Document Summary
This serotonin does not pass the blood-brain barrier. Main pathway from stomach to brain and back to brain. Bacteria activate serotonin and the brain in other ways. Microbiota, fungi and other things are present in gut which do things. There is a balance that has formed with certain gut bacteria that is good for you. E. coli is outside but also in your gut. At the levels it is present in your gut, it is good for you. When the balance of bad guys exceeds the good guys, it is bad for you. Cannot quantify how much is too much and how much becomes bad. Observe what arises under these conditions: are sickly. Give them specific bacteria: they become healthy. May be beneficial to strengthens the existing bacteria rather than adding new because it is highly unlikely you will know which are present. If a person is getting chemo, immune system is working harder in the morning.
