Obesity has recently become a hot topic in the United States as the number of cases of it rise in both adults and children. Because it can lead to many serious problems such as heart disease, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and pulmonary hypertension, many scientists are searching for potential causes and preventive measures to combat it (Dibaise, 460). Recently, a connection has been discovered between obesity and certain forms of bacteria found in the human gut.According to the article "Gut Microbiota and Its Possible Relationship with Obesity," gut microbiota is formed during the first year of development, and can be very different from person to person (462). However, the type of gut microbiota that is formed seems to have little to do with the lifestyle and age of the host, but is based mostly on its genetic information. This microbiota plays an important role in immune functions, food digestion and gastrointestinal tasks.
Some believe that gut microbiota have a specific metabolic rate and some of its traits may cause susceptibility to obesity. Though there are trillions of microbes living in the human gut, according to "Human Gut Microbes Associated with Obesity," two seem to be highly influential to adiposity- Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. People who are obese have less Bacteroidetes than lean people and more Firmicutes.
To support this hypothesis, a study was done of 12 obese people who were put on a carbohydrate or fat restricted eating plan. Stools samples were collected over the course of one year and tested to determine the characteristic changes of their gut microbiota. The study found that, "Before diet therapy, obese people had fewer Bacteroidetes (P<0.001) and more Firmicutes (P=0.002) than did lean controls. Over time, the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes increased (P<0.001) and the abundance of Firmicutes decreased (P=0.002), irrespective of diet type" (Ley, 1023). Furthermore, increases in the amount of Bacteroidetes corresponded with the percentage of weight loss. As said by the conductors of the experiment, "Obesity is, to our knowledge, the only condition in which a pronounced, division-wide change in microbial ecology is associated with host pathology" (Ley, 1023).
This study supports their hypothesis that gut microbiota is connected to obesity and will hopefully aid in the development of preventive measures to fight obesity. As said in "Gut Microbiota and Its Possible Relationship with Obesity," "Although clearly no substitute for proper diet and exercise, manipulation of the gut microbiota may represent a novel approach for treating obesity, one that has few adverse affects" (466).

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Cancer,Hiv_ Aids,Herpes,Copd,Diabetes,Hepatitis,I read about him online how he cure Tasha and Tara so i contacted him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com even talked on whatsapps +2348149277967 believe me it was easy i drank his herbal medicine for two weeks and i was cured just like that isn't Dr Itua a wonder man? Yes he is! I thank him so much so i will advise if you are suffering from one of those diseases Pls do contact him he's a nice man.

ReplyDeleteDo you still Struggle with Cold Sores, unexpected Outbreak and Herpes Virus? then you don't have to keep waiting for treatment when the is a herbal medicine that cure this virus. I was searching online for Herbal Cure for Herpes Virus when I saw a testimony online about Dr. Akintunde and how he cured a lady of HSV1 with his.
ReplyDeletenatural herbal medicine and tested Negative and in less than a month she was cured of this virus. So it took me time to believe that this was true, because my family Doctor tried all his best to get rid of this virus in my body system but yet no cure and I suffered from outbreak and Cold Sores always. I had to contact Dr. Akintunde after I have access his website and i had faith in God that I was going to be fine and free of this virus one day. Finally I contacted Dr. Akintunde on his WhatsApp number that I saw on the testimony post online, and after our conversation the Doctor only promise me that I was going to be cured and free of this virus after taking his natural herbal medicine because I was tired of my situation with this virus it was so distracting to my life and whole family. Later Dr. Akintunde send some Herbal medicine to me through UPS courier service, with instructions on how to used this medicine, to my biggest surprise first week of taking my herbal medication I saw great improvement and I still think that it's a dream but this is real, I now test Negative of this virus today and my blood pressure well regulated now, my family doctor after my test was extremely surprise to see my test result change to HSV1 Negative and no more symptoms, cold sores, sores throat and outbreak again. I wish to tell everyone about this, mostly if you have this virus then do yourself good to contact Dr. Akintunde and see what the Lord can do through this Herbal Doctor's medicine in less than a month. 100% free from herpes Virus. I and my family say "thank you" Sir, for helping my life. You are a blessing to this generation and God will reward you richly
