When I was 45, I was wearing bifocals. I quit wheat entirely (not just gluten-free but completely wheat-free, which is difficult), started brewing my own raw milk kefir, growing my own vegetables and herbs, and started eating buckwheat porridge several times per week. I'm 60 now and don't wear glasses at all.
Im 35 just started my journey of probiotics..i make homemade kefir and eat saurkraut and kimchi everyday..... we are a very small community of people lol .
How long did it take before you noticed a difference? I've been wheat /barley/rye/gluten free for 5 years. Need to rebuild my gut..my vision has become terrible and the eye Dr says again. I'm 44.
I started drinking Kefir by accident as they were out of my regular yoghurt. It made a huge difference. I developed a sun allergy in my mid 30's and I started drinking it in December 2022, and this year I didn't have to use sunscreen. Previously I used SPF 60-120 AND wore synthetics to stop from getting an sun allergy reaction. This year I haven't used it at all for the first time in 15 years. Apparently Kefir has a rich and diverse and a lot of (billions to trillions of units) various different bacteria. They are looking at the beneficial effects of Kefir on reducing the inflammation in Covid to prevent hospitalization. It was even unsettling as it enhanced my brain function dramatically - so much so that I was having so many creative ideas so I would say either don't drink too much or be prepared for that. The other thing is that I drank Kefir daily with my breakfast so after about 2 months is when I started to see the most dramatic effects, physically and mentally. Other than that I've been listening to Dr. Gabor Mate and his theories of Trauma and how during his 20+ years as an MD, he noticed that the people who were developing illnesses like arthritis or cancer, and many many others, were carrying trauma from their past. Specifically childhood trauma, and often the most serious illnesses like ALS were also rooted in bahaviours that stem from past trauma. Very insightful.
You might read about Lactobacillus reuteri which is found in kefir. The more I read about this bacterium and it’s many different strains, the more I believe it can really make a difference.
Dr Bessel van der Kolk head of research into childhood trauma 50 years. Worth reading his book: "The Body Keeps The Score": and/or listening to his various YTs.
@leilaluginbill916 Do you have a reference that l. reuteri is in kefir? None of the lists of possible bacteria and yeasts in kefir that I have found list l. reuteri. I was planning to get the equipment to make "SIBO" yogurt, which has l. reuteri but is fermented at 106° F. My kefir grains happily ferment my milk (grass fed cow or goat) at room temperature, so I assumed l. reuteri was not in the complex. TIA for any information you can provide.
Overall, very good advice. I’m a integrative, osteopathic, and hospital medicine physician that grew up in the house with a nutritional biochemist and food microbiologist. Gut flora and microbiome were frequent topics of discussion but not out of context with the food they naturally occurring in. It’s important that the probiotic flora have the appropriate substrate (food source and nutrients) they are cultivated to grow in. Added sugars maybe a problem but the “blood sugar spikes” discussed when fermented foods are consumed naturally is less of a glycemic and metabolic concern in general and tolerable when compared to not having beneficial bacteria in our diet. Those prebiotic substances and macros also serve as easier to digest and bioavailability of vitamins, minerals, and particular organic compounds improves.
Was there anything relating to the eyes, I only heard microbiome info? I particularly want to know HOW the microbiome affects the eyes which was the reason I clicked on this video, but I guess I blinked at the wrong moment 🤷♀️
She's full of crap, said multiple times she doesn't know much, gives contradictory advice, drink kambucha, yeah...FULL of sugar, but be careful with sugar, never tasted Kefir but yeah drink it but be careful with the sugar, another example of an incompetent greedy doctor that heard she can make money off CZcams videos. The foods she recommends are actually good for you, but she fails to explain that some of those she mentioned are due to PRE biotic, aka fiber, which feeds the PRO biotic and therefore are very important
She said pro inflammatory foods may lead to increased risk of uveitis in the eye. Also pro inflammatory foods may increase the risk of diabetes, which can impact eyes
@@Fortune-dw8wz Thank you, I don’t recall but it’s easy to miss something while in thought about what is being said. It obviously isn’t the main focus of this video however 🤔
As an optometrist, I agree! Nutrition is extremely important and should be discussed more often during routine eye examinations. As healthcare providers, we should all find ways to continually increase awareness of the gut microbiome and how it impacts our systemic health, to include the health of the eyes. Thank you for the video!
optometrist really dont talk about nutrition, and it's probably because they don't know themselves. my daughter has used glasses since she was 5 and every year her vision gets worse, she is 15 now. she literally can't see without her glasses. I always thought how it is possible that every year it gets worse... but i was taking her to a specialist, so im thinking im doing the right thing. the best thing ive done is try to find out for my self and I've come across good videos likes this one. i really have lost trust on all doctors, now im leaning more towards hollistic medicine.. I was listening to a lady (healthy lady but not a doctor) on CZcams talking about how certain foods have improved her vision. so this year, for my daughter's yearly routine vision checkup, I asked the optometrist if theirs a diet or foods that can improve her vision. the optometrist said no, not really, just eat a balance diet, and that's the response I got. so I left leaving like I guess I can't really do anything to improve her eye sight.. but im glad i found this video. any suggestions specific to improve the eye sight.
Something to do with Pineapple juices, kimchi, sauerkrâüt, pickled pickles and vegetable soups from Eastern Europe, Ukrainian borscht dishes utilizing red turnips, all these dishes are amazingly great for eye health and floaters in the eye itself. Also the breads they ate was low in gluten such as hard rye or barley breads for dipping into soups to become spongy.
Hi l have floaters and foreign body sensations in both eyes. I use artificial tears which don't do much lol. Recently did a detox and symptoms/sensations down by a good 80%, could the feelings have been some kind of parasites in the eyes?
Years ago I did a lot of cleanses in a desperate attempt to recover my health. The most unexpected effect of a herbal Small intestine and colon cleanse was that my agility increase 100% and - tada - afterwards I did not need glasses anymore! My optician was shattered.
@@Mantras-and-Mystics I used a German cleanse called Europa ... I cannot tell you exactly what it contained, but mainly physillium and a lot of cleaning herbs. There are other herbal remedies like it, I think. Have a look around. Good luck!
As a holistic nutritionist i recommend Bee Propolis and/or Oreganol as antibiotics of choice with very wide spectrum, yet without any devastating side effects.
@@lisagonzalez3861 The oral surgeon will give you antibiotics. Take the antibiotics as well as 600 mgs of Advil every six hours for pain. Rinse your mouth on the second day with salt water a few times a day. A tea bag placed on where the tooth was pulled helps healing and pain. Hope this helps.
As for kefir - milk kefir is THE best because it contains between 40 and 60 different strains of gut flora, versus the water kefir that contains only 7 to 15. Water kefir uses regular sugar for fermentation and milk kefir uses the milk sugar / lactose for fermentation. The fermentation consumes all the available sugar so there is no lactose left to trigger a response for those that are lactose intolerant. As for kombucha, you again use sugar and tea - any tea, e.g. black, white, green or herbal. Kombucha kills of gut pathogens like E Coli, Salmonella typhoid and Staph Aureus. Herbal teas render the weakest kombucha, and regular black tea the most potent kombucha. Green and white tea (NOT milk / latte white) are second and third in potency. The obvious choice for an almost immediate reversal in gut flora depletion is Most definitely milk kefir. The best milk to use is raw cow’s or goat milk. UHT milk can be used but it’s undesirable because so many nutrients have been destroyed with the ultra pasteurisation process. Nut Milks have very little nutrition to offer the kefir grains and will result in dying off of many strains of beneficial flora in your kefir grains. To Most people the best they can do is to use fresh pasteurised milk but even that will bring about a remarkable change in health in as little as two weeks. Blending your milk kefir with prebiotic foods offers the ultimate benefit, e.g. banana, ground flax seed / flax flour, etc,
But E.Colli in the colon is not harmful, but very useless because it is important for producing vitamin K. But it is harmful when it reaches the bladder and causes inflammation. Milk kefir is also very important because of the proteins we need for our muscles. Not only for the gut flora. And there are no proteins in a water kefir.
I love kefir and have been drinking a small glass almost every day for over 10 years. More recently I've been grinding my own flax seeds and add them to my class of kefir. Delicious and refreshing. I do seem to have a palate for fermented and sour foods.
I Prefer these probiotics in any order: Natto ( Fermented Soybeans) Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Kombucha tea preferably in the morning 30-45 minutes after drinking of 1 or 2 glass/es of water 😊👍,, exercise regularly, minimise stress,, no alcohol, no smoking, avoid pollution & Chemicals as much as possible, enough sleep & good diet (organic as much as we can) 🙏♥️💪😉
Thank you Dr Cremers for your great presentation! I just wanted to add something that isn't mentioned enough for anyone who becomes a kefir or kombucha fan. When regularly drinking either and/or other probiotic foods that are often very acidic, PLEASE protect you teeth by taking certain simple measures. It's considered best to have the beverages during mealtime or have a glass of water following the kefir, etc. Also, certain dentists advise not to brush your teeth right afterwards (and not to use a hard bristle brush), wait until the saliva has been given a chance to balance the PH in the mouth, maybe with a glass of water is lack of saliva is an issue. The enamel of our teeth can become porous due to the acidity and it can become damaged and once it's gone, it can't be rebuilt. I drink these beverages with a straw now, because following a teeth cleaning that was pure torture, it took me almost a year for my tooth sensitivity to subside. I've never had problems with my teeth and had never had such a painful tooth cleaning. It was actually the polishing part that was tourture... There's a lot of info out there, but you really have to go looking for it. I love kefir and kombucha and feel that it does a lot of good to my gut microbiome, but I learned about the acidity-teeth issue that hard way. Don't hesitate to look into this issue.
Eat homemade yogurt. Buy fatty cow milk, boil it, cool it down until you can hold your pinky in it for 10 seconds, then either drop a few chickpeas in it or add yogurt yeast. Keep it warm by putting the container into a microwave or an ordinary oven that seals heat. Even a bathroom towel covering can do. Wait 12 hours. Then put it into fridge and wait for 6 hours. If you want to help the bacteria add a cube of sugar when the milk is hot. Don't add salt because it kills the probiotics. If you wish to drink it, run the blender in it and you have Ayran. Run it with fresh mint and you have minty ayran. Add mineral water to plain ayran (30/70) and it's the greatest hangover drink. Fun fact: Yoğurt is a liquid animal that lives in you and fights for you. And it's Turkish, not Greek.
Great video it's good to see a lot of younger doctors today are upgrading on dietary information! Sauerkraut and yogurt are excellent sources of probiotics the only problem is the store-bought ones are usually all pasteurized (probably required by law) and that kills off mostly all the good probiotics. I make my own homemade sauerkraut, I think that's the best way to go!🙏🏼💪
I have mold illness and need to avoid all fermented foods while I detox mold mycotoxins. The only probiotic I can take without getting sick is Saccharomyces Boulardii. Thank you for this program. I'm always listening for answers to heal my gut.
@@lisagonzalez3861 The test my ND uses is called Mosaic. The list of symptoms is very long and can be symptoms for other illnesses. Since mold illness is not on most doctors' radar, they don't consider it. If you do an ERMI test in your house (several sources found online), you can determine if your house is "sick." But, mold mycotoxins can be stored in your body for years so you could be made sick from a previous house. I've almost got all the mold mycotoxins out of my body (yahoo!) and now I'm working on eliminating a parasite that moved in while my immune system was suppressed. The fun never ends! Best wishes for your good health.
@@lisagonzalez3861 Look up ochratoxin-A and the symptoms associated with it. If you suspect mold toxins, also look into oxalates, B-vitamin deficiency, and candida overgrowth (candida becomes pathogenic in its hyphal form when there is too much oxalate). There is a cascade of health issues that develops after mold exposure. The ones I listed are just a few big ones. The s. boulardii mentioned above is good for getting the candida back in check.
I discovered the eye-gut connection ten years ago when after a colectomy or having a piece of intestine removed and my gut biodome completely erased, I had to get a stronger pair of reading glasses. It also affected my brain and made me a bit stupid until I could work on regaining the gut biodome. Another reason the promiscous use of antibiotics is a bad idea.
On the topic of how this affects eye health. One reason is that Vitamin K2 is made by our gut bacteria. Thus, if we don't get enough from our microbiome, or from animal foods, then we'll be lacking Vitamin K2 (after antibiotics without proper bacteria), and more likely to get cataracts. Bee pollen is an excellent source of good bacteria.
@@CL-im9lk Buy bee pollen. I use one teaspoon (Monday to Friday). Prepare it in the evening (day before consuming) with a quarter of a cup filled with (orange) juice. You need some acidity to crack it (you can use half a lemon juice also). Next day in the morning I fill the rest of the cup with water and use it to wash down my supplements. Other option is to have bee pollen dissolved in a yogurt (same principle, try to add overnight and consume next day). Third option is to add pollen to overnight oats (dissolved in a water - least effective, but it will be fine).
@@vladimirsak - I'd go with the pollen, but honey itself likely has some as well. Note that Bee Pollen should really be organic, or from somewhere way out in the middle of nowhere. There are pesticides in it very often. Whether or not it's good bee pollen depends on where it's collected. If it's from collected from bees using plants that pesticides have been used on, you're likely getting pesticides. And the organic stuff isn't cheap, but you only need like 1/4 teaspoon per day - loaded with B vitamins.
02:53 more than ever i am convinced that antibiotics had everything to do with the emergence of depression in my teens, as it was prescribed by doctors like a candy during my bouts of skin infection and boils during my formative years.. im still struggling with it today, 30 years later
Thank you! Ive been on a mission to educate myself on the gut microbiome and heal myself. Changed my diet, taking helpful health supplements, praying, meditating, excersing, and eliminating toxic people from my life. However, I'm very concerned that I'm getting blurry vision within the last 6 months. I'm happy to see and hear you sharing this video. I have a pulmonary condition so kefir doesn't work for me. I do lots of green tea, mushrooms, kimchi(everyday), Vitamin k, c, d3, etc. Is there a specific supplement to help with what i assume is degenerative eye condition. Doing my best to be my best at 67. Thanks again❤
Cataract surgery is very common, around your age. They say it's very safe, and I've talked to several people that said their vision became 20/20 without glasses.
I can't believe this: ".. most surgeons (...) know very little about gut microbiome, it's not something we were taught in medical school..." 😮 This, also nutrition, allergies, even life style, are the basics that come before any drugs, antibiotics, steroids, etc, prescriptions. (In my country, anyway).
Yep, it's frightening that these basics aren't taught to medical professionals. How can you heal people without understanding or being able to educate your patients about the fundamentals of good health?!
Have you seen the study published on how oxalates induce breast cancer? Oxalate overloads impact upon everything in the body (its not just about the anti-biotics), its clear that Blepharitis is also about oxalates. Oxalates impact on the gut and GI tract, e.g, leaky gut etc. Oxalates cause inflammation in the body and oxalates comes from the foods that people are eating. There is also a study on how oxalates cause degeneration of the eyes and are the cause of torn retina's. Not only that but tartar on the teeth is oxalates. I recommend that you read Sally K Norton's book "Toxic Superfoods".
@@pelonconstante6271oxalates are a natural defense mechanism in plants to make them unattractive to animals. Rhubarb is very high in oxalates, as are swiss chard, kale, and spinach. Most nuts are also high in oxalates, especially almonds. When reducing your oxalate consumption it's important to do it slowly, so that you don't have a "rebound" reaction that could land you in the hospital. Sally K Norton is a recognized authority on oxalates. If you want an informative introduction to oxalates, you can check out Elliott Overton at EO Nutrition on CZcams. Reducing your oxalates can contribute to a significant improvement in your quality of life.
yep and oral is often a problem more than teh gut, for a lot of ppl! Also taking proton pump inhibotor drugs causes the gut to suffer from typical oral bacteria!
Make sure your Kefir is plain and not flavored, and if you do, cow kefir make sure it is grass feed! I use cocoyo coconut yogurt! My favorite kombucha is Wild brand Elderberry flavor! Thank you for this information!
💖Intermittent Fasting is amazing fellow dearly beloved🌏🤲Currently on my 8th day of 4PM to 8AM (16 HOUR) FASTING, shifting to 18 HOUR FASTING (1PM TO 7AM). I'm having plant-based diet (with egg) from 8AM to 4PM. I'm having samosa with curd (plain unsweetened yogurt), cabbage, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, walnut, dates, atchara (pickled unripe papaya & carrots, etc.) alternating with Kimchi, unsalted butter, and raisin wheatbread. I usually have 1 fresh buko or young coconut juice and meat, citrus fruits, ripe papaya, and apple, etc. before eating the eggs, walnuts, wheatbread etc.. Fruits first in breaking my fasts... I drink warm plain green tea and water as much as I can while fasting. On my 2nd dose of every other day of once a day 1 big cup of cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, 1 tbsp of honey, and 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. The chronic on and off inflammation (since 2006 - I have been lacto-ovo vegetarian since December 2006) and ulcers in my body are amazingly healing.

Excellent presentation. I need to learn more about the microbiome. I have learned over the years, the importance of Taurine, Zinc, Tryptophan, Magnesium, and the Cartenoids/Retinols when it comes to the eyes. I wonder how the restoring the integrity of the Taurine/Zinc/Magnesium balance affects the integrity of how the microbiome works.
I was interested to hear the latest thoughts on this topic. I have IBD, so I was aware of most of it. I noticed you talked about sauerkraut. One caution, I read that many types of sourkraut sold in the US are heated before packaging, so fermentation is minimal.
When I buy sauerkraut from a shop I open the jar and let it outside the fridge over night, next day can go in the fridge. It will ferment and keep good bacteria alive.
Wow, very informative for me! I am familiar with most of this and have drastically changed my diet in my old age. I grew up on baloney and "cheese" sandwiches on Wonder Bread" slathered with margarine! But my Mum fed us lots of veggies and we thrived I have eaten a decent diet most of my life. But a lot of the wrong food. And it caught up with me in my late sixties...it was mostly just. Cutting way back on the treats ..a blueberry muffin in the morning once in a while!!!! No more Danish muffins either!!!!! At 72 my poop is good again!!!!! Gracias!
I strongly suggest the work of Jason Hawrelak that you can find on CZcams. He discusses the power of PREbiotic foods that actually repopulate the gut whereas PRObiotics are only temporary residents. Those high fiber foods she mentions (beans, oats, fruits and vegetables) are pre-biotic.
Lovely informative video ! Do you distinguish between pre and pro biotics, because some authors say that the probiotics (ferments) that introduce bacteria to your gut are minimally impactful on microbiome diversity compared to the probiotic (starches and fibre) that feed the bacteria themselves, and then others say the opposite. There seems to be a lot of confusion or misinformation on the subject. Could you clarify this for us or give some references that compare pre and pro scientifically ?
Without prebiotics (fiber, aka plant foods) in your diet, your gut bacteria really just won't flourish. Probiotics and fermented foods can help you build diversity in there. Short answer: both is best.long answer: find Dr B, the gut MD, on CZcams (interviewed on various channels). There are loads of reliable docs talking about this online. They agree on the basics.
What is water based kefir? How it is made? Kefir is bunch of grains that consists of 50+ strains of good bacteria (lactobacteria etc) and good fungi. They all eat sugar, lactose in milk in this case. What can they eat in water? Thank you for reply.
Water kefir is not the same “grain” as in milk kefir grains. Water kefir grains are clear crystals, and they are not interchangeable. Also I need to correct her on her words. She obviously doesn’t know very much about these two very different ferments. She said water kefir has less sugars than milk kefir. Water kefir is made with very sugary water, lots of sugar. Yes milk has sugar in the form of lactose, but that is the food that grains eat/ need in order to create probiotics. Same with water kefir, the grains eat the sugar and convert it to probiotic drink, that is different from milk kefir. Different strains! I have been making all kinds of kefirs and kombucha as well for over 10 years now.
@@cangel201 Interesting reply. Only thing I find puzzling is that I found no problem getting great kefir using lactose free milk and have done so for years. Would that imply that the milk is incorrectly labeled or that the starter grains are sugar dense?
Singer Bobby Caldwell died when he was floxed by an antibiotic. Up until the onset of the pandemic, Bobby Caldwell, the singer-songwriter who died March 2023 at the age of 71, was regularly performing. The crooner behind the 1978 hit “What You Won’t Do For Love” still toured across the United States and in Japan, where he enjoyed a devoted following. But in 2020, when the world stopped, the music did, too - at least for Caldwell. By that point, he was “living a tortured life,” his wife, Mary Caldwell, says. Pain that coursed from his limbs up into his spine hounded him day and night, and in his final years, he was unable to walk without help. His decline was swift, Mary recalls. One day, he was still the vibrant embodiment of “blue-eyed soul” whose songs are still being sampled in music today. The next, he’d lost all feeling in his fingertips and could barely strum a guitar. What happened? The performer had been “floxed,” a term used to describe the brutal array of side effects caused by fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The Food and Drug Administration has issued a series of advisories about these drugs and recommended they only be used for stubborn infections, but few Americans seem to be aware of the risks. Mary’s hope is that by providing an intimate view of the harm fluoroquinolones exacted on Bobby, others will exercise greater caution around these commonly prescribed antibiotics. “I wouldn’t want anyone else to suffer this kind of fate,” she tells us. Bobby’s downhill slide began on January 13, 2017, when he awoke with a cold. He was preparing for a 20-show tour in Japan and was hoping to curtail his runny nose and cough when he visited an urgent-care clinic. He came home with a prescription for cough syrup and levofloxacin, according to Mary, 63, who worked as Bobby’s manager and eventually became his caretaker. For the next seven days, he dutifully took the medication - until one morning, he wasn’t able to stand. He told Mary that his “Achilles were killing him,” she says. She inspected the long tendons at the back of his ankles and found them inflamed and tender. The next day they saw an orthopedist who scratched his head and asked Bobby if he’d recently jumped off a building. Absent that, he couldn’t see how Bobby had sustained this level of tissue trauma. “It was so bizarre,” Mary says. They eventually learned later that both of his Achilles had ruptured, one of the odd symptoms the FDA warned consumers about back in 2008. The reaction isn’t thought to be common, but it happens often enough that Barbara Trautner, M.D., Ph.D., a clinician at the Houston V.A. Medical Center studying antibiotic use, has a regular refrain for patients who start feeling pain there: “Call me right away.” Mary quickly suspected that the levofloxacin was to blame. She researched the drug online and found a long list of warnings that included nerve damage, dangerous blood-sugar fluctuations, and even aortic rupture. But at that point, “it was like the genie was out of the bottle,” she says. “It was so abrupt. Up until that seventh pill, life was great. Then it literally was like the curtain came down. Everything changed for the worst.”
A word of caution regarding colonics. The microbiome of the intestines is equally important as the gut. And colonics can cause major damage to the intestinal microbiome, because the use of psyllium and / or clay, strips the intestinal walls of essential enzymes and good bacteria. For me it took about 18 months for healing the damage.
I am still amazed how is/was the US so behind regarding the knowledge of antibiotics being bad for your gut Microbiome, while in Europe there were doctors telling you to eat a large amount of yogurt when they did prescribe antibiotics 45 years ago!? And States are just now catching up on that information!
When you want to sell your industrial scale mass produced products, make max profits from them while churning up an endless supply of customers thereafter, you don't tell your customers anything that could deter them
Thank you for the useful advices !My son has allways uveitis and had cataract on his right eye.He had surgery ,and put a lentile ,but the uveitis still exist and he is not seeing well.We made a lot of investigation ,and there not found any sickness which can cause the uveitis.However he has a lot of food intolerance ,lactose and casein ,sugar,yeast..so now I'm thinking maybe his gut is the cause of his eye problem...
Dr. Sandra Cremers, It's the first time that I'm watching your video and I've already subscribed because am very happy to learn so many things; while watching, am having some of my homemade yogurt with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, chia seeds, hemp hearts, strawberries, blueberries and brazil nuts. I consume yogurt almost every day but with different fruits and nuts. This is a very educational video; thank you and God bless 🙏🌹
Beste Dr. Cremers, bij uw volgend familiebezoek in Nederland moet u zeker eens de bio kefir van het merk "Rauw Power" eens proberen, gemaakt van rauwe (niet-gepasteuriseerde) melk. Groeten uit België! (Ik word niet betaald om reklame te maken, ik vind het zelf gewoon lekker en gezond ;))
First off…I’m surprised to hear this coming from an eye doctor. I’m a eye athlete. What I mean by that is I draw for a living. So to see acutely from near to far and back again, for me is highly valuable. Of late it’s been declining a bit. For most things it’s fine, but it’s not what it was in my mid 20’s or so. So I’m now looking into things to help restore my vision as much as possible without glasses. I have some videos with different takes on how to do this. But yours is the first that talks about it in this way. Of late I’ve been on antibiotics for the very reason you mention here. And I’ve felt my vision suffering a bit more that usual. So I stopped the video and bought some probiotics drinks which I’d been thinking about doing anyway. LOL 😂. It’s really weird that most doctors treating me talk nothing about this sort of thing. Yet doctors on the net are all over it. It’s disappointing. I really have little faith in the honesty of the medical field in the USA at this point. I’m now following you and will see what else you may have to offer. I’m basically healthy as a horse. My vision is 80-90% as good as it’s ever been. But for what I do, the better it is…the more useful it is to my profession. Thanks for this video. It was timely.
I had cataract operation in both eyes when I was 45. Eye doctors said in your case something abnormal is causing the cataract to grow very fast . Long story short, i had cronic gut health issues( fibromyalgia , osteoarthritis, neuropathy etc) later identified and fixed.
I was wondering if. You could make a idea on the potential for reversing macular degeneration ? Thank you for all this information. After Covid my eyesight started to go. I have always had 20/20 vision.I want to get my eyes back into working order.
Your video started with eyesight. Do u have any idea if the foods we eat can cause or prevent macular degeneration. I have this condition . I am hoping that stem cell might help. TY for the information u provide ❤
Just a few things I feel should be pointed out. Great topic that needs more attention. Most of the information was good, needed more detail. Kefir is pronounced Kuh-fear. I have been drinking homemade raw milk kefir for years, and full-fat raw milk my entire life. Because raw milk is not molested, disturbing the natural lactose-lactase balance, and also contains all the natural probiotics, it maintains very good glycemic response without the blood sugar spike. I know this because I have struggled with hypoglycemia; processed sugars are bad. I would also recommend an A2-A2 raw milk, or an A2-A1 at the very least for anyone that believes they have a lactose issue. Be certain to get any raw milk from good quality dairies and keep it quite cold until it's made into kefir.
I think Keh-fur, Ku-fear and Key-fur are all correctly pronounced. In Latin America it’s “bulgaros.” In Chile 🇨🇱 it’s known as “palomitas.” I’ve even heard someone refer to it as “mana” it’s all the same. Just depends what you first learned what to call it. I personally learned to pronounce it “Key-fur” and I don’t believe it’s incorrect.
@@susieflorian5978 Of course, it does not really matter how we pronounce it :) I just tend to be a stickler about pronunciation, and prefer to go by the pronunciation in the area of origin (which was what later became Turkey). For eg, isn't palomitas most commonly used to refer to popcorn? And then later, to sometimes refer to kefir? So, though it does not matter, I prefer what I understand to be the original pronunciation of keh-feer.
I didn't listen what's related to the eyes. I opened this trying to get some info about why my eyes and head aches when I fast, or get a little dehydrated.
Have you ever asked at a bar or club if they serve it? It would be really great for those of us who want to stay healthy and at the same time have something to drink that's both tasty and colourful!
@@ingevankeirsbilck9601 Yes! Omg they don’t care. I’ve even been told oh we cant risk it because of the shelf life n then been ignored after I showed them proof that its shelf stable🙄 I have been pushing n pushing for so many years. I bring my own n just pay them off😂
Great info for my husband getting cataract surgery after have a Celiac's diagnosis. Surgeon says first eye is healing well but blurry 2 weeks post op while gut doctor says colitis is still a problem. I have been making yoghurt and trying to make fermented foods to help him. Maybe diet can help both.
Its good that Westerners are learning about Kefir, saukraut, and kambucha. However to say that it will reverse bad eyesight is overstretch, i have bern eating these produce from 2 years old as well as buckwheat on a regular basis and I have a poor eyesight.
I learned something very important for myself....the connection with depression!! Like just about all of us I have bad days occasionally. Wake up in the morning and pow...I am depressed, a little anxious and there is no reason for it..had a good night's sleep, today was no different than yesterday.. I was looking forward to getting to the house I was building. But just a general feeling of blah!!! Maybe those nasty little things livin' Inside me.... Yikes!
Sleep, sunshine, exercise and drinking plenty of water are all important and of course nutrition. Incorporating fermented foods like kefir, kombucha and fermented vegetables will help so much. I’m going on my 7th year consuming these foods I have not looked back and will not stop.
Some information suggests 65% of adults cannot digest milk after infancy. My grandmother made fermented cabbage and many other fermented items that were table staples. I am not a fan of sugar. Naturopathic doctors are trained in this area. How do you know the probiotic is a live culture? I test mine in milk if I make a purchase for 24 hrs. in a glass dish covered. If I see curds, then I feel comfortable there are live bacteria. I prefer to make my own so I can control the processing and fermentation.
Great video! Thank you for the information. I’m on my 7th year consuming kefir, kombucha, fermented vegetables and homemade sourdough bread on a daily basis. I’m 62 years old and feel better than when I was in my 30s! I love learning about cultured foods and now I teach others how to make them.
This was great information. I would like to ask about the impact of animal products on the gut. I see a lot of people doing a carnivore diet, eating only meat and animal fats and they are seeing amazing results in digestion. Any thoughts on that?
I had a stroke in January 2021. After listening to everyone on CARNIVORE, I started July of 21. There are too many benefits..gut issues gone, depression and mental issues gone, inflammation, pain, throughout my body gone, weight effortlessly going down down down....😊
Great and informative video!! Thank you so much!! Can I ask please - what if one needs antibiotic EYE DROPS, due to inflammation in the eyes? Can those drops affect the gut microbiome in a negative way? After all, medication is absorbed as well through mucous membranes etc. Would love your thoughts on this! 🙏🍀
My mum had chronic eyes inflammation months after cataracts surgery. The doctor prescribed eyesdrops (antibiotic) which was not effective. I suggested she uses 100% organic rose water as regular eyesdrop. Well, she got great results! Without side effects. Maybe you could give it a try? Rose water is a natural antiseptic.
Where can one get a fecal transplant without having CDiff? You listed several things a FT can help (and I agree), but as far as I know, it's impossible to get one here in the US unless you have CDiff and antibiotics have failed. I would appreciate your input about this! Thank you!
I know beside the wonderful bifido bacteria, acramencia bacteria, ........lactobacilius bacteria is the best to take it only from the best organic Bulgarian yogurt in a glass jar in Whole foods store. I think the name of the company is "White mountain" Bulgarian yogurt, This is the crown of the jewel. Also pomegranade juice , real Italian Parmigiano cheese, and good organic red wine is the best to feed the good ones.
Did I miss it? Were eyes ever mentioned? Surely serious influencers should avoid clickbait. This vid is interesting but my eye problems have not been addressed here so it was a waste of time.. thanks fof setting my research back 10 minutes
It’s not recommended to take Probiotics simultaneously with antibiotics because the probiotics will die. You must wait at least 3 hours after taking antibiotics before taking them .
These hospitals and doctors scoff at the nutrition and the inflammatory disease today they try to get more patient-recommended things that they never considered before.
When I was 45, I was wearing bifocals. I quit wheat entirely (not just gluten-free but completely wheat-free, which is difficult), started brewing my own raw milk kefir, growing my own vegetables and herbs, and started eating buckwheat porridge several times per week. I'm 60 now and don't wear glasses at all.
Seriously?? Wow.. What's the power of your spectacles
Im 35 just started my journey of probiotics..i make homemade kefir and eat saurkraut and kimchi everyday..... we are a very small community of people lol .
Wow thanks for that information 😊
How long did it take before you noticed a difference? I've been wheat /barley/rye/gluten free for 5 years. Need to rebuild my gut..my vision has become terrible and the eye Dr says again. I'm 44.
Wow! Great! Can u please share your diet in detail, I’m having few problems with my eyes too.Thanks!
I started drinking Kefir by accident as they were out of my regular yoghurt. It made a huge difference. I developed a sun allergy in my mid 30's and I started drinking it in December 2022, and this year I didn't have to use sunscreen. Previously I used SPF 60-120 AND wore synthetics to stop from getting an sun allergy reaction. This year I haven't used it at all for the first time in 15 years. Apparently Kefir has a rich and diverse and a lot of (billions to trillions of units) various different bacteria. They are looking at the beneficial effects of Kefir on reducing the inflammation in Covid to prevent hospitalization. It was even unsettling as it enhanced my brain function dramatically - so much so that I was having so many creative ideas so I would say either don't drink too much or be prepared for that. The other thing is that I drank Kefir daily with my breakfast so after about 2 months is when I started to see the most dramatic effects, physically and mentally. Other than that I've been listening to Dr. Gabor Mate and his theories of Trauma and how during his 20+ years as an MD, he noticed that the people who were developing illnesses like arthritis or cancer, and many many others, were carrying trauma from their past. Specifically childhood trauma, and often the most serious illnesses like ALS were also rooted in bahaviours that stem from past trauma. Very insightful.
You might read about Lactobacillus reuteri which is found in kefir. The more I read about this bacterium and it’s many different strains, the more I believe it can really make a difference.
Dr Bessel van der Kolk head of research into childhood trauma 50 years. Worth reading his book: "The Body Keeps The Score": and/or listening to his various YTs.
Amazing
@leilaluginbill916
Do you have a reference that l. reuteri is in kefir? None of the lists of possible bacteria and yeasts in kefir that I have found list l. reuteri. I was planning to get the equipment to make "SIBO" yogurt, which has l. reuteri but is fermented at 106° F. My kefir grains happily ferment my milk (grass fed cow or goat) at room temperature, so I assumed l. reuteri was not in the complex. TIA for any information you can provide.
What brand did you buy? Very interesting... I'm suffering from RA, and I don't like taking any drugs. My hope is to find a natural cure for it. 😊
Sauerkraut is one of the best probiotic foods. It has bacteria that can survive stomach acids. By the way keep providing this great content.
Unfortunately most sauerkraut sold is not with live probiotics.
@@janineclemons746 damn now I gotta check the containers.
Kimcchi is even better
kimchi is really good it has probiotics that survive close to 50% even in boiling stew.
@@njaimerod I assume that the probiotics can survive the acidic stomach after the pasteurization?
Overall, very good advice. I’m a integrative, osteopathic, and hospital medicine physician that grew up in the house with a nutritional biochemist and food microbiologist. Gut flora and microbiome were frequent topics of discussion but not out of context with the food they naturally occurring in. It’s important that the probiotic flora have the appropriate substrate (food source and nutrients) they are cultivated to grow in. Added sugars maybe a problem but the “blood sugar spikes” discussed when fermented foods are consumed naturally is less of a glycemic and metabolic concern in general and tolerable when compared to not having beneficial bacteria in our diet. Those prebiotic substances and macros also serve as easier to digest and bioavailability of vitamins, minerals, and particular organic compounds improves.
😊
Was there anything relating to the eyes, I only heard microbiome info? I particularly want to know HOW the microbiome affects the eyes which was the reason I clicked on this video, but I guess I blinked at the wrong moment 🤷♀️
She's full of crap, said multiple times she doesn't know much, gives contradictory advice, drink kambucha, yeah...FULL of sugar, but be careful with sugar, never tasted Kefir but yeah drink it but be careful with the sugar, another example of an incompetent greedy doctor that heard she can make money off CZcams videos.
The foods she recommends are actually good for you, but she fails to explain that some of those she mentioned are due to PRE biotic, aka fiber, which feeds the PRO biotic and therefore are very important
??
What about Eyes ???
She said pro inflammatory foods may lead to increased risk of uveitis in the eye. Also pro inflammatory foods may increase the risk of diabetes, which can impact eyes
@@Fortune-dw8wz Thank you, I don’t recall but it’s easy to miss something while in thought about what is being said. It obviously isn’t the main focus of this video however 🤔
I think I must've missed the part where it explains how it affects your eyes
As an optometrist, I agree! Nutrition is extremely important and should be discussed more often during routine eye examinations. As healthcare providers, we should all find ways to continually increase awareness of the gut microbiome and how it impacts our systemic health, to include the health of the eyes. Thank you for the video!
optometrist really dont talk about nutrition, and it's probably because they don't know themselves. my daughter has used glasses since she was 5 and every year her vision gets worse, she is 15 now. she literally can't see without her glasses. I always thought how it is possible that every year it gets worse... but i was taking her to a specialist, so im thinking im doing the right thing.
the best thing ive done is try to find out for my self and I've come across good videos likes this one. i really have lost trust on all doctors, now im leaning more towards hollistic medicine.. I was listening to a lady (healthy lady but not a doctor) on CZcams talking about how certain foods have improved her vision. so this year, for my daughter's yearly routine vision checkup, I asked the optometrist if theirs a diet or foods that can improve her vision. the optometrist said no, not really, just eat a balance diet, and that's the response I got. so I left leaving like I guess I can't really do anything to improve her eye sight.. but im glad i found this video. any suggestions specific to improve the eye sight.
Something to do with Pineapple juices, kimchi, sauerkrâüt, pickled pickles and vegetable soups from Eastern Europe, Ukrainian borscht dishes utilizing red turnips, all these dishes are amazingly great for eye health and floaters in the eye itself. Also the breads they ate was low in gluten such as hard rye or barley breads for dipping into soups to become spongy.
Hi l have floaters and foreign body sensations in both eyes. I use artificial tears which don't do much lol. Recently did a detox and symptoms/sensations down by a good 80%, could the feelings have been some kind of parasites in the eyes?
Many doctors do not discuss nutrition because they have told me it was not studied in medical school, and they are not licensed to offer that advise.
@@HereWeGoAgain661, , , unbelievable that medical schools don't teach nutricion.! 😳
Years ago I did a lot of cleanses in a desperate attempt to recover my health. The most unexpected effect of a herbal Small intestine and colon cleanse was that my agility increase 100% and - tada - afterwards I did not need glasses anymore! My optician was shattered.
Hi! Could you elaborate on the herbal colon and small intestine cleanse please?
Which herbs, etc Is there some kind of protocol to follow?
Thanks. 💚
@@Mantras-and-Mystics I used a German cleanse called Europa ... I cannot tell you exactly what it contained, but mainly physillium and a lot of cleaning herbs. There are other herbal remedies like it, I think. Have a look around. Good luck!
As a holistic nutritionist i recommend Bee Propolis and/or Oreganol as antibiotics of choice with very wide spectrum, yet without any devastating side effects.
Need to get teeth pulles out so this is what I would take as antibiotic?
@@lisagonzalez3861 The oral surgeon will give you antibiotics. Take the antibiotics as well as 600 mgs of Advil every six hours for pain. Rinse your mouth on the second day with salt water a few times a day. A tea bag placed on where the tooth was pulled helps healing and pain. Hope this helps.
As for kefir - milk kefir is THE best because it contains between 40 and 60 different strains of gut flora, versus the water kefir that contains only 7 to 15.
Water kefir uses regular sugar for fermentation and milk kefir uses the milk sugar / lactose for fermentation.
The fermentation consumes all the available sugar so there is no lactose left to trigger a response for those that are lactose intolerant.
As for kombucha, you again use sugar and tea - any tea, e.g. black, white, green or herbal.
Kombucha kills of gut pathogens like E Coli, Salmonella typhoid and Staph Aureus.
Herbal teas render the weakest kombucha, and regular black tea the most potent kombucha.
Green and white tea (NOT milk / latte white) are second and third in potency.
The obvious choice for an almost immediate reversal in gut flora depletion is Most definitely milk kefir.
The best milk to use is raw cow’s or goat milk.
UHT milk can be used but it’s undesirable because so many nutrients have been destroyed with the ultra pasteurisation process.
Nut Milks have very little nutrition to offer the kefir grains and will result in dying off of many strains of beneficial flora in your kefir grains.
To Most people the best they can do is to use fresh pasteurised milk but even that will bring about a remarkable change in health in as little as two weeks.
Blending your milk kefir with prebiotic foods offers the ultimate benefit, e.g. banana, ground flax seed / flax flour, etc,
May gods of all kinds bless you for providing these important facts, thank you!
But E.Colli in the colon is not harmful, but very useless because it is important for producing vitamin K. But it is harmful when it reaches the bladder and causes inflammation.
Milk kefir is also very important because of the proteins we need for our muscles. Not only for the gut flora. And there are no proteins in a water kefir.
I love kefir and have been drinking a small glass almost every day for over 10 years. More recently I've been grinding my own flax seeds and add them to my class of kefir. Delicious and refreshing. I do seem to have a palate for fermented and sour foods.
And for the lactose intolerant?
God bless thanks for this valuable information
I Prefer these probiotics in any order: Natto ( Fermented Soybeans) Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Kombucha tea preferably in the morning 30-45 minutes after drinking of 1 or 2 glass/es of water 😊👍,, exercise regularly, minimise stress,, no alcohol, no smoking, avoid pollution & Chemicals as much as possible, enough sleep & good diet (organic as much as we can) 🙏♥️💪😉
Thank you Dr Cremers for your great presentation! I just wanted to add something that isn't mentioned enough for anyone who becomes a kefir or kombucha fan. When regularly drinking either and/or other probiotic foods that are often very acidic, PLEASE protect you teeth by taking certain simple measures. It's considered best to have the beverages during mealtime or have a glass of water following the kefir, etc. Also, certain dentists advise not to brush your teeth right afterwards (and not to use a hard bristle brush), wait until the saliva has been given a chance to balance the PH in the mouth, maybe with a glass of water is lack of saliva is an issue. The enamel of our teeth can become porous due to the acidity and it can become damaged and once it's gone, it can't be rebuilt.
I drink these beverages with a straw now, because following a teeth cleaning that was pure torture, it took me almost a year for my tooth sensitivity to subside. I've never had problems with my teeth and had never had such a painful tooth cleaning. It was actually the polishing part that was tourture... There's a lot of info out there, but you really have to go looking for it. I love kefir and kombucha and feel that it does a lot of good to my gut microbiome, but I learned about the acidity-teeth issue that hard way. Don't hesitate to look into this issue.
Eat homemade yogurt. Buy fatty cow milk, boil it, cool it down until you can hold your pinky in it for 10 seconds, then either drop a few chickpeas in it or add yogurt yeast. Keep it warm by putting the container into a microwave or an ordinary oven that seals heat. Even a bathroom towel covering can do. Wait 12 hours. Then put it into fridge and wait for 6 hours. If you want to help the bacteria add a cube of sugar when the milk is hot. Don't add salt because it kills the probiotics. If you wish to drink it, run the blender in it and you have Ayran. Run it with fresh mint and you have minty ayran. Add mineral water to plain ayran (30/70) and it's the greatest hangover drink. Fun fact: Yoğurt is a liquid animal that lives in you and fights for you. And it's Turkish, not Greek.
Great video it's good to see a lot of younger doctors today are upgrading on dietary information! Sauerkraut and yogurt are excellent sources of probiotics the only problem is the store-bought ones are usually all pasteurized (probably required by law) and that kills off mostly all the good probiotics. I make my own homemade sauerkraut, I think that's the best way to go!🙏🏼💪
I have mold illness and need to avoid all fermented foods while I detox mold mycotoxins. The only probiotic I can take without getting sick is Saccharomyces Boulardii. Thank you for this program. I'm always listening for answers to heal my gut.
Check out water fasts…heals the body and resets your systems
What test did you take for mold? What symptoms did you have?
@@lisagonzalez3861 The test my ND uses is called Mosaic. The list of symptoms is very long and can be symptoms for other illnesses. Since mold illness is not on most doctors' radar, they don't consider it. If you do an ERMI test in your house (several sources found online), you can determine if your house is "sick." But, mold mycotoxins can be stored in your body for years so you could be made sick from a previous house. I've almost got all the mold mycotoxins out of my body (yahoo!) and now I'm working on eliminating a parasite that moved in while my immune system was suppressed. The fun never ends! Best wishes for your good health.
@@lisagonzalez3861 Look up ochratoxin-A and the symptoms associated with it. If you suspect mold toxins, also look into oxalates, B-vitamin deficiency, and candida overgrowth (candida becomes pathogenic in its hyphal form when there is too much oxalate). There is a cascade of health issues that develops after mold exposure. The ones I listed are just a few big ones. The s. boulardii mentioned above is good for getting the candida back in check.
Apple cider vinegar is another great prebiotic.
I discovered the eye-gut connection ten years ago when after a colectomy or having a piece of intestine removed and my gut biodome completely erased, I had to get a stronger pair of reading glasses. It also affected my brain and made me a bit stupid until I could work on regaining the gut biodome. Another reason the promiscous use of antibiotics is a bad idea.
On the topic of how this affects eye health. One reason is that Vitamin K2 is made by our gut bacteria. Thus, if we don't get enough from our microbiome, or from animal foods, then we'll be lacking Vitamin K2 (after antibiotics without proper bacteria), and more likely to get cataracts.
Bee pollen is an excellent source of good bacteria.
I don’t know this about bee pollen. Thanks for this. Is honey enough or I have to actually buy bee pollen?
@@CL-im9lk Buy bee pollen. I use one teaspoon (Monday to Friday). Prepare it in the evening (day before consuming) with a quarter of a cup filled with (orange) juice. You need some acidity to crack it (you can use half a lemon juice also). Next day in the morning I fill the rest of the cup with water and use it to wash down my supplements. Other option is to have bee pollen dissolved in a yogurt (same principle, try to add overnight and consume next day). Third option is to add pollen to overnight oats (dissolved in a water - least effective, but it will be fine).
@@vladimirsak - I'd go with the pollen, but honey itself likely has some as well. Note that Bee Pollen should really be organic, or from somewhere way out in the middle of nowhere. There are pesticides in it very often. Whether or not it's good bee pollen depends on where it's collected. If it's from collected from bees using plants that pesticides have been used on, you're likely getting pesticides. And the organic stuff isn't cheap, but you only need like 1/4 teaspoon per day - loaded with B vitamins.
@@jeffg4686y a t-il de la vitamine B12 dans le pollen d'abeille ?
In the USA a lot of foods are pasteurized, so it's hard to get probiotics from foods.
When you sterilize anything you kill almost everything that is in it.. .sterilization a.k.a. pasteurization
Exellent correct information!
I hope this video will be seen by millions of people..gut health is excrucial!
Also, Kefir/fermented foods and drinks are the worst thing to ingest you have any type of Candida overgrowth, so be careful.
02:53 more than ever i am convinced that antibiotics had everything to do with the emergence of depression in my teens, as it was prescribed by doctors like a candy during my bouts of skin infection and boils during my formative years.. im still struggling with it today, 30 years later
Thank you! Ive been on a mission to educate myself on the gut microbiome and heal myself. Changed my diet, taking helpful health supplements, praying, meditating, excersing, and eliminating toxic people from my life. However, I'm very concerned that I'm getting blurry vision within the last 6 months. I'm happy to see and hear you sharing this video. I have a pulmonary condition so kefir doesn't work for me. I do lots of green tea, mushrooms, kimchi(everyday), Vitamin k, c, d3, etc. Is there a specific supplement to help with what i assume is degenerative eye condition. Doing my best to be my best at 67. Thanks again❤
Cataract surgery is very common, around your age. They say it's very safe, and I've talked to several people that said their vision became 20/20 without glasses.
@@olympics1234567 , really do not want to go under the knife.
Not in that order. Eliminating the toxic people is number 1 in terms of preventing chronic disease.
Please go see an opthalmologist. Some conditions require medical intervention. I was sure glad I went. It saved my vision.
Eyebright herb?
I can't believe this: ".. most surgeons (...) know very little about gut microbiome, it's not something we were taught in medical school..." 😮
This, also nutrition, allergies, even life style, are the basics that come before any drugs, antibiotics, steroids, etc, prescriptions. (In my country, anyway).
Yep, it's frightening that these basics aren't taught to medical professionals. How can you heal people without understanding or being able to educate your patients about the fundamentals of good health?!
Have you seen the study published on how oxalates induce breast cancer? Oxalate overloads impact upon everything in the body (its not just about the anti-biotics), its clear that Blepharitis is also about oxalates. Oxalates impact on the gut and GI tract, e.g, leaky gut etc. Oxalates cause inflammation in the body and oxalates comes from the foods that people are eating. There is also a study on how oxalates cause degeneration of the eyes and are the cause of torn retina's. Not only that but tartar on the teeth is oxalates. I recommend that you read Sally K Norton's book "Toxic Superfoods".
What is the source or sources of Oxylates
@@pelonconstante6271
Spinach, Kale and many more common foods - Google it.
@@pelonconstante6271Spinach is one. That was a shocker and downer for me because I love eating spinach.
@@pelonconstante6271oxalates are a natural defense mechanism in plants to make them unattractive to animals. Rhubarb is very high in oxalates, as are swiss chard, kale, and spinach. Most nuts are also high in oxalates, especially almonds.
When reducing your oxalate consumption it's important to do it slowly, so that you don't have a "rebound" reaction that could land you in the hospital.
Sally K Norton is a recognized authority on oxalates. If you want an informative introduction to oxalates, you can check out Elliott Overton at EO Nutrition on CZcams. Reducing your oxalates can contribute to a significant improvement in your quality of life.
Gut microbiom and oral microbiom.

💖Intermittent Fasting is amazing fellow dearly beloved🌏🤲Currently on my 8th day of 4PM to 8AM (16 HOUR) FASTING, shifting to 18 HOUR FASTING (1PM TO 7AM). I'm having plant-based diet (with egg) from 8AM to 4PM. I'm having samosa with curd (plain unsweetened yogurt), cabbage, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, walnut, dates, atchara (pickled unripe papaya & carrots, etc.) alternating with Kimchi, unsalted butter, and raisin wheatbread. I usually have 1 fresh buko or young coconut juice and meat, citrus fruits, ripe papaya, and apple, etc. before eating the eggs, walnuts, wheatbread etc.. Fruits first in breaking my fasts... I drink warm plain green tea and water as much as I can while fasting. On my 2nd dose of every other day of once a day 1 big cup of cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, 1 tbsp of honey, and 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. The chronic on and off inflammation (since 2006 - I have been lacto-ovo vegetarian since December 2006) and ulcers in my body are amazingly healing.

Colloidal silver is almost miraculous. Easily treats UTIs
Excellent presentation. I need to learn more about the microbiome. I have learned over the years, the importance of Taurine, Zinc, Tryptophan, Magnesium, and the Cartenoids/Retinols when it comes to the eyes. I wonder how the restoring the integrity of the Taurine/Zinc/Magnesium balance affects the integrity of how the microbiome works.
I was interested to hear the latest thoughts on this topic. I have IBD, so I was aware of most of it. I noticed you talked about sauerkraut. One caution, I read that many types of sourkraut sold in the US are heated before packaging, so fermentation is minimal.
When I buy sauerkraut from a shop I open the jar and let it outside the fridge over night, next day can go in the fridge. It will ferment and keep good bacteria alive.
Wow, very informative for me! I am familiar with most of this and have drastically changed my diet in my old age. I grew up on baloney and "cheese" sandwiches on Wonder Bread" slathered with margarine! But my Mum fed us lots of veggies and we thrived
I have eaten a decent diet most of my life. But a lot of the wrong food. And it caught up with me in my late sixties...it was mostly just. Cutting way back on the treats ..a blueberry muffin in the morning once in a while!!!! No more Danish muffins either!!!!! At 72 my poop is good again!!!!! Gracias!
I strongly suggest the work of Jason Hawrelak that you can find on CZcams. He discusses the power of PREbiotic foods that actually repopulate the gut whereas PRObiotics are only temporary residents. Those high fiber foods she mentions (beans, oats, fruits and vegetables) are pre-biotic.
Lovely informative video ! Do you distinguish between pre and pro biotics, because some authors say that the probiotics (ferments) that introduce bacteria to your gut are minimally impactful on microbiome diversity compared to the probiotic (starches and fibre) that feed the bacteria themselves, and then others say the opposite. There seems to be a lot of confusion or misinformation on the subject. Could you clarify this for us or give some references that compare pre and pro scientifically ?
Without prebiotics (fiber, aka plant foods) in your diet, your gut bacteria really just won't flourish. Probiotics and fermented foods can help you build diversity in there. Short answer: both is best.long answer: find Dr B, the gut MD, on CZcams (interviewed on various channels). There are loads of reliable docs talking about this online. They agree on the basics.
Prebiotics are the fiber that the good bacteria (probiotics) eat.
What is water based kefir? How it is made? Kefir is bunch of grains that consists of 50+ strains of good bacteria (lactobacteria etc) and good fungi. They all eat sugar, lactose in milk in this case. What can they eat in water? Thank you for reply.
You make it with some fruit juice.
Water kefir is not the same “grain” as in milk kefir grains. Water kefir grains are clear crystals, and they are not interchangeable.
Also I need to correct her on her words. She obviously doesn’t know very much about these two very different ferments. She said water kefir has less sugars than milk kefir. Water kefir is made with very sugary water, lots of sugar. Yes milk has sugar in the form of lactose, but that is the food that grains eat/ need in order to create probiotics. Same with water kefir, the grains eat the sugar and convert it to probiotic drink, that is different from milk kefir. Different strains!
I have been making all kinds of kefirs and kombucha as well for over 10 years now.
Water Kefir are called Telicos.
@@cangel201 Interesting reply. Only thing I find puzzling is that I found no problem getting great kefir using lactose free milk and have done so for years. Would that imply that the milk is incorrectly labeled or that the starter grains are sugar dense?
Singer Bobby Caldwell died when he was floxed by an antibiotic.
Up until the onset of the pandemic, Bobby Caldwell, the singer-songwriter who died March 2023 at the age of 71, was regularly performing. The crooner behind the 1978 hit “What You Won’t Do For Love” still toured across the United States and in Japan, where he enjoyed a devoted following. But in 2020, when the world stopped, the music did, too - at least for Caldwell. By that point, he was “living a tortured life,” his wife, Mary Caldwell, says.
Pain that coursed from his limbs up into his spine hounded him day and night, and in his final years, he was unable to walk without help. His decline was swift, Mary recalls. One day, he was still the vibrant embodiment of “blue-eyed soul” whose songs are still being sampled in music today. The next, he’d lost all feeling in his fingertips and could barely strum a guitar. What happened? The performer had been “floxed,” a term used to describe the brutal array of side effects caused by fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a series of advisories about these drugs and recommended they only be used for stubborn infections, but few Americans seem to be aware of the risks. Mary’s hope is that by providing an intimate view of the harm fluoroquinolones exacted on Bobby, others will exercise greater caution around these commonly prescribed antibiotics.
“I wouldn’t want anyone else to suffer this kind of fate,” she tells us.
Bobby’s downhill slide began on January 13, 2017, when he awoke with a cold. He was preparing for a 20-show tour in Japan and was hoping to curtail his runny nose and cough when he visited an urgent-care clinic. He came home with a prescription for cough syrup and levofloxacin, according to Mary, 63, who worked as Bobby’s manager and eventually became his caretaker.
For the next seven days, he dutifully took the medication - until one morning, he wasn’t able to stand. He told Mary that his “Achilles were killing him,” she says. She inspected the long tendons at the back of his ankles and found them inflamed and tender. The next day they saw an orthopedist who scratched his head and asked Bobby if he’d recently jumped off a building. Absent that, he couldn’t see how Bobby had sustained this level of tissue trauma. “It was so bizarre,” Mary says.
They eventually learned later that both of his Achilles had ruptured, one of the odd symptoms the FDA warned consumers about back in 2008. The reaction isn’t thought to be common, but it happens often enough that Barbara Trautner, M.D., Ph.D., a clinician at the Houston V.A. Medical Center studying antibiotic use, has a regular refrain for patients who start feeling pain there: “Call me right away.”
Mary quickly suspected that the levofloxacin was to blame. She researched the drug online and found a long list of warnings that included nerve damage, dangerous blood-sugar fluctuations, and even aortic rupture. But at that point, “it was like the genie was out of the bottle,” she says.
“It was so abrupt. Up until that seventh pill, life was great. Then it literally was like the curtain came down. Everything changed for the worst.”
Also take a look at the Oral microbiome for lack of Nitric Oxide and prebiotics
EXCELLENT video thank you so much loads of real information in your video ,Thank you a big hug from us both .
A word of caution regarding colonics. The microbiome of the intestines is equally important as the gut. And colonics can cause major damage to the intestinal microbiome, because the use of psyllium and / or clay, strips the intestinal walls of essential enzymes and good bacteria. For me it took about 18 months for healing the damage.
Colonics seems pretty darn unnatural, too
Gut and intestine is sams
Gut and intestine is Same
Where did she talk about the microbiome's connection to the eye?
I am still amazed how is/was the US so behind regarding the knowledge of antibiotics being bad for your gut Microbiome, while in Europe there were doctors telling you to eat a large amount of yogurt when they did prescribe antibiotics 45 years ago!? And States are just now catching up on that information!
When you want to sell your industrial scale mass produced products, make max profits from them while churning up an endless supply of customers thereafter, you don't tell your customers anything that could deter them
Thank the rock a fellas medicine ! !! 😁
Thank you ever so much!
Thank you for the useful advices !My son has allways uveitis and had cataract on his right eye.He had surgery ,and put a lentile ,but the uveitis still exist and he is not seeing well.We made a lot of investigation ,and there not found any sickness which can cause the uveitis.However he has a lot of food intolerance ,lactose and casein ,sugar,yeast..so now I'm thinking maybe his gut is the cause of his eye problem...
Dr. Sandra Cremers,
It's the first time that I'm watching your video and I've already subscribed because am very happy to learn so many things; while watching, am having some of my homemade yogurt with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, chia seeds, hemp hearts, strawberries, blueberries and brazil nuts. I consume yogurt almost every day but with different fruits and nuts.
This is a very educational video; thank you and God bless 🙏🌹
Kefir is delicious. I drink it frequently. Very easy to make it, which we do with whole milk. See CZcams videos which describe various methods. 👍
Was this supposed to be about how eyes are affected?
Beste Dr. Cremers, bij uw volgend familiebezoek in Nederland moet u zeker eens de bio kefir van het merk "Rauw Power" eens proberen, gemaakt van rauwe (niet-gepasteuriseerde) melk. Groeten uit België! (Ik word niet betaald om reklame te maken, ik vind het zelf gewoon lekker en gezond ;))
First off…I’m surprised to hear this coming from an eye doctor. I’m a eye athlete. What I mean by that is I draw for a living. So to see acutely from near to far and back again, for me is highly valuable. Of late it’s been declining a bit. For most things it’s fine, but it’s not what it was in my mid 20’s or so. So I’m now looking into things to help restore my vision as much as possible without glasses. I have some videos with different takes on how to do this. But yours is the first that talks about it in this way. Of late I’ve been on antibiotics for the very reason you mention here. And I’ve felt my vision suffering a bit more that usual. So I stopped the video and bought some probiotics drinks which I’d been thinking about doing anyway. LOL 😂. It’s really weird that most doctors treating me talk nothing about this sort of thing. Yet doctors on the net are all over it. It’s disappointing. I really have little faith in the honesty of the medical field in the USA at this point. I’m now following you and will see what else you may have to offer. I’m basically healthy as a horse. My vision is 80-90% as good as it’s ever been. But for what I do, the better it is…the more useful it is to my profession. Thanks for this video. It was timely.
Look into how riboflavin deficiency affects vision. It may or may not be relevant for you, but you will want to be aware of the topic.
I had cataract operation in both eyes when I was 45. Eye doctors said in your case something abnormal is causing the cataract to grow very fast .
Long story short, i had cronic gut health issues( fibromyalgia , osteoarthritis, neuropathy etc) later identified and fixed.
Thank you
I was wondering if. You could make a idea on the potential for reversing macular degeneration ? Thank you for all this information. After Covid my eyesight started to go. I have always had 20/20 vision.I want to get my eyes back into working order.
there are still good doctors.... i just dont have one nearby🙄😒
Great video. thanks
Your video started with eyesight. Do u have any idea if the foods we eat can cause or prevent macular degeneration. I have this condition . I am hoping that stem cell might help. TY for the information u provide ❤
CLICKBAIT
I use hibiscus blossoms for kombucha.
Read the book Super Gut by Dr. William Davis.
Great vids Doc! Thank you for acknowledging that doctors are also learning esp abt microbiome
I've been learning about the gut microbiome from the ZOE Health Study and I'm currently reading Food for Life by Tim Spector.
Just a few things I feel should be pointed out. Great topic that needs more attention. Most of the information was good, needed more detail. Kefir is pronounced Kuh-fear. I have been drinking homemade raw milk kefir for years, and full-fat raw milk my entire life. Because raw milk is not molested, disturbing the natural lactose-lactase balance, and also contains all the natural probiotics, it maintains very good glycemic response without the blood sugar spike. I know this because I have struggled with hypoglycemia; processed sugars are bad. I would also recommend an A2-A2 raw milk, or an A2-A1 at the very least for anyone that believes they have a lactose issue. Be certain to get any raw milk from good quality dairies and keep it quite cold until it's made into kefir.
Funny how many mispronounce the word kefir. And kombucha. She mispronounces both :P
I think Keh-fur, Ku-fear and Key-fur are all correctly pronounced. In Latin America it’s “bulgaros.” In Chile 🇨🇱 it’s known as “palomitas.” I’ve even heard someone refer to it as “mana” it’s all the same. Just depends what you first learned what to call it. I personally learned to pronounce it “Key-fur” and I don’t believe it’s incorrect.
@@susieflorian5978 Of course, it does not really matter how we pronounce it :) I just tend to be a stickler about pronunciation, and prefer to go by the pronunciation in the area of origin (which was what later became Turkey). For eg, isn't palomitas most commonly used to refer to popcorn? And then later, to sometimes refer to kefir? So, though it does not matter, I prefer what I understand to be the original pronunciation of keh-feer.
Are you drinking it as a way to ameliorate a health condition? thanks
@@KristinaApplegate Yes, many drink kefir to support their health.
I didn't listen what's related to the eyes. I opened this trying to get some info about why my eyes and head aches when I fast, or get a little dehydrated.
Dr Steven Gundry has a recipe for making one's own yoghurt with a high bacterial content.
Im dying for bars & clubs to sell kombucha in cocktail and wine glasses
Have you ever asked at a bar or club if they serve it? It would be really great for those of us who want to stay healthy and at the same time have something to drink that's both tasty and colourful!
@@ingevankeirsbilck9601 Yes! Omg they don’t care. I’ve even been told oh we cant risk it because of the shelf life n then been ignored after I showed them proof that its shelf stable🙄 I have been pushing n pushing for so many years. I bring my own n just pay them off😂
Anything that would help with nearsightedness?
Great info for my husband getting cataract surgery after have a Celiac's diagnosis. Surgeon says first eye is healing well but blurry 2 weeks post op while gut doctor says colitis is still a problem. I have been making yoghurt and trying to make fermented foods to help him. Maybe diet can help both.
I like the idea of "fermentd water". Worth a Nobel, that!
Great information
Simple words
To understand
A lot knowledge
Thank you doctor
so, how does that influence your eyes? Do you have any study showing that people's eye sight went down during the lock downs?
Its good that Westerners are learning about Kefir, saukraut, and kambucha. However to say that it will reverse bad eyesight is overstretch, i have bern eating these produce from 2 years old as well as buckwheat on a regular basis and I have a poor eyesight.
Very interesting. I use kefir and greek yogurt, exercise and avoid stress. Stop eating wheat bread and my digestion has improved greatly. 😊
Thank you from Europe ! What about sugar in kombucha or/and kefir ? Shoudn't we avoid sugars ?
Kefir is great in a fruit smoothie. Buy with no sugar.
What brand in the US?
I learned something very important for myself....the connection with depression!!
Like just about all of us I have bad days occasionally. Wake up in the morning and pow...I am depressed, a little anxious and there is no reason for it..had a good night's sleep, today was no different than yesterday.. I was looking forward to getting to the house I was building. But just a general feeling of blah!!! Maybe those nasty little things livin'
Inside me.... Yikes!
yep. And try to remember your dreams, bcuz they can be illuminating on those mornings.
Sleep, sunshine, exercise and drinking plenty of water are all important and of course nutrition. Incorporating fermented foods like kefir, kombucha and fermented vegetables will help so much. I’m going on my 7th year consuming these foods I have not looked back and will not stop.
Seratonin, which is the biggest influencer in depression, is mostly produced in the gut. Guard your gut health, and invest in taking care of it.
Some information suggests 65% of adults cannot digest milk after infancy. My grandmother made fermented cabbage and many other fermented items that were table staples. I am not a fan of sugar. Naturopathic doctors are trained in this area. How do you know the probiotic is a live culture? I test mine in milk if I make a purchase for 24 hrs. in a glass dish covered. If I see curds, then I feel comfortable there are live bacteria. I prefer to make my own so I can control the processing and fermentation.
Everything makes good sense but the effect on There eyes was not mentioned much.
Very impressive!! God Bless!! Well presented!!
Where's the specific eye information? You mentioned the word 'eyeball' possibly once...
Very well but the topic which was eye was almost completely lost!
It was just Compact and Perfect. Thanks a lot.
Great video! Thank you for the information. I’m on my 7th year consuming kefir, kombucha, fermented vegetables and homemade sourdough bread on a daily basis. I’m 62 years old and feel better than when I was in my 30s! I love learning about cultured foods and now I teach others how to make them.
I have healed my gut if ulcerative colitis but still have dry eye.
Bravo ! Merci pour ce partage !
I live with a skinny person and his gut microbiome is fine and I have horrible symptoms with gut, inflammation, long covid, mitocondria, candida
Very interesting video, thankyou very much.
This was great information. I would like to ask about the impact of animal products on the gut. I see a lot of people doing a carnivore diet, eating only meat and animal fats and they are seeing amazing results in digestion. Any thoughts on that?
How do you tell the difference between lab produced meat and regular meat?
I also heard that meat is being injected with the mRNA vaccine.
As a 5 year carnivore my digestion is great!
Carnivore here too, for the first time I'm my life I have Normal ablutions. That's the best indicator. Oh, it's cured my knee pain.
@@chavbudgie4299ablutions? What is an ablution?
I had a stroke in January 2021. After listening to everyone on CARNIVORE, I started July of 21. There are too many benefits..gut issues gone, depression and mental issues gone, inflammation, pain, throughout my body gone, weight effortlessly going down down down....😊
Have watched the video twice, but can't find where the video actually talks specifically about how the gut microbiome affects your eyes?
I make my own kefir and yoghurt.
Pick your friends carefully before you exchange microbes.
😂😂
😂
Great and informative video!! Thank you so much!!
Can I ask please - what if one needs antibiotic EYE DROPS, due to inflammation in the eyes?
Can those drops affect the gut microbiome in a negative way? After all, medication is absorbed as well through mucous membranes etc.
Would love your thoughts on this! 🙏🍀
My mum had chronic eyes inflammation months after cataracts surgery. The doctor prescribed eyesdrops (antibiotic) which was not effective. I suggested she uses 100% organic rose water as regular eyesdrop. Well, she got great results! Without side effects. Maybe you could give it a try? Rose water is a natural antiseptic.
@@SwahaChrisThank you dir mentioning! Did she use just pure rose water or special eyedrops on basis of rose water? Thank you so much!
@@c.c.1900 pure rose water (organic)
Where can one get a fecal transplant without having CDiff? You listed several things a FT can help (and I agree), but as far as I know, it's impossible to get one here in the US unless you have CDiff and antibiotics have failed. I would appreciate your input about this! Thank you!
You can order tested poop online, join a trial, travel to other countries, or find and test your own local donor
I know beside the wonderful bifido bacteria, acramencia bacteria, ........lactobacilius bacteria is the best to take it only from the best organic Bulgarian yogurt in a glass jar in Whole foods store.
I think the name of the company is "White mountain" Bulgarian yogurt, This is the crown of the jewel.
Also pomegranade juice , real Italian Parmigiano cheese, and good organic red wine is the best to feed the good ones.
So could Bulgarian feta cheese be a good milk kefir starter?
No, the Bulagarian chees has nothing to do with the Kefir .Kefir is great and it should be organic grade.
Did I miss it? Were eyes ever mentioned? Surely serious influencers should avoid clickbait. This vid is interesting but my eye problems have not been addressed here so it was a waste of time.. thanks fof setting my research back 10 minutes
👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏾👍🏼👍🏽
CLICKBAIT 😢
I like your introduction and Honestly of the knowledge about the gut mirobiem
It’s not recommended to take Probiotics simultaneously with antibiotics because the probiotics will die. You must wait at least 3 hours after taking antibiotics before taking them .
thanks so much very interesting
These hospitals and doctors scoff at the nutrition and the inflammatory disease today they try to get more patient-recommended things that they never considered before.
Thank you for a most informative videoh. I took notes.
Antibiotics-means anti life
Probiotic means --Prolife😬😬😬😬😬😬💪🐝🐝🐝🐝
