[stylist] Writers and depression

[EJ Kobek]

Hi, all, esp. Vejas,

Want to say much more, as we all do!  What's amazing is that medicine is
starting to look at lacking of imbalance of gut bacteria as a source of
despair (whatever one calls it), and they are even starting to care for
people with schizophrenia with probiotics....A fabulous book called
"Missing Microbes" even looks at the gut and other bacteria we need for
physical and mental health that are becoming extinct, along with other,
larger creatures....micobes we really need that are being disappeared by
misuse of antibiotics.....

Gut bacteria has an amazing impact on our mental health!!!

Might I propose a TOPIC for writing? Intestinally?

The topic:  Beneficial bacteria!

A haiku, a poem, a story, a prose piece?

Just an offering. I'll get to it during our blizzard today and
tomorrow....anyone else?

(Smile, grin.....)

Warmly,

Helen (and her beneficial bacteria)
