Session Two: The Curious Case of Prevotella - Panel Discussion

[@DietArchitect]

Wonderful presentation-I watched the other one too, since I'm very interested in prevotella. I was wondering if you've looked into toxoplasma gondii. It's transmitted by oral sex, and people with toxoplasma are also high in prevotella. I think this is because prevotella bacteria provide the oligosaccharides, from mucin, for t. gondii's cyst, so it would increase infection. Infection with t. gondii is also associated with homosexual acts, so it's likely that the MSM men had t. gondii. Also, it's pretty interesting that toxoplasma originated in Mesopotamia, just when people started eating grains! I have a lot more information on t. gondii-I think it's really important to raise awareness of t. gondii so people will be tested for it more often.

Only yesterday I read about the shot gun tests. Did a regular 16s pcr tests lately where they identified 248 species and now I am here trying to figure out what to do but I think we know nothing of all those billion hidden microorganisms in us. 😂 High prevotella here btw.
