The Benefits of a Healthy Microbiome

Updated May 8th 2025

This is basically an addendum to my previous post…

That was quite an in-depth post. I myself had to re-read it a number of times, including the references to gather it all in. And I’m the author! It’s an easy read, but it’s an awful lot of information. I broke it down basically into 4 parts…

1st - Presented the evidence of spike persistence in the gut. Whether from the virus, vaccines, or now even from the meat we eat.

2nd - A look at the GI Tract and how gut health is intrinsically tied to immunity. And how the spike can cause havoc down there. (dysbiosis and reduced intestinal wall integrity)

3rd - How we can improve gut health safely with a better diet, additional nutrients, digestive enzymes and pre and probiotics.

Lastly - Decreasing the burden on our gut and improving overall health by detoxing. How this can be done safely and easily with distilled water, sulfur compounds and an amazing natural mineral, called Zeolite Clinoptilolite.

This was such a huge post, I decided not to add more info to it. Although, I really wanted to keep all the information on this subject, in one place. Which I feel I did fairly well. This addendum, basically stresses the importance of our gut health in this day and age, with a fairly recent study (not even peer reviewed yet) and others,.. showing how important our commensal, good bacteria are for our wellbeing.

World renowned microbiome researcher Dr. Sabine Hazan, who I referenced many times in my original post on gut health, has mentioned….

“… More severe cases are the ones who have no Bifidobacterium — people who have cancer, are obese, have autoimmune diseases, [or] a chronic C. diff infection. Some neurological patients have no Bifidobacterium. Also older adults, because the process of aging includes loss of Bifidobacterium — you are born with a lot of Bifidobacterium and you die with none.” Q&A: Healthy gut microbiome starts with the ‘right nutrition,’ bacterial diversity (Dec. 2022)

This has been more or less confirmed with patients in hospital ICU’s…

“Broad-spectrum antibiotics and disease severity may be associated with gut dysbiosis in the ICU. A progression of dysbiosis occurring in the gut of ICU patients might be associated with mortality.” Gut Dysbiosis Associated with Disease Severity and Its Relation to Mortality in Critically Ill Patients | Digestive Diseases and Sciences (Japan 2021)

“Dysbiosis refers to the changes in the microbiome associated with disease and is characterized by loss of diversity, overgrowth with pathogens, or loss of commensals. All of these changes are evident during critical illness.” Critical illness and the gut microbiome | Intensive Care Medicine (Canada 2024)

“Kefir administration can improve gut health in critically ill patients.” Safety, feasibility, and impact on the gut microbiome of kefir administration in critically ill adults (USA 2024)

So as you can see, illness, age, and obesity all effect the microbiome negatively. And if that wasn’t enough, it is well documented, the spike protein targets, and persists in the gut. And with it being endemic in our every day lives, gut health just became that much more important.

And as shown in that last study, probiotics, in this case kefir, can improve your microbiome even if you are critically ill.

There are recent news articles of a study, (waiting for peer-review) involving a lady who lived to be 117 years old. Her secret? Her signature three yogurts per day.

“The team found that Morera had a higher microbiome diversity than the control female population… due to the elevated amount of bifidobacteriaceae, particularly Bifidobacterium – a finding they say contrasts sharply with the typical decline of this bacterial genus in older individuals.” Gut microbiome of world's oldest woman may reveal secrets to longevity (March 2025)

“The research study analyzed Morea's genes, microbiome, and the lifestyle she lived to draw their conclusions, and they found that it was her gut health that resembled a child's.” Gut health study of world’s oldest person reveals lifestyle secret to longevity (April 2025)

Now I know many might not be concerned in living that long, at this time. But the point I’m making is how our commensal bacteria can be very beneficial to us. And living a long, productive life, in fairly good health, illustrates this point very well. Who eats yogurt 3 times a day?

Normally, once you turn 70, your immunity drops off a cliff. There is a steep decline in immune function around that age. So for her never to develop cancer, or Alzheimer’s or some other prevalent, age-related disease, says something about gut health. Yeah, she had arthritis, and a few minor ailments. But you’re not gonna live that long without any decline in health.

Update: I know one case study is hardly strong evidence for the benefits of having a healthy microbiome. But this study, is not a one off. And I should have posted this additional evidence from the get go. For that I apologize. Here are more studies involving 100’s of centenarians. All showing a common denominator in having the gut health of those much younger. This has to be a huge reason for their health and longevity, considering how normal it is to lose your good gut microbes with age and illness…

“The gut microbiota has been proposed as an important determinant of human health. Modulation of the gut microbiota is a rapidly emerging field of study and holds promise for impacting longevity and healthy aging…. We found that the taxonomic [variant] composition in gut microbiota in the young and elderly is not statistically different. These findings are consistent with those of a study that indicates the gut microbiota of healthy aged Chinese are similar to those of the healthy young. A distinctive gut microbiota structure in centenarians has also been demonstrated in previous studies from Guangxi, China; Emilia Romagna, Italy; and Manipur, India…. We also observed several gut microbiota traits that may affect the health of centenarians. The enrichment of reported probiotics such as Bifidobacterium was detected in the centenarians.” A Cross-Sectional Study of Compositional and Functional Profiles of Gut Microbiota in Sardinian Centenarians (Italy 2019)

“Centenarians, those aged 100 years or older, are considered the most successful biological aging model in humans. This population is commonly characterized by a low prevalence of chronic diseases, with favorable maintenance of functionality and independence, thus determining a health phenotype of successful aging. There are many factors usually associated with extreme longevity: genetics, lifestyles, diet, among others. However, it is most likely a multifactorial condition where protective factors contribute individually to some extent. The gut microbiota has emerged as a potential factor associated with the establishment of a favorable health phenotype that allows for extreme longevity....” Gut microbiota in centenarians: A potential metabolic and aging regulator in the study of extreme longevity (Colombia 2024)

“The study recruited 160 centenarians from across Japan who had racked up an average age of 107 years, and compared the bacterial communities found in their fecal samples to the gut bugs of another 112 elderly people in their late 80s, and also to those of 47 younger folks…. While some of the centenarians in this new Japanese study showed typical signs of aging, such as low-level inflammation, "the majority of centenarians were free of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer," the researchers write in their paper (Japan 2021).” What's The Secret to Centenarians' Long Lives? The Answer Might Be in Their Guts : ScienceAlert

Just to recap a few highlights from … Gut Health is So Important these Days

• Estimates of up to 85% of your immune cells reside in your gut lining.

• Strong connections exists between the gut and liver, lung and brain function.

• Bifido can reduce mortality and hospital stays in COVID-19 patients.

• Prebiotics stimulate immune systems and protect against carcinogenesis and inflammation.

• Excellent detoxifying substance with anti-cancer properties, Zeolite Clinoptilolite can bind to virus particles including SARS-CoV-2 and reduce inflammation.

Please give this article another look see. Toxic spike proteins have painted a bull's-eye on our gut and microbiome. Keeping your gut happy and healthy, goes a long way in improving your overall immune function and general wellbeing.

Stay safe and be well….
