You get stories like, I can't hang my clothes out. Feces and urine odor comes by and attaches itself it to your clothes.And then people are saying, we're scared to invite neighbors.
the feces and they say oh god there's Finley and his feces again kind of thing you know oh really really collect the feces . So, for whatever reason, I don't know why they listened to me, and they started collecting the feces of three-month-olds and one-year-old kidsbecause when we translate the most timelines, that's what we were thinking would be early time period. Then, we looked at the feces in these in these
or a dog in the house kind of things looking at these risk factors and I call these guys up and say hey guys collect the feces and they say oh god there's Finley and his feces again kind of thing you know oh really really collect the feces . So, for whatever reason, I don't know why they listened to me, and they started collecting the feces of three-month-olds and one-year-old kids
really fun experiment um where basically we took a germfree animal, so no microbes in it whatsoever, and we took the feces from a three-month old kid that we knew actually went on to get asthma, didn't have those four bugs, and we basically put that in this germfree animal. Or we took that same feces and spiked in those four bugs and then put
OK. It's not-- no. to use their feces as a means of communication.
Little does our bather know there is likely more fecal matter in the bottle than in the tub. Fiji water has three times the colony forming units for E. coli, the bacteria found in human feces , than the recommended maximum. As other bumper sticker wisdom reminds us, 'shit happens,' but who'd of thunk it happens in our now strangely nutty tasting premium bottled water?
And I couldn't-- I just couldn't do another person that way, to make them smell that. It is a cesspool that you put feces and urine in, a hole in the ground that you dump toxic waste in. And I've seen dead hogs in them, and stuff like that.
Um so but the neat thing is at least with this disease it cured 94% of these people by simply putting healthy feces from a different person into diseased person. That's fantastic. That means we can actually start to think about treating diseases by changing the microbes. So let's spend a little bit time more time talking about kids
kids at 3 months and one year of age. And what we found is the feces of a three-month-old. So, that's a really itty bitty little baby. Four microbes. If that kid had those microbes, that kid would not go to get asthma. if that kid did not have those microbes, that kid
that those of you who like meat, eggs, and dairy are four times more likely to die from diabetes. The reason people have more bacteria from feces in their kitchen sink than on their toilet seat
And the consequences are really pretty devastating. She will just be leaking urine or feces uncontrollably. And unless it's treated surgically, she'll be ostracized, and her life will be a nightmare.
The largest fishes, like tuna, salmon, many of the other ones, are teetering on the brink of collapse. There aren't many fish left. They're swimming in their own feces . That's why the water's black.
And the elephant keeper and also I believe the hippo keepers, there were a couple of people who got a shit differential because they had to deal with copious amounts of animal feces . So yeah, in the elephant chapter, I had a footnote that had to do with the-- and it's a large amount.
are marginalized trying to get right here, as you can see, to the eye of a stream, a spring in Ethiopia. And these women are ankle-deep in cow feces , in cow urine. They have kids on their back, but this is the only water in Springs, Ethiopia, where all of them lived.
Twice a week is regular if that's what you do every week, but it's certainly not normal. The bowel should move roughly 30 centimeters-- 12 inches-- of feces every day. That's the optimum regularity we should all be striving for.
equipment available-- drones. This video provides just a sample of what I saw during only a few days of filming. You're looking at a lake of toxic feces and urine, the size of four football fields. That's because thousands upon thousands of pigs are inside of these buildings.
transplant capsules that contain the uh bacteria that are meant to have that are meant to be beneficial but without the ick factor of actual feces uh and the most promising one of these pills uh went into phase 2 clinical trials recently and performed really badly they flunked out uh which
They had a sort of a bad reaction to a video with just massive view numbers that-- I think my last friend I tried to convince, he says, why would I want to be on a platform where flaming piles of feces are regularly rewarded? And I didn't have a great rebuttal, but I think hopefully this talk will be one.
two diabetes. So you don't want glucose spikes with your food. So he mapped all these microbes and all these food types. Based on that, he can now analyze your feces for $300 and he will say you have these microbes and based on that you should eat these foods and you have those microbes. So based on that you can eat these. And ironically some people can eat as much ice cream as they want.
with a fecal transfer is a um thin woman who had IBD and she had an obese healthy sister. So obese healthy sister donated her feces to the thin woman, her sister. She got better. Yay. She also got obese.
it polio on the other hand you can't see it uh unless somebody is actually paralyzed you don't know it it's it's in the feces and in the water only one out of a thousand kids who get polio actually have any physical symptoms so it's hard to develop that will so the polio Campaign which is so
And then, I think Paul was like, I'm just going to see how far I can push this. We talk a little bit about recouping where they're trying to figure out how to reuse feces and turn it back into food in 3D print food.
So we're hoping that, to get us started with this section, you'd read a little bit from the book. And they said the slaves were fighting each other, eating feces , and scratching the walls just for air and light.
They give them antibiotics. Well, that treats maybe 20% of this basically what can be a fatal disease. So then someone reasoned, well, if we could somehow replenish the feces in the gut where these microbes live, we might be able to boot it out and it couldn't then cause disease. So they actually did fecal transfers. You can do this two ways. You can nasal gastric tube down here or
the feces from a three-month old kid that we knew actually went on to get asthma, didn't have those four bugs, and we basically put that in this germfree animal. Or we took that same feces and spiked in those four bugs and then put in that animal. And we put those four microbes into the human feces into this mouse, you could actually then block
we basically put that in this germfree animal. Or we took that same feces and spiked in those four bugs and then put in that animal. And we put those four microbes into the human feces into this mouse, you could actually then block mouse asthma. So that's as close as we are now to actually showing that these things are actually playing a role. But
The vegan didn't make the the products associated with aththeroscerosis because they didn't have the bugs in the first place to do students to go to all these meetings around the world, collect their feces , be jetlagged, and come back, right? And the way he did it, this is great. He
Antarctic Treaty protocol. We're capturing and containing all of our feces to take out with us when we leave from Antarctica.
Four guys for almost two months, that's of feces , a lot of stuff to gather.
There's this amazing archaeologist who has done analysis of coprolites, which are basically fossilized feces
It will be soggy. It will be disgusting. You've got to bleed them out. So as soon as she hit the ground, after we shot her-- and feces and urine were pouring out-- then he cut her head off with this big, long knife. Blood was going all the way, 20 feet in the air probably, from her heart.
Or if you imagine an IKEA warehouse-sized desert, we're not going to be putting Bighorn sheep in this thing, but we can simulate Bighorn sheep urine and feces
Yes, you know what I mean? What does it really mean to be a featherless, two legged, linguistically conscious creature born between urine and feces , whose body but one
400, 500 people on board, two portaloos, urine full, waves splash, feces , people sleeping on the deck,
lot in them. There's a 100red trillion microbes in your body on your body. Um 10 trillion in the gut. To put that in perspective, tip your little finger, cut that off. That's about one gram. Let's pretend it's feces . I told you I'm going to be gross here. One gram of feces contains more microbes than all the people in the world. So you can marvel at that tomorrow morning when you go to
feces . So, for whatever reason, I don't know why they listened to me, and they started collecting the feces of three-month-olds and one-year-old kidsbecause when we translate the most timelines, that's what we were thinking would be early time period. Then, we looked at the feces in these in these kids at 3 months and one year of age.
We took a fat mouse and he did a fecal transfer to thin mouse. The thin mouse got fat. He took a thin mouse, did a feal transfer of fat mouse, fat mouse got thin. He took fat people's feces , put in thin mice, they got fat. The microbes seem to be controlling this whole thing. That actually makes sense because the microbes break down a lot of what you eat. And we know that in the
coming along, eating their seeds, and then not digesting them and then letting them come out in their feces .
The largest fishes, like tuna, salmon, many of the other ones, are teetering on the brink of collapse. There aren't many fish left. I don't have time to go into it, but just having that many fish concentrated in one area, huge amounts of feces , lots of
