They don't need sulfate at all.
Joanne KennedyHOST
8:31
Instead, they break down the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine, which they get from protein, This group includes Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Proteus species, E. coli, Clostridium species, and Enterobacter species.
Joanne KennedyHOST
8:47
Now, that's not an exhaustive list.
Joanne KennedyHOST
8:51
Researchers keep identifying more species capable of doing this, but those are the common ones flagged on a comprehensive digestive stool analysis through a functional lab.
Jane LevesqueHOST
18:44
They're in the green, but they're not below detection limit.
Jane LevesqueHOST
18:48
Some of the autoimmune trigger markers, uh, whether that's Klebsiella or Proteus or Fusobacterium species like this person has, I want it at ze- like I do not want any in the system.
Jane LevesqueHOST
19:01
They're very highly associated with developing autoimmune disease.
Jane LevesqueHOST
19:04
Um, I don't wanna see any, uh, Candida, and he doesn't have any, and definitely no bacterial pathogens or H. pylori, and again, those things are all clear, which is great.
Priyanka WaliHOST
17:15
Struvites are made of magnesium ammonium phosphate.
Priyanka WaliHOST
17:19
And there's certain bacteria called Proteus species, for example.
Priyanka WaliHOST
17:23
They can form urinary tract infections, and if those UTIs get really gnarly, they can quickly grow these struvite stones, which if they're not treated, can become extremely large and usually require surgery to remove.
Hari KondaboluHOST
17:38
Wow.

Most infections start in the lower urinary tract and travel upward through the ureters.
speaker_0HOST
0:41
E. coli is the most common organism, but other organisms include Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterococcus, and other Enterobacterioles.
speaker_0HOST
0:49
Candida can also cause urinary infection, especially in patients with diabetes, prolonged antibiotic exposure, hospitalization, or urinary catheters.
speaker_0HOST
0:58
The important distinction is between a localized urinary infection and a complicated UTI.
William DavisHOST
6:33
And what that means... is if you have a disrupted gastrointestinal microbiome, specifically an overproliferation of what are called gram-negative proteobacteria.
William DavisHOST
6:44
These are fecal microbes like E. coli, Klebsiella, Campylobacter, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Serratia.
William DavisHOST
6:54
These are microbes that tend to become overproliferated in the colon because of our exposure, overexposure, antibiotics and other factors like glyphosate and other herbicides.
William DavisHOST
7:04
So there's an expansion of these proteobacteria in the colon, and frighteningly, in an amazing proportion of people, about half the U.S. population, these fecal proteobacteria microbes have been allowed to ascend into the small intestine, the 24 feet of small intestine.
Tricia QuahGUEST
10:25
And what it does is that, uh, it contains, uh, killed off or inactivated, uh, bacteria.
Tricia QuahGUEST
10:31
So the usual bacteria that cause the infections are, for example, the E. coli bacteria, Proteus, Klebsiella, Enterococcus.
Tricia QuahGUEST
10:37
So this vaccine contains inactivated bacteria where it is sprayed into someone's mouth.
Tricia QuahGUEST
10:43
It trains the immune cells in the mouth and the gut to produce antibodies-
Cassie SmithGUEST
23:35
Let's just see what's going on." Lo and behold, my gut was the typical Hashimoto's gut.
Cassie SmithGUEST
23:39
Meaning I had bacterial overgrowth of Klebsiella and Proteus and all the bacteria we see in people with Hashimoto's.
Cassie SmithGUEST
23:45
And he explained to me how those bacteria actually further attack your thyroid and they down-regulate the hormones that, like estrogen and progesterone.
Cassie SmithGUEST
23:54
And he just-- he explained to me exactly what was going on in my gut and how he knew different bacteria do different things in your gut, and then how that affects the production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Cassie SmithGUEST
31:03
That's what they eat.
Cassie SmithGUEST
31:04
They eat all the sugar and all the big unprocessed food.
Cassie SmithGUEST
31:07
So the bad bacteria, the Proteus and the Klebsiella, the ones that I mentioned that actually cause disease, they go crazy.
Cassie SmithGUEST
31:13
They love eating that food in your small intestine that couldn't be digested in your stomach because you didn't chew your food, you didn't sit down when you ate, you were chronically stressed, you're on a medication, you didn't get enough sleep, all these things.
