Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is something that can be tested for before it happens. Gut bacteria of soldiers before war can be tested to see who will develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after going to war. You would think we would make sure all soldiers had the gut bacteria they need to survive war in a healthy manner, right?
In the gulf war, biochemical warfare started. One or both sides released biochemical warfare that killed good gut bacteria in soldiers, which made them unable to deal with stress optimally. And many of them returned with PTSD after the war.
PTSD is not just limited to soldiers or to wartime. Dealing with people who have cluster b personality disorders also causes PTSD. But it is not the same as PTSD from war or big traumatic events like a car crash or accident. It is called CPTSD, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is caused by many traumatic events over time that add up and cause the same effects as PTSD from one large event.
Lets say Mothers poisoned their children when little eroding their gut bacteria. This would be the equivalent of biochemical warfare that erodes gut bacteria causing PTSD in war. This would cause children to develop CPTSD from multiple traumatic events in childhood. Because their physical body would not be able to deal with the stress. Plus, their minds would not be able to process the trauma or make sense of it all. And their lives would not add up or be manageable.
If you were trying to control people, wouldn’t it be easier if they felt out of control themselves? Pavlov said the first step in communism is making people believe they cannot care for themselves. That is the only way they will give up control to the government or another.
When people do not believe they can take care of themselves, they look externally for someone else to take care of them. So if a Mother never wanted her children to grow up and be self sufficient, it makes complete sense that she would use biochemical warfare on them. This way they would always look to her as a savior. And she would look to the government as a savior.
If you want to protect yourself from people with cluster b personality disorders, the key is in your gut bacteria. You cannot create an environment where you can guarantee the mental health of everyone around you. However, you can set yourself up for success by ensuring your body can physically and mentally deal with stress.
Butyrate producing bacteria is the key to dealing with stress and not developing CPTSD or PTSD. Not only do you need this bacteria. But you need to feed it daily. Granted fasting days will help kill the gut bugs that try to crowd it out. But everyday you eat, you need to feed these bugs. This way they can produce the fatty acid butyrate that not only helps you deal with stress, but it increases plasticity in your brain to help you make sense of everything.
The benefits of butyrate are like a grocery list that go on forever with chain reactions in your mind, body, and soul. No study has found an upper limit to butyrate intake/consumption. Yes, you can take butyrate supplements. But having the gut bacteria that produce butyrate is preferable. Because those bacteria probably do more than just produce butyrate. We have just started to understand our gut bacteria. But our gut bacteria have kept us alive and healthy since the beginning of humans. Your immune system lives in your gut bacteria.
The more you cultivate your gut bacteria the healthier your immune system and the better your ability to deal with stress.
