(sigh) I understand the dedication behind your crusade.
If I use my mind's eye alone, I understand that modern medicine has progressed along with other STEM fields. Yet I am not a mind-in-a-vat, or the direct benefactor of such intervention ... yet.
Seeing the results of such invasive surgery, it almost appears that the more specialized the intervention becomes, the more collective hubris among the specialists rises, and the more the law of unintended consequences is outsourced to the most helpless ... and with disastrous results.
About a year ago, I came across a Quora 'answer' that left me in tears. To serve as a constant reminder, I replaced the photo in my Facebook avatar with a photo from that answer. It is a colorized portrait photo of Czeslawa Kwoka, a Polish Catholic girl, 14 years old (about the same age as my students). She died in the Auschwitz extermination camp on 18 February 1943 with an injection of phenol into her heart ... outsourced as a zero-sum game loss, to keep the blood line of the 'beautiful' people pure.
I really can't pinpoint the most horrific variable of what it means to be a human being. But in seeing that photo of your son, I can't help but see all of humanity as an ongoing 'experiment' of the most personally ambitious against the rest of us. And the photo of your son, similar to my photo of Czeslawa, though more personal, as a symbol for our collective self-destructive fate.
Now fast approaching the end of my shelf life as a wage-slave for those who have successfully gamed the system ... I can see my aging self on a bed or a gurney, a lab-rat for a young ambitious doctor who will be using me as one of an ongoing line of training dummies, or just another routine task for a worked-to-the-bone nurse ... reinserting a catheter in me, while she day-dreams of when she can retire.
Meanwhile, some of the teachers wonder why I look for, and tend to focus on the weaker students in the class. Empathy? Imagination? Habit? Ideals? I can't pin that down either. But instinctively, I know that at some time in our all too brief lives, we are all helpless infants ... dependent on the kindness of strangers.
Such beautiful compassion and supportive thoughts, my thanks, and a loving reply to Heidi and her son’s predicament which I can now appreciate to be 💯 confronting, with the painful understanding of its iatrogenic origins buried in the monstrosity they today call medicine. May these hideous medical psychopaths lie as a lab rats on their own training beds.
Thank you Leanne. I feel almost ashamed, as time and empahy, spun into words, are all I can share with Heidi. I fight, and imagine you fight, to keep our humanity. Heidi has to do the fighting for two. I don't know if I could be so strong and persistent.
I only learned the word 'iatrogenic' from Toby's susbstack a few months ago. I know willing ignorance is a bed fellow with sociopathic evil, but that word, along with 'kunlangeta' (thanks to Mathew Crawford), are two words that I wish I hadn't needed to learn.
We are in for the fight of our lives Leanne. But in this forever war of mankind against its own worst nature, maybe that has always been the case.
Take care, and along with Heidi, keep in touch. We have only each other to keep to the straight and narrow. 🥰
LOL. ... Thank you Dar. That IS a word I know, and thanks to your reminder, realized that Japan Inc. had just about driven it out of me. Come to think of it, I can't think of a good Japanese translation for it either, but it is something I needed to read and remember ... again ... and again.
Thank you Steven. Your stories always inspire deep feelings, a feeling of being understood and understanding. Bless you for your kindness to others and sharing parts of yourself with me and others. Xoxo ❤
Hey Heidi! Absolutely no need for apologies between us. Between taking care of your son ... and a whole world crumbling around us, we few are like fireflies in the twilight. I'm thankful for when out paths cross. You have my e-mail, but I also know you have the weight of a long fight. When you are busy or in despair, like I sometimes am, I can understand if time passes between our brief moments of glow. I am in awe of a few others who are beginning to light bonfires ... and despair at what their light is revealing. What has long been lurking in the shadows is growing more gruesome by the day. Even a few weeks ago, although I intellectually understood the evil around us, it is reaching such a visceral level now ... I shudder to imagine my mindset a month from now. Keep up the fight Heidi. For all of our sakes.
I'm sorry this has happened to your son, and that it happens at all. I feel emotionally AND physically angry reading this. I had my eyes opened back in the early 2000's after the birth of my son caused me to start thinking about pharma and our approach to health, as a society. Recently I've realised my eyes have remained half-closed.
Thank you. I have liked it because of your raw honesty and the truth of it. But it grieves me very much to hear this. My wife and I have a friend who had her thyroid removed because of some issue re hormone levels I believe.
I know it was not necessary as now I understand the big pharma scam, it is quite vile. The thyroid is the body's shield which is what thyroid means in Greek.
My wife (now 68) has been on synthyroid since her late teens for hypothyroidism. About 30 years ago, we had a dog that had a thyroid condition and the vet recommended synthyroid. It was the exact same medication that my wife took. However, I could buy a year's supply for the dog equal to what my wife's monthly co-pay was. It's tempting to put on a collar, get my rabies shot and start seeing a vet!
I gather vets are better trained than doctors. Still, I wouldn't get any vaccines now I know they are all pointless at best, harmful at worst. I wouldn't give them to a dog let alone a human!
And the new vets push vaxes just like docs do. No rabies vax on indoor 16 year old cat? We cannot see cat til she's rabies vaxxed. Make sense? Not AT ALL.
Yes, all vaccines for man or beast make no sense. In the UK there is a new law the Tory government sneaked in to microchip all owned cats. Despicable money grubbing control, freaks.
My grandson was born with ASD and VSD, along with a barely functioning pulmonary valve. I was there for his surgeries and entire inpatient stays.
I, too, have pics of my grandson in the ICU, just like you. Heart wrenching. My grandson crashed, shortly after his first open heart surgery, an hr after being in the ICU. They couldn't close him up due to all the swelling from being on bypass so long. Standing there, the surgeon had to rush to his bedside, and inject my grandson's heart to bring him back to life. Terrifying and traumatizing.
I had no idea about this barbaric practice of removing the thymus, however, I'd bet my life they stole my grandson's, too. I'm sending this info and article to my daughter. She has to know. We both need to know if this happened to Logan, my grandson. I'm very worried, as he's always been immunocompromised, catches colds etc so easily, along with having severe food allergies.
This madness just has to stop.
Thank you so much, Heidi.
Please know you, your son, and family, will remain in my daily prayers. 🙏💞😘
Thank you Denise. 🙏❤ If you can, get all medical records before confronting any doctor. It should be in them.
My son also crashed right after. There are no words for the pain I felt. Then he developed chylothorax, which is deadly, due to his thymectomy. Breast milk poured out his chest cavity into the drainage tubes. He had to be on MCT oil formula for many months. I couldn't breast feed him any more.
2 years later I went in for genetics and they tested him for DiGeorge syndrome genetic defect... which means born without a thymus. They had the audacity to test him for what they caused. He was negative if coarse, because he had a thymus. They stole it.
Yes, I most certainly will be encouraging my daughter to obtain all records. She's in Colorado now, and his first couple of surgeries were done in Chicago - Christ Hope Children's Hospital. Regardless, I worked in Medical Records ( other healthcare positions as well), so I know she can obtain those records. It's imperative she does this. It would explain years of my grandson's ongoing health issues.
Question:. We're you ever able to pursue any legal action over this, being this was done without your knowledge or consent? Also, wondering about any statute of limitation clauses.
I'm very sorry this happened, to your family, and mine. The worry and hardships alone, are enough to break anyone. I'm convinced, have zero doubt, my daughter had a breakdown over this trauma, too. A wonderful mother, however, she's never been quite herself since. Understandably so.
I proclaim complete restoration of health for your son, and your entire family, my grandson, now my granddaughter and my entire family, a hedge of protection around all of us, provision for all of our needs, abundant life, love, prosperity, good health, and happiness, all the days of our live's. I pray God gives you all the desires of your heart, and forever keeps all of you wrapped tightly within His loving arms.
I was told since thymectomy is common practice it's legal however I question it more as the years go by. I think the biggest obstacle is getting an expert doctor to testify on your behalf.
Gosh, Idk how this could be common practice, or legal. Then again, I've never known, nor asked any cardiac surgeon over this either.
To me, as an example, it's almost equivalent to going in to have a cyst removed from an ovary, only to discover they'd taken both ovaries and/or both fallopian tubes. That is, of course, unless they'd foretold that could be a possibility. Without informing you of all risks, protocols and possible outcomes, how could anyone give informed consent?
Yeesh. I suppose you're right, though. Without an expert Dr., also a great attorney, I imagine it would be tough to beat, not only be very costly, too. Unless, one were to find an excellent attorney to do this with no retainer fees, and a reasonable settlement agreement, or, do it Pro Bono.
Guess we'll just have to investigate further, and weigh all options, after gathering all records and info needed.
No problem & no worries sweet Heidi. I thank you for the info you provided me over this horrific practice and very important subject. Thanks to you, I've done a lot of research on this topic since, to educate myself and my daughter, over this matter, in which I was totally unaware of beforehand. You and your family will continue to remain in my prayers.
Much love and many blessings to you and yours.🙏💗😘🌷
At times, I cannot face it. I never run out of tears, the capacity to lose my strength over what's happened to Daniel and how sick, cruel medical society is.
I can only imagine. The combination of documented evidence, published admissions, denial of the issue, and presumed indifference has me in fits—and I do not even have the burden you carry. I am envisioning that one day this will be acknowledged and the practice stopped. It is so wrong.
Your work *will* make a difference. In small ways, it already has. ❤️
I just read this, to follow up on your latest comment to me on Sage's substack (which I responded to, yet now both of our comments are not there!). So anyway, now I have a clearer idea of the context of your story. I'm so sorry for what you and your son have endured at the hands of the "medical profession". Should you want to reach out to me, you can contact me through my website joaniehiggs.com
The sad thing about medicine is how compartmentalized it has become. If surgeons knew current immunology they'd know how important the thymus is. If it is in the way of access to the heart it probably would only add an hour extra to the surgery to just move the thymus to the side or transplant it somewhere else like beside the spleen or beside the right lung.
I would love if this was the only problem but from what I have seen it's gone too far. Even the USA Immunodeficiency Foundation when I contacted them to see if they would help my son and I shared medical articles on the harmful effects of thymectomy said they spoke with a doctor and he said thymectomy isnt harmful. The foundation which is supposed to protect people like my son and help raise awareness abandoned us all.
Doctors I contacted refused to respond. I contacted McCullough, Epoch, RFKjr and others multiple times, no response. I can only imagine all of them know a hospital or cardiac surgeon they need to protect from exposing the truth.
All they need is to shut one mom up, me, and all their problems disappear. They blocked me from all outlets exposing this. I even tried contacting people who expose organ removal in China, talk show hosts, news outlets, even with a humble attitude, even throwing them a bone and saying, let's pretend you didnt know it harmed them and just stop it from happening now, help the people who had their thymuses taken. No one cares. No one wants to help these children.
The only doctor willing to help my son, an immunologist I hand picked from UCIrvine because he wrote many medical articles on curing Autistic children with IVIG, he was cash pay only, did not take my sons insurance and would not help him after I paid for the immune testing. I got referrals to other immunologists under my sons insurance and they refused to help.
No one cares. Maybe they would care if people wanted to forgive the past and start a giant foundation to raise awareness, pouring money into their research coffers and doing nothing to actually help.
Thymus you find on the market is animal usually bovine or porcine. I've purchaded many forms for my son. Most dont work though.
Organ harvesting of aborted babies is huge. They sell thymuses to pharmaceutical companies to make anti rejection meds, to research hospitals for lab rat and human studies.
A hospital was caught selling live babies thymus organs from heart surgery to research hospitals. They all do it. This was just the only hospital called out for it.
My son had surgery at UCLA which is a major research hospital. I would have been ecstatic to pay them to put my sons thymus back, to never litigate it just set it to the side during surgery. He also suffered a deadly complication due to thymectomy called chylothorax where lymph floods into the chest cavity risking infections and forcing babies to be placed on a fat free formula made with MCT oil in order to survive. I had to stop breast feeding.
See links below to organ harvesting scandal at hospital.
"Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool said thymus glands removed from youngsters during complex heart operations were sent to the company for research purposes between 1991 and 1993"
My sister had open heart in 1973 first of 1,000 patients youngest at Baylor Medical Center in TX. Amazing work, kept her healthy till she needed 40 years plus new surgery on heart and got a pigs valve. Stopped eating pork/bacon because of the pig's sacrifice. Sister has no real thymus... humm...
Thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful story. I'm so happy for your sister's success and good health. 🙏💞
People from early heart surgeries appprox pre 1975 did not have their thymus removed.
As my bioethics book described, it was considered unethical to remove the thymus organ. All studies showed it is harmful. I've met many people who had successful heart surgeries without thymectomy, prior to when they removed the thymus, more proof it is not necessary.
Hi Heidi, very interested in learning more of what you have done to help your son's immunity. I have been presented with a similar case. This beautiful young girl has Noonan syndrome and underwent open heart surgery early in life and subsequently had her thymus removed. Mom had no idea until researching after I asked...I would have not asked had I not come across your story. Lord's hand is always moving and I'm extremely thankful for finding you albeit under these sad circumstances. Blessings to you and yours, and I sincerely appreciate your time.
Full spectrum vitamin K might be a good option (k2 doesnt affect clotting so it needs to be more than k2). Also spinal abnormalities I would recommend high dose vitamin D along with K.
The best immune balancing supplement is Mannatech Ambrotose original plus thymic protein A, also known as pro boost. This doesnt address significant immunodeficiency or failure to thrive but it helps balance the immune cells away from autoimmune. My sons blood labs showed this within 6 months. Ambrotose contains cell surface sugars. I prefer the one without wakame.
Unfortunately pharma grade immune therapies aren't widely available. I will list option below which helped my son but I also recommend these supplements
Zinc Picolinate 100mg/day
If she is suffering with gastrointestinal inflammation- sulforaphane, mastic gum.
If she has failure to thrive FTT I highly recommend trying ivermectin which helped my son a lot. His entire life pre pandemic he was FTT until he got on ivermectin prophylaxis. It also benefits gut microbiome. I did try seacure protein, hydrolyzed white fish protein which is easy to digest and in medical studies benefited children with FTT.
Colostrum with transfer factor plus a probiotic.
Aller-7 may help if she has allergies.
Some antiaging MD doctors compound thymic alpha 1 injections. I found one who ships. You can also find thymic protein injections yourself via Purerawz online. I've ordered from them before.
One of the best I have found but it isnt easily accessible is thymomodulin. It works orally which most thymus extracts do not. In studies it cured children of chronic respiratory infections and asthma. It's a hidden cure. They refuse to acknowledge so much of what people are suffering from is immune dysfunction.
Carnitine may be of benefit
I hesitate to recommend glutathione or NAC because of her Noonan syndrome
Hopefully something I've mentioned may help her. 🙏
Fascinating. Ivermectin's many uses never ceases to amaze. Fortunately, we work with a very responsive compounding pharmacy where I'm located. I'll look more deeply into it's relationship with the microbiome.
My familiarity with Noonan syndrome is limited, and I appreciate the link regarding the Factor XIII relationship.
Very familiar with mastic gum, using often in patients with ulcers of bacterial origin. Not so much with sulforaphane, but quickly reading about it, I'm wondering how I missed this one. On a side note, Stephanie Seneff has some great research on sulfur deficiency.
I've been doing more research on fermented products, their effect on the microbiome and immune cells. My son had a bad reaction to fermenting which I did, along with growing organic foods, sprouts and juicing vegetables. I'd really like to explore this more, try new things.
I personally ferment and teach patients how instead of buying probiotic products. It's much less expensive and can produce far superior results in my experience. Kvass, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, and kraut are amazing and delicious, especially when fermented directly from your personal organic garden. By no means do they serve as a panacea but the results are there without question.
"The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Katz is a phenomenal resource if you have not read it.
Thank you Ty. 🙏💞
I hope your son is doing well. 🙏
I'm so sorry, Heidi.
Thank you cmpalmer ❤🙏
Hi Heidi.
That last photo. I am almost afraid to ask, but is that your son?
Yes. 😪🙏💕
Thank you Robin 💞🌹
(sigh) I understand the dedication behind your crusade.

here ya go, Steve...a 3rd bon mot... knowyourmeme.com /memes/cultures/chutzpah
Chutzpah by De Jo. Origin: hebrew
About
Chutzpah is a word that describes a positive quality in jewish culture.
It has no clear translation and has no analogues in other languages,
but closest words
to describe the meaning would be "insolence", "greed" and "impudence",
total denial
of personal responsibility and conscience.
But unlike of those words it has positive meaning in hebrew.
Among jews chutzpah means impudence
beyond the line
that less successful people think as [ethically] acceptable,
thus distinguishes a successful person from the unsuccessful
and allows you
to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles,
such as obvious wrongness.
Examples
Leo Rosten in The Joys of Yiddish
gives
such anecdotal example of chutzpah:
"that quality enshrined in a man who,
having killed
his mother and father,
throws himself
on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan".
LOL. ... Thank you Dar. That IS a word I know, and thanks to your reminder, realized that Japan Inc. had just about driven it out of me. Come to think of it, I can't think of a good Japanese translation for it either, but it is something I needed to read and remember ... again ... and again.
Much thanks from Japan!

I encourage you to keep the faith for a better medical system in the near future for all of humanity.
Courage begets courage.

Thank you for sharing your and your son's story Heidi. I'm sorry for what they did to your boy.
By now, it doesn't surprise me that "better access" is a reasoning. The God complex absolutely leans towards psychopathy.
Thank you Unbekoming. I completely agree.
Oh Dear God, Heidi...I can so relate to this.

Hello Heidi,
I just read this, to follow up on your latest comment to me on Sage's substack (which I responded to, yet now both of our comments are not there!). So anyway, now I have a clearer idea of the context of your story. I'm so sorry for what you and your son have endured at the hands of the "medical profession". Should you want to reach out to me, you can contact me through my website joaniehiggs.com
Thank you Joanie 🙏❤

I started down the AlChem Rabbit hole and just got over my head.
Al Chem is supposedly staffed with a lot of Ukraine ex-bioweapon scientists. It is adjacent to Resilience in FL. Resilience is CIA.
Thank you again for this 🙏
😘
The sad thing about medicine is how compartmentalized it has become. If surgeons knew current immunology they'd know how important the thymus is. If it is in the way of access to the heart it probably would only add an hour extra to the surgery to just move the thymus to the side or transplant it somewhere else like beside the spleen or beside the right lung.
I would love if this was the only problem but from what I have seen it's gone too far. Even the USA Immunodeficiency Foundation when I contacted them to see if they would help my son and I shared medical articles on the harmful effects of thymectomy said they spoke with a doctor and he said thymectomy isnt harmful. The foundation which is supposed to protect people like my son and help raise awareness abandoned us all.
Doctors I contacted refused to respond. I contacted McCullough, Epoch, RFKjr and others multiple times, no response. I can only imagine all of them know a hospital or cardiac surgeon they need to protect from exposing the truth.
All they need is to shut one mom up, me, and all their problems disappear. They blocked me from all outlets exposing this. I even tried contacting people who expose organ removal in China, talk show hosts, news outlets, even with a humble attitude, even throwing them a bone and saying, let's pretend you didnt know it harmed them and just stop it from happening now, help the people who had their thymuses taken. No one cares. No one wants to help these children.
The only doctor willing to help my son, an immunologist I hand picked from UCIrvine because he wrote many medical articles on curing Autistic children with IVIG, he was cash pay only, did not take my sons insurance and would not help him after I paid for the immune testing. I got referrals to other immunologists under my sons insurance and they refused to help.
No one cares. Maybe they would care if people wanted to forgive the past and start a giant foundation to raise awareness, pouring money into their research coffers and doing nothing to actually help.
medicine has fallen so far.
Heidi, this is the first I have heard of this…read your comments the other day on Sage Hana and subscribed.
I wonder if the thymus isn’t taken from aborted babies. Hence late term abortions perhaps providing more parts.
A number of beauty products are said to contain thymus. Perhaps from animals? Humans? Kinda sounds like the fountain of youth adrenochrome theory.
Anyway I admire your fight and research on behalf of your son, and others.
Thank you Cynthia.
Thymus you find on the market is animal usually bovine or porcine. I've purchaded many forms for my son. Most dont work though.
Organ harvesting of aborted babies is huge. They sell thymuses to pharmaceutical companies to make anti rejection meds, to research hospitals for lab rat and human studies.
A hospital was caught selling live babies thymus organs from heart surgery to research hospitals. They all do it. This was just the only hospital called out for it.
My son had surgery at UCLA which is a major research hospital. I would have been ecstatic to pay them to put my sons thymus back, to never litigate it just set it to the side during surgery. He also suffered a deadly complication due to thymectomy called chylothorax where lymph floods into the chest cavity risking infections and forcing babies to be placed on a fat free formula made with MCT oil in order to survive. I had to stop breast feeding.
See links below to organ harvesting scandal at hospital.
"Body parts now taken from living children"

"Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool said thymus glands removed from youngsters during complex heart operations were sent to the company for research purposes between 1991 and 1993"
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2001/jan/26/alderhey.uknews
"... had to stop breast feeding."
What a heartbreak. 😭 Atop everything else.
My sister had open heart in 1973 first of 1,000 patients youngest at Baylor Medical Center in TX. Amazing work, kept her healthy till she needed 40 years plus new surgery on heart and got a pigs valve. Stopped eating pork/bacon because of the pig's sacrifice. Sister has no real thymus... humm...
Thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful story. I'm so happy for your sister's success and good health. 🙏💞
People from early heart surgeries appprox pre 1975 did not have their thymus removed.
As my bioethics book described, it was considered unethical to remove the thymus organ. All studies showed it is harmful. I've met many people who had successful heart surgeries without thymectomy, prior to when they removed the thymus, more proof it is not necessary.
Hi Heidi, very interested in learning more of what you have done to help your son's immunity. I have been presented with a similar case. This beautiful young girl has Noonan syndrome and underwent open heart surgery early in life and subsequently had her thymus removed. Mom had no idea until researching after I asked...I would have not asked had I not come across your story. Lord's hand is always moving and I'm extremely thankful for finding you albeit under these sad circumstances. Blessings to you and yours, and I sincerely appreciate your time.
Hi Nick. I did a bit of research which I'm sure you've already done but I thought I would address it anyway.
Factor XIII Deficiency Associated With Noonan Syndrome
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8076579/
Full spectrum vitamin K might be a good option (k2 doesnt affect clotting so it needs to be more than k2). Also spinal abnormalities I would recommend high dose vitamin D along with K.
The best immune balancing supplement is Mannatech Ambrotose original plus thymic protein A, also known as pro boost. This doesnt address significant immunodeficiency or failure to thrive but it helps balance the immune cells away from autoimmune. My sons blood labs showed this within 6 months. Ambrotose contains cell surface sugars. I prefer the one without wakame.
Unfortunately pharma grade immune therapies aren't widely available. I will list option below which helped my son but I also recommend these supplements
Zinc Picolinate 100mg/day
If she is suffering with gastrointestinal inflammation- sulforaphane, mastic gum.
If she has failure to thrive FTT I highly recommend trying ivermectin which helped my son a lot. His entire life pre pandemic he was FTT until he got on ivermectin prophylaxis. It also benefits gut microbiome. I did try seacure protein, hydrolyzed white fish protein which is easy to digest and in medical studies benefited children with FTT.
Colostrum with transfer factor plus a probiotic.
Aller-7 may help if she has allergies.
Some antiaging MD doctors compound thymic alpha 1 injections. I found one who ships. You can also find thymic protein injections yourself via Purerawz online. I've ordered from them before.
One of the best I have found but it isnt easily accessible is thymomodulin. It works orally which most thymus extracts do not. In studies it cured children of chronic respiratory infections and asthma. It's a hidden cure. They refuse to acknowledge so much of what people are suffering from is immune dysfunction.
Carnitine may be of benefit
I hesitate to recommend glutathione or NAC because of her Noonan syndrome
Hopefully something I've mentioned may help her. 🙏
Fascinating. Ivermectin's many uses never ceases to amaze. Fortunately, we work with a very responsive compounding pharmacy where I'm located. I'll look more deeply into it's relationship with the microbiome.
My familiarity with Noonan syndrome is limited, and I appreciate the link regarding the Factor XIII relationship.
Very familiar with mastic gum, using often in patients with ulcers of bacterial origin. Not so much with sulforaphane, but quickly reading about it, I'm wondering how I missed this one. On a side note, Stephanie Seneff has some great research on sulfur deficiency.
You've given me a lot to explore and I thank you!
I've been doing more research on fermented products, their effect on the microbiome and immune cells. My son had a bad reaction to fermenting which I did, along with growing organic foods, sprouts and juicing vegetables. I'd really like to explore this more, try new things.
Prebiotics modulate immune cells.

I personally ferment and teach patients how instead of buying probiotic products. It's much less expensive and can produce far superior results in my experience. Kvass, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, and kraut are amazing and delicious, especially when fermented directly from your personal organic garden. By no means do they serve as a panacea but the results are there without question.
"The Art of Fermentation" by Sandor Katz is a phenomenal resource if you have not read it.
Thanks for the link!
You're welcome Nick! Thank you for the book recommendation! 🙏😍
You're a wealth of information.
I'm gobbling.
