Reply to comment by give_me_yr_coffee in Gut Bacteria Toxin Linked to Onset and Relapse of Multiple Sclerosis – Study suggests the onset and relapse of multiple sclerosis (MS) may be initiated by epsilon toxin from gut bacteria Clostridium perfringens. by swhelan_tn

Cinnamaldehyde, thymol, citrus, chamomile, roman oil, carvacrol, oregano oil, green tea extract, saturated lauric acid and unsaturated linoleic acid appear to be effective.

Those are for controlling clostridium in the environment/foods, not in the body.

Well yeah that’s true but if it prevents growth on improperly chilled meats for 6, 12 hours etc. then it stands to reason the bacteria still doesn’t like them in the small intestine either. I don’t see how it’s likely to change?

Direct exposure. The GI tract is.. totally different.

But if you put these things into gelatin capsules, the same kind designed for OTC herbal supplements, they’re formulated to dissolve within the small intestine, which is where this particular bacteria and toxin are being produced. I’m not suggesting it totally ameliorates it, but I think it strongly stands to reason that it’d likely reduce numbers or severity some.
