Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 There was something in the Sun Sentinel tonight about the body's 100 trillion microbes counted in scientific census. After 5 years of toil, several hundred US researches have released a census of the myriad bacteria, yeasts, viruses and amoebas that live, eat, excrfete, reproduce and die in or on us. Just what we wanted to hear, right?  They described the various orifices of the body and the skin and " guts " of 242 adults in tip-top health. They called it a zoo of life. This count of 100 trillion microscopic life forms is 10 times higher than the number of cells in the human body. There are about 10,000 different types that make our bodies home.  They are looking about how subtle disturbances in the microbiome could be linked to medical disorders. They think that the microbes may have something to do with how our bodies work and now they are looking at what healthy microbiome looks like, and trying to use it to compare with microsopic life inside those who are sick to see if changes in their microbial life could be contributing to their illnesses. These include 10,000 types of bacteria, such as staphlococcus aureus in the body.  I heard years ago tht even cancer cells were in our bodies and dormant until something set them off. There was something the other day that says sometimes the body itself kills cancer without outside help. That aticle was about the bad effects of radiation and I think it was a Dr. mercol or somthing like that. He has said a lot about food and health issues.  makes me feel that nothing is safe. Can get negative feelings from that at imes.  Carolyn Wilkerson  ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 10:45 PM Subject: Re: More bad news about seafood...  I'm happy I don't eat shellfish in any form.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 We may be killing the microbes on our skin by our soap.  I use Dial. But people who get bitten by mosquitoes may have too many microbes. I was thinking you said you get bitten too. Well might have to wash less or change soap. LOL.  This pays you back for telling me all the horrible things in food, like GMO, radiation in tuna, problems wit non organic food, produce from out of country, Monsanto, etc, etc. Now you see how I feel.  had to have someone to commiserate with. I think i better call my doctor and get an antibiotic before the weekend.  Carolyn Wilkerson  ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Friday, June 15, 2012 9:18 AM Subject: Re: More bad news about seafood...  Carolyn: Just what I didn't want to hear.
