As a Chiropractor it is a common and loud drum beat to believe a conspiracy(reality) is alive and well to profit off of people's sickness. We all know the health care industry can do better by focusing more on health than sickness. However, I believe the gut-brain axis has suprised all those involved in the profiteering as a real contributor to many diseases that plague society. Just think of all the antibiotics given each year from infants to seniors and how that destroys the gut health and on top of that add the lab induced diets that we consume. It's only recently that medical researchers discovered/agreed that the gut represents 70% of our immune system. The gut flora is being destroyed. The mucosal lining is being destroyed. The 70% of our immune system is attacking our own bodies and causing auto-immune diseases that we only thought of as genetic. Today some in the medical field are reinserting into one's own colon healthy feces that contain the proper familia gut flora to reverse auto-immune GI diseases. Whether a deliberate attempt to keep us sick or not, I do not know, but the times are changing. Hopefully we are better off for it! Long and Strong!
