  • Jeroen Raes is a bionaut, he researches the human microbiome. What he's discovered in his lab at the Flanders Institute of Biology could herald a major breakthrough not just in gastro-intestinal medicine, but in our fundamental knowledge of the human biology. It turns out that there are only three different types of gut bacteria and, just like blood groups, the three types are totally independent of race, sex, age or diet. Such a baffling finding leads to more research of course and Raes is currently testing his idea on a larger group . The implications for Crohn's Disease or obesity could be dramatic.

    I developed a gluten sensitivity since taking two rounds of antibiotics in the winter of 2016. i knew the risks but my fevers were so high that I felt I needed them. Ive found chicken soup with ginger and garlic seems to help tremendously!! Also cutting out processed sugar is HUGE. I added some fermented veggies like kimchi and also steamed veggies, fruits, and lots of healthy fats, primarily avocado, almonds, pistachios and walnuts which really help. If i fall off the wagon and eat gluten or processed foods consistently, my diarrhea returns. And Ill eat basically nothing but bone broth for a couple of days to heal my gut. Then I return to the foods that make ms feel good, and the longer I stick to the healthy foods, the better I seem to feel. And my movements become healthy again. Im convinced these autoimmune/flora issues can be treated if not reversed through dietary adjustments, and it just requires a lot of research time and consistency.

    Glyphosate (active ingredient in Roundup by Monsanto) is in the daily food intake of most people. It is a microbicide, an antibiotic that we are ingesting regularly at relevant doses of micrograms per day, which can affect our gut microbiome.

    So....what do we get from this....we as "humans" are totally....totally defined by what bacteria have colonized in us...we are powerless to have total control of our: emotions, physical disease, brain astuteness, diabetes, etc.
    We become...in essence, what our 'personal' flora do within us.
    That's why FMT therapy is getting so much new and sustained recognition.
    This field will be studied for the next 100 years...and do more with helping people than all of medicine thus far.

    I agree with you 100%. Since we are 90% bacteria and 10% human shouldn't we focus on the 90% for a change. Just think about all the doses of antibiotics that have been prescribed over the last half century? There is a doctor in the UK, Dr Natasha Campbell McBride, who devised a protocol called GAPS. She is treating gut dysbiosis in her patients. She's been treating autism, ADHD, ADD, depression, asthma, eczema, depression just to name a few since 1998 yet she is completely ignored...????

    I contracted four different bacteria while having back surgery.
    One colony Corynebacterium species, very rare Growth Peptostreptococcus magnus,
    very rare Growth Staphylococcus epidermidis and one colony Staphylococcus
    caprae. I receive for six weeks an IV antibiotic called Vancomycin.
    I have two questions:
    Which of the bacterial causes nerve pain (like shingles)?
    How long will it take until my gut flora recuperates?
    Thank you for your answer.

      SW Alexander I recommend you read the book GAPS by M.D. Natasha C. McBride, it focuses on a diet to regenerate gut flora, it can take years depending on how is the condition of the flora. It consists in starving the pathogens by reducing the sugar you eat and increasing the consumption of meats, animal fats and fermented foods.

    How come when doctors or health and wellness professionals push the probiotics towards you, they don't explain this stuff? But it makes me wonder, is this the way the health field is really going to go, or is this a phase that most people will never hear of? This video was published two years ago, and you still don't hear enough about this treatment! And if you have a certain flora will taking probiotics throw off your particular brand of flora that is unique to the healthy you? Like some creams not only kills the bad bacteria but the good bacteria, and therefore could take twice as long to heal or leave a scar because your body couldn't do it's natural healing!

    gut flora does not start at birth - there is an increase yes during birth passing through the vagina or coming out in the stomach - and being in the delivery room for the first time - but the biome started long before that. And that could identified with the unfortunate late abortions or very premature deaths.

    It takes a lot to be healthy, you can start by dumping your Doctor and hired a nutritionist. Even better, be your own Nutritionist, be your own doctor. There are clinics that are now looking into parasites, gut flora, candida and all the problems in our modern day worlds. We need to get rid of unnatural shit and live our lives as God intended. Not only that, now that we know what it takes to be healthy I am sure we can eventually develop entire gut flora's that will gives us 10X the health. We can then live long healthy lives. Today we are simply being kept on artificial live. We might be kept alive longer but what kind of fucked up way of life is that. I am sure there are expeceptions where accidents happen but why do we have to go through our lives unhealthy when we can all be super healthy! There is a need for Doctors, just not the ones we have now. What we need is nutritionist, healthier foods and and healthier lives.

      Most nutritionists tow the line of.the American Dietetic Association which is highly influenced by processed food and pharmaceutical companies. I was in a weekly nutrition talk of a dietitian from s teaching hospital who told s group of seniors that they need to take more calcium from their diet and milk is the best source of calcium. I pointed out we need more magnesium and vitamin D than calcium and that milk is not a good source of calcium. I was so shocked when she said that magnesium is s drug.

    Hi, I am dealing with my abnormal reaction to foods. People call it eating disorder Bulimia. But I don't eat out of emotion or purge intentionally. When my body can't handle the large quantities of processed foods I eat uncontrollably, it naturally throw up. While eating large amount of these foods, my mind experience disturbance and drunk feeling like lush. Purging is almost like my automatic protection from toxic foods. And itself is not certainly a problem. There is a problem and overheating and purging are natural reaction or something. Is this correlated to gut flora?

    • @PhoenixAurelius-138
      @PhoenixAurelius-138 9 років тому

      Meow Myuppi Yes, your problem ABSOLUTELY is a gut flora issue. It's also a leaky gut issue. That drunk feeling you feel after eating some foods is because the linings of the large and small intestines, which help to further digest your food, have holes or cracks that allow larger than normal food particles to "leak" through, and they enter into your blood stream and effect the brain (there are actually a couple ways this happens, but that is one example). LEaky gut is caused mainly by a lifetime of eating processed foods that have little fiber and lots of toxins, so that over time, your intestines cannot move the toxic waste through without damaging the intestinal walls. A healthy intestinal lining doesn't allow foreign invaders in or toxins out. Instead, the healthy gut flora help the body to assimilate nutrients, dispel toxins through the liver, etc. and push all waste through using the fiber and hydration that hopefully a person has taken in while eating....So, my question is, why do you feel the need to overeat these toxic foods (especially breads, sugars, alcohol, chips, soy and corn ingredients, cookies and baked goods, sodas, store bought juices, and glutenous grains like wheat; as well as toxically overloaded "commercial" meats & dairy)? Why are you addicted to the very thing that is destroying your health? No judgement, but it's an important question to ask yourself. You could just as easily "overeat" a huge bowl of salad, bowls of beans and brown rice, and pastured organic steak, right?

      Eating uncontrollably is why you're being diagnosed (correctly) with bulimia. Seek appropriate help for that problem. Convincing yourself that vomiting is a positive thing is another symptom of the disorder.

    I am glad research it's been done however it doesn't take a genius to figure out that we our Guts are the source of health. Just look around, go to walmart and see what people buy and think a lil bit. You will see healthy people buying healthy food, you will see obese unhealthy people in automatic wheelchairs buying processed foods, soda, artifial everything. I something wait and see if there is a single vegetable in their baskets and it never fails. They hardly buy water, or real whole food. Then I go to trader joes and I see the same thing although This time I see more healthy people buying healthy food. at times I see those with poor healths at trader joes or whole foods but even there they manage to buy the same crap of food that they buy at walmart. I really feel sorry for them and it's not their fault they simply don't know better. They hear from their doctors that their disease is because their parents have poor health and that's true as this video states. It's a fucking mess!

    If our bacteria...basically "rule us"..all of these states should could be manipulated, simply by taking and colonizing "purposeful" microbes for individual behavior and physical outcomes.....it's only logical.
