-We have 10 trillion cells in our body and 100 trillion or more bacteria cells. For every single cell of skin, we have 32 bacteria cells on our skin.

-Humans are superorganisms, a walking talking rainforest, a complex ecology living in one collective. Disruptions in the ecology lead to disease.

-We have pathogenic bacteria as a normal part of our ecology. They play important parts in our ecology and are only problematic when the balance is disrupted.

-H. pylori is associated with stomach ulcers, but H. pylori eradication drastically increases risk of gastroesophageal cancer. See Martin Blaser’s Missing Microbes.

-When body is hit with a lot of antibiotics, the bacteria that protect against antibiotics flourish. H. pylori is a spirochete, and it spirals into stomach lining to survive. We are selecting for the bacteria that can burrow in deeper, for a more virulent pathogenic version.

-Why did MRSA show up? All the use of antibiotic has selected an antibiotic resistant strain.

-50% of antibiotic use is unnecessary.

-If selection pressure is removed, bacteria will come out of hiding.

-Oregano oil, colloidal silver, mastic gum – all have killing effect, but none have precision and are killing good and bad bacteria.

-Most pathogens come from us or species that exist close to us. E. coli is a normal part of the gut. It’s a particular type of e. coli that comes from cows that is pathogenic to humans, but it is pathogenic because of all the antibiotics the cows are exposed to.

-An active infection requires antibiotics, nuking everything. But before that point, we could control the pathogen with good practices, such as animal grazing.

-Less than 1% of bacteria are pathogenic. Best way to control the pathogenic is to allow the good 99% to flourish.

-Hand sanitizers or antibacterial soaps give the rogue bacteria a chance to flourish.

-Households using chlorine bleach cleaners around the house have children with a higher incidence of allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems.

-Kiran cleans by putting a few drops of essential oil into a bottle of water and spraying the surface.

-We want our house to have a lot of different bacteria. Having a dog will make the household healthier. Clean doesn’t mean sterile.

Gap at 9:35.

-The bacteria in fermented food will die in the stomach acid. But all the things the bacteria did during the fermentation process are nutrients for the rest of the bacteria in the gut. It’s all about the soup.

-Probiotics aren’t useful. Zero scientific substantiation that more cfu is better. Strains that are used in them aren’t making it through the gut.

-Healthy primitive peoples lived in dirt. The natural probiotics in dirt are where our ancestors got their probiotics. These are bacteria that can get past the stomach acid and live in the intestines, where they create a huge measurable change in that microflora.

Bacillus endospores exist as a natural part of our gut and also outside in the environment. They act as gut police. Are capable of quorum sensing.

When bacillus endospores identify pathogenic bacteria or bacteria in high numbers, they park next to them and release up to 25 antibiotics against them.

-Kiran’s two products: MegasporeBiotics have 5 bacillus endospores and has a higher strength. Just Thrive has 4 strains. That’s all the strains you need.
