More than all the humans that ever lived.
100 Trillion
Microbes!
With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways
So, who is in charge here anyway?
Microbes 9,000,000 genes
Human 22,000 genes
Genes impact our health in a major way!
With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways
Your microbiome
is a wonderfully
rich and diverse
ecosystem that is
essential for all
life, much like our
own planet Earth.
It’s a Jungle in there!

Explosion of Research
A healthy diverse microbiome:
● Protects us against pathogens● Trains our immune system ● Essential for healthy digestion● Determines whether we are fat or lean● Enhances brain function and mood ● Reduces the tendency to form kidney
stones ● Keeps your skin radiant

Antibiotics: A man made catastrophe
The more we consume antibiotics, the sicker we
get as we lose diversity in our microbial ecology.
● The main usage, over 80%, is in the meat industry - to
check infection and and accelerate growth of animals.
● Manure and human waste that is used as fertilizer
infects our vegetable crops.
● Our streams and rivers contain high levels of
pharmaceuticals including antibiotics.

By administering a fecal microbiota
transplant; Clostridium Difficile (a painful
and deadly digestive bug plaguing
hospitals) has been cured in 94% of
patients, compared to 31% from
pharmaceutical treatments.
Microbe Transplants are curing sick people

Microbes
• Train the Immune system from
birth.
• Stop over or under reactions.
• Build tolerance in the peace
keeping arm of immune system.
Immune
System
With Mika Davies CBPSoulful Pathways
Strengthen your Immune
System by building a
healthy Microbiome
● Encourage vaginal deliveries
● Create exposure to microbes
throughout life.
● Eat a varied and nutritious diet
● Restore the population of
microbes using BodyTalk.
● Reduce the use of Antibiotics.

Digestion
Microbes:
• Generate nutrients and calories
• Improve absorption of nutrients
• Tune Acidity so enzymes work
• Synthesize essential nutrients
• Regulate gut hormones

Brain
functionMicrobes
• Talk to immune cells, epithelial cells,
endocrines and nerves.
• Information gets passed to our brain.
• Affect our emotions and brain function
