Trust your gut when it comes to health. That’s literally why your gut has its own brain. And most of the DNA in your body comes from organisms that communicate directly through the gut brain. So yes, it’s pretty reliable.
And it’s important to trust your gut to be able to discern good advice vs just plain dangerous misinformation coming from all kinds of sources. Ones that used to be reliable.
When it comes to herd immunity, the two most common approaches are vaccines or community spreading. The dangers of both can be high. But it’s still balancing one risk with another.
And here’s where that kind of thinking goes wrong.
Both approaches are reactive, not proactive. Both are problematic. Many people have moral objections to how vaccines are made and their associated side effects.
And letting the public get sick to develop antibodies… Really?
How many hundreds of thousands of people are you willing to kill to save the rest?
Why not be proactive? Develop a healthy immune system by promoting that healthy gut. You increase your gut’s health by eating prebiotics and probiotics.
Want to develop antibodies to fight sickness? Doesn’t it just make sense to be healthy then? Trust your gut.
=D
