is driving the passengers are driving the bus and they're driving the bus for a really good reason because they've had a lot of experience with living and again i make the argument that they are sentient beings they see not with eyes like we see but they can read the barcodes on neighboring bacteria. We've known this for many years. It's called quorum sensing. They know who's in the house.

I'll give you an example. There's a keystone species in our gut that's called Ackermansia mucinophilia, and

there's a company that makes a probiotic acromantia that is a living bacteria and I'm a big fan of them they're called pendulum but there are also companies that make dead acromantia in other words they're not living what's really interesting is swallowing live acromantia we has measurable effects but swallowing dead acromantia has measurable effects but beneficial effects

And you go, well, what the heck? How could that be? Well, they carry messages. I had a chapter in Gut Check, my current book, that dead men tell no tales, but dead bacteria do. And so we're beginning, we're getting come to grips with what seems basically just incredibly impossible. But final, I have a Sanskrit poem Buddhist scholar is one of my patients.

And we were discussing this one day about Hippocrates and gut health and all disease comes from the gut. And he says, I'll be back. And he comes back. He says, I've read all the Buddha's sayings in Sanskrit. He said, do you know what Buddha said? Buddha was a contemporary of Hippocrates. He said, enlightenment comes from the intestines.

And I'm going, son of a gun, how did these, these great ancient wisdom, I don't know where the bacteria telling them about this, but we have to give these guys a little more respect.

Yeah, I was first enlightened about this a few books ago. There was a fascinating... Chinese study where they took volunteers and they put them on a 14-day water fast. All they got was water, which is a long time. And half the group were given 100 calories of prebiotic fiber. Now, we can't absorb this prebiotic fiber. We can't digest it. So we can't get 100 calories from it.
