Wow, super interesting because it’s covered a few things that I’ve only recently learned about.
Just yesterday I was reading about the vagus nerve and how stimulating seems to play an important role in dealing with autoimmune diseases. However they were using electronic devices costing $$$ to attach to your ear to give pulses at set frequencies and durations to stimulate the nerve. This put me off but I’d like to learn more about yoga stimulating it?
Now the reason I came across this was because I’ve recently started Helminthic therapy. This is where I introduce a small number of human hookworms (Necator americanus) to my body in order to help with my coeliac disease (luckily I don’t suffer poor health because I stick to the diet). I was particularly interested in hosting the hookworms as I am a farmer and as part of the hookworm’s life cycle they need to be in the soil, so the statement “healthy soil, healthy humans” is quite literal!
Now I learned all this from a group of people, often suffering multiple illnesses and multiple auto-immune diseases who have taken it upon themselves to self treat because modern medicine isn’t working.
The suggestion of L. reuteri also came up as a way to improve one’s mood, and even though these days I’d say I’m pretty happy, the idea that I could eat yogurt that might play with my mood was instantly something I had to try. I’ve ordered some probiotics and will pick them up this weekend on a trip to the city and make a 36 hour yogurt with them. I might be bouncing with joy (and microbes) this time next week 😂
