The microbiome is defined as the collective genomes of the microbes (composed of bacteria, bacteriophage, fungi, protozoa and viruses) that live inside and on the human body. We have about 10 times as many microbial cells as human cells.

The bacteria in the microbiome help digest our food, regulate our immune system, protect against other bacteria that cause disease, and produce vitamins including B vitamins B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and Vitamin K, which is needed for blood coagulation.

Staph bacteria are commonly present in our nasal cavity and on our skin. Usually, these bacteria are harmless. But they can cause an infection if they enter your body through a break in your skin.

The Human Microbiome Project defines nine sites in the mouth — the tongue, palate, tonsils, sub- and supra-gingival plaque on teeth, the keratinized gingiva, the buccal mucosa, the throat, and saliva.

The pulmonary microbial community consisting of a complex variety of microorganisms found in the lower respiratory tract particularly on the mucous layer and the epithelial surfaces. These microorganisms include bacteria, fungi, viruses and bacteriophages.

There are hundreds of distinct bacterial species in the gut — some pathogenic and some beneficial. Several diseases are now thought to be influenced by processes in the gut microbiome. including cancer, multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorder.

The gut microbiome plays a very important role in your health by helping control digestion and benefiting your immune system. Imbalance of unhealthy and healthy microbes in the intestines may contribute to weight gain, high blood sugar, high cholesterol.

Recent research indicates that the reproductive microbiome can influence the outcomes of pre- and postcopulatory … selection, as well as generate conflict between the sexes. Genital microbiomes varied between populations and the sexes.

The billions of microbes living on you are called your skin microbiome. These microorganisms (sometimes called skin flora) are harmless or even beneficial—playing a vital role in your immune system and skin appearance.

This is really interesting, our microbiome CREATES B vitamins? Vit k?
Holy ….

Yeah we are similar to the plant kingdom. The micorrhiza fungus that grows along plant and tree roots, break down the soil and makes ready the nutrients for the plant.

This is incredibly interesting. VitK is necessary for Vit D absorption from the sun, therefore if our microbiome is out of whack (and lets be honest, majority of the populations is) our immune system is already hindered.

When I started to get sick a few years back the first thing I was diagnosed with was lactose intolerance (gut related) then it was b12 deficiency, then hypothyroid.
So it's evident that nothing functions correctly without a healthy gut.

Lead a neurotoxin was a pollution in paint and gas. Fluoride in the toothpaste and water. GMO wheat … the gut microbes. the cattle get vaccines and steroids that we drink in pasteurized milk. All are attacks on our collective self.

Keeps us out reach of our potential.
We all have magic. Telepathy, Clairvoyance, Telekinesis.....
It's very subtle. It's very real

It is all very real indeed.
Grateful to be on a similar journey to those searching for that limitless potential 🙏🙏
