380 Trillion Viruses already a part of us.
The microbiome of the human body, inside and out we have about 38 trillion bacteria yet we have 380 trillion viruses. This is called the human virome. We need to expand beyond the human genome box and focus our attention on the vital roles these viruses have on our body. We may be able to send outdated theory of vaccines in our past, giving birth to a new understanding of how to treat disease. "The viruses that have evolved with us for so many years are not only part of our past, but will play a significant role in the future of human health."

Are our bodies receptors to new microbes or are we deflecting them?
Don't touch my Microbes! I started to always ask myself before I do something to my body "will this protect or harm the microbes in and on my body?" From the time we wakeup to shower, lather our hair, our body, slathering on lotions, creams, applying make up, spraying fragrances, deodorants, wearing clothes freshly washed in detergents. Our we shielding ourselves from beneficial microbes? I would say so. We are now learning how ailments begin with a disruption in our gut microbiome. What are we doing in our life to lose our beneficial microbes. Ask oneself, what has changed in my life before my diagnosis? What did I start eating or drinking or what medicines did I start taking? What chemicals, toxins, poisons am I surrounded by. What am I breathing or absorbing in? All our little day to day life routines and even the new ones we introduce could be the beginning of the loss of our microbes.
Could wearing a mask effect our mouth microbiomes?
"The impact of using face masks on oral health
What we thought as protective equipment may also be something that can endanger us if we’re not aware of its negative implications to our health.
Increases tooth decay - due to the dryness in the mouth caused by face masks, there is not enough saliva to flush food particles in our teeth. With bacteria thriving in the presence of sugar, they will start to breed from the food particles and cause tooth decay. Inflamed gums -Inflammation is our immune system’s response to the attack of bacteria and viruses. It is never a good sign and can mean that the abundance of bacteria in our mouth is attacking the gums due to the lack of antimicrobial components of saliva. If left untreated, it can lead to periodontal disease.
Bad breath
Halitosis or bad breath is due to the odor-causing bacteria present in our mouth and prolonged dryness in the mouth which makes it worse. You may notice this when there’s a change in the smell of your breath whenever you’re wearing a facemask for hours and your mouth starts to dry up.
Gum disease is an irreversible dental condition and requires lifetime care. It can start with a dry mouth or plaque buildup and slowly damages the gums and bone structure in the mouth. It begins without early warning signs or pain and only becomes apparent when symptoms like receding and inflamed gums start to show. Changes in drinking and breathing behaviors while wearing a face mask, makes drinking water a chore. That’s why many of us forget to hydrate which is a risk factor for a number of health conditions. People are also prone to breathe through their mouths while wearing a mask to increase inhalation capacity. However, doing so makes dry mouth worse and can lead to various dental conditions. Dental professionals recommend breathing through the nose, keep drinking water, and maintain oral hygiene to avoid dry mouth and the dental problems that come with it."
Could these natural foods prohibit viral replication?
Compounds being tested on it's affect against SARS - CoV-2: Citrus sp., Curcuma sp., C. sappan, and A. galangal. Work is still being done but could these compounds potentially inhibit viruses such as SARS - CoV19-2? It turns out, the flavonoids present in citrus pith contain hesperiden
Antibiotic Treatment Link to type 1 Diabetes
Of course it does. What are antibiotics? It's more toxic chemicals burdening our bodies. I understand it's well intended practices to administer medicine. "Do no harm" oath is sidelined with good intentions, but we all know the road to hell is paved with them. Id say, administering any meds creates a magic show in our body. When we take any form of toxin via mouth, inhalation, injection we are making the body to change course. We are drawing attention away from any current injury, infection or illness. When we introduce a new toxic insult our body will see this is a violation. All hands on deck, the body will no longer focus on our injury but focus on the new meds just entering into our body. This is why we start to feel "better." The energy and attention will be moved towards the toxin. When has healing felt comfortable? Out bodies heal at night while we sleep and lay still. Rest and being immobile is important for the body to try to stich itself up. Why do doctors have to put us to sleep when they perform surgery? They don't want us to move around nor feel the pain. Our body uses no meds and performs most of its healing while we sleep.
New study came out saying it's the toxins that are linked to diabetes.
Antibiotics protect pathogenic microbes
Bacteria can outsmart our medicines, cleaning agents, sanitizers even deodorants. Bacteria are aware and has mechanisms to thwart these toxic chemicals. They create biofilms which are layers of different bacteria shielding itself and this is why medicine become outdated. Why is it that a cancer cell after one round of chemo can thwart next round of chemo? It has a pump that pushes out the chemo, this is why chemo has to be changed up and made stronger. It's a vicious cycle and unfortunately the patient becomes its victim.
Bacteria participate in population-level behavior; autolysis, cannibalism, & programmed cell death.
"Nutrient availability is often the critical factor limiting growth and controlling a bacteria population’s behavior. In response to changing environmental conditions, bacteria participate in population-level behavior such as autolysis, cannibalism, and programmed cell death. Autolysis, the self-digestion of the cell wall, is associated with several essential cell functions in bacteria, including spore formation, providing nutrients for persisting cells, and the transfer of genetic material to the remaining population. Cannibalism is a precursor to sporulation in which non-sporulating sister cells have been shown to autolyse after toxins are produced by sporulating cells in the same population. Autolysis and cannibalism have also been linked to biofilm maintenance and growth, and the secretion of lytic proteins
Antibiotic use & cleaning of rooms, left behind bugs w/ greater capacity to acquire resistance genes
When new patients initially entered rooms, they would immediately begin to pick up the microbes left by previous patients and by staff on hospital surfaces. But within 24 hours, the flow of microbes started to reverse, from the patient back to the room. So over the course of a patient's stay, their skin and the room surfaces became microbially similar.
Microbes for Dogs!
Could your dog be suffering from gut dysbiosis? Itchy skin, allergies, smelly flatulence, poor teeth, bad breath, mood, appetite, arthritis, joint pain? What causes animals to have gut issues? Glyphosate use, pesticides, contaminated air, water, soil, artificial foods, plastic chew toys, over vaccinating, antibiotics, eating foods not intended for animals like wheat soy, corn, fillers. Microbiome labs just introduced probiotics for dogs. Three strains in their formula to help with inflammation, and healing the gut lining.
Bacillus subtilis HU58 & Bacillus licheniformis (SL-307)- "spore-forming probiotics that produce digestive enzymes, strengthen the immune system, produce short-chain fatty acids, and maintain the gut barrier."
Pediococcus acidilactici - "is lactic acid-producing bacterium that has a wide range of benefits in dogs. It has been used to treat dogs with digestive symptoms like constipation and diarrhea, as well as dogs infected by parvovirus. P. acidilactici is also known to crowd out unwanted pathogens like Shigella species, Salmonella species, Clostridium difficile, and E. coli. FidoSpore™

Gut Bacteria found on larvae eats plastic...
Microbiomes of insects may be the future of eliminating plastics. One species of caterpillar larvae carries a microbe from the genus Acinetobacter that can break down polyethylene. This microbe can live on plastic for up to a year. There is an increase in the number of bacteria when eating plastic. My question, is this healthy bacteria for the larvae or pathogenic overgrowth like yeast? https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2020.0112
We have only 22,000 genes
Guess how many genes our microbes have? 3.5 million. Our countries focus has always been about our genes. How is it that an earthworm has 44,000 genes? Are they more sophisticated than us?
99% of all metabolic functions come from the genes that come from microbes in our body. Our genes account for 1% or less. 99% of who we are and what we do, come from microbes in and on us. Fluoride, antibiotics overuse, antimicrobials, separation of sterilized environments
80% immune cells are coated with bacteria. The microbiome communicate and identify themselves as good bacteria, so our immune system won't start attacking them. Colitis, crohns, IBS, randomly attack friendly bacteria resulting in constant inflammation. All this damage creates a breakdown communication in those systems.
