Bacteria in Antons brain: "Hello Wonderful person!"
Nah, that's code for "Hello fellow traveling microbes."
hello wonderful neurons
There have been some scientists who have said that the number of bacteria *do not* outnumber body cells. And that's not considering that some say things in our stomach and gut are not really *inside* us.
"Hello wonderful neuron!"
@@FLPhotoCatcher yes right before we clear out humanure compost it's about equal number ratio. After that it is more human cells than bacteria.
"Mindblowing" is a descriptor I'm uncomfortable associating with anything that lives in my skull.
❤😂 I about hurt myself laughing at yer' comment!
Are you sure the collective of bacteria in your brain isn't the one who's uncomfortable? Maybe your neural network is hijacked to such an extent that you're just partly self-aware bacteria.
@@HarryONeil My work here is done. =p
XD
😂
I think we need to find a way to inform our microbiome that we intend to be cremated after death. That would motivate the bacteria to ensure we don’t die. Immortality achieved!
Love it! That will be my chant at bedtime. "We're all in this together!"
Good idea ❤
@Thegingerbreadm4n Because death can be fatal.
@Thegingerbreadm4n i want to see the heat death of the universe. Solely to fart and see if it could cause a new grand expansion
Bleh. Better to place your hope in the true salvation that is Digital Immortality. Biological Immortality is nigh impossible, even with a known "immortal" species on Earth, they still "die" in a way. They regenerate and lose their original self in the process. There's no known Biological way to preserve your "self", your consciousness.
Flesh is weak. It's an inferior way of life. May a Digital soul be born and release us all from this Biology hell.
Plot twist: Consciousness was never something generated by the human brain, but by the countless bacteria. Our bodies are basically just a glorified host and mouthpiece. 😅
omgee are we a hive mind

Sequel: bacteria are multi dimensional beings

@@baa9223 whoa, nice! What a thought!!!
Dentists really need to start be putting in as part of general healthcare...
Hard to have a healthy body if one doesn't have a healthy mouth.
ABSOLUTELY! Many people have died from heart attacks and other things because of their bad bacteria in their mouth going to the brain… Also, Alzheimer’s dementia! The mouth is a very important part of the anatomy, and should be included in insurance!
I live in an area with a lot of poverty and it's awful to see so many people with their mouth in shambles and nothing they can do about it. I've had trivial problems in comparison that I had to wait some years to be able to fix and I can't imagine just being stuck with no hope of being able to afford care. It saps all of your confidence.
Yup feel flu like they'll cover an ER VISIT... Have a mouth full of cavities and rot, we don't cover that, take some Tylenol and pony up the cash 😢
This. Dear lord this so much. I have tons of trouble with my teeth, I have “great” (compared to many Americans) health insurance, the best dental program available through my job with the state, and it’s still next to impossible to afford to have them fixed. Last time I checked, my teeth, ears, and eyes were part of my body. What’s next? Heart insurance? Finger insurance? Absurd.
I've got an anecdote. I used to get severe panic attacks with chest problems. It was only when I fed my gut bacteria with loads of yogurt, basically taking probiotics, that I noticed the attacks would subside indefinitely. Chobani yogurt is now a part of my diet. Microbiology was my major so this is all very interesting to me.
I'm going to try this too
Part of me wonders if this is going to lead to MAJOR breakthroughs in mental and neurological health treatments in the future.
I noticed the same thing!

Bacterial Burden could be a band name
Others would call it cancer.

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.
except for that pesky weather induced human extinction event you're part of riggt now, so interesting but the end game will never be known
IDK... as things currently stand, this sounds far too beneficial to the common man for the people in power to allow (unless you're rich, of course).
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.
@@williamtomkiel8215 It would take a massive change in the climate to actually wipe us out the current projections seem to be kill lots of people and make everyone else uncomfortable but the quicker we can decrease our co2 emmsions the less uncomfortable it will be we are currently at 30 percent of energy being from renewables and a lot of signs are this is only accelerating with this increasing to 35 percent next year.Co2 emmissions have already peak and are beginning to fall so we have likely avoided the worst case scenarios how quickly these numbers drop will effect which of the less bad scenarios we end up in. The actual acceleration in renewables is far faster than any of the models predicting renewable useage has to be kept being revised upwards
there currently running trials to see if by changing the bacteria in peoples guts does it boost there responce to immunotherapy in cancer

The lack of biodiversity in the ecological environment is reflected by our agricultural monoculture which is reflected by our narrowed diversity of diet which is reflected by a lack of diversity in our microbiome in our gut, mouth, brain and generally giving rise to the rise in metabolic illness in general. We are sick because the environment is sick. Ecological imbalance ===> microbial imbalance. We are not in balance with the planet and that make us sick.

I recall reading (somewhere) about a connection between dental plaque buildup and heart disease/attack. Brush and floss those puppies!
correlation doesn't always equal causation. Poor dental hygiene usually correlatewith just general poor body hygiene so those with poor dental health are also fat and unhealthy and were already at risk
You're correct. I have a heart condition and the doctors keep reminding me to brush my teeth
Brushing or dental procedures can cause transient bacterial invasion of the bloodstream which might eventually get into the heart. If there are any damages to your heart those bacteria can get lodged into them causing heart infection.
@@SuperScarykitty Have you thus stopped brushing your teeth?
@@bobipinemanbut mechanistically, it warrants consideration. Bacterial infiltration into the bloodstream leads to systemic inflammation

This is a really weird one. A healthy individual does not have bacteria or pathogens in their brain. In fact when you get a spinal tap for meningitis the first thing that I look for in the lab is bacterial infections then fungal and viruses. This is different for people that have HIV or dementia as the blood-brain barrier has been compromised.
We are an ecosystem.
This is a revolution in health care tbh
Nah. Its not profitable.
@@ithmithsAnd very complicated, and most anaerobes can hardly be cultivated anyway, so proper probiotics, forget it.
In health STUDIES, not CARE. As for many things we can 100% prove to be true (ie. lead, PFAAs, phthalates, asbestos), that does not necessarily mean our health care system will take it into account. CDC still reccomends to always wear sunscreen. We still use extremely Ineffective SSRIs rather than far more beneficial natural means, anywhere from pre/probiotics and biomes to psilocybin
@@miproduction6196 SSRI do make sense for anxiety (only, tbh), and actual meds convey their effects via H1 antagonism, NMDAR antagonism and anticholinergic effects next to 5HT uptake block.
Problem: Anticholinergic effects lead to cognitive impairment and dementia risk. Excess serotonin also happens in schizophrenia and causes negative symptoms (suppressing DA in the PFC) leading to the "emotional blunting".
Terrible, not worth it. Auvelity is good, rapid effects.
@@miproduction6196what’s wrong with sunscreens
Years ago I started brushing my teeth within 30 min after every meal, plus when I get up, and right before bed.
So yeah, I brush my teeth anywhere from 4 to 6 times per day. You'll definitely want to switch to the softest bristles you can get.
That said, after 6 years of no dental visits, I finally went. 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. (oh, and of course, I had no cavities)
Also, I've been, waaaay, WAAAAY, less sick since I started brushing so frequently.
I've no plans to change. I highly recommend others give it a try.
Just don't use charcoal toothpaste. That stuff destroys enamel. Flossing is very important.
@@highlandlab1924 flossing can literally saw through teeth. charcoal isn't much diff from baking soda...
Same here.
"We are Legion, for we are many"
It is cool to think that we each one an "individual", but yet, we are so many creatures, so many in our bodies coexisting and living, even influencing bodily processes, it boggles my mind, we are one, but many.
All we have to do is discover that bacteria reached us from space and we can say that we have been invaded by aliens.
Let's call them Midi-chlorians
George Lucas was right 😂
My first thought, lol..
The force is strong in this one. 🦾
Lol
Now that, that right there, is a brilliant idea. 😂
Gingerol from Ginger can get past the blood-brain barrier and is antibacterial
Whew. Now I'm not so worried! (Seriously, thank you.)
I eat Ginger Nut cookies everyday with my coffee
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.
Probably not at a concentration that has a meaningful anti-bacterial effect. But I'm sure that can be figured out from what whatever studies determined it can cross the BBB
Random comparison, ethanol is the main component of hand sanitizer and it too can cross the blood brain barrier. 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
I always feel like when I eat too much sugar, my brain gets highjacked by microorganisms that tell me I need to eat more sugar
I think that happens in the gut.
I think that happens in the gut, small intestine.
I have a few autoimmune conditions that go into remission if I avoid sugar & processed foods. Then when I eat sugar for a celebration I always develop sugar cravings which often then causes relapses in psoriasis & arthritis.
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.
Thats fungus…
I had a conversation with my dad about the fact we are basically amalgamations of random virus dna and bacteria rather than individual beings. Its.... uncomfortable.
it's weird to think about but also cool. the human body isn't characterized by separate parts, but as a whole unit.
LOL that's how I see things.. all life = cells viruses bacteria that all are relying on you to feed them lol billions of hungry tiny basterds. If they die you die vice-versa lol
Why would you think that? We have known for a long time that to be a germophobe is a guarantee of being, stupid, crazy, riddled with allergies, heart conditions, bad health, and mental health issues if kept away from the microbiological world especially fro an early age.
Howard Hughes was the classic example back in the 1930s.
We have known for fifty years that the more bacteria you are exposed to, the better you smell to the opposite sex.
We know Forever that washing with soap and shampoo makes you stink of body odor, have skin and scalp infections, and suffer dementia and die far younger than otherwise.
You have a symbiotic cololy of millions of species of nanomachines that you cannot survive without.
You have been told otherwise by the Aholes that run the world, to make you sick, stupid, a slave, that will be easily controlled, and die quickly and profitably from many illnesses once they have used you to maintain their empires.
Wonder in the miricke of this. You are connected to the Web of life through these bacteria, viruses and fungi.
Enjoy the miracle 😉🙄
And don't brush your teeth, at least not with germlcides and titanium dioxide abrasive. Anton got that wrong🙄😂 that's a scam to kill and make you sick for profit too.
to what degree have we been individuals if we eat so many species and are kept alive by symbiosis and eg mitochondria?
it's okay because, noone learns language by themselves, nor do we learn to eat all by ourselves, if anything, we're better off together. your food, your building, it's all done together!
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.
Thanks for reminding us that most bacteria in our bodies are harmless, and a few are beneficial. Don't assume that they're all bad guys.
But it may be the bacteria in you speaking so how can we trust you?
Found the bacteria.. but its kind of like being reminded of how you are now manually aware of your breathing, it's fine when you don't think about it, but right now there's trillions of tiny bugs all over you, your eyes, lungs, ears, nose, even your brain!
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. It's like a slight debuff that gives us immunity to other debuffs. Really complex and interconnected stuff.

This shows how 'little' we/scientists really know about life and the human body.
Speak for yourself.
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.
@@PhilipPedro2112 If you think you do, you *really* don't
@@Harry-cj3yu Just how, not why. Causal relations only reveal how. Why is asking for meaning, which is not a scientific endeavour. More methaphysical or religious question.
Once we have discovered the action and role of multiple 'fellow travellers', perhaps we might be advised to investigate how environmental factors (food, drink, sugars, heat, cold, synthetics & etc) affect these small companions? What encourages health, and what engenders dysfunction leading to whole organism distress.
I have had some success improving my gut biome. Cellulose and other complex sugars seem to be what they like. Cooked cabbage seems to work well. TBH the health of my gut seems directly proportional to the stinkiness of my flatulence. YMMV
Kinda worries me what SSRIs or other synthetic chemicals might me doing to the brain microbiome 😢

Borrelia burgdorferi sp. have been demonstrated in Harvard Alzheimer’s brain collection.

Lyme causes many neurological, neurodegenerative, and neuropsychiatric conditions. Well worth an investigation on your wonderful channel.
The moment I found out that bacteria is the reason that the mother creates a placenta that’s the moment I realize that everything is symbiotic and sharing even when looking bad. There is no good and bad, just been blinded by that knowledge.
Indeed. Bacteria seem to be the primary route of horizontal gene transfer between organisms not related.
You've got to try psilocybin for sure.
The point is not who does what, but why the mother thinks she has the right to impose life on other being, when she has no control over the genes she passes and on, and no one guarantees the well being of the new life.

All this reminds me of the very important symbiotic relationship between Fungi and Tree's. The fungi helps breakdown and absorb nutrients for the plants that the plants wouldn't have been able to on their own. Same goes for Microbes and the Human body.

@TheYuccaPlant
We must use radically different methods.
It is called a placebo by those who don't do it properly.
You cannot duplicate Absolute Oneness without doing it, yet many monks meditate their whole lives and never reach that level of blissful consciousness; of No Head. 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. If you don't, just say so. Don't project "placebo" on a practice you have no experience in doing. Fair enough?
😄🤗
@ruthanneseven seems to me like you've found your thing with it and I'm happy for you but what i said is basically the same thing. By connecting with our predetermined coding in the stardust that makes us, there is an infinite knowledge we can tap into. You think a placebo is fake so you assume negative intentions with that comment even though a placebo is literally convincing your brain to fix your body and mind. 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.
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.
Utterly fascinating as always. I'm getting towards the end of my life, and I plan to donate my body for scientific research (when I'm eventually obliged to return to the pavilion).
Me too. They will hygienically dispose of anything they don't use, saving my survivors the cost of a funeral or cremation.
I hope you have a good innings! 😁
I’ve seen the way these research people manhandle corpses. If you want your brain plucked out then smacked around like a strippers booty cheeks on a Friday night so a dozen students can satisfy their morbid curiosity, then go for it. Not for me.
Thank you for keeping me informed, Anton!
I believe dreams are connected with all these bacteria in our system.....and also intuition.

Uh oh! Now they know we know….
And it all works well together, good lesson to learn.

@@kaoskronostyche9939
A pupil in highshool (to be honest even someone who has lower secondary school knowledge) can already understand the topics mentioned by Anton. There are no mathematics, no undergraduate or even graduate level research is required to listen his videos, making them much more surface level. If you want more thought and rigour, start reading the articles linked below each Anton's video. Remember the channel is done for purely popular science and not professional.
Never forget that half of the population has below average intelligence. By definition.
And there's the tendency for low self awareness to be associated with low intelligence.

Thank you so much for covering topics like this, Anton! 🙌
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🙂
They've also linked oral health to heart disease and several other ailments but the takeaway is that the older you get the more you need to brush and use a mouthwash.
But the mouthwash is dangerous these days, and it takes away good bacteria that we need… The toothpaste is bad these days! They need to do a whole turnover in the Dental industry and consider it health insurance
See your dentist every 4 months not 6 months.
Floss like your life depends on it
@@ronilittle7028 The bacteria in the mouth is constantly getting reseeded from everywhere else. You need to brush because the immune system is poor at dealing with biofilms on the teeth and gums specifically.
Once you use mouth wash you kill an entire days load of beneficial bacteria that come back starting weaker and fluoride is the most deadly chemical on earth, never swallow and wait till your 6😮.
The biome in our guts is very influential for our general health. The gut, especially in children seems to be able to allow gut microbes to cross the blood-brain barrier into the spinal fluid. This mechanism is implicated in polio.
I for one love the fact that we evolved with certain species of bacteria, that we are not born with, that are absolutly essential for our survival..
Also if you are a biom, instead of an "individual" then you are literally never alone. ;)
Waiting for the first brain microbiome transplant at this point.
Fecal transplants probably accomplish that
FMT Fecal Microniome transplants are already a thing! Cures c-diff infections better than antibiotics
I knew the cavity creeps were bad, but Alzheimer's? That's some nefarious germs!
❤ Mr. Anton talking about bacteria and cells ❤
Thank you wonderful person for all your videos!
I, for one, support our swarming underlords
fascinating, thank you
The largest neural network goes from the brain to the stomach. Most signals go from the stomach bacteria to the brain, not the other way around. This is said to even influence things like social behaviors.
Id like a device that can hear microbes amplify sounds
Here I was looking for a comment about Osmosis Jones. Never thought that it would be a username! Bravo!
I got up and brushed my teeth.
Just as rare earth hypothesis involves countless unlikely series of events in specific circumstances which then lead to life flourishing for billions of years, perhaps consciousness emerges thanks to an unlikely series of rare events and specific circumstances.
Thanks Anton for some contagious thoughts!
Some people like RFK Jr have even more critters in their brains.
Great great video. We’re learning thinks that we’ve never imagine !!! Thanks form Mexico City 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hallo, wundervolle Person :)
Hallo
They're our "micro-cattle", make sure they're the right type and that they're reasobavly happy by adjusting your diet towards low carb.
Not low carb. The better carbs. The complex carbs and sugars like cellulose that need bacterial action to digest. Cabbage is king!
@@dbmail545 We don't digest cellulose at all, only ruminants and other specialists can. Cellulose = fiber and it's "low carb" precisely because it's not digestible.
And that's why "all bran" tastes like cardboard: it's essentially the same thing.
Cabbage is fine, I like to add some, slightly fried, to my meat or also finely chopped for salads (more interesting than lettuce IMO).
Your videos are just wonderful, thanks, Anton. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Great video Anton!!??
Too bad they didn't discover this while the Big Bang Theory show was still on. I can imagine the characters saying things like "my brain germs are better than yours!"
Wild.. wait til the cordyceps figure out how to survive inside... 😉
😬. So' a nut house and some thorazine to back out of it? Go stand in the corner of a round rubber room.🤨
Excellent video! Great subject. Loved it.
A classic. Thanks, Anton. : )
We are bones with meat hanging off of it.
😂😂😂
I keep trying to just be bones. It’s more difficult than it seems.
Or meat keeping bones together, so they don’t collapse in a heap.
That describes the hog hanging in my smokehouse. I don't think is a very useful description of me.
Microbiome is the biggest difference in twins
In the ones raised separately, yes
I watched a talk recently and the global expert on our Microbiome said flatly, using the guidelines of biology as it stands today the Human is just the structural frame for the ecosystem that lives within us. Because without that ecosystem we wouldn’t exist.
I don't use any fluoride toothpaste I just put a little bit of that 3% hydroxy peroxide on my toothbrush and I haven't had a problem since
My mind is blown Anton.
Have I mentioned that I’m a real time traveler from the year 2076?
You are a powerhouse of awesomeness!
Thanks for the great video Anton
Brings a whole new meaning to "culture".
I speak to the bacteria in my brain. They have names and hobbies.
The bacteria in my brain love music, gardening, identification of wild edible plants anime, and anything sci-fi. 😅
I always wondered why the voices in my head were so squeaky and high pitched.
Thank god the civilization that isn't just in us but is us isn't a majority rule
Badass! 👌
Can’t wait until we learn more.
*RFK Jr.’s slightly eaten brain has entered the chat*
This is why I drink a lot of whiskey!
Love it, great job buddy, thx.
Anyway good video, thank you for your work
You asked “who are we?”, but then you referred to “what” we are. Persons are not mere objects, persons are not mere “things”. Persons are minds, persons are conscious, and have freedom of the will.
If you ask “who” we are, you are not asking what material we are made of. That is “what” we are.
Great video,very interesting topic, thanks 👍😊
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.)
A very interesting subject which is indeed very under researched. This video also reminds me that I flunked Latin in primary school. All those Latin names for different types of bacteria which I would never be able to keep straight in a million years. Thanks, Anton!
Interesting Anton thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate. Great channel
