I think the end result of this kind of investigation will be: 1.) The systematic sampling of various bacteria from the bodies of the very long lived, those with greatest cognition in old age, those with the most resilient digestive systems, those with the largest lung capacity, etc etc etc. 2.) These samples will be cultured and refined over decades to create optimal bacteria for every portion of the human body. 3.) Children will have their intestines/mouths/brains/etc inoculated with all the different refined bacteria strains. 4.) Humans will become healthier, longer lived, with greater cognition in old age, with fewer digestive problems and allergies, among many other benefits.

They've actually already started on this path with fecal transplants. They started doing them to help out folks with C. Diff infections, but then they kinda stumbled upon some surprising results. Transplants from skinny people led to obese people losing weight, some samples from people without IBS or ulcerative colitis would reverse IBS or ulcerative colitis, and some folks had their depression alleviated when the transplant came from someone with no history of mental illness. Those results have led to more research into how to use fecal transplants to help with medical conditions that go beyond diseases of the gut. The challenge is that people have around 12,000 species of bacteria in their guts, so trying to figure out what species or combo of species is doing what is gonna take a bit. Plus, we're all lugging around the so-called "forever chemicals" in our bodies, which get taken up into the cells of every species they touch, including bacteria. That adds another layer of research on how damage to those bacteria affects us, on top of our own cells cumulative health affects. We've got a long way to go to reach that optimal health ideal.

It's likely a symbiotic relationship. Bacteria in the gut keeps us healthy. Bacteria in our mouth create nitrous oxide (a good thing). It's when they get out of balance that we get sick (cavities, immunodeficiencies). Good Bacteria keep harmful bacteria in check. If you kill them in your gut, you will die. So it's very likely if you kill them in the brain, you will die.

But if it were at a high enough concentration to kill the bacteria in your brain it'd destroy your brain too. So, being an alcoholic probably doesn't help reduce the bacterial presence in your brain

That happens in your gut which signals to your brain and is 100 per cent true. Well done for noticing it. If you starve them they send some pretty nasty signals too but after a few days and especially if you throw some other bacteria in there like lactobalccilli they die and then stop talking to your brain. And then...things like kale start to taste sweet! And after a while if you taste a Mars bar it tastes like complete crap. But of course they will quickly come back into population if you do. And start the signals again. Green vegetables seem to shut those cravings up for me if I have green juices and eat yoghurt and saur kraut and vegetables. I actually think my whole family have been skin suites for sugar bacteria for generations.

The tooth fairy cleaning lady was shocked - she expected lots of plaque and such, but she said, at most, I had only the equivalent of 6 months.

If you study the way bacteria work with plants and understand how microbiology breaks down nutrients you might see a connection to what's happening with bacteria in bodies. Microbes break down organic matter in soil and make it into something plants can absorb. And the plants have fungi attached to them that communicate with the plant. When the plant wants a specific nutrient or mineral it tells the mycorazea fungi to find it. The fungi has roots that effectively extend the plant roots and the fungu bring the plants what they need, and the plants give the fungi sugars they make. The bacteria break down the organic matter, and some consume the waste of others. Eventually it's broken down and plants can use it, and the fungi work with some bacteria to make it all happen. So my hypothesis, which is being invented right this second, is that a similar chain of microbiology helps us, or hurts us. One thing eats another one and the eventually our bodies use it or get rid of it. I don't think we digest our food as much as the things livung in us break it down multiple times before we absorb or reject what's left. This could be happening even in our brains, a nutrient could come and be eaten several times until the brain uses it or it moves on. Specific bacteria or even fungi could be in there helping, or going wrong and hurting us.

The way I see it, science exists to answer the question why and how. The more you figure out, the more you have to ask why and how. It's a never ending pursuit for the answers, which works by uncovering more questions. The biggest joy in science is finding out we got something wrong and getting to ask a brand new why and how. It always looks like we don't know enough, but we only know that because we've figured out just how far our current knowledge can take us.

It's actually difficult to discern between beneficial, harmless, and harmful. The Candida genus of fungus for example tends to outcompete other more dangerous funguses, but it can also cause disease.

Ive been following this topic closely for a few years now. (Read "The Good Gut" -- excellent basic intro by leading researchers in the field.) Ive also discussed it with my doctor ("we still don't know enough to be prescriptive") as well as my young doctor niece and nephew ("my colleagues and I talk all the time about the gut microbiome-brain discoveries coming out!" and "the most interesting thing I learned at med school"). Ultimately, right now, your best course is to eat a well balanced diet, heavy on fruuts and veg -- with 30 different plants a week the recent gold standard. Although it seems you can never go wrong with roughage. Please keep reporting on this topic and dive deeper into the gut-brain axis.

This is a great presentation on the topic, Anton! Thank you! Part of the success of meditation, and raising our frequencies (equanimity, compassion, etc) to be in coherence with our heart-mind, is that the bacteria and viruses that resonate with lower frequencies will leave us voluntarily, and the more evolved and helpful ones that resonate with our more spiritual qualities will stay and help maintain our bodies and health. It's all about resonance. (I use vibrational flower essences to help with this process, as flowers express the highest frequencies of the plant.)

Perhaps because of my NDE at 15, it's accessible to me. Of course, if you use drugs, just stay with that. Not everyone shares the same spiritual goals or even have any goals.

Meditation is a fine tool to use it for that, besides i replied to your simplistic "nope" so you can't just bait me like that and think you are superior above others by making an "ackhtually" explanation on a simple reply to a numb reply.
