so i want to talk about the relationship between  

the friendly bacteria you have in your gut and  around your body as well as the friendly fungus  

and so i want to talk about this relationship  because people think that your microbiome  

all your microbes are just primarily bacteria  when you have a lot of different species going  

on you have viruses you have different types of  funguses like yeast and so they’re all supposed  

to live together in harmony but anytime you  learn a new topic it’s very important to define  

the words within that topic to really understand  the definitions of these basic words so let me  

go through a few things and so all the bacteria  in your gut the friendly bacteria is called the  

microbiome and all the friendly fungus is called  the mycobiome one of the challenges with studying  

fungus and which by the way it’s not  very studied because it’s very hard to  

culture fungus and so the friendly bacteria  and the friendly fungus remain friendly until  

the environment changes they have the potential to  become pathogenic so they can actually morph into  

pathogenic strains and create a lot of problems  in center bodies now the three new words i’m  

going to define and this basically relates to the  relationship that you have with these microbes  

you have mutualism which you have two organisms  two different species that are benefiting from  

each other right they’re exchanging with each  other and so we give our microbes a place to  

stay we give them space and they give us immune  protection they give us vitamins they give us a  

lot of other things so that’s called mutualism  then you have something called commensalism  

okay that’s where one species benefits while  the other one neither benefits nor is harmful  

so that would be maybe someone that lives  with you that doesn’t necessarily take up too  

much space they’re not paying for rent they’re not  doing much to help you but they’re also not doing  

anything to harm you as well so that’s called  commensalism then we have another relationship  

called parasitism okay this is where you have  someone that takes but doesn’t give back but also  

creates some destruction or harm so for example  if you get a parasite in your gut they’re gonna  

rub all your nutrition they don’t protect your  immune system they just deplete you of nutrients  

and they create other problems and that could be  someone that comes to your house and actually rips  

you off or steals something they take something  but they don’t give you anything back and so in  

our bodies we have these different relationships  with microbes that can either help us do nothing  

or harm us just like we have in life right but  the main point i want to bring up about this video  

because people think that all funguses are bad  what are some benefits that the fungus gives us  

well it just so happens when you  get treated with an antibiotic  

you end up getting a fungal infection like  candida but when you get treated with an  

anti-fungal infections and it kills off all the  fungus you end up getting a bacterial infection  

so that bacteria becomes pathogenic one bacterial  infection would be e coli for example see normally  

we’re supposed to have a certain amount  of key coli that lives in our body that is  

not unfriendly until the environment changes  and so one big function that the fungus has  

is to keep the bacteria in check so  you don’t actually have these fungus  

turning to the dark side becoming pathogenic  or overgrowing in large amounts same thing with  

viruses you have viruses in your gut that actually  keep the bacteria in check and also the bacteria  

keep the fungus in check so they all work together  and so the really important thing we need to learn  

from this is that anytime you use an antibiotic  or an antifungal or anything that destroys the  

microorganisms living in our body it comes with  a package you start getting unfriendly bacteria  

unfriendly fungus unfriendly parasites and so  it’s very very important to recognize the function  

of these microbes and take care of them now  if you have a candida infection or you have a  

fungus growing in your toenails or whatever  there’s various things that you can do  

instead of taking an anti-fungal which  has side effects there’s things that you  

can take that have no side effects but they  can definitely help control the pathogenic  

fungus as well as the pathogenic bacteria and  the number one thing that will do that would be  

oregano oil now you can take that as a supplement  or you can actually even take the oil and put into  

it like a neti pot and infuse it into the sinuses  if there’s a fungus infection in your sinuses  

another really interesting natural anti-fungal  would be gemnema which normally is a plant  

that helps diabetes in fact if you ever take  gemnema as a herb and you chew on it it’ll  

actually block the taste of sweet so if you’re  consuming anything with sugar you won’t be able  

to taste that sugar so i’ve done videos on that  before so oregano oil is really really powerful  

gemnema is a really good one as well as taking a  friendly fungus and there’s two that i recommend  

saccharomyces cervicia is one of them and the  other one is saccharomyces bilardi both of these  

are friendly yeast and they’re even added to  certain probiotics and i put a link down below  

if you want more information about that anyway i  think this is an important topic the relationship  

between bacteria and fungus and the importance of  keeping them in check so they don’t turn on you  

and become pathogenic hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here  

avoiding your environment but what about here  what about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
