4:11 The microbiome and immunity

Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between your friendly gut bacteria and your immune system.

There are trillions of microbes that live in and around your body. This is called the microbiome. You give these microbes a place to live, and in exchange, they give you immune protection, nutrients, and other beneficial things.

• 70% of the immune system is the microbiome
• There are over 10,000 different species of friendly bacteria in and around the body
• 99% of your microbiome is nonpathogenic
• The majority of microbes are living in the gut

When you have an imbalance in gut bacteria or the microbiome, you start to:

• Lose your gut lymphatic layer
• Have a decrease in lymph nodes
• Have fewer antibodies
• Have a decrease in T-cell production
• Have fewer small-chain fatty acids
• Have less ability to make B12, B1, vitamin K, biotin, and lactic acid

The friendly bacteria hoard the amount of food and space available to limit the number of pathogenic microbes. The less microbiome you have, the weaker the intestinal barrier is, which can lead to leaky gut. It’s also my opinion that autoimmune diseases start in the gut.

COVID-19 attacks the cells through the ACE2 receptor. Your gut has way more ACE2 receptors than the lung tissue. So, this could be another mode of entry into the cell that goes beyond a lung infection.

hello dr Berg
I am an Arabic and Turkish speaker and I do a kind of simple demonstration of your videos on my fb page as a kind of summary
I am really proud that you are there to educate and make some complicated things clear for us

You helped me correct an issue I’ve been facing for 3 years. Doctors couldn’t help and neither could my gyno. Intermittent fasting helped me balance my body out. Now things are back to normal down there.

You are one of the rarest real doctors that have the real knowledge

Āyurveda also considers that autoimmune disorders start in the gut, along with the majority of other diseases.

Dr Berg should be Director of World health organisation, so much of good information for free. I have B12 deficiency from long time and gut issues as well. I think unhealthy gut is reason for all ailments...Thanks doctor for making such videos ❤️

I'm so glad you did this video! I've been having gut problems all my life and I also have myasthenia gravis. I always knew there was a link between the two because I feel my best when my gut is good. But having a good gut day is rare for me.

I always wonder why doctors never talk about this. Thank you Dr Berg.

I drink Apple Cider Vinegar with water & lemon (with a little Manuka honey if I remember) Monday to Friday and I drink Kefir on a regular basis.🇨🇦

This was awesome to hear as I’m on hour 39 of a fast trying to activate intestinal stem cells and heal my gut. Thanks Dr. Berg. And to whomever does the creative pictures of our insides....those are great

Thankyou doctor!! So good to be educated, the body is like a car...it needs to be treated with care.
Knowledge is power. Much appreciated 😊

The way God created the body is perfect! Psalm 139 described this perfectly.

Psalms 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Amazing!!! Highly appreciate all of your outstanding efforts. Thanks a lot for educating.

Dra. Rhonda Patrick cited several studies that showed that the problem of the ACE2 receptors are not the quantity, but the imbalance. This equilibrium is regulated by the vitamin D hormone.
