The Vital Cells of Existence: The Science of Your Microbiome

  • For every cell in your body, there’s another tiny single-celled creature that also calls your body home. Far from being germs we should eradicate, these ancient friends allow us to digest food, breathe air, and fight off disease. They were here long before us and will undoubtedly remain long after we’re gone. They are our microbiome, and after eons of cohabitation, we are finally getting to know one another better. Of course, we aren’t always the best of neighbors. Autoimmune diseases, allergies, depression, and Alzheimer’s may be diseases of an unhappy microbiome.
    PARTICIPANTS: Martin Blaser, Jo Handelsman, Rob Knight, and David Relman

    What's astonishing about human incapacity to learn, is that Alexander Fleming warned against penicillin overuse back around 1940, trying to develop public realization that limited, use is the key to preventing such problems as MRSA.
    The commercial use for domestic food animals has resulted in vastly more likely antibiotic resistance - that industry had discovered increased early growth, and therefore psychopathically used and influenced the present lack of constraints on overuse of antibiotics.

    So how is it people with a total colectomy such as myself live very happily for a normal life expectancy (given that one is cured of Ulcerative Colitis and thus open to die of something completely unrelated).
    Seems evolutionarily quite illogical that we might be so dependent on a microbiota which could change very rapidly say after a bout of diarrhea. Nobody has really any idea what happens to the gut flora during life. Seems to me yes we can do fecal transplants for both C dificile infections and perhaps obesity but that may really mean nothing much since not everyone is obese and we know little of the enterohepatic circulation and its control or variations between individuals, and replacing lost flora to compete with CD may have nothing to do with anything that happens naturally except that the gut flora does not normally allow it to grow.. make hypotheses and test them by all means but do not believe gut microbiota to be “vital” or “key” in any major way that greatly influences human health. It might be more akin to fine tuning but without it we will not die.

    • @solangeabbate7099
      @solangeabbate7099 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a huge amount of research showing that having a strong microbiota can prevent many populations of bacteria from overgrowing. The site also matters. Some microbiota is fine in some body did, but can have huge repercussions elsewhere. An example of the is the yeast "Candida," which is fine in the gut, but can overgrow in the vagina in women, causing a year infection. Communities can also become very hearty, so that the colon may be just one site where the microbiota develop, so something like diarrhea will certainly not develop. These are huge epidemiological studies across populations, so individual outcomes show variants, but these studies care more about what happens across large populations in "most people."

    Another failure, this time in the discussion:
    Throughout development and life, an organism MUST facultatively turn off and on different genes - therefore differing proteins,enzymes, metabolic products.
    In this process, it is mistaken to imagine that microbiota are in any way "domestic."
    Instead interactive stimulation o f CpG methylation, and the complex more seemingly transient release of rather specific portions of DNA for productive activity through acetyl molecules being attached and later removed (yes, there is great likelihood of histone acetylation and deacetylation - the latter a dozen DIFFERENT molecules, very specific to certain active processes - do the changeing that is mentioned as well as facilitate memory, its recovery, association, and the immune system's response to differing "habitats" that occur, with ingestion of different foods and molecules)., ENTIRELY changing body and metabolic states in vast cascades.
    For those who question the absence of conceptual linking in the ENTIRE discussion, these, and a number of transcriptional effects, from RNA changes and other changes to a system's response, effect CONSTANT change.
    Yes, the dissociation from complex natural ecosystems is perhaps THE major driver of the paucities involved in excessively fluctuating immune response.
    NONE of the modalities I note have been remotely approached in this discussion.
    An example - any microbe taken in orally causes cascades. Pretty much the bacteria in yogurt, for example, do not survive the upper GI. Instead they CHANGE the habitat, even in their death and fertilization of consistent and important mutualist bacteria. Injecting other human fecal contents is a profoundly CRUDE method in comparison with the selection that occurs through natural ingestion.
    By 1:02 I have NOT heard the totally unnatural huge active molecules in plastics, many mimicking hormones, throwing metabolic cellular activity into VASTLY differing states. The emotiocognitive effect transiently discussed occur through such perturbances.
