This just in! Bacterial Dysbiosis of the intestine some of you know it as SIBO, may the underlying cause of heart disease. Most of us involved with naturopathic medicine have known for years that platelet aggregation, the clumping of red blood cells, elevated lipid levels, IE cholesterol, and CRP's etc are simply markers of bodily inflammation they do not indicate the cause but simply let us know that inflammation is present and to what degree.
Another recent study has confirmed the presence of bacterial pathogens in arterial plaque. This study is the first to pinpoint biofilms or the presence of living organisms on the arterial wall itself.
A previous study identified Pseudomonas Aeroginosa as a common bacteria colonizing many diseased arterial samples.
I receive reports with Pseudomonas present in the microbiology analysis stool culture of many GI clients.
It brings me great joy to know that I am not only restoring someone's GI health but perhaps saving them from heart disease in the future as well.
A vast majority of research clearly associates periodontal disease and inflammatory bowel disease with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Many of us have suspected for years that inflammation of the vessels caused by bacterial infiltration is an unknown underlying cause of heart disease. This research will hopefully lead the way to more exploration.
Best of Health!
