Hey man...do you mind if I PM you?
The whole idea of "good" bacteria probably should be discarded
if they get into other parts of the body (like the lymphatic system), they can certainly be dangerous. Sort of like a caged tiger. When contained, it doesn't pose much of a threat, but if it escapes.........
There's no such thing as healthy innate immunity without good gut bacteria. Research immunity + microbiome.
Sure there is. This is witnessed by the fact that animals with sterile guts are very hard to kill, both with diseases and trauma.
Have fun consuming your regular dose of antibiotics, then. Or better yet, why don't you just wipe out your entire microbiome?What's wrong with that title "All Gut Bacteria Dangerous, It's Endotoxin Drives Liver Cancer; Antibiotics Cure?" All gut bacteria can be dangerous. Your little laughing emoji does nothing to refute that fact. Haidut even gives an example in the thread of how. He's posted other threads showing how so called "good" bacterial strains can be very detrimental to health-
Obviously. No one's arguing that there's no such thing as SIBO and that endotoxin isn't bad.But if they overgrow (because of low body temp or too much iron or whatever), or if they get into other parts of the body (like the lymphatic system), they can certainly be dangerous.

+1That's one of the points. A healthy microbiome maintains the mucosal lining that prevents intestinal permeability.
And I could post some threads showing how "good" bacterial strains can be very BENEFICIAL to health.He's posted other threads showing how so called "good" bacterial strains can be very detrimental to health
There is something odd with your posts, @DANIΣL. I get an error message every time I try and quote something from you.
Your observations are based on mainstream perversions of what immunity constitutes. What does immunity constitute? Inflammatory response, no thanks, antibodies? I'll pass. If your body is reacting in that way you've already bypassed several safety systems. Truly healthy immune function may be observed in a child. Very little inflammatory response due to high metabolic rate. High thyroid, high protective sterol production, high state of respiration.There's no such thing as healthy innate immunity without good gut bacteria. Research immunity + microbiome.
Perhaps. Defining a 'healthy' microbiome may be problematic though. Microbiota will vary immensley depending on environment, food choices, stress to name but a few potential factors.That's one of the points. A healthy microbiome maintains the mucosal lining that prevents intestinal permeability.
I'm not laughing at people who have seen benefits from antibiotics. I was laughing at the notion that "All Gut Bacteria Is Dangerous"There is something odd with your posts, @DANIΣL. I get an error message every time I try and quote something from you.
I have seen positive results from Antibiotics, personally. And also Activated Charcoal. And zero results from Probiotics. I don't know why you would laugh at people who have seen benefits from antibiotics, they are probably one of the more useful classes of drugs out there.
Of course, having said that, Antibiotics are also dangerous. Peat and Haidut both mention the dangers, and even when talking about how a sterile gut can be beneficial.
All gut bacteria is dangerous, and Haidut gave examples of how and why. There are lots of dangerous things that can be beneficial. Take guns and cars. Both are dangerous. But cars are incredibly useful as transportation. And a gun can defend your property and your life. But it's still dangerous.
It's ridiculous to think that gut bacteria isn't dangerous. If you actually READ the threads Haidut posted, it's very clear he isn't one sided, and neither is Peat. As an example-
Probiotics- Better Off Dead. (And More Effective!)
One of the ideas of Ray Peat's that seems to run counter to both the mainstream and alternative health world is that bacteria in the GI tract is NOT beneficial, in general. Peat has said that there are some strains of bacteria that are less harmful than others, and even can produce some...raypeatforum.com
You clearly didn't even read MY words. I didn't say it was one sided. Go back and read what I actually wrote. And also, go and read what Haidut actually wrote.
If you're actually open to a different perspective, then you can do some research and easily find out about the importance of the microbiome.None of the links you posted in the last post are "studies." They appear to be writeups. Have you read them all? Did you know that Takeda et al. was just a letter to the editor?
You say you CAN post threads on how some bacterial strains are "good" for health. Well...... then why don't you do it? That's where there can be more productive debate, rather than just calling someone else's work "ridiculous."
being germ free is impossible. It seems logical to me that if having some bacteria in the colon is unavoidable, then the bacteria which are present should at least confer something beneficial to the host. Whether this is a symbiotic relationship which has been developed with the bacteria or in spite of them is open for debate. Are the bacteria producing beneficial substances (b vits, vit k2, short chain fatty acids) for our use or for their own selfish reasons and we just happen to get some benefit? Tough one to call.
Agreed. It's impossible to define a healthy microbiome.Defining a 'healthy' microbiome may be problematic though. Microbiota will vary immensley depending on environment, food choices, stress to name but a few potential factors.

I am troubleshooting it.This is the error msg I get when I respond to Daniel with a quote:
That's fair. I'm attempting to draw conclusions from a young persons response versus an aged adults response, which I think from a health perspective is reasonable.I think you're making some big assumptions. If the innate immune system is working at optimal capacity you won't always notice an inflammatory response. It's happening, you're just not aware of it because your system is responding quickly and effectively.
But I'd also argue, based on the above, you are making those same assumptions I'm guilty of.There's no such thing as healthy innate immunity without good gut bacteria. Research immunity + microbiome.
