So interesting, thank you for this valuable work and information. One suggestion, please fix the audio, it was almost too difficult to listen to the whole piece. Thanks again.
My daughter was born with gram rod negative citrobactor sp? But she was in the hospital for 11 days on 3 diff antibiotics. Her pediatrician was in constant talks with the cdc. She was born 12/1995 and they added her case to the medical journal. She was born with a fever, thank God, or they wouldn’t have caught it so fast. They weren’t sure if she was going to survive. She did ❤️ thankful for the medical community and everyone who saved my daughters life.
I agree that the audio quality was poor and distracting, to a point where the host lost the interest from many audience. I am guessing that it was due to poor internet connection as opposed to low quality sound recording equipment. I suggest the host can try turning off video camera next time to allow better audio data flow through a limited bandwidth.
I guess it's not just "all in your head."
Wow, I wish I had known about this while caring for my mother who had mental health problems.
I have a friend who hears voices. She took a little Kimchi, with her lunchtime meal, for about 6 months. Her problem is almost completely gone. Another friend wasn't helped by Kimchi. Her voices were solved by sublingual vit. B12.
Great info! I use both. Will so with greater consistency. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this.
Very sad about cutting the vagus nerves.
I’m hungry I’m hungry !
That's bizarre to know two ppl who hear voices ..Ive never known anyone who's heard voices ..so to know two is interesting , and then have them both cured by figuring out they needed to fix it through food is even weirder
Dr. Rampersaud, here is a topic I would like to discuss with you.
The State of California allows the use of recycled water for growing crops consumed raw, how might this affect the gut microbiome, hence your work? There numerous peer reviewed studies , including some going back decades (1950s), demonstrating that wastewater plants generate and release drug resistant organisms and their genes. These are discharged with the effluent and well within the effluent from tertiary treated levels. These bacteria can set up reservoirs in the environment that can see the passage of genes to background bacteria.
Here is part of a note from 2012 which was ignored by the health department
------Name of plant withheld-------sells its recycled water to growers who in turn use it for irrigation and thus supply the area with crops consumed raw, e.g., strawberries and broccoli. It is well known that bacteria can track up into crops via the root and vascular systems. It is also well known that resistant organisms can transfer, in a single step, their genetic information to non resistant, non pathogenic organisms that inhabit the gut, respiratory system and skin, thus creating new pathogens and higher order pathogens. Thus, our findings and documentation of multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDRB) and their genes in the local recycled water supply warrants further discussion, but with whom and within what agency(s)? The question remains unanswered at this point."
Dr Edo McGowan
Look up the Omni Processor that Bill Gates and Pete Janicki...It makes drinking water from human waste and the left over sludge from the pits are mixed into a gelatinous matter that is being sprayed onto crops in Eastern Washington as green fertilizer.
Great question Dr McGowan. I do believe that a high-quality food supply (nutrient-dense, free from/low in chemical pesticides and herbicides) is essential to support good health and mental wellness resilience. Human sewage used in agriculture must play a role in the proliferation and increasing trends of those experiencing mental health challenges, chronic disease, antibiotic resistance, and other compromised health issues. Add to that the high levels of production and consumption of GMO crops in processed foods that are laced with glyphosate (and other chemicals) and there's even more disruption of the gut microbiota. This chemical also contaminates protein synthesis via glyphosate uptake rather than glycine in some cases, creating junk proteins and probably neurotransmitters as well. This is an incredibly complex thing to research and isolate the many variables. I do hope researchers can include this in their studies one day to help better identify root causes of disease, and the possible remedies for improving cognitive function (and overall health). Perhaps this could help reduce or eliminate these toxic agriculture practices that are contributing to poor health. Sadly, we know the chemical companies often financially support these universities and so research in this area is discouraged or prohibited to hide the evidence.
Has anyone looked into the effect of living in an abusive nation-state?
We all are doing our own research.
Yes. Now we had "Adult Sudden Death Syndrome" wich is blood clots and heart attacks from the forced experimental vaccines
That's such a great comment ..we are all under such stress for the last two years. It's all messed up that it could cause immunity problems
Thank you so much! I’ve described my depression as a body depression, leaning to suicidal thinking for most of my life. I have tried everything. This makes me feel like there is hope! Thanks again! ✨
There IS hope. My over 25-year chronic depression and suicidal thoughts have healed after 2 years of biopathic therapy (gut cleansing with herbal remedies) and body-focused psychotherapy (biodynamic psychotherapy).
Do look at whole food plant based eating.
look for hormonal therapy, study medicinal mushrooms, and consider gut microbiome homeostasis. Collectively you will find solution, i have been there and this is how i got out. Good luck.
and also, cut sugar off and intermiten fasting
Checking in. How are you doing, Lisa?
I've had IBS and anxiety my entire life. Thank you for putting this out, it's very informative,..I used to be into natural fermentation, that seemed helpful..but love all of the connections you made that make so much sense to me! Blessings to all from Canada
That makes sense. Fermented vegetables include Lactobacili & they are lowered in depression and anxiety etc. I too found that fermented vegetables have improved my mood significantly.
I was on 2 antibiotics for a year and had terrible anxiety. when I was finally able to stop the antibiotics the anxiety completely dissipated after about 2 weeks.
Thank you for the content!!!! This is a great subject and needs more coverage!!!
Thought provoking presentation. Thank you!
Unfortunately I had to quit this interesting talk due to the poor audio quality.
I wonder how this could impact closed environments like hospitals and long-term space travel...
I hope this can be republished with a local audio recording avoiding the noise and bandwidth processing interfering with this one, if it was made.
Wow! What an awesome presentation about the connection between the gut and the brain. Thankyou for the way you taught about the complex systems and interactions in such an easy to understand way. I'm really enjoying learning about the link between the brain and the gut.
I have made a link between what I eat and how I feel mentally and physically and emotionally. As someone who suffers from a complex combination of chronic health challenges, I am learning to manage my daily life by working to record everything in a specific diary I call my health journal, to review it and to add notes from my research. I plan to show it to both my doctor and the team of specialists who help me.
As someone recently diagnosed with coeliac disease I wonder if gluten is one of the things you have studied.
I have also been diagnosed with Bipolar spectrum disorder, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome as well as other chronic health challenges. I know in myself that all the health challenges that I face daily are all linked as they affect one another. If I have a flare-up of one or more of my challenges at once it usually leads to a cycle of all of them flaring up.
I am researching to find the small changes that I can make that will eventually add up to better/balanced/stable health. Every so often I find something big I can do that makes a big difference, for example the day someone in my extended family mentioned a link between lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity . I researched, talked to my doctor and my specialist. Then started to eliminate all gluten from my life because I felt better without it. Such a difference in my quality of life within a week. I went thru the process of being diagnosed (even though we were pretty sure I was coeliac) as I wanted to be sure it was included in my medical records for everyone in my medical team to see.
Thankyou for all your hard work.
Blessings from South Eastern Australia (near Canberra)

Hey Dot, how is your progress now eliminating dairy and grain? I encourage you to try out getting all the grain out of your diet for 4 weeks, then do careful challenges of one at a time. Some people can tolerate oats and others can't. Your health journal is a powerful tool for guiding your healing. Congratulations and best of luck to you!
Do check out Fiber Fueled. It's about making sure you only eliminate foods you really need to eliminate and how to re-introduce foods in small steps so you CAN handle them.
By far the greatest video I've seen on the subject. Actually describing the experiments and conclusions.
these are so exciting research findings!
Really great presentation, thanks. It's public service!
What a bummer they couldn't pick up a mic to make this aurally endurable. Barely accessible for someone relying on audio for this presentation.
This was a stunning presentation!
One I learnt recently that given the right temperature and timing it’s perfectly acceptable to cook a chicken from frozen… no need to de frost
Yes, and fish too, such as salmon.
I'm so confused because I thought one of the worse things for the gut was antibiotics?? As a matter of fact, my teenager had severe acne, a doctor put her on doxycycline, and for an entire week, my daughter was almost a different person. It was like someone turned off her light switch, entirely took the life out of her. Unless I am totally misunderstanding what you guys are saying, I'm confused.
I'm going to start over again and listen because something isn't adding up.
My understanding is that antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria indiscriminately. The neat effect after the treatment really depends on what kind of bacteria survived the antibiotic treatment, and if any good (or bad) bacteria re-establish. If someone feels bad post treatment, he or she should consume fermented food and/or supplement with probiotics before/during/after the treatment to maximize the chance that the good bacteria have repopulate the gut.
If someone took a lawnmower and went across a saturated flower bed that has both beautiful flowers and weeds the lawnmower would chop everything.
You are now left with a garden bed that is vacant. If you don’t fill that garden bed with happy flowers then there is more opportubity and space for weeds to grow.
Essentially this is a metaphor for the relationship between antibiotics and gut bacteria. It wipes everything. Which is good if there are lots of weeds. But you need to rehab your gut by treating it with good bacteria (flowers) sources and minimze bad bacteria (weeds).
Yeah, you're daughter has gut dysbiosis and I would check her for candida too, it tends to take over since no microbes are there to keep it in check. But for the love of God, don't give her accutane
This is a strong side effect. Did she stop taking it?
@@Raii_Chu finally someone who speaks my language in simple terms. Seriously it is amazing how your simple answer presented this so that I could comprehend. Thank you so much.
Thanks doc! From what I recall lactobacilis is found naturally on all cabbage type vegetables
Google tells me that lactobacillus develops when cabbage is fermented to make (homemade) sauerkraut and kimchi. Commercial products have ingredients added or are processed in ways that kill the lactobacillus. Cooking and boiling kills lactobacillus.
@@PrairieDawnC one of those additives that kill bacteria would be table salt of which kimchi and sauerkraut are particularly high
@@eelkeaptroot1393 interesting. It's so difficult to know which prepared foods or home recipes are the healthiest. How do you optimize lactobacillus?
@@PrairieDawnC I mostly strive to eat a wide variety of whole plant foods in considerable large quantities. The fibre eating bacteria are also considered to have beneficial effects so cultivating those by eating lots of fibre is recommended
@@PrairieDawnC Make your own sauerkraut, its simple (although it takes a while)
Very helpful.
Liked and subscribed!
Happy belated Birthday Angie, you are a very sweet lady!
Interesting subject but sound quality… could have been checked before going live… Yes?
Great stuff!! And so obvious our days)) maybe some words about”gut brain”?
This is not a new idea. It's just that the mainstream is behind. Holistic practitioners have known this for quite awhile. Maybe now mainstream medicine will take notice.
Agreed, sadly when they try and share such breakthrough discoveries, mysterious meet untimely demise... R.I.P to all that have.
The Navy has been aware of this for a very very long time
The researchers aren’t unaware of this. Sometimes science is reluctant to study phenomena for which there isn’t much anecdotal evidence. As more and more people report benefits, science steps in to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of the phenomenon, their effects, and if they happen by chance or not.
Had to stop video due to poor audio quality - and the speaker was speaking too fast.
Slow playback speed, turn off sound, turn on captions. Problem solved.
UCTV doesn't know how to produce comprehensible audio? I give up and will keep my eyes open for the expert to speak elsewhere
I agree. The sound is a pain. That´s a pity because I would like to hear what this guy has to say. But listening is very strenuous.
FWIW, I had no issues with the audio (using speakers, not headphones). While it may not be the greatest audio quality (and I agree recording quality could be better), all the words were pretty clear to me.
@@orvbongat9114 you're fortunate. Sadly, not everyone is so lucky, I find the poor quality audio extremely difficult to decipher.
@@juliasutherland5970 turn on captions
Makes sense why for years frozen yogurt always makes me happy and giddy like a brain high!!
The poor quality audio was so distracting that I clicked away.. Really unfortunate because the topic is incredibly important.
Is there any similar research on Bifidobacteria spp.? I believe these are easy to reinforce in the colon by use of Inulin.
This was a fascinating talk! Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the progression of these studies.
plant-based +fermented
wonder how this could help people with overcoming addiction...
I eat alot of Activia and it helps with constant hunger due to depression. wonder if it can also help with tapering off benzos?
You still need to taper off them very slowly month by month reducing little by little.
A really useful tool that I would of not be able to function without while on a unexpectedly taper when my Dr got terminally ill & quit without notice....was Big Pharma's worse enemy--" soffegio frequencies and binaural beats" . Look up a video about the power of 528hz, and also Dr.Gerald Smith on CZcams here. He tells what frequency will heal any tapers, medication changes, so you won't feel the effects. They are starting to open medical spas everywhere with these..also something called quantum med beds....they are awesome. ✨💕
Semax is the BEST for that!!! There is a video on YT "Semax Review and Answering FAQ'S Nasal Drops that help your brain."
No doctor should put you on such a high dose of Benzos that you would need to taper off them.
SCFAs.Eating a lot of fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes, is linked to a rise in health-promoting short-chain fatty acids.024 This is due to the influence of dietary fibers on increasing the levels of short-chain fatty acids in the colon through gut microbial fermentation. Various fermented foods made by bacterial fermentation, such as cheese, butter, alcoholic beverages, pickles, sauerkraut, soy sauce, and yoghurt, are also highly enriched in SCFAs.3 The amount and types of fiber in the diet impact the balance of bacteria in the gut, which affects the levels and types of short-chain fatty acids that are produced.1 Eating a variety of plant-based foods is the surest way to get in all the gut-boosting fiber needed to fuel fatty acid production.0
sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir, kombucha, kimchi
I had to stop listening 🙉 due to the sound quality. I was getting a headache straining to understand the garbled words. I certainly hope there’s an attempt to redo this fascinating talk.
I'm listening with headphones. So far not having any trouble. Maybr it's different using one earbud rather than two?
@@leavethemkidsalone860 I’m watching on my speakers and it doesn’t seem garbled. Ice got closed captions on and they seem to be working great.
Fermented dairy wrecks my gut, but lactic acid starter culture in sausage is perfectly fine for me. What is the difference between these strains?
Might just be concentration. Some people can tolerate some amount of dairy before it causes issues.
@@thunderlifestudios huh
Could be the dairy, instead of the lactic acid. The healthiest food sources for your gut are plants (fermented or not).
@@k.h.6991 Many plants nearly kill me, so not good advice.
Pity about the poor audio quality
I appreciate the content you offer. However, the sound is deplorable. Every silly mediocre CZcams make up tip video producer is capable of using a proper microphone. Whoever is in charge - there is lots of scope for improvement in your job.
They need to use a real mic instead of the laptop mic.
Systemic 'cides are said to mess with our "endophytes" as well.... far-reaching ramifications for toxicological research.
What environmental conditions significantly correlate with populations expressing depressed vs vibrant gut microbiome?
NHL = Cytokines/interleukin.... interesting.....
interesting.... those who are compromised from an entero ecological sense are less inclined to seek out exposure events - allowing the wiped out niche to recover and maintain overarching ecological integrity.
