I found this very interesting. I was a twin myself and knew people with MS., and I thought it was a baffling disease and the cause wasn't understood very well. My twin brother had many health problems like obesity, heart problems, and eventually cancer which he died of 18 yrs ago. We were very different in personality and diet. I was very active, studied nutrition, and tried to eat well, whereas my brother ate a lot of fast food and processed meat. He thought meat was the healthiest food but I became wary of it myself.
His wife died of MS. very quickly, and shortly after he ended up in hospital with heart disease and then fast acting colon cancer. This was well before covid, so it wasn't that. He had faith in the medical establishment but I didn't, and I tried to keep far away from hospitals.
I started researching cancer after that which put me on a path to shun and distrust the pharma backed system. I learned a lot in my journey and had to change my views about many assumptions I had. When I started learning about the microbiome it was like an epiphany. It explained and made sense of many different health outcomes, and I saw that it was far more important than just digestion. It was the root of health or disease, and more. The implications were far reaching, and it puts us all in our place, and puts the lie to big pharma.
I also think one of the biggest mistakes is, to generalize. Doctors have their list of numbers and if you are out of 'the numbers' you are being considered ill Dad was very healthy till 3 years ago, when he fell of a step and broke 5 ribs, which ended him in the hospital. Of course, all doctors came to see if they could milk the cow. He came home with a bag of pills, and has not had one healthy day since. He finally realizes now, that had he thrown away that bag, he would be healthy again. Next week he is going to see the doc who did the most damage. I would like to be a fly LOL
Each person is unique. Doctors nowadays do not look at YOU they look at their computer screens. They prescribe something for every number out of the chart !
Same thing happened to my dad. Up to 80, not one pill, fit and healthy. Then he had an elevated heart rate which concerned him, which lead to pills and more pills, many to cancel the side effects of the others. Now at 86 he’s dealing with prostate cancer and dementia and is not well at all 😕
Milk the Cow? I'm still laughing. A doctor once entered my room and said "How ya doing?" I got a bill from that thief. I hope your father ditches that quack.
Glad I made you laugh. Dad not being a cow, I think he will keep to his word on Sunday, that he has been used as a guinea pig by that 'nice professor' and that the pills he has been taking, probably were at the bottom of all the misery. Last time he went, he was quite angry because the ailment in his legs was considered 'of no importance' to this quack, and something for the house doctor.
I discovered DMSO two years ago when I fell so horribly crashing into a concrete wall breaking every bone on my face and rotator cuff. It has since been a miracle cure of healing.
My dog went outside yesterday 4 legged, came in 3 legged. Could not put his paw down. Not seeing any damage I applied DMSO to his foot and leg. Twice more before bed. Today he is walking fine.
That's nothing in comparison to the recovery I have made using this salve. My knees kill me. I apply it every other day, just a tinge, and now no pain. Trigger finger, back aches, burns, cuts, rashes, no more. No doctors no rehab. Check it out. Order it from Med Web
thanks for the tip ! I have read the articles from Midwestern doctor about it, but hesitated to read a personal experience. I am allergic to sulfur but in a salve I am willing to try it! and of course I have a dog who now and then has pains...
I bought the liquid DMSO a while back (99.9%) but I don't know what to do with it. It's very confusing. Do you know how to use it? I have rheumatoid arthritis.

Go with him to his appointment. My family never goes alone. You can’t possibly make good objective decisions on your own, as a patient. You need a clear head or you just go with whatever they recommend and they know it.
It's generally not safe to seek medical help without an advocate by your side, and often, if we're talking hospitals, probably best to bring your lawyer if you really have to go....
I have a different read than you re fiber, however. If both bacteria are fiber and carb obligates, then I think adding fiber/carbs will simply increase their abundance, and potentially worsen symptoms over time. My hypothesis/test I'd love to see if to take these people (in a controlled design) off carbs and fiber entirely. I suspect that would be much more likely to resolve the issue, at least insofar as regards the bacterial causes.
There is good evidence that carnivore/ketovore diets alleviate many modern dietary ailments, and this might simply be one more. It is interesting to note that of the three macro-nutrients, carbs are the only superfluous one. i.e. without protein and fat, we die. Without carbs; as long as we eat healthy wholefood meat and animal products (+/- veggies and fruits), well, we tend to simply thrive :-)
I dunno. I feel pretty strongly that the immune responses designed to mediate attacks against worms via IgE etc. are lazy, and go haywire in the new gut milieu of toxic-waste we are exposed to every day. Hence many autoimmune diseases. I think worm therapy could work and the fiber idea could work too in this MS context. It not necessarily the bacterial species that are the most relevant to gut/immunological health/balance: it's the entire "biome" including the immunologically-determined milieu that determines outcome and longevity of outcome.
I must admit I'm not following your reasoning well here? Your article essentially highlights the finding that two fibre/carb obligate bacteria are implicated. You suggest increasing fibre may assist (I find that unlikely, but perhaps worth testing). I suggested that reducing/eliminating carbs and fibre from the diet is more likely to assist (i.e. those bacteria will die out over time).
I don't disagree that the modern milieu of toxic substances is also a big issue - but in your response above you essentially steer away from the two bacteria that the study found to be specifically linked, and your article highlighted?
To summarise; I don't disagree that the entirety (diversity and relative abundances) of the gut biome is important, but:
a) if there is good evidence that specific bacteria are linked w MS and those bacteria are fibre/carb obligates, then logic suggests testing a reduction/elimination of those foods and hence those bacteria.
b) the broader issue is optimal human diet - and while this varies among people and populations, the evolutionary and empirical evidence suggests strongly that we are highly adapted to diets high in animal products (historically the average human tribe had a ~70% animal-based diet, and some were ~100%). My broader point is that this specific MS/bacteria issue speaks to the deficiency of modern human diets, and especially the denigration of animal foods - not based on data (and opposite to logic), but based on ideology and vested interests (e.g. the 7th Day Adventist and Rockefeller et al. major influence on western diets).
What if the particular strains of bacteria are more a symptom of general dysbiosis which is in turn a symptom of a greater disruption. You can transfer dysbiosis from one mammal to another. Perhaps different forms of dysbiosis leads to different forms of disease - you can get a 'recipe' (I'm tired, sick and lacking a better term at the moment) for a particular type of dysbiosis or particular makeup of microbe colonies which results in a particular disease?
My n=1 but at least from my personal perspective, my health improved when I started intermittent fasting and I know of a lot of other people who had health improvements with fasting and low carb diets. I would love to see more studies but Big Cereal (how is this even a thing?!) has a lot of money to throw around.
For what it's worth, I ran into an X post on the discovery of the two "bad" bacteria found in MS patients. The discussion below the initial post (link below) raises some similar concerns regarding adding fiber/carbs. I think you might enjoy browsing the thread. Also in the thread, there's a post from a person concerned about a study that revealed "parasites" found in the brain and spine of deceased MS patients causing doubts in the poster's mind about the gut microbiota connection. My thought is that, somehow, the affected gut might be related to the presence of the parasites. Either through weakened immune system or?? At any rate, this will be good fodder for research. https://x.com/craigbrockie/status/1949837987145212333
Mate, that page is absolutely un-scientific (in the true sense), vegan-promoting rubbish.
It is what I referred to above, the corruption of the human diet and nutrition for ideological ends. The very idea that ancestral foods are suddenly bad for us, and novel foods like processed grains and cereals are good, is nonsense. Why are you pushing it?
Jess.. A brilliant paper! Thanks for sharing. I agree with:
"... I would go further to make the claim that most autoimmune diseases - so very common and unique to the United States - stem from both environmental toxins (like glyphosate and other pesticides and mono-culture BS), and improper diet and lack of proper vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D."
The only thing that I would add to causative factors is life trauma. Our culture here in Amerika, Inc., is toxic as hell. I have worked with PTSD patients for more than a decade now and most of it is rooted in family dysfunction (divorces with absent parents, custody battles, incarceration, drugs, EtOH, beatings, physical, emotional, sexual abuse, hyper-religiosity and cults, etc.. ALL of this causes dysregulation of the HPA and ANS and always involves the gut. Mainstream medicine does not recognize any of this, sadly. One cannot heal - even with nutrition and sunlight - without recognizing these damaging factors in one's life and facing them with the help of a trauma counselor. Thankfully, our endo-cannabinoid system helps regulate the ANS and helps return homeostasis to the body's CPU running everything.
Appreciate your voice, Jessica! Thanks for being there.
One of my masters theses was not so much how much stress one has, but how well one copes with that stress that can lead to disease. Based on previous studies: Two groups of rats put in a shock box (stress). One group can jump over a small barrier to escape the shock (coping). The other group can do nothing to escape the shock. They are yoked so that each receives the same amount of shock. When cancer cells are implanted into each group, the group that could cope with their stress had less tumor development. Coping can be correlated with certain brain neurochemicals. Stress and disease research always fascinated me.
you might be on to something. when I was a kid the doctor still came to our home. He saw how we lived, interacted, but now they have no clue. They might know about a divorce, but nothing about your life circumstances. I know someone who looks like a lady all dressed up to see the doc, but the house is a slump and she is a chain smoker (very well hidden when she goes to the doc, too)
Yup. I have heard and seen things just by talking to my patients that are truly heart-rending. Most have been to dozens of physicians and none ever inquired into their home/life environment. Experienced it myself when my son was a child - went to multiple docs for behavior issues - labelled bipolar and all of that. I was a young physician and knew nothing of the impact of home environment and as an ophthalmologist not tuned into psych stuff. As it turned out, I discovered years later that he was being molested by my alcoholic spouse (and others) - and, he had a poor father (me) to really understand what was going on. He had all sorts of "gut issues" - was a paramedic, gay - and, he finally succumbed to his trauma via suicide in 2012. If I had only known earlier... Doctors really make terrible parents for many reasons...
Thanks. One of life's experiences. Life IS a PTSD event - some of us get triple helpings of trauma... The good news is that major trauma usually produces sympathetic, empathetic, and creative people that have been freed from the brainwashed Matrix that we are all born into. To break free of that usually requires unpleasant events... So... Embrace the pain.
So true. As if lab tests were THE diagnostic method for all that ails ya. My pediatrician too made house calls when needed. He told my mom that to best help the children (his patients) one needed to know the parents..
An interesting aspect to consider. To your list of potential influencers (not that all of our toxics here in the US can be listed) I offer for your consideration financial distress.
Absolutely - a huge issue - throughout the West. We are in the end-stages of pirate capitalism and are seeing the extermination of the middle class and the further impoverishment of our poorest. Cheeto Jeezus is "bringing home the back" for his techno-corporatist buddies."They" are orgasmic over the massive wealth transfer that has been accelerating these past few years.
Andy Cutler, PhD, who wrote the book (Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment) on chronic mercury toxicity, told me that he had never seen a case of MS where mercury was not involved. You MUST have seen this famous University of Calgary experiment with brain neurons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73XyJq9Z3-k
There is another one somewhere that has an animation showing the tubulin shearing off with exposure to mercury. I will have to find it.
Hi Jessica. I'm puzzled. So the study found that fibre loving bugs caused MS but you're saying MS might be prevented by eating a high fibre diet? What am I missing?
On the contrary there are many very interesting and persuasive case reports of MS remission on a no fibre carnivore diet.
Fascinating insights, Jessica – thank you for summarizing this groundbreaking study so clearly.
I would like to add a perspective that is often overlooked in discussions about microbiota and chronic disease: the role of mitochondrial function – and how we might support it systemically, including within the gut ecosystem.
Photobiomodulation (also known as low-level laser therapy) has been shown in various studies to enhance mitochondrial performance by stimulating cytochrome c oxidase and increasing ATP production. While this approach is often applied locally (e.g., for pain or injury recovery), it’s rarely considered as a systemic support tool for cellular metabolism – especially in the context of the gut microbiome and immune regulation.
Yet mitochondria are key players not only in host cell energy but also in immune responses and microbiome balance. If we consider that certain bacteria, like Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium, are associated with MS and depend on a finely tuned metabolic environment, wouldn’t it make sense to explore whether targeted light therapy could positively influence their niche – or mitigate dysbiosis-driven immune dysregulation?
No one seems to be thinking along these lines. But maybe they should.
Human fecal transplants already exist. But they're super expensive and finding suitable samples for transplant is getting increasingly difficult as more and more of our planet becomes polluted and people increasingly eat Food Like Substances instead of the real thing :/
Love this! In my ye old college days, I worked on ceremyces cervesiae (sp?, sorry it’s been a while) with my genetics professor in attempt to alter its DNA. I’m still in love with these types of experiments. Thank you for sharing!

I just found a website where you can order roll-on with aloe vera. I ordered one of these !

Homeostasis is what I was referring to in my post below.

Sorry. This information is very inaccurate. You can find science-backed information on nutrition for free on Dr Greger’s site www.NutritionFacts.org

I’m still stuck on the title of the paper-“an unbiased functional study”. Technically, all studies should be unbiased, even though that is not true.

I know someone who got MS after her "vaccine".

yes. distraction. so they don't mess up the immune system and cause inflammation.
Thanks Dr. Rose and Dr Hazan !!!! Great read …..to add … wrong gut microbiome destroys our mitochondria. Respect that powerful organelle 😍

I understand that MS is correlated with living at high latitudes.
yes! isn't that weird! i think it's correlated to Vitamin D
Thank you Jessica!! I have friends with MS and have already forwarded this article.

Food, sun and movement. Now that is self-care I can get behind!
Beats staying indoors, for hours of mindless scrolling, while munching on empty calories!
Why, it's so practical, it must be misinformation!!!
Maybe leaky-gut syndrome is something we shouldn't poo-poo.
Credit goes to Alessio Fasano despite NIH lack of help telling him Celiac doesn’t exist in U.S.
Heh
If your dog comes across fresh poop. Especially from a young animal that it’s never encountered before it eats some.
