Who rubbed on the first poison ivy or stinging nettles, who figured out that you could use the plant neighbor of nettles, a fern, to rub off nettles, who made the first beer/antibiotics(anti-life), the first sugar finder or soap maker? People just like this man! Life is waiting for us at every step! Get your tummy fixed bro, you gotta feel good to be a support to your community! Love ya!
I feel like one of the few people that was thoroughly impressed by this and honestly intrigued. I would never do this to myself but the fact this man did everything on his own is impressive.
I haven't gone as far as this guy has... but I've gone pretty far and I can definitely say that what he did is not beyond the realm of what I'd be willing to try. When you're absolutely desperate, in crippling pain 24/7, have no quality of life left, don't have much life left, and a freaking army of doctors and dozens of different medications have failed you, you get desperate. I was suffering from severe GI symptoms from scleroderma, skin rashes that burned like absolute fire, diminishing eyesight (also from the scleroderma - rapid onset vitreous frosting), and small fiber neuropathy. I literally hurt everywhere. Throw in a 12 level spinal fusion from a broken back and I was just done. Over the last year and a half, I've found a combination that works for me. I have no idea if this formula would help anybody else in the world, but I'm sharing because there might be one person who can feel better. 1. Carnivore diet. This did the most to help reduce my autoimmune flares. Frankly, it's amazing. 2. Vitamin C. I know lots of people say that it's not necessary on carnivore - but I absolutely do need it. I developed subclinical scurvy and that's not pleasant, folks. Now maybe it's because of the scleroderma. The disease does cause a person to make more collagen than they need. Perhaps my body is gobbling up all the resources it can to complete the task. Maybe after being sick for 20 years I'm suffering from oxadative stress or maybe I just don't have any resources left to get by without it. But I get very sick without it and feel one hell of a lot better with it, so I'm taking it. 3. GABA. This one is odd. All of my symptoms improved on carnivore except for the neuropathy. That just got worse and worse. It finally made its way to the white matter (dura) of my spinal cord and that's a whole new level of pain, I can tell you. There aren't enough drugs in the world to cope with that. The go-to treatment is gabapentin, but I suffer horrible side effects from that and get no benefit. It just doesn't work for me. I did some poking around on Google and discovered that gabapentin is just a synthetic form of GABA - a very normal, common amino acid that our bodies produce by themselves. So I decided to cut to the chase and try the real deal. Bought some 750mg GABA off of Amazon. I found that my dose is three pills spread out through the day. All of the benefits, none of the side effects. I can't take them all in one shot or I do feel the same side effects as I do with gapapentin. Thankfully, those side effects only last an hour or two and not days as with the drug. 4. Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine). The GABA made a noticeable improvement with my SFN, but didn't bring me all the way home. I've had a life-long problem with thiamine deficiency (my kids and mother have the same issue. Don't know why.) and I hadn't been supplementing since I started carnivore. I thought that I'd be getting enough in my diet. I added 500mg a day of the Solaray brand thiamine (the only one that's been proven to work in MY body via medical tests. The kids and I went through a pretty frustrating 6-month saga with my doctor a few years ago where he was trying to get our levels up and no supplement would work. Finally we hit on Solaray and got the results we were looking for. GNC is garbage.) Between the GABA and the thiamine I'd say that my SFN is about 85-90% resolved right now. I've just added 200mg of Ecological Formulas Allithiamine B1 to the cocktail to see if that'll make a difference. We'll see. I just started that yesterday so I can't give an impression just yet. 5. Ulcerative colitis of the rectum. Many people who suffer from UC only have issues in the last 1/3rd of the colon and the rectum. I'm one of those people. I began carnivore in August of 18 and by December my GI symptoms were doing much better, but not with that problem. This is where I relate to this guy. I found out that butyrate and glutamine are the best substances for healing UC. My problem is that my issue is at the very end of the whole system. Hardly anything is making it al the way from my mouth to the other end. So I got some MCT oil, melted it with butter, added glutamine and butyrate powders (butyrate smells like vomit. I swear to gawd) put it all in an enema and put it up my butt. Did this once a day for a week and finally healed up. I don't believe that this would've worked at all had I not been eating carnivore. Everything goes into one big formula and all the parts are needed to make the whole. This treatment held for about nine months. then the problem came back. (I know why it came back. I went off my diet for the holidays. For the last three months I've been pushing it. I knew what I was doing and I did it anyway.) I'm about to start another round. 6. Fibro-response. This one pisses me off. There's no logical reason why this should help. The pills look indigestible. The forms of vitamins are all wrong. The herbals in it have no scientific backing. I never would've pursued this, but my friend was adamant and bought me a bottle. Then she nagged me to give it a chance. And I'll be damned, but it does makes a positive difference. I doubt it's placebo because I thought this was bullsh*t to my core. 7. Raw liver and raw egg yolks. These are my "multivitamin" and they're important. For the eggs, I just use cheap Walmart eggs, but I spend $money$ on the best calves' liver I can get my hands on. Three pieces of liver a week and three-four egg yolks a day. I whip the yolks up in the blender with some monkfruit and cinnamon, then drink it like a shake. If I have good cream, I'll add a bit of that, too. Otherwise I just add about two tablespoons of water to thin it a bit. It actually tastes really good. If somebody wants to know how to eat raw liver without being traumatized or gagging, respond to this post and I'll share. It's really not that bad. After you get through the first two times, you'll be a pro. All-in-all, I've made a TON more progress on my own than all of the doctors put together. Right now I only find them useful for diagnosis, tests, and actual surgeries. 16 months ago I was told that I probably only had two years to live. Right now, the only way I'm dying anytime soon is if I get hit by a bus. My back is jacked up, but that's structural and there's not much anyone can do about it. Don't give up, people. Don't dismiss your doctors, but don't close your eyes and trust that they've got all the answers, either. Do your own homework. If something looks like it's a long shot, and the risk is small or none (like the butter enema) give it a go. There wasn't one magic pill that made me better. But each of those small things meant a few more steps in the right direction. I recently shocked my pain management doctor by announcing that I no longer needed opiates. (Damn, that felt good) I've gone down from a shoebox's worth of meds a day to a single muscle relaxant and the occasional zofran. (If I'd stop screwing around with what I put in my mouth, that last one won't be needed either) I'm down a hundred pounds and that has helped my back quite a bit right there. I'm still going to keep experimenting. Slowly and carefully. Try to find any other missing pieces to my puzzle. I'm getting there.
No replies? This is very cool bro, I'm very grateful that u addressed what I was concerned ppl may take form the video: don't listen to doctors, do it urself with a very high risk thing. I love DIY for electronics so maybe this will be me one day, DIY-ing my health (though I'm still young so I'll just try to keep riding this youthful health for as long as possible). For the carnivore diet is it strictly meat (besides whatever else u wrote up here), like what if I want a cheesestick as a snack? With carnivore diet are snacks even common? God Bless you bro hope you're still doing well
@@Badsniperarmy I would not try carnivore, as it has no studies that show that is helps, in contrary, its better to eat less meat if you have inflammation. Lots of studies show that vegetarians live longer, about 5 years longer and also healthier.
Except... This is some dude doing it on his own, who has an interesting and apparently storied past. Not sensationalism. Still weird, still interesting.
I find this story interesting, but it would have been useful it the filmmakers had mentioned that this is available as a treatment in many places, where it would be supervised by physicians...google it...I vaguely remember it taking place in Switzerland and Germany. This guy seems like an interesting fellow but the pacing and choices of the director and editor made him seem less so. To me that indicates you are not serving your subject well at all. The pacing of this is so slow and I do not see why. The grotesqueness is really not that grotesque. Instead you upped the distasteful, excess of intimacy in your documentary style, without either increasing our identification with him or increasing the story-telling or informativeness. He deserves a re-edit and the viewers deserve more information. Just offering my sincere feedback. You have turned me off a documentary style that I usually love, rather than turning me off some scientist taking poo capsules.
marshhen I agree. A bit late to the party but it feels like a very non story. I didnt learn anything and I only had a vague knowledge on bacterial transplants.
I'm inclined to agree. There is actual medical science involved in this procedure - whether you agree that Josiah's biohacking represents that or not. I feel that the documentary tried to portrayed him as some sort of quack doing grotesque things to his body; when the truth is he had some background knowledge going into this.
the video is already two years old, check your facts, only now has he begun to come around as a viral source and the media picking up on him like a hot topic
What I want to know is did this work long term? People have done experiments with results that wear off after a period of time. It's 3 years since this video. I would like to see an update on the results. Also when he states Now time to repeat the process over a 72 hour period - did he take the Antibiotics all over again, or did he just have to take repeated doses of the gut biom-fecal matter? Unlike the woman narrating in this video that ways in and says this isn't even a blip on the scientific radar, I think it's a very good experiment that just needs to be better detailed. I hope they post an update on this, right now its May 2021 could someone please do a follow up and post the results and details?
Regardless of the ethical questions surrounding this experiment, this is an intriguing concept. Perhaps this will be the foundation of a future medical treatment
Rad. Though, we've learned that certain bacteria thrive on proteins, others on sugars, and can actually cause the 'sweet tooth' that Zayner supposedly inherited. More than likely his donor had an abundance of the sugar-consuming bacteria.
Gut ecosystems are complex, and contain a huge variety of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. We all have pretty much the same stuff, but what's different is how the ecosystem is balanced. By mostly wiping out an ecosystem, and transplanting a new one, the new one can stay mostly intact. However, it can be altered over time through habits of the person. For example, if you have an ecosystem that thrives on sugar, but switch to an atkins diet for five years, you are going to end up with an ecosystem that thrives on proteins, because there's always a constant competition going on. His "sweet tooth" may be completely psychological, that's why in real scientific experiments you have control groups so people don't know if they are getting the real deal or placebo. Ultimately, his experiment was a failure, in that the only thing that worked was a fecal transplant, which is already known science. His DIY reproduction of this may just have the benefit of costing him less than going through the medical industry.
So true, I'm always craving sugars after antibiotics abuse, i even have reactifve hyplogicemia without being a diabietic and all these sugar cravnigs and sugar downs have worsened with antibiotics an medicines... Im looking for some donor who doesnt like sugars as its all a bacteria related issue, bacteria rule our minds actually.
Fecal transplant is easier to do, in terms that poop is in a closed environment and relatively easier to control... and even with that it sometimes it fails...
@@BoopSnoot Correct, it would be better for him than for some medical industry to do it, (they would ask for money and probably make your more sick). In any case however, my main concern is of all the talk that antibiotics will not be useful in a few decades time. So killing his old bacteria with antibiotics won't be feasible if he wanted to repeat this as an old man on some volunteer.
I would hope that a former synthetic biology researcher from NASA would know that if you are going to have a fecal transplant, you should get that person's flora tested first for rotaviruses and other pathogens that may not have yet manifested in the donor's phenotype. He didn't mention what type of capsules he used, but you can't use just any capsules, or you risk getting the transplanted bacteria in the wrong region of the digestive tract. Not to mention that this should all take place in a sterile environment, which is the opposite of a hotel room. Even labs have problems with contamination.
I'm thinking about getting this done at the hospital I've heard it has had great results on other patients. It isn't administrated in capsule form though, they use a nasogastric intubation.
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had the donor gave some dirty clothes for him to wear. It may have made a pretty large impact.
it's not just his own bacteria he wanted to isolate himself from but all other bacteria that coulde enter his body and lay wast to his experiment. and hotel rooms are a lot cleaner then most other houses because their are people there who get payed to keep the rooms clean. (EDIT): also here 7:03 you can see him spraying the room with disinfectant in order to insure his isolation from all other bacteria.
The gut bacteria from the poopings does some *interesting effects.* Apparently creates the different cravings for different foods, and also it can make people younger, if the original host was young and healthy. It's not a magic for everything, but an exciting discovery that is very easy to incorporate as form of medicine. It's surprising that it works at all. But pls, it's in the form of a suppository, no need to eat ppoopings, pls ! There are cleaner methods to get the good gut biome !
Do your microbes create brain chemistry that causes you to crave foods that they'll appreciate, or do you grow some bugs more than others in response to your diet? HInt: it's both. Research has found fat mice get thin from thin-mice poop and vice-versa.
Had same problem, built a laboratory and became a stem cell researcher. Then accidentally cured the problem with Curcumin and Berberine. Life be like that some times.
Yeah in Germany and the Netherlands this is quite common! Citizens with healthy microbiomes are encouraged to do stool donations, and it goes similarly as blood donations.
I believe that stool transplants are currently being undertaken in private clinics in Europe and the US as a strategy for changing body composition. I also recall reading that respective health bodies were going legislate such activities!
"Poop" and bacterial transplants aren't anything new in medicine. But hey, its never been done by a hipster who locked himself in a hotel room and "biohacked" himself for attention. So he has that going for him.
More people with an understanding of genetics as well as a good idea of their own genetics should consider doing this, as long as they are qualified of course.
You can also change gut bacteria by diet. Skin bacteria can be changed not only by changing soaps or eliminating them but by even wearing the other person's clothing. Also we don't understand how meditation or even simple relaxation and exercise can change the biome but it does. What doesn't change more often than not is a quest for an outside agency we can control to take the place of our making personal changes.
in a sketchy room, you're lying on your stomach, half conscious and you caught a glimpse of this guy, wearing surgical mask and adjusting his rubber glove, and you heard him... ... 2:09 wyd?
Fecal transplants are used to treat certain gastrointestinal illnesses with great success. The danger in this case was that the donor's sample wasn't screened for pathogens beforehand. Choosing a healthy donor was good, but a person appearing healthy doesn't mean they can't have some pathogen with no symptoms.
what about his drinking habits? I quit drinking alcohol and gastrointestinal issues stopped and I developed a sweet tooth as well I would assume he reduced drinking habits in order to not adversely affect his evaluation
That's amazing and this guy probably learned it from the internet. But man we're so far from Cyberpunk 2077 body mods, is it possible to biohack ur mind to make ur reaction time 500 milliseconds fasters? Or being able to connect memory neuron easier than none mod human.
I would like to donate some bacteria from my throat lymph nodes they have done me well, I had aggressive dental infections for a year and a half untreated due to the pandemic shutting dentists down. I displayed septicaemia twice but recovered within a week and two weeks and had too many abscesses to count and each time before recovering from the infection my lymph nodes would calcify and reduce after the infection had passed for that time. I don’t know if this is just standard or not but these were serious and repetitive cushion abscesses and I have twelve or thirteen lymph nodes I can’t remember exactly but this was pointed out as a mutation in and of itself by the doctor. Please comment if you know how I could do this or if it’s just a normal occurrence. The extra lymph nodes aren’t dangerous as I already had a biopsy.
Guy's stomach hurts. No wonder you are willing to do all of this. I have been in pain for years, every waking moment. I get it.
exactly i would do it in a heartbeat if i had the knowledge.

So true, I'm always craving sugars after antibiotics abuse, i even have reactifve hyplogicemia without being a diabietic and all these sugar cravnigs and sugar downs have worsened with antibiotics an medicines... Im looking for some donor who doesnt like sugars as its all a bacteria related issue, bacteria rule our minds actually.
Fecal transplant is easier to do, in terms that poop is in a closed environment and relatively easier to control... and even with that it sometimes it fails...
@@BoopSnoot Correct, it would be better for him than for some medical industry to do it, (they would ask for money and probably make your more sick). In any case however, my main concern is of all the talk that antibiotics will not be useful in a few decades time. So killing his old bacteria with antibiotics won't be feasible if he wanted to repeat this as an old man on some volunteer.
I would hope that a former synthetic biology researcher from NASA would know that if you are going to have a fecal transplant, you should get that person's flora tested first for rotaviruses and other pathogens that may not have yet manifested in the donor's phenotype. He didn't mention what type of capsules he used, but you can't use just any capsules, or you risk getting the transplanted bacteria in the wrong region of the digestive tract. Not to mention that this should all take place in a sterile environment, which is the opposite of a hotel room. Even labs have problems with contamination.
R Stevenson ye I am doubting he actually was a biology researcher at NASA
@@polarugle He certainly was
It worked fyi
What type of capsule would be best
kombucha shall work for me at the moment
I’m seeing this all over the internet but barely any comments here...but I understand. I don’t particularly want to watch this either.
As long as Josiahs stummy feel better, its been a success
with all respect to the scientific community,these sort of things can bring incredible advances.good for you
Like come to think of it... If I was really sick and I had to take poop capsules to get healthier (as crazy as it sounds) I think I would.
if it's inside a capsule, then yes
Fkn stomach pain. I would now if I thought it would help.
Same
I'm thinking about getting this done at the hospital I've heard it has had great results on other patients.
It isn't administrated in capsule form though, they use a nasogastric intubation.
This is why I don't stay at hotels
But why a hotel room? Stay at home and take your poo-capsules
Jodie41202 the idea was to isolate himself from his old bacteria
That and did you see his home? even a hotel looks cleaner.
I would suggest to go to the donor's house. Seems easier to surround yourself with the donor's bacteria all the time in order to be colonised.
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had the donor gave some dirty clothes for him to wear. It may have made a pretty large impact.
it's not just his own bacteria he wanted to isolate himself from but all other bacteria that coulde enter his body and lay wast to his experiment. and hotel rooms are a lot cleaner then most other houses because their are people there who get payed to keep the rooms clean.
(EDIT): also here 7:03 you can see him spraying the room with disinfectant in order to insure his isolation from all other bacteria.
The gut bacteria from the poopings does some *interesting effects.* Apparently creates the different cravings for different foods, and also it can make people younger, if the original host was young and healthy. It's not a magic for everything, but an exciting discovery that is very easy to incorporate as form of medicine.
It's surprising that it works at all. But pls, it's in the form of a suppository, no need to eat ppoopings, pls ! There are cleaner methods to get the good gut biome !
Do your microbes create brain chemistry that causes you to crave foods that they'll appreciate, or do you grow some bugs more than others in response to your diet? HInt: it's both. Research has found fat mice get thin from thin-mice poop and vice-versa.
Pretty certain it can't make you younger.
Daniel N bacteria is the key to breaking Einstein’s theories
This is intense...I discovered new emotions I never new existed
why is this where i end up everytime i youtube at 3 am
Ha ha, 1:45 a.m. here. 😂💖
Josiah, please show us how to biohack insulin for diabetics. Thanks!
Why did we have to watch him bathe tho 😂
Pretty awesome. Happy for you Josiah.
Something about this is morbidly intriguing.
Brave new world! Love ya man!
I like that he's after the functionality more than anything. Biohacking indeed
This is a true hero!
I’d say this as less of an experiment and more of a case study
I understand now why this dude FORMALLY worked at NASA. He’s crazy
This is brilliant
Pioneers are often unappreciated.
This is inspiring indeed.
Impressive dude !!!
Had same problem, built a laboratory and became a stem cell researcher. Then accidentally cured the problem with Curcumin and Berberine. Life be like that some times.
Oh god 🤕 when he's mixing up the poop
I have IBS and I really understand him, gotta search for fecal transplant....
Plot twist: the ATB actually just solved his gut problems and his normal flora re grew
Receded... Mission failed, we'll get em next time.
But this isn't "experimental".
This service is offered at hospitals.
Yeah in Germany and the Netherlands this is quite common! Citizens with healthy microbiomes are encouraged to do stool donations, and it goes similarly as blood donations.
He's brilliant
I believe that stool transplants are currently being undertaken in private clinics in Europe and the US as a strategy for changing body composition. I also recall reading that respective health bodies were going legislate such activities!
This is why you should clean your own hotel when you get there
the poopoo will be with you, my friend
"Poop" and bacterial transplants aren't anything new in medicine. But hey, its never been done by a hipster who locked himself in a hotel room and "biohacked" himself for attention. So he has that going for him.
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
Why the hotel? They are full of other people's bacteria from my ameteur assessment
"for attention" you're telling me that he turned his house into a lab for attention? he has spent some serious time, sweat, and money on this.
...which is nice.
Why does he say doctors told him there was no way to solve this feces issue then?
I really like this guy i think he is doing the world good
I think this guy is amazing and smart h and i would love work with him
-I'm a biohacker
+wow and what are you working on now?
-I eat poop
+...
I read about this dude about a year ago. Been wanting to look him up but couldn't remember his name.
This is wild
never knew Jackspeticeye was a homebrew scientist OMEGALUL
Lmao
*cries about poop*
Great guy. Credit to science.
He biohacks alot of but I want to hear more about the end results
damn he fixed himself. impressive
More people with an understanding of genetics as well as a good idea of their own genetics should consider doing this, as long as they are qualified of course.
This was pretty cool! No hate all positive energy here
Evolve today!
pretty dope
I had to pick one video to eat my dinner to and it haaaaaaaad to be this one. 😣
You can also change gut bacteria by diet. Skin bacteria can be changed not only by changing soaps or eliminating them but by even wearing the other person's clothing. Also we don't understand how meditation or even simple relaxation and exercise can change the biome but it does. What doesn't change more often than not is a quest for an outside agency we can control to take the place of our making personal changes.
My mom dated him a while ago before he got millions thanks mom no joke swear to god
Does everyone your mom date get famous? Hook me up man
He got rich with the self-hacking thing?Im really confuse if he's really a bio-hacker or just want easy money/fame
@@gs-nq6mw can't it be both?
A guy like that will probably spent more time playing Fallout 76 than dating your mother, sonnyboy.
Why didn't he place the feces' bacteria directly where they must be?
in a sketchy room, you're lying on your stomach, half conscious and you caught a glimpse of this guy, wearing surgical mask and adjusting his rubber glove, and you heard him...
... 2:09
wyd?
Liked that video
... and it worked.
Psychosomatic problems, stay away from stress, that´s the best solution.
It´s a common problem these days, sadly.
its always a bad sign when your lab is in a four season hotel on the 5th floor
Soy de colombia y me encantaría conseguir un equipo de investigación, sería un sueño. Mi admiración para usted
Bravo!!!
incredible
I'm fucking moved m8
Fecal transplants are used to treat certain gastrointestinal illnesses with great success. The danger in this case was that the donor's sample wasn't screened for pathogens beforehand. Choosing a healthy donor was good, but a person appearing healthy doesn't mean they can't have some pathogen with no symptoms.
This scary awesome. Humans are to curious to find a new solution.
NASA: Eat shit.
"Biohacker:" As you wish.
what about his drinking habits?
I quit drinking alcohol and gastrointestinal issues stopped and I developed a sweet tooth as well
I would assume he reduced drinking habits in order to not adversely affect his evaluation
Okay... That's pretty crazy..
My name is Josiah!
I expected him to have a 6 pack lol
All of thoes symptoms sound like he wants to eat bread but his body dosent want it
I like all of those earings...
Are we forgetting he’s an expert? He worked in biomed for bloody NASA?
That's amazing and this guy probably learned it from the internet. But man we're so far from Cyberpunk 2077 body mods, is it possible to biohack ur mind to make ur reaction time 500 milliseconds fasters? Or being able to connect memory neuron easier than none mod human.
If you want beef than bring the ruckus
I guess you must have had serious problems with gut health to get to this...
Very interesting do you man you gotta start some where all the greats were crazy
but this is not only crazy, this is also stupid and will get anyone out of any scientific community
@@Naphkal u clearly don't know much science bruh.
I have similar digestive problems and I don't know if I could go this far.
It is admirable that he said screw it I want to try something myself.. I've felt that way after spending days at the hospital in severe pain.
dude science is so fucking rad
It worked? Well, congratulations.
“Most” of his issues receded since the transplant. Did it work or not dude?
9:28 I have that same toy gun my dad kept since he was a kid 😂
Your a badass, you help us think that maybe the rules are wrong.
I would like to donate some bacteria from my throat lymph nodes they have done me well, I had aggressive dental infections for a year and a half untreated due to the pandemic shutting dentists down. I displayed septicaemia twice but recovered within a week and two weeks and had too many abscesses to count and each time before recovering from the infection my lymph nodes would calcify and reduce after the infection had passed for that time. I don’t know if this is just standard or not but these were serious and repetitive cushion abscesses and I have twelve or thirteen lymph nodes I can’t remember exactly but this was pointed out as a mutation in and of itself by the doctor. Please comment if you know how I could do this or if it’s just a normal occurrence. The extra lymph nodes aren’t dangerous as I already had a biopsy.
ate shit changed his bacteria and feels proud, feels bad man
