I listened to your water, breathing, and microbiome episodes. I’ve been drinking Kangen water 9.5 PH for the past 10 years. If the proper PH for the gut microbiota is 7.4, could bringing in a higher ph water affect the gut microbiome? I see a documented decline in mine + new food allergies + raised inflammation markers. I have the theory that food allergies -the immune system starting to attack- are a result, not a cause. Could 10 years of drinking high ph water be related to it? Am I thinking in the right direction?
Use of SSRI decrease Dopamine and increase serotonin. Sertraline is hypothesized to potentially not decrease dopamine when used at a high dose Question- long term use of SSRI: is the negative feedback loop between Serotonin and dopamine potentiating and decrease in dopamine long term? I have YOPD and I was on Prozac from 14 yrs old on. I wonder if I inadvertently closed down my dopamine or effected my substantia Nigra? Prozac Backlash Edition 1 hit on this and the author predicted an uptick in YOPD and alas… big uptick and hitting younger. What is happening in the brain to dopamine when using SSRI’s??
