Which is the best way to resupply the gut with probiotics then?

Eat prebiotics - food for probiotics. You can "supply" probiotics as much as you want, but if they have nothing to eat, they won't thrive.

Candida is normal in the intestines, but if it is showing up elsewhere (skin, mouth, genitals), then something is out of balance. Antibiotics can trigger candida overgrowth, but only when the person's diet is sub-optimal. Candida is easily put back in balance by correcting the diet. Once candida is out of balance, diet plays a major role in clearing candida.

Raw paleo is not the only direction to take. People who avoid eating meat often overemphasize starchy (bread, potatoes, rice, etc.) and sugary foods (fruits), which will keep feeding the candida. Since your wife doesn't sound open to a change in diet, she can find other websites with candida-cure guidelines and supplements.

However, she should also have a serious think with herself about the long-term effects of an unbalanced diet. All species thrive on their species-appropriate diet and decline over time when they eat foods that poison them. Candida imbalance can be a mild wake-up call to let you know that you have let someone's nutrition lies compromise your health.

I never had morning sickness with two boys and one girl. I don't think it means that the woman is unhealthy, not that I know for sure, but there are so many changes going on at the beginning of pregnancy. I "felt" being pregnant right away, within a week of conception, and I couldn't put my finger on what I felt, but I was right three out of three times.

We didn't use routine ultrasound back then.

Are you talking about the "organ clock" in Traditional Chinese Medicine? They look like this:

Very nice presentation, thanks for sharing the link.

I am wary of using "scientific" statistics to predict trends. Both the global warming and global cooling supporters are using the same data to derive opposite predictions. There's nothing wrong with their math. It's just that statistical trends are extrapolated more upward for global warming and more downward for global cooling. At least Casey is a scientist rather than a politician, and his solar-cycle observations make sense! His theory utilizes a trend-toward-normal feature that I find more plausible than the idea that the whole planet will be wiped out in a near-future fiery blast.

I am more intrigued by the binary star idea, that our sun is one of a binary pair, and the other star (called Nemesis) is too cool to have been detected yet, but appears to have a 26,000-year rotation with our sun. Supporters of this Nemesis Theory say this accounts for increased comet activity and mass-extinction cycles.

Even the old Gaia Hypothesis, that Earth is a self-regulating system, assures us that our human folly will be compensated for by Mother Earth's exquisite and complex design.

It seems normal, though, for americans to use alternative names to their real name....

I'm not against his using a nom de plume, just that this particular one lacks luster.

Thailand? Insects! https://edibug.wordpress.com/list-of-edible-insects/

I like squid and cuttlefish, which are featured in an Korean ethnic market that I shop at. I am very food-adventurous and I like the fermented fish and crab that they sell. What part of the world are you in? That might be a good clue about what seafoods you will find there. Here, something like scallops are usually sold as the muscle only, not the whole animal, because they are hard to ship and store when live. When I have seen whole live scallops for sale, they were about $7 each!!

So, any tips/links on getting the tastiest/least smelly fish or shellfish would be great, I am an absolute newbie on this.

Can you sample raw fish at a restaurant? I wouldn't assume that you'd like the taste of the fish I like, because I was raised on fish and shellfish. I remember my mother airing out the house after she baked fish, and my point here is that cooked fish can be smelly. Raw fish does not give off its aromas into the room, but it does taste like very fresh and clean... fish! Just find the very freshest wild-caught ocean fish, preferably from your local area. Ask for a filet or steak so you don't have to learn to cut up the whole fish right away. Don't be afraid to ask questions at the market.

If you are near the sea and there is a fisherman's port near you, go ask the fishermen. They all eat their fish raw and can guide you about what you might like.

In my area (San Francisco), a single small chicken that has been raised on its species-appropriate diet costs over $30, and I have to drive over an hour to the ranch that sells it, so I don't eat chicken. Most chicken seems to be raised on "chicken feed" in feed lot operations, even if they're labeled organic. The big con here is to label chickens and eggs as fed a vegetarian diet, but chickens are more in the insectivore/herbivore category, so I avoid them.

- I do not wish to cook, or use seasonings, marinates and spices, not even to begin with.
- Generally I don't mind some blood and gooey stuff, organs or sea food, but my tongue and nose are sensitive, and so far did not manage to take the things I've tried, or their aftertaste. Most preferably foods which will not leave too much odor around my body or the kitchen, and of course digest pretty well.

Your requirements pretty much sum up raw paleo! Uncooked meats don't release aromas very much, the way cooking does. In the meat department, I eat mostly beef and lamb, with plenty of seafood. They have zero "room" odor and relatively mild taste. The stinkiest thing I eat is garlicky kimchi, but you don't need to eat something like that. I switched "cold turkey" without any discomfort.

Perhaps you can explain which foods you are trying that have a disagreeable taste, odor, and body smell.

I don't think satiety depends on one factor. Sure, it makes sense that the stomach and intestines need to have a discernible amount of food in them, so your author has a valid point.

However, the satiety factor has several other key components such as blood-sugar signals, fat receptor nerve signals, social factors, "emotional" factors, etc.

Satiety levels are learned in childhood. A child that is overfed learns that satiety means so stuffed that you're gasping for air.

I find that the sense of taste is responsible for a lot of satiety signals, which is why we get a stop when we eat unprocessed foods - the stop indicating that we have satisfied our need for that particular food.
