like symptoms in rats by injecting them with a fatty acid produced [...]
