BACTERIAL IMABLANCE AND
ITS SIDE-EFFECTS

We destroyed unoverseeable plains of nutritious soil by sealing it off with concrete. Square kilometers of roads and buildings, windwheels, solar panels etc. of all kind leaving little space for bacterial life to thrive and with it harming the diversity of plant growth.

 

 

 

The Germ Theory does not do any good, sorry to have to say that!

 

Modern lifestyles have significantly altered the composition of our microbiomes compared to those of our ancestors.
Several key groups of bacteria have become less prevalent due to factors like diet, widespread antibiotic use, urbanization, reduced exposure to natural environments, and increased hygiene.
 

Especially the propaganda around COVID-19 brought incredible harm to us and censorship does its undeniable bit. Don't ask me how many multiresistant microbes we created during the last 3 years.

In the following you find a brief breakdown of the main bacterial groups that are commonly missing or reduced:

 

As far as the horizon allows us to see
the soil is sealed off by concrete. 


HOW TO RESTORE & SUPPORT THE BACTERIA SO ESSENTIAL FOR OUR WELL-BEING

 

1. Eat a Fiber-Rich Diet: Include whole foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains to support fiber-loving bacteria.  

2. Consume Fermented Foods: Incorporate yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and other fermented products into your diet.  

3. Avoid Unnecessary Antibiotics: Use antibiotics only when prescribed and finish the full course.  

4. Spend Time in Nature: Increase exposure to diverse environmental microbes through gardening, hiking, and other outdoor activities.  

5. Probiotics and Prebiotics: Take probiotic supplements or foods to introduce beneficial bacteria and prebiotics to feed them.  

6. Breastfeeding: When possible, breastfeeding supports the transfer of beneficial bacteria to infants.

 

Just make some lifestyle changes, like adding Biestmilch to your daily diet. You can step by step re-establish your beneficial bacteria and improve your overall health. It may for some of you be a big and tough challenge, but it is definitely worthwhile to take the effort.

 

1. Bacteria Associated with Fiber-Rich Diets

Examples:  

  • Bifidobacterium species  

  • Prevotella 

  • Roseburia 

  • Faecalibacterium prausnitzii 

Why They Are Missing  

• Low-fiber diets, typical of modern processed foods, reduce the abundance of bacteria that rely on dietary fiber and resistant starch for survival.  
• Traditional diets, rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, fostered these bacteria. Their absence is linked to inflammation and metabolic disorders.


2. Bacteria Reduced by Antibiotic Use

Examples:  

  • Lactobacillus  

  • Clostridium leptum 

  • Akkermansia muciniphila 


Why They Are Missing

•  Widespread use of antibiotics can indiscriminately kill beneficial bacteria, leading to long-term reductions in microbiome diversity.  

•  Overuse in healthcare and agriculture contributes to this decline.

 

3. Environmental and Soil-Associated Bacteria


Examples

  • Mycobacterium vaccae 

  • Nitrosomonas eutropha

  • Pseudomonas species  

Why They Are Missing 

• Reduced exposure to natural environments (soil, animals, and plants) due to urban living and sterilized indoor settings limits contact with beneficial environmental microbes.  

• These bacteria are thought to play roles in immune regulation and protecting against allergies and autoimmune diseases.

 

4. Bacteria Linked to Fermented Foods

 

Examples:  

  • Lactobacillus  

  • Leuconostoc 

  • Pediococcus

Why They Are Missing

• Decline in the consumption of traditional fermented foods (e.g., sauerkraut, kimchi, and natural yogurts) has reduced exposure to these beneficial bacteria.  
• Modern food processing often eliminates these live bacteria through pasteurization and sterilization.

5. Vaginal Microbiome Changes

 

Examples: 

  • Lactobacillus crispatus 

  • Lactobacillus jensenii

Why They Are Missing  

• Factors like antibiotic use, hormonal contraceptives, cesarean deliveries, and a lack of breastfeeding disrupt the vaginal microbiome, leading to reduced levels of these protective bacteria.  
• These bacteria are essential for maintaining an acidic environment that prevents infections.
 

6. Rare and Keystone Gut Bacteria

 

Examples:  

  • Christensenella minuta  

  • Akkermansia muciniphila 

  • Faecalibacterium prausnitzii  

Why They Are Missing  

• These bacteria play critical roles in gut health but are highly sensitive to disruptions caused by diet, antibiotics, and other lifestyle factors.  
• They are associated with leanness, metabolic health, and anti-inflammatory effects.

7. Bacteria Associated with Breastfeeding

 

Examples:  

  • Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis 

Why They Are Missing

 

  • Reduced rates of breastfeeding and changes in infant formula composition have led to a decline in bacteria specifically adapted to metabolize human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).  

  • These bacteria are vital for infant gut development and immune priming.

 

Impact of Missing Bacteria

The loss of these bacteria is associated with a range of health issues, including:  

  • Increased rates of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases.  

  • Greater prevalence of allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders.  

  • Reduced resilience to infections and slower recovery from illness.

HOW MANY BACTERIA ARE APPROXMATELY DISCOVERED BY TODAY

 

Determining the exact number of bacterial species discovered to date is challenging due to the dynamic nature of microbial taxonomy and ongoing research. However, several estimates provide insight into the scope of bacterial diversity:

 

Described Species: As of August 2023, 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project includes over 10,950 validly published bacterial and archaeal species in its aligned dataset. 

 

Estimated Total Species: A 2019 study published in *PLOS Biology* estimated the existence of approximately 0.8 to 1.6 million prokaryotic operational taxonomic units (OTUs) globally. 

 

Microbial Diversity: The National Science Foundation reported that Earth may harbor up to one trillion microbial species, with 99.999% yet to be discovered. 

 

These figures highlight the vast diversity of bacteria, with only a fraction currently identified and described. Advancements in sequencing technologies and microbial cultivation continue to expand our understanding of bacterial diversity. 

DON'T BE SCARED OF BACTERIA

 

They belong to our lives, the talk with us, they make up for our organsim.
As already mentioned the ratio body cells to bacteria is round about 1:1
The old paradigm of them being so dangerous should be disarded.
We have an immune system for this reason. It takes care of our well-bing.

 

OUR MOTTO FOR WELL-BEING SHOULD BE:
EXPOSURE AND INTERACTION NOT PROTECTION

Impact of Missing Bacteria

The loss of these bacteria is associated with a range of health issues, including:  

 

  • Increased rates of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases.  

 

  • Greater prevalence of allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders.  

 

  • Reduced resilience to infections and slower recovery from illness.

HOW MANY BACTERIA ARE ESTMATED TO INHABIT OR EARTH?

 

The number of bacteria estimated to inhabit Earth is incredibly large:

 

Estimate of Bacterial Population on Earth
Total Number: Approximately 5 x 10³⁰ bacterial cells.

 

This figure comes from studies of global biomass and microbial ecology. Bacteria are found in nearly every environment on Earth, from deep-sea vents to the upper atmosphere.

 

DISTRIBULTION OF BACTERIA

 

Soil: A major habitat for bacteria, with billions of cells per gram.

Oceans: Bacteria constitute a significant portion of marine biomass.

Human Bodies: The human microbiome contains around 39 trillion bacterial cells, roughly matching or slightly exceeding the number of human cells.

 

BACTERIA PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN OUR LIVES:

 

Nutrient Cycling: Decomposing organic material and fixing nitrogen.

Symbiosis: Supporting plant growth and animal health.

Biogeochemical Processes: Affecting the carbon and sulfur cycles.

 

These estimates illustrate the vast microbial world that remains largely unexplored. Despite cataloging fewer than 1% of bacterial species, bacteria dominate the planet’s biomass and biological activity.
