Last year I've had a lot of urinary tract infections and had to take several antibiotics for months. Granted I was unemployed after graduation and my relationship at the time was leading nowhere, but I have never been that depressed... Like, I don't want to leave my bed depressed and I don't want to see anyone depressed. Never had a depression before, this one also went away on its own, even though I was still unemployed. I took probiotics to restore my destroyed gut flora and I believe it really did help and that my depressive state was caused by the antibiotics killing all my good bacteria.
this is scary considering that we might not like certain aspects of our behaviour or worst our parents behaviour. This makes it harder for us to change
I just did a group project on something along these lines. I'd be all for finding how altering your microbial flora can help anxiety and depression. A lot of those medications have not fun side effects, and it'd be interesting to see if this method would be a better way of helping without such negative side effects.
I actually did a whole video about fecal transplants here on the channel a little while back- and how they're using synthetic feces in the transplants now. You should check it out! -Anthony
I love the realization that I am basically a hive mind of microorganisms. I would also love scifi style symbiotic nanomachines that also affect my personality, help my body be more efficient at repairing itself, constantly back up my brain encase I need them to reformat a stem cell/tissue engineered replacement if it was killed, and fend off disease/cancer.
The coolest thing about these new understandings of the micro biome is that relatively simple things like eating more probiotic foods can dramatically influence your body & mind. I started a company to connect more people with DIY Fermentation based on this fact so please reach out to me, or Artisan MN, if you're interested in learning more.
Being a med student your comment about "bacterial drugs" makes a lot of sense. I know that they are doing feces transplants in order to cure GIT diseases abut are there any studies done about those bacterial drugs?
What you see, hear and taste have a much bigger impact than bacteria... When I'm around different people my personality differs, even if I don't touch them...
If it helps fight depression, maybe that bacteria is helping me : ) Being bipolar is sometimes a real pain so knowing bacteria helps me makes me happier : ) Awesome video!
that really depends on the reason for being a vegetarian. i am a vegetarian for ethical reasons concerning the treatment of animals raised for meat as well as the environmental impact of raising livestock. lab grown meat solves these issues, however, many vegetarian options are still healthier than meat (especially red meat), so i think many vegetarians would stick to a mostly non-meat diet.
On a daily basis being when I do my normal everyday thing I am not to concerned with germs even though I know I probably am in contact with millions of the little buggers. If I am in a "strange" environment I notice I tend to be more concerned of what I come in contact with. Also I have HUGE problem with using a public restroom.
How to make army of ninjas. 1.Find a ninja that likes you. 2.Get the ninja to paly with a dog for a week. 3.Send a the dog to a local park with lots of kids. And there you have it a army of ninjas your welcome!
Personality is the psychological immune system. Certain traits offer benefits in some areas while being disadvantageous in others. Personality traits are the claws, fast legs, and sharp senses of the social world. Just physical illness are caused by a combination of an intruder and a failure of the immune system to stop it mental illness is caused by a combination of stessful external stimuli and a failure of your personality to carry you through it.
I really think no one is in control of themselves. Every decision a person make is a reaction based on what their five senses and knowledge has collected. Think of yourself as a program that rewrites its code every time and the code depends on the type of information you've gathered. In a sense, living things are complex machines while machines are dumb down version of living things.
Mentally / emotionally ill people do often have a strong body odor. I never really thought about the bacteria involved. I just thought it was hygienic.
I'm really curious how they figure out things like, we have 2 - 5 lbs of these micro organisms on us at any given point. How do they come up with that weight?
+lUvsUngU This reminds me of DBZ when Goku and Vegeta were fighting Buu's shit bacteria on his intestines and bacteria were absorbing them to get digested hahaha. Oh look Vegeta people popcorn hahaha.
You say we're covered in mind control bacteria, what I got from this is more we are the bacteria as well as the animal, we are less a single creature and more a sentient habitat. This leaves me with a strange idea about a sentient forest where the though processes are performed by the animals and plants moving around within, we are this except bacteria = animals and neurons = plants.
I like your video, but I don't understand what you say. Could you please provide captioning / subtitle for me, but don't depend on TH-cam's 'iffy' automatic captioning? Thanks
Actually it's that "overlord" aspect which has made me question whether I should really welcome additional bacteria into me through ingesting probiotics and fermented foods. Instead I tend to ingest large quantities of garlic and peppers to kill off the bugs inside me. I do value the sovereignty of my conscious energy afterall. ..But for now, I have conversely been gravitating toward the ingestion of more probiotics, as they do seem to offer alluring benefit. Just this morning I was listening to a woman speak as a health expert on the subject, while telling of her own personal story in dramatic recovery from ill health thanks to priobiotic bacteria. I'm thinking it may be time for me to try it out for awhile. Though eventually I expect to go back to minimizing bacteria in me with fasting and cleansing. Waxing and waning my ways of being for balanced experience.
Wow.. dude for someone who sounds smart when you speak, the stuff you're saying you're doing is really stupid. Deliberately killing your gut flora / fauna? Jesus I could sit here typing for the rest of the week and not fully cover all of the ridiculously negative health effects that will have on you. The most obvious being malnutrition but there's a list of about a million other things you're going to screw up in yourself if you're actually successful in killing off your gut flora / fauna.. or any of the other symbiotic microbes that live in you / on you. Moral of the story: Don't deliberately kill your microbiome...
Well thanks for the commentary, but fasting and cleansing is surely not something I would be so quick to sluff off like that. While it can be bad in various ways, under the wrong circumstances, similar things could be said for any extreme practice. But the bottom line is that I've definitely felt some important benefit from it in my experience, and personal experience is something I value as a reliable factor in deliberating truth. Freeing my body from dependance on it's normal sources of sustenance has forced my hand in confronting emotional awareness that was otherwise buried by food (or other related factors) and has provided me opportunity in learning how to sustain my preferred (healthy feeling, clear thinking) way of being through lighter means, less dependent on otherwise killing or assimilating organisms for food and being (mis)led by their energy. That being said, it's rare for me to fast, though I normally have a light diet, fairly water based, and am currently including a fair amount of probiotics (kombucha, yogurt, kimchi, sourkraut, pills, etc.) in order to have the experience and a little help in feeling comfortably capable during a temporary period of time that'll be more demanding of me for the next few months. ..After that I'd like to slow down again and fast for awhile, with the help of sunlight, air, water, and conscious focus. But then, who knows how weak or hardcore I'll go with that. Thanks again for the opinion. Later bro.
theslothmonkey Well.. you're clearly not stupid.. a little on the spiritual side but not dumb.. Whatever floats ur boat I guess.. but personal experience is subjective not objective - and deliberately killing off the symbiotic life that we EVOLVED with.. over 1000's of years?? That's like deliberately killing off your mitochondria.. I mean do what you like but uh... yeah.. have fun with that.. :/
Will do. Thanks for the concern. I value caution, but must weigh that also with experience that promises (whether in actuality or delusion) important opportunity for possible development in health, awareness, learning, and evolution. I respect nature and ways of the past, and attempt to work cooperatively with all of that. But you're right that I view myself as largely based in spirit (as a Conscious being), as I do not submit the entirety of my being to physicality, and so I am willing to attempt a gradual overcoming of physical (/subconscious or unconscious) forces, even at risk to my balanced state in otherwise relying on comfortable patterns of the natural past. Also, on the note of subjectivity, I consider all things in existence relative to perspective, thus all things are subjective; but "objectivity" may have meaning as collective judgement of subjective truth, so yes that's a valid point in that sense. Though I do tend to trust more in the intimate familiarity of my individual experience, over too much faith in what appears to me as questionable beliefs held by others; while still including consideration for all that runs counter to my personal judgement of probable truth. In other words, I listen and keep an open mind, but I prefer to think for myself and personally test my beliefs, rather than follow the herd. ..But enough said, you've heard my rationale and I'll consider your thoughts as well. Have a good one. ↝☮↜
So being a introvert directly affects who we are? We are actually more of ourselves because we keep more to ourselves and avoid contact with other people?
I really don't see how personality and taste buds are connected; but good for you, I guess? Also, nice pic of the back of your phone. Got it right in the center, as the focus of the photo is supposed to be. m-/
Felt like you guys missed a little bit of info in this one.. you never actually directly mentioned what it is that's causing researchers to even suspect that your microbiome might be having a direct (biochemical?) effect on your personality.. Now I'm left wondering what evidence there is to suggest there's any relationship between the two at all??
Idk its just kool, now I have like encouragement from 200B+ bacteria that need my body to survive, and I need them, so Ive gotta stay healthy, cuz these bacteria are my new bros
Hey just check out some of the findings on toxoplasmosis ... it explains why cat owners are a little bit odd ... and it's been said to make women more promiscuous!
I heard no mechanism for which bacteria can affect my brain other than the regulation of digestion; that's nowhere near the situation of "zombie ants" controlled by fungi.
Oh no "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer is real!! Am i me or am i the bacteria that makes me act like me? Going vegetarian for a while and then eat in moderation after hahaha.
Don't get too cocky bacteria on dogs which are different species from us can very easily be harmful or deadly because species have bacteria that mostly only work for them rather than for us so just keep that in mind with you're allowing those animals to lick you in your face.
The more I learn about science the more I learn that I'm not really me. Along with all of this your cells are constantly dying and being replaced, within 7 years all of the atoms in your body have been replaced. Every atom in the universe is being reused, so parts of your arm may be bits of dinosaur. It's kinda cool but depressing too.
To make it a little less disgusting, just think that every matter in the universe, including worms, are just made up of atoms --- building blocks of matter.
I think it's cool. I mean, most of them are pretty useful? You wouldn't be able to digest food properly without them, and you'd be way more susceptible to disease since good microbes on your skin prevent other icky ones from living there.

Wow... This is my favorite episode by far
They're a part of your personality/you essentially sooo I'm no more creeped out by that than the many different cells I'm made of.
that's why I would like to keep away from the people I dislike...
amazing stuff, that's why when you go on a strict diet like atkins for example, you completely change
Being a med student your comment about "bacterial drugs" makes a lot of sense. I know that they are doing feces transplants in order to cure GIT diseases abut are there any studies done about those bacterial drugs?
There is so much life in and on me
I shall never die alone even if i did.
I miss him reporting DNews :'(
What you see, hear and taste have a much bigger impact than bacteria... When I'm around different people my personality differs, even if I don't touch them...
Is that why staying with happy people helps you feel better?
If it helps fight depression, maybe that bacteria is helping me : ) Being bipolar is sometimes a real pain so knowing bacteria helps me makes me happier : ) Awesome video!
that really depends on the reason for being a vegetarian. i am a vegetarian for ethical reasons concerning the treatment of animals raised for meat as well as the environmental impact of raising livestock. lab grown meat solves these issues, however, many vegetarian options are still healthier than meat (especially red meat), so i think many vegetarians would stick to a mostly non-meat diet.
You guys present some studies on how microbes affect physiology but I didn't see any examples of them affecting personality. Why the leap?
On a daily basis being when I do my normal everyday thing I am not to concerned with germs even though I know I probably am in contact with millions of the little buggers. If I am in a "strange" environment I notice I tend to be more concerned of what I come in contact with. Also I have HUGE problem with using a public restroom.

This is amazing to think a more natural, however strange it may be, way to treat ailments is possible through bacteria treatments!

Anthony, here's a sciencey question that applies to you (and all vegetarians): Would you eat lab-grown meat when/if it gets to be like real meat?
Does this have anything to do with why women's and girls menstrual cycles sync up when they spend enough time together? Or is that hormonal, or..?
I'm really curious how they figure out things like, we have 2 - 5 lbs of these micro organisms on us at any given point. How do they come up with that weight?
Woo, bacterial overlords!
+lUvsUngU This reminds me of DBZ when Goku and Vegeta were fighting Buu's shit bacteria on his intestines and bacteria were absorbing them to get digested hahaha. Oh look Vegeta people popcorn hahaha.
What's also mine-blowing is that the number of bacterias in your body is larger than the number of cells.
You say we're covered in mind control bacteria, what I got from this is more we are the bacteria as well as the animal, we are less a single creature and more a sentient habitat. This leaves me with a strange idea about a sentient forest where the though processes are performed by the animals and plants moving around within, we are this except bacteria = animals and neurons = plants.
and that was also mentioned WOW can you believe it ?
Better than my power. I can make time go slightly faster randomly in my head. Doesn't work at crime fighting.
I'm addicted to DNews lol
I like your video, but I don't understand what you say. Could you please provide captioning / subtitle for me, but don't depend on TH-cam's 'iffy' automatic captioning? Thanks
This reminds of the the bacteria that the professor from Captain Bluebear passes onto his pupils. Weirrrrrd...
That family picture was creepy o.o' that said my biome is... intense XD
how strange, my sister's cat jumped up as I clicked on this:):)
what happens to bacteria when its really cold out? some days its - 40 and does the bacteria on my skin die from the cold??
Why does this story reminds me of a classic horror movie.
Yeah!
I see hug-therapy catching on in depression-treatment ^^

+theslothmonkey bacteria is part of u how can that not change ur attitude? I mean maybe it takes time for bacteria to gather up a lot to be effective.
So being a introvert directly affects who we are?
We are actually more of ourselves because we keep more to ourselves and avoid contact with other people?
NMStreets unless you have bugs in your house. Then you have spider bacteria
I really don't see how personality and taste buds are connected; but good for you, I guess? Also, nice pic of the back of your phone. Got it right in the center, as the focus of the photo is supposed to be. m-/

It's just like how the Earth lives with its creatures.
It'll be one more thing for Monsanto to try and patent.
I thought about this before...
It reminds me of that one dude from Naruto who has bugs living in him
all hail hypno-bacteria
Does that mean that if I touch someone I'll become like them ?!?!?!?? I knew I always had OCD about that
Forget the nobel prize dude LOLZ
Anyone else finding random tally marks appearing on their bodies today?
love ya anthony
I didn't know you were a vegetarian. I am too :D. You rock!
Idk its just kool, now I have like encouragement from 200B+ bacteria that need my body to survive, and I need them, so Ive gotta stay healthy, cuz these bacteria are my new bros
it worked on me
We've never had a problem Mr. Plant eater.
Something else that's mine-blowing: Pressure from a foot.
Sorry. I couldn't resist.
I suppose that you somehow estimate the weight of one bacteria and then multiply it by the estimated number.
Hey just check out some of the findings on toxoplasmosis ... it explains why cat owners are a little bit odd ... and it's been said to make women more promiscuous!
Could you tell me where you got that chart of the different varieties of bacterium that reside on people?
Thanks
"Why you need bacteria" I believe this one is going to be boring/obvious
"Bacteria can change your personality" Oh cool this one seems interesting
Follow the link in the description!
You would have to model the microbial ecological system.
Mind blown
Is that why accidentally eating meat after having been vegan for a long time causes indigestion?
I wonder if there are bacterium that exists solely to make you obsess about their presence.
:DX You're awesome!!
I heard no mechanism for which bacteria can affect my brain other than the regulation of digestion; that's nowhere near the situation of "zombie ants" controlled by fungi.
My skin is crawling now :( ick so many microorganisms
ah science is so cool.
how do we join the hangout?
Oh no "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer is real!! Am i me or am i the bacteria that makes me act like me? Going vegetarian for a while and then eat in moderation after hahaha.
If they honestly believe you, it just might...
A human is like a city. the bacteria are like the people in the city....
Hey I didn't know you were vegetarian. That's pretty cool!

so... they rule this world....

Very shortly maybe. You will not be able to digest you next meal so well...
Get a camera quick, set it to record everything you look at.
