I’ve seen Pomengrante peel mentioned so many times. How do you use it since I take so many pill supplements that I’m trying to find ways to consume nutrients in the food form?

The inner pith can be used minced in garlic like amounts roughly. 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh per serving is a medicinal amount. I might have it on salad or cook some in soup, last 10-20 minutes of cook time. Don't overheat for medicinal effects to remain.

Excellent article. We’ll have Dr. Sabine Hazan two Mondays from now discussing her studies live at the IPAK-EDU Director’s Science Webinar. This article does a super job highlighting a few of the major points.

Jennifer's readers can also check out the summer Microbiome Master Class - 8 instructors! You WILL know up-to-date microbiome science and clinical knowledge.

Next Monday, we are confirming Dr. Mahin Khatami. If you’ve already signed up, you are good. The next two Science Webinars are going to be important!

I think it would be more accurate to say SARS-CoV2 has bacteriophage properties than to say it IS a bacteriophage. AFAIK, it is still classified as a virus, despite its chimeric nature.

Thanks 🙏

Jargon helps until it doesn't. Pet peeve is Twitter battles over definition minutia. Language is a living thing somewhat. We need to ask each other how we are defining that word rather than have petty arguments - you're wrong, no you are, ...let's take this to the grade school playground, shall we? Me on a tangent. Not really about bacteriophage. I don't know exactly what they are considered to be.

Truth is the first casualty in war.

The Germans got crushed in WWI for losing the battle of words (Propaganda) and were convinced not to lose again in WWII.

Those old crims moved to the US and USSR post-WWII and have raised propaganda through deceptive redefinition to an artform:

- vaccination

- herd immunity

- I trust TheScience

- conspiracy theory

- trans/fluid/whatever

- truther

- normie

The list goes on and on.

Agreed, language is a living thing, and usage often dictates meaning and interpretation.

And yet, language matters.

No desire to take it to the playground.

Have a great day!

Thanks! Language certainly matters. I was just thinking outloud.

Clear definitions help a lot and sometimes the jargon is using a common word in a different way and that leads to the nitpicking by jargon defenders I think. The no Virus crowd got a little tiresome. An exosome by another name?

Hope you have a nice day too!

Why is it called denutrients? Is it prebiotics? I.e. not nutrient for us but for the probiotics?

@JennyDepew was already taken on Twitter.

It is a spin on "All about the bass", song popular at the time I needed a new Twitter handle.

All about de nutrients.

'de' for "the" nutrients.

* nothing to do with prebiotic or any "real" term.

And will ivermectin treatment and different dewormers help if the human body has no or little biome left after anti bioticums have been prescribed?

Do you cover akkermansia loss somewhere in your articles as well. I know someone who is extremely constipated since she had started using metformin, (after her sugar went so high and wouldn't resettle, starting with a severe bladder infection and anti biotics), she had to take to fix the bladder infection. Usually metformin cause diarree from what i read, and not necessarily constipation.
