They call the gut "the small brain" these days.

Very interesting, I had not heard that before, it's a great way of putting it.

Yeah. Only in the West do we separate the mind and body in medicine. Everywhere else the whole organism is treated holistically.

Definitely, I have long had an issue with the way medicine treats ailments in isolation without looking at the whole body and understanding more about the patient.

Well said, Daddio. Your kids are lucky to have a parent that's on it.

Ahhh, thanks very nice of you say :)
