I have only just started it. But it feels promising.Have you found any benefit from this probiotic?

I don't know either. But TLR4 seems to be heavily involved in neuroinflammation:I don't know if the cause of my condition is upregulated TLR4
Inflammatory processes occur in the brain in conjunction with stroke and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers have presented new findings about some of the ‘key players’ in inflammation. In the long term, these findings could lead to new treatments.
One of these key players is a receptor called TLR4. The receptor plays such an important role in the body's innate immune system that the researchers who discovered it were awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The other key player is a protein called galectin-3, which is absent in healthy brains but present in a brain suffering ongoing inflammation.

How? Please link me to a previous post of yours if you already exposed your protocol.I'm improving by reducing commensal bacteria.

I am very interested in this aspect.Since the shingles, herpes zoster virus, resides in my spine, and my symptoms are neurological ; I believe that commensals can cause neuroinflammation in some people.

I am highly interested in everything anedoctal, especially reported by a well-informed patient like you. I might not be in this world anymore when research proves what is behind my current state, meaning that it might take several years until it has some recognized importance for public health and goes beyond the "it's all in your head" speech, like "nobody has that" or worse "everybody has that".Again, this is anecdotal,
and fungi.... ?relationship between bacteria and viruses, but it looks like there's a symbiosis somehow.
Have you looked into lysine/arginine intake ratio? Interestingly Lysine comes in acidic form for supplementation, so it is a double-edged sword. This is one of the reasons that made me consume dairy again, to up my lysine intake. Can't rely on too much bacon for it, my cholesterol is the highest ever right now...I've read that some viruses are PH dependent, though I think it's much more than that.
I wonder if the increased acids from lactic acid formation or acid intake, damages cells, (tenderizes), making them more susceptible to viral replication.
I am not sure why bacteria binding to toll-like receptors in the gut should cause neuroinflammation.
