[World #IBSAwarenessMonth] Dear #HCPs👩‍⚕️ & #Microbiota community👨‍🔬, April is dedicated to raising awareness about #IrritableBowelSyndrome

During the month, @Microbiota_Inst will provide you with content about #IBS, a common & complex #disease

#GutHealth #LetsTalkIBS #thread👇 Image
[World #IBSAwarenessMonth]

🔎 You will:
👉better understand the🔗between #IBS & #microbiota
👉discover potential ways to manage the #disease
👉learn to make a #diagnosis with our #CME courses, #videos & a professionally designed #tool
👉improve communication with your #patients
[World #IBSAwarenessMonth]

1️⃣ In this sequence, learn more about the link between #microbiota and #IrritableBowelSyndrome.

1/: About 70% of the immune system is housed in the gut. And yet, both our digestive and immune systems were largely ignored during the 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤. In this 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗, I will briefly tell you things the government won’t tell you. Image
2/: The gut is home to billions of microorganisms (i.e. bacteria, viruses etc.) that are of central importance to us. This community of organisms is called the "microbiome". The #microbiome may weigh as much as five pounds (i.e. 2.5kg). Image
3/: With a surface area of 400m², the gut mucosa is one of the largest components of the human immune system. Its function is to absorb nutrients while making sure that pathogens won't enter the bloodstream. Image

The Effect of #Glyphosate on the #Gutmicrobiome and Neurocognitive Function
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
1/5 Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide #RoundUp. In 1996 #geneticallymodified soybeans that could tolerate Round Up were introduced. At that time, Round Up made up just 3.8% of herbicides in use. By 2007 glyphosate use was more than double the next herbicide.
2/5 Glyphosate blocks an enzyme used by plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae, including beneficial bacteria in our #gut. Pathogenic bacteria Clostridia and Salmonella are not affected by glyphosate, allowing them to survive.

While #science thought us that we can even cut and paste #genes with #CRISPR technology…even with that we only influence 3% to 5% of #chronicillness. The rest depends on #how you #live your #life!!! So how do we #SelfRegulate our #body?
1. Good #sleep is more important than most think! What happens during sleep? The fluctuation of consciousness…that we call the waking state. But in many wisdom traditions of the world, the waking state is merely a lucid dream that consciousness is having…

Governments keep trying to take us back to something they call "Normal".
But we don't want to go there.
And nor should we.
My column.

I suggest in this column that we apply a medical term used to describe a broken gut biome to environmental collapse in general.

#Dysbiosis - the unravelling of ecosystems
It's astonishing to see how consistent the polls and surveys are. Much as we hate the pandemic, they show a very strong preference for NOT going back to the way things were before.

Incredibly important hypothesis piece published today 👉 “Proposed here is a theory that #microorganisms from within the #brain and elsewhere in the body contribute to the long-term #neurological deterioration characteristic of traumatic brain injury”: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
From paper 👉 1. “First, since the normal human #brain is not sterile, but is host to a variety of microorganisms, blows to the #skull may dislodge them from their accustomed local environments, in which they have been living in quiet equilibrium with neighboring #brain cells”
2. “2nd, upon impact commensal #microbes already resident on surfaces of the nose, mouth + eyes, and potentially harmful organisms from the environment, may gain access to the #brain through the distal ends of the olfactory + optic #nerves or even a disrupted blood-brain barrier”

THIS 👉 While the authors frame their findings in a postitive light, the primary mechanism described below (molecular #mimicry b/t #microbial + host signaling molecules) 👉 is also a central mechanism by which organisms can dysregulate host #metabolism in chronic disease
Bacteria in the study create #ligands very similar in size/shape to human ligands that control human GPCR receptor signaling 👉 if such #bacteria change their activity due to #dysbiosis/immunosuppression☝️the ligands they create may begin to dysregulate GPCR receptor signaling ImageImage
To better understand what I’m talking about read the following sections of my latest paper👇Although the paper focuses on the illness #ME/CFS 👉what I explain about molecular mimicry b/t #microbial + host #metabolites/proteins pertains to many conditions: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… ImageImageImage
