Re: I wonder ,,Bacteroides fragilis P.S. ---Penny-

[Guest guest]

I agree with Penny on this-

but also would like to clarify that one can have LOCALIZED problems

and/or SYSTEMIC inflammation - either one- or both together -

My inflammation was systemic- and I had several tissue biopsys of

several organs during 2 operations which proved that - inflammation

everywhere- systemic. (and my gut was pretty screwed up & this was

for many years before i ever took abx). But I was trying to reduce

the inflammation (before I knew what the root cause was) with

alternative therapies.
