Recently Diagnosed or Relapsed? Stop Looking For a Miracle Cure, and Use Evidence-Based Therapies To Enhance Your Treatment and Prolong Your Remission
Multiple Myeloma an incurable disease, but I have spent the last 25 years in remission using a blend of conventional oncology and evidence-based nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle therapies from peer-reviewed studies that your oncologist probably hasn't told you about.

Enhance Gut Microbiome- Olive Oil
When I advise MM patients about to undergo CAR-T therapy to enhance the gut microbiome, they often ask me how to do this. I talk about fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi.
In an effort to broaden the list of foods that’ve been shown to enhance the gut microbiome, I’ve begun researching the issue.
Watch the video below to begin enhancing your gut health. Dr. Tim Spector, creator of Zoe, explains many, many foods that will enhance your gut health.
The 5 things you NEED to know for better GUT HEALTH with Professor Tim Spector
One of the common components of CAR-T therapy is chemotherapy to manage your MM 2 or 3 weeks preceding the infusion of your CAR-T therapy. I’m not going to challenge your therapy plan other than to tell you that both chemotherapies and antibiotics can damage your gut health, so be sure to consume both olive oil as well as the foods mentioned by Dr. Specter in the video above.
I am a long-term MM survivor. Email me at David.PeopleBeatingCancer@gmail.com with questions about managing your MM with both conventional and non-conventional MM therapies.
Good luck,

Extra-virgin olive oil and the gut-brain axis: influence on gut microbiota, mucosal immunity, and cardiometabolic and cognitive health
Abstract
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), a popular functional food and major source of fat in the Mediterranean diet, possesses a variety of healthful components, including monounsaturated fatty acids and bioactive phenolic compounds that, individually and collectively, exert beneficial effects on cardiometabolic markers of health and act as neuroprotective agents through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.
The gut microbiota and health of the intestinal environment are now considered important factors in the development of obesity, metabolic disease, and even certain neurodegenerative conditions via the gut-brain axis.
Recently, data are emerging that demonstrate that the health-promoting benefits of EVOO may also extend to the gut microbiota.
In this review, we aimed to examine findings from recent studies regarding the impact of EVOO on gut microbiota and intestinal health and explore how modulations in composition of gut microbiota, production of microbially produced products, and activity and functioning of the mucosal immune system may lead to favorable outcomes in cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive health…
CONCLUSION
Consumption of EVOO clearly demonstrates widespread beneficial effects on a variety of aspects of health and disease and also shows great therapeutic potential in positively modifying the gut microbiota as well as the activity and functioning of the mucosal immune system.
Investigation of the mechanisms whereby EVOO-induced modulations in gut microbiota and microbially produced products influence cardiovascular, metabolic, mucosal, and cognitive health outcomes still remains a relatively unexplored area of research with exciting prospects.”
