What is your microbiome?
Your microbiome is an incredibly complex and sophisticated system of trillions of micro-organisms living within you and around you. It is your front-line defense mechanism against anything harmful that comes your way. A well functioning microbiome form a sheath-like protective guard between you and your environment.This sheath is around you, and continues inside of you into your mouth, digestive tract, heart, urogenital, and other areas of your body. When your microbiome is compromised, due to many factors, it begins to malfunction, causing your immune system to become sluggish, or break down entirely.
HOW has your microbiome been compromised?
Most people's microbiomes, these days, have become compromised due to many physical and environmental factors. The worst of these is, by far, glyphosate...otherwise known as 'round up' (used in food production to kill off weeds or crops). The slow and steady intake of glyphosate in the foods we have eaten for at least a generation has severely damaged our microbiomes by killing of necessary 'good' bacteria and micro-organisms, causing our bodies to become ineffective in fighting off harm.
Also, in the destruction of your microbiome, through the glyphosate in your food, your cellular function severely diminishes. The mechanism that attaches one cell to another, called 'tight-junctions', are degraded, causing a malfunctioning in your sophisticated electrical system. Electrical signals, which would normally flow through your body via your 'tight-junctions' between your cells (forming the sheath that is a combined cellular mechanism), are unable to fire throughout your body, causing sickness and disease.
The science behind the malfunctioning microbiome is complex. Volumes could be written on the intricate processes that take place within this system, and thorough research is necessary to fully understand what is going on in your body. We have included the work of Zach Bush, MD as part of our information, and suggest reading up on, and listening to him on this topic, as he is an authority on the subject.
