THE HUMAN MICROBIOME: A New Frontier in Health

Microbiome expands the genetic and functional capacity of its human host. Susan Lynch explains that human microbiome develops early in life and that gut microbes shape immune function and relate to disease outcomes in childhood. She also explores next-generation microbiome therapeutics and research. Recorded on 11/07/2019. [12/2019] [Show ID: 35240]

Sulfite intake is directly linked to asthma symptoms and urticaria. Sulfites are ubiquitous, as they are used as a fumigant, antimicrobial agent and bleaching agent in the manufacturing/processing of foodstuffs. In the U.S. ingredients of ingredients are not required to be listed on food labels. So you won’t see sulfites listed when they are used in the processing of food raw materials. The worst offender is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Sulfites are used as antimicrobial “preservatives” in high fructose corn syrup at 1000 times the level permitted by the FDA as an additive, but as an ingredient of an ingredient, it need not be disclosed. Compounding this problem is the fact that many pediatricians tell parents of asthmatic children to replace milk with juice - often containing high fructose corn syrup, thus heavily laden with sulfites. Sulfites are also used as a bleaching agent in regular sugar, flour and salt. So condiments and gravy and other flour products can be a problem. Sulfites are also used in the manufacturing process of all alcoholic beverages and all sugared beverages. Additionally, sulfites are found in all frozen seafood, to prevent black spots. The food technology industry has been allowed to become insidious in renaming high fructose corn syrup and even changing the manufacturing process, making it more potent and requiring more sulfites. There is information available on the internet regarding the tested content of sulfites in foodstuffs and the renaming of HFCS. If you, or someone you know suffer from asthma it’s worth the effort to research. Most of this information regarding sulfites became known because previously, restaurants were allowed to sprinkle metabisulfite on salad bar foods, e.g., greens, veggies, fruit, etc., resulting in more than a few asthmatics having immediate lethal asthma attacks. HTH!

Colitis is a specific physical disease, that requires a specific diet. Please educate yourself on why the doctor would have told him this, instead of making broad statements that essentially show you don't know what you're talking about and you just have an agenda that you would like to spout.

[@desertrose9919]

The reason the doc said that is because its true, in diseases where leaky gut has caused the gut to be badly damaged you cannot digest fibre and it causes more inflammation. The patient needs a strict elimination diet, like the specific carbohydrate diet, which allows the gut to heal and pinpoint specific foods which the patient has intolerance of whilst eating A multi strain Pro biotic lactose free yoghurt plus a fermented food daily.

[@Growndweller]

If you lose the carpet of healthy gut bacteria, you are unable to absorb the byproducts of fibre digestion, hence developing colitis and diarrhoea. The doctor was completely correct in telling your sister's boyfriend that.

[@TheBodyScientist81]

Great video. I have been educating my clients on this for the last 20 years. It's SUPER important. I have been taking HSO probiotic supplements and eating fermented foods my entire adult life.

This is a little long but I think it’s kind of interesting. I was a 4oyr old nurse that had naturally been thin all my life. I could eat all I wanted and did. I was a formula feed baby. I was brought up an a meat and potatoes diet. We always has a meat (beef, pork mostly, and sometimes chichen, NO fish or NO seafood) so we always had a meat, a starch whether it was potatoes or rice, and a vegetable. I don’t remember there being any fruit in my house when I was a child. I even had a set of triplets and all the weight I had gained came right off at age 33. However, everything changed when I was 37. I have breast cancer and needed surgery and 3 different chemo medications over 4 months. I pretty much made it through okay. But come about 1 1/2 - 2 years later I started to blow up like a balloon. I was gaining weigh so fast that sometimes my abdomen ached. I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t eat as much as a used to eat and I started eating very little but still the weigh kept coming. It hit my belly first convincing everyone around me that I was pregnant. I was not. My doctor looked for tumors or cysts like on an ovary and there was none. Just fat. I know had a fatty liver and I don’t drink. The weight still kept coming. I went from weighing 125 lbs to 200 lbs over a few years. I have been at 200 lbs for probably 4 years now. I’m currently 50. But my weight still creeps up. I will look at the scale and I will be 210 lbs and then I have to starve to death to try to get back down to 200. I have tried dieting but I get sick when I down eat. Meaning my stomach hurts, I get a headache, and I’m nauseous. So instead a try eating just a small portion of food but that only holds me at this weight, Here’s the interesting part and this is all guess work on my part. This is all so new my doctors think I crazy. Remember that I am a nurse. My specialty is working with diabetics. Almost of of them are type II which is the one associated with obesity. My glucose level has been steadily raising and I now had pre-diabetes. No doubt to become full on type ii diabetes. I had 21 patiences a day and I worked a lot of hours. If you’re thinking many diabetic nurses are thin you are probably right but there are a lot of fat ones too. Here’s what’s different in my case. I had my gut biome completely destroyed by chemo therapy. One week before I started chemo I had some kind of skin infection so the doctor gave me everything under the sun that would kill whatever was affecting my skin. I had strong full spectrum antibiotics, anti-virus medicates and I don’t remember what else. So for the week prior to starting chemotherapy I had already given my gut biome a good killing. Then for four straight months, death to my gut biome. Going back to my job. I always eat the same foods that these people eat because I never brought my lunch so i would just steal the extra trays of food. I was very up close and physical with all these patients while taking care of there missing limbs, wounds that wouldn’t heal, and all kind of diabetes ii problems they had. At times I would have to use the main bathroom where many patients also used although they were supposed to use their bathrooms in their room. I know my microbiome was pretty much wiped out. The chemo also wipes out and reeks havoc with your immune system. I think as my biome was replacing itself it did it just like when you are a child. It got it from my environment and that happen to be a diabetes ward with a bunch of obese patients and their families. I think a fecal transplant but there’s not a lot doing obesity. Most are already full. And beside I live on the gulf side of Florida. And the weigh transplants aren’t near me. Another problem is that nobody takes me seriously. My story could be a possibility. It’s not impossible that it happened sort of like this. One good thing came out of chemo. Before chemo I had restless leg syndrome so bad most nights that I would cry because i was frustrated and it hurts. It would go on so long that eventually I would be so exhausted I would fall asleep for a little while. Well, guess what’s gone for almost a decade and a half? Yep, RLS completely gone. I think that is due to the destruction that chemo therapy does to your nerve or maybe it’s an unknown virus. I have no idea but I am so glad it’s gone. I wish I could tell this to a chief researcher of RLS. It might just be a fluke or maybe it could give them a clue.

Re making a baby, I strongly suggest we study Ayurvedic principles, so we don't re-invent the wheel, so to speak. Most of us have forgotten how to make a healthy baby.

[@sereanaduwai8313]

This not a new concept. There are Drs around the world who have worked in healing people by looking at the Gut as the source of problems first and foremost years ago. Humans are host to all forms of microbes. Its their interaction with us via the bowl that has to be the major priority in managing illness . Theres no way things will change because the simple truth is no money will be made from curing us from diseases like Diabetes, Heart, etc. The money is in medication.

Fascinating and well presented. It would be great to see some controlled studies on the health effects of fasting and time-restricted eating, both of which eliminated my chronic atopic dermatitis. No doctor had helped me before that, or suggested a link between my gut and my skin. Of course, fasting and eating fewer meals are free, so probably a hard sell.

[@gesund_mit_chris_IG]

That‘s so great to hear, good job! I had pretty significant skin issues in early childhood before my body really started rebelling after leaving Highschool (severe pains, digestive issues, anxiety, etc.). For me it seems the cause was a mix of stress, poor diet and microbiome issues (C-section, antibiotics). So I am in the process of healing up those issues with a healthy diet, light intermittent fasting and soon a microbiome transplant. Fascinating stuff.

I started making my own bacteria. They suggest taking feces from a healthy person to transfer to another person. That is backward thinking to me. Probiotics are not enough in pill form for me. I started making things with kefir grains, yogurt, and I only eat smoothies with fiber and tons of bacteria that help me. I just usually use almond milk and I use a small amountwith regular milk introduced with kefir, probiotic pills, and yogurt. I will use just sugar water for bacteria to grow it. It tastes great. It is water kefir pretty much.

[@etmax1]

It's good that she says clearly that this isn't the answer to everyone's problems. A word of note, my wife and I have a virtually identical diet, and where mine was always quite good and and balanced hers was very meat centric until I came along. Also I am way more athletic than she ever was. Now in the twilight of our lives I've had serious cardiac events and high blood pressure and struggle with my weight but no diabetes and she is as slim as the day I met her with low blood pressure and no sign of heart disease yet pre diabetes. This shows that the equation is extremely complex, and well beyond this very interesting presentation. What is need is an "overlord" that looks at this and the many other research projects going on and "filters" the content.

[@tracyjoell]

I saw a similar example with my parents. My dad jogged six miles a day, he played sports in college, never smoked. Mom had type 2 diabetes, smoked most of her life, stopped at 70 y/o. Her diet was terrible, sugary sodas, high simple carb diet. Mom outlived dad nearly a decade. As a dentist, I am realizing that root canal treatments on teeth can be a major cause of disease. I have read three great books on the subject, start with ''The Root Canal Coverup", by Meinig.

[@dfinite4089]

In fact, seems you are saying what Dr Lynch says in a section of this video, in other words. Yours distort what she said, in a slight way, but still you haven’t laid by kind of scientific golden egg here. Additionslly, what you provide as “proof” is a mini study comprising of only two people. Therefore, it’s not a scientific study. It’s what most people mistake for a scientific study; it’s simply a subjectively reported experience of 2 people. That being said, it also reinforces precisely what Dr Lynch reported in this video: the differences in generic microbiome, and it’s effects. (Or maybe I am bringing in parts of Dr Lustig’s video?)

[@etmax1]

@@dfinite4089 I make no claim of my "results" being scientific, only that they are accurate. I don't intend to distort what she says. As to differences in micro biome, the differences in the way the "shit stinks differently" for people in the same household for similar diet is testimony to that 🙂
