human?

With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways

Our Human cells are outnumbered!

10:1

With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways

More than all the humans that ever lived.

100 Trillion

Microbes!

So, who is in charge here anyway?

Microbes 9,000,000 genes

Human 22,000 genes

Genes impact our health in a major way!

Your microbiome

is a wonderfully

rich and diverse

ecosystem that is

essential for all

life, much like our

own planet Earth.

It’s a Jungle in there!

Explosion of Research

A healthy diverse microbiome:

● Protects us against pathogens● Trains our immune system ● Essential for healthy digestion● Determines whether we are fat or lean● Enhances brain function and mood ● Reduces the tendency to form kidney

stones ● Keeps your skin radiant

Antibiotics: A man made catastrophe

The more we consume antibiotics, the sicker we

get as we lose diversity in our microbial ecology.

● The main usage, over 80%, is in the meat industry - to

check infection and and accelerate growth of animals.

● Manure and human waste that is used as fertilizer

infects our vegetable crops.

● Our streams and rivers contain high levels of

pharmaceuticals including antibiotics.

By administering a fecal microbiota

transplant; Clostridium Difficile (a painful

and deadly digestive bug plaguing

hospitals) has been cured in 94% of

patients, compared to 31% from

pharmaceutical treatments.

Microbe Transplants are curing sick people

Microbes

• Train the Immune system from

birth.

• Stop over or under reactions.

• Build tolerance in the peace

keeping arm of immune system.

Immune

System

With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways

Strengthen your Immune

System by building a

healthy Microbiome

throughout life.

● Eat a varied and nutritious diet

● Restore the population of

microbes using BodyTalk.

● Reduce the use of Antibiotics.

Digestion

Microbes:

• Generate nutrients and calories

• Improve absorption of nutrients

• Tune Acidity so enzymes work

• Synthesize essential nutrients

• Regulate gut hormones
