Dr. Sidney Finegold
Dr. Finegold is a world-renowned authority on the biology and taxonomy of anaerobic bacteria and has contributed significantly to the knowledge of these disease-producing organisms. An award-winning researcher with a career spanning 60 years, Finegold’s reputation is global in scale.
Saw an interesting follow up to some of Dr. Herbert’s comments on agricultural overuse of antibiotics. The FDA is starting to restrict certain antibiotics in livestock. Note that more antibiotics are used in agriculture than in humans, possibly contributing to drug-resistant infections as well as other problems (as mentioned in the film).

Ieneke, I’m so glad there are many of us connecting the dots. Thanks.
Today I watched a video on the impact of genetically modified crops and glyphosate on soil, human and animal health. I think this may be part of the puzzle. The video is one hour long, but I think the information Dr. Huber provides makes this a good investment of time. http://www.capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert/?alertid=58601501
Thanks Chris. I just watched Dr. Huber too and came to this site to make exactly that comment. This looks like a topic that should be researched.
I am a mother of a nine year old nonverbal and not potty-trained autistic boy. He was a normal baby with emerging speech that went away after the MMR (we don’t know if this caused it, but it was three months before we watched him go down hill). Over the years we have done chelation, hundreds of supplements (which have helped some), the GFCF diet (marginally helpful for us), HBOT (don’t know if it helped), tried SCD diet (he wouldn’t do it), B12 injections, was scoped twice (biopsied as well) and more. Of course endless feces and urines tests, Whatever he eats he is unbelievably hyper. Currently, we have done three rotations of Flagyl. The first round worked so well we cried at how calm he was. Since then the Flagyl helps, but not like the first time. This past year was the worst ever – beating his head, biting his hand and extreme tantrums. The Flagyl has helped with this, but still can get upset and very difficult to redirect him. If I could sign him up for an intestinal transplant I would – NO DOUBT – all of this starts in the gut. It is in an endless cycle. God bless anyone who is helping discover ways to help these voiceless children. Stacie Matson
