Forgotten is the basic but complex systems we take for granted. One huge catch. If one does not eat properly how can that person perceive the signals of what the body needs? Since 1998 my body lets me know what it needs. It becomes a symbiotic relationship. Opposite is true.

Works for the mind to…

Now I ask how do I avoid RF and electromagnetic smog? I have a meter and I tell you as a matter of fact, remote places. A good thing if you crave not being around stuptored umans.

That is a beautiful post. That interconnectedness put me in mind of Merlin Sheldrake's book, The Entangled Life, where fungi connect and communicate throughout the earth.

Thanks Norman. This is beautiful!

I recall back in 2009 (I think) one of the pioneer scientific explorers of cell-to-cell bacterial communication is Princeton University microbiologist Bonnie Bassler. She stated there are 1 trillion cells in the human body, living alongside 10 trillion bacteria. These teeming masses of unicellular workers make vitamins, power the digestive tract, and bolster the immune system.

Understanding the “private language” of a bacterial species is important, she said, since quorum sensing controls pathogenesis. Bacteria need siblings in order to act in concert, mustering enough power to cause harm.

this is interesting There is evidence suggesting that some bacteria can communicate more extensively or effectively than others through quorum sensing. Here's a concise overview:

Complexity of signaling systems:

Some bacteria have multiple quorum sensing systems, allowing for more sophisticated communication. For example, Vibrio harveyi has three parallel quorum sensing systems.

Range of signal molecules:

Certain bacteria produce and respond to a wider variety of autoinducers, enabling more diverse communication. Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses multiple signaling molecules, including acyl-homoserine lactones and quinolones.

Interspecies communication:

Some bacteria can engage in interspecies quorum sensing, communicating with different bacterial species. Autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is considered a "universal" signal used by many species.

Signal amplification:

Certain bacteria have mechanisms to amplify quorum sensing signals, allowing for more effective communication over longer distances.

Environmental adaptations:

Some bacteria have evolved quorum sensing systems adapted to specific environments, potentially enhancing their communication abilities in those niches.

These factors contribute to variations in communication capabilities among different bacterial species.

So amazing ! VERY interesting.

Breaking the code of bacterial languages may one day yield an alternative to traditional antibiotics. If a successful infection requires masses of bacteria acting in concert, finding a novel way to impede this “quorum sensing” can interrupt infections before they get dangerous. Not to mention other so called diseases placed upon humanity.

I have not followed up on any of this in years.

The beauty of this shows us who we really are :-)

antibiotics are for an EMF environment due to bacterial imbalances because it messes with their communication and why they go out of balance i have a theory that the bacteria under ELF RFR stress produce ketones and this helps oxidative stress and also feeds other bacteria so they can keep up with the replication and waste remediation and therefore use more minerals like magnesium/ Ill send you the article when i have finished .

Excellent theory. In addition, through my brain research over the years with the BBB ( blood brain barrier) there is a distinct correlation with brain function with all this as you are aware of the brain gut connection.

Ketones, particularly beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), do have some interesting interactions with the blood-brain barrier:

BBB permeability: Ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than glucose. This is particularly important during periods of fasting or when following a ketogenic diet.

Neuroprotection: Some research suggests that ketones may offer a degree of protection to the BBB. They appear to help maintain the integrity of the barrier and reduce inflammation.

Energy source: When glucose availability is low, the brain can use ketones as an alternative energy source. This ability to cross the BBB allows ketones to provide crucial energy to brain cells.

Oxidative stress reduction: Ketones may help reduce oxidative stress in the brain, which can contribute to maintaining BBB health.

Potential therapeutic applications: Due to these properties, ketones are being studied for their potential in treating various neurological conditions, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and traumatic brain injury.

Yes. Thanks.

I am not certain if the ketones play a part in the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) . Will look into it :-)

The blood–central nervous system (CNS) barriers are tight and protect the brain parenchyma from insults, including those of infectious origin. This barrier function is due to the presence of tight junctions between the endothelial cells of the brain. The formation of these junctions is the consequence of interactions inside the neurovascular unit.

There are two blood–CNS barriers that can potentially be circumvented by bacterial pathogens: the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). The BCSFB corresponds to the choroid plexuses and the microvessels of the leptomeninges.

Bacteria can invade the meninges from the bloodstream through the choroid plexuses or directly through the microvessels of the leptomeninges and/or the brain parenchyma. In the case of crossing from parenchyma vessels, bacteria are drained to the subarachnoid space through the glymphatic pathway.

Regardless of the site of crossing, meningeal invasion requires the crossing of two cellular barriers: an endothelial monolayer (in the choroid plexus or in the brain parenchyma and/or leptomeninges) followed by an epithelial monolayer (the choroid plexus ependyma, or the leptomeningeal monolayer of the pia mater or of a subarachnoid trabecula).

A limited number of blood-borne bacteria can cross the blood–CNS barriers and cause meningitis. The extracellular pathogens that are involved are usually Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae or, in newborns, group B Streptococcus and Escherichia coli K1.

Regardless of the mechanisms that are used to invade the meninges from the bloodstream, the level of bacteraemia plays a key part in meningeal tropism.

The extracellular bacteria interact directly with the blood–CNS barriers.

N. meningitidis is believed to cross the blood–CNS barriers by interacting with the leptomeninges and/or brain microvessels, and to open intercellular junctions following signals that are induced by the adhesion of bacteria to the endothelial cells.

S. pneumoniae invades the meninges following interaction with the brain microvessels and is believed to transcytose through the endothelial cells following interactions with several host cell receptors.

E. coli is believed to transcytose through endothelial cells, to have several attributes that enable it to adhere to endothelial cells and to induce signaling events that lead to bacterial invasion.
