Host health, environment, and health hacks are the three pillars and today's episode explains a tiny yet very big part of the first. The latest estimate of let's look at research, thinkers, traditions, and the evidence around us, which seems to show that all of our life, and our whole environment,  are so dependent upon bacteria that our design requires that we take care of these bacteria in the human body. Some speculate that we may be more bacteria than human because

we have more bacteria than cells. 

We have bacteria everywhere in our body, in our mouth saliva. On our teeth in our small intestines, but the colon alone has two times the bacteria of any other organ. I remember the leaders in healing with natural methods from the seventies and eighties saying that all disease starts in the colon.And I know this has been confirmed by things happening today, where we realize that the beneficial bacteria in our gut. Well, I think it's Dr. Perlmutter who says that we used to think it was our second brain. Now we're starting to think it's our first brain.

But Perlmutter also quotes that he can trace

Parkinson's disease to too many antibiotics over the course of a life. He quotes a study from Finland in the journal of the international Parkinson and movement disorders society.They looked at 54,000 people and found 40,000 people without Parkinson's disease. And compared them to the 13,900 with Parkinson's and found it very likely that antibiotics are a contributor. Total tetracycline exposure, 10 to 15 years before getting Parkinson's. Was shown to be a factor. Sulfonamides and trimethoprim and antifungal medications, one to five years earlier, were also shown to make one more likely to have Parkinson's than those who didn't have it.The scientist showed a 95% confidence interval that killing the bacteria with antibiotics could really lead to disease. Could killing off our bacteria, be tantamount to killing ourselves? Have you heard of MRSA? It's a deadly flesh-eating bacteria that is said to be around because we've used antibiotics too much over the years in our animal feed, pesticides and drugs.

Beneficial bacteria is not a new idea and several great scientists have come to the same conclusion. Many years ago, during the days of Louis Pasteur, there was a man named Antoine Bechamp whose lifelong research confirmed that we are surrounded by a sea of germs or bacteria. That could keep us healthy.He considered that these bacteria were part of the host. They were part of what made up the host. So much so that he coined the expression that I use for the first pillar, host health or health of the host. Bechamp found that if the bacteria was healthy, the host was healthy. If a virus caused sickness and was the only factor then everyone would catch a virus that's going around. Yet we're seeing that that's not the case. As we saw with the recent virus that went around, some got very sick. Some it hardly bothered. Right now, as it seems many are getting a little sick. The virus seems to be going through the normal process of getting easier to catch and that the same time, less dangerous before it goes away.I believe that is the way we were designed. And it is part of the process of how herd immunity develops. Your immune system matures, to how to handle a specific virus through the experience of handling it, it creates antibodies. What is interesting is there is some research that shows when a person is in a room with one who has gained natural immunity,they confer or give a bit of those antibodies to the person they are with. Is that wild? Maybe we do need to be with other people.Watching this virus has shown us a few things. One is that not everyone who gets it gets very sick. The ones who have compromised immune systems are the most at risk. We know that the virus cannot be the only factor is sometimes people get sick,sometimes they don't and there are differing degrees of illness. If you have a healthy host. It means that you have a strong immune system. So what makes the difference? Does science know? If it seems like science doesn't know, history proves otherwise in the days of Louis Pasteur, remember him? The guy credited with the discovery of germs and the theory of disease that goes along with it and is now accepted as unquestioned gospel? There was another scientist who somehow didn't make it into our history books. Antoine Bechamp's last work was called The Blood and Its Third Element. This book was recently reprinted and I bought a copy and I want to read to you how it opens." This book is the last work by professor Antoine Bechamp a man who should by rights be regarded today as one of the founders of modern medicine and biology. History, however is written by the winners and too often has little to do with the truth. The career of Antoine Bechamp and the manner in which both he and his work had been written out of history are evidence of this" and quote.So,Bechamp was the first one we know of to come up with the idea that we need to take care of our bacteria. To live healthy. And his ideas were so far from the day's narrative that he was canceled or fact checked. Was Bechamp the only one to think we were made up of bacteria? Rife was the next one to come up with this idea as he had a stronger microscope.Continuing from the introductory quote I just gave. " The United States during the 1920s and 1930s, Royal Rife's microscope revealed processes of life, which confused, many of Rife's contemporaries. But would have made perfect sense to Bechamp. The medical establishment, however, was disturbed by Rife's discoveries, especially so when he began curing diseases,Including cancer with electromagnetic frequencies. Rife and his discoveries were soon consigned to that special anonymity that is reserved for those who threaten the status quo unquote.How dare he threaten the status quo!My purpose here is to get you healthier. So I will not focus on all the evidence of malfeasance over the years.Just know that it can be enlightening to see the bigger picture. So I'll include a little bit that you can research for yourself. Find a private search engine and search October 2020 truth initiative on DuckDuckGo or, any other private search engine.The media and social media platforms agreed to the truth initiative. They agreed to stop any information that questioned vaccines or election integrity. I bring this up for a couple of reasons. One is because there are those who argue that what Rife did was impossible. It was impossible for Rife to look at bacteria that was still alive through his microscope without killing it. ' After all, we can't do that today' today's electron microscopes would kill the bacteria they try to look at, or they kill it first. So they look at it when it's not living anymore.Interesting. I hadn't even really thought about it, but we do have microscopy microscopes. They're not typically used in the medical community, but they do look at live blood. So, I guess what Rife did, wasn't impossible. It just wasn't popular. The second reason is even more disturbing than someone doing the impossible. Yet it does make sense inside of, in the light of history that if your immune system can provide the protection you need then drugs and expensive treatments are really not necessary. There might be people in industries that wouldn't want you to know that.That might want to protect the current narrative by squashing information that may threaten the status quo. To be honest, that held me back from starting this podcast for at least two years. Back to the topic at hand. Rife's story and inventions are fascinating. I'll leave a link on the show notes to him as well. So beneficial bacteria is not a new idea. In that intro to his book. Major continues by introducing us to other researchers that you may not have heard of who came up with the same ideas as Bechamp. Just with different names. He says, and I quote."Contemporary researchers whose work connects with that of Bechamp include Naessons whose somatids are without doubt what Bechamp described as microzymas. Naessons has gone further than Bechamp though aided by his revolutionary microscope technology. And as I identified the various stages of a somatid life cycle. Just recently Dr. Phillipa Uwins and the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at the university of Queensland in Australia has been making headlines with her work documenting the existence of nanobes which she describes as involving morphological and micro structural characterization of novel nano organisms.As I read this again. Morphological. That means that the bacteria can morph. This was another idea that Becha mp had, that has bee dismissed for a long time, but it's interesting that now it's coming back to life.One can't help, but think that Bechamp, Rife, Naessons and Dr. Uwins are all talking about the same thing.There is no single cause of disease. The ancients thought about this, Bechamp proved it and was written out of history for his trouble. Unquote.There is a big movement these days however, that is revealing that probiotics, beneficial bacteria, micro flora, microbiome, and nano organisms may be talking about the same thing. All these researchers with the same idea under different names. Is it possible? Let's consider one more example. In a compost heap, there is bacteria.Just like a healthy intestinal tract, the percentage of good guys to bad
