How beneficial bacteria can help counter breast cancer and improve skin and emotional health.

"Ladies with breast cancer have much more in the way of fecal microbes [than those without breast cancer]," says cardiologist and leading voice on gut health Dr. William Davis.

An NIH-funded study in Ghana is one of a number that show a link between fecal microbes and breast cancer.

The ascension of fecal microbes from the colon, which is structured to house them, and into the small intestine, which is not, is known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

The toxic compounds released by trillions of fecal microbes—as they die at a rapid pace–enter the bloodstream, says Dr. Davis.

This endotoxemia is higher in women with breast cancer, he adds.
How could endotoxemia and the abnormal processing of estrogen that stems from SIBO raise breast cancer risk?

Dr. Davis returns to Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to reveal the broad impact of a disrupted microbiome—from raising cancer risk to causing wrinkles and obesity—and to pinpoint the microbes that can restore balance.

The microbiome—spanning the nasal cavities, mouth, respiratory, reproductive, urinary, and digestive systems—includes trillions of fungi, bacteria, and other microbes. Enough of the good bacteria is needed to keep SIBO in check, says Dr. Davis.

"Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus gasseri take up residence [in the small intestine] and then produce bacteriocins—natural antibiotics effective against fecal microbes," he says.
