Isn’t this common knowledge for at least a 200 years, Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur…vaccines and all? Microdosing to boost immunity…

Then centuries later idiots took it too far and started pox and measles party’s. My idiot parents did.

Yes, common knowledge that is actually dangerous misinformation. Debunked: https://humanmicrobiome.info/faq/#is-dirt-good-for-your-microbiome

I don’t think it compares well to vaccines.

  • Dirt has pathogens that are only harmful.

Stopped there. Because that’s how your immune system learns.

And the bit with heavy metals is bull. Just don’t let them eat a ton of dirt of vineyards (copper).

@MonkderVierte @MaximilianKohler You should’ve read the rest of the page then like the first one xdd
Dirt is contaminated by harmful heavy metals and other toxic pollutants
The known beneficial microbes are the host-native ones that are passed down generationally via vaginal birth and breastfeeding. Microbes that you pick up from the environment are not the same and are more likely to be harmful.
Antibiotics are one of the primary things you want to avoid if you’re worried about your microbiome

You may be suffering from heavy metal poisoning.

Stopped there. Because that’s how your immune system learns.

“I chose to stay ignorant and re-state misinformation that you debunked”

And the bit with heavy metals is bull.

It cites the CDC, so you should contact the CDC and tell them to stop spreading “bull”.

This article is debunking the idea that there are probiotic benefits to eating dirt, which isn’t what we’re talking about at all. We don’t care about the beneficial bacteria, they don’t build your immune system, they’re irrelevant. It states right at the beginning that there are harmful pathogens in dirt, which is exactly the point. Those harmful pathogens are literally the only thing that can build the immune system.

Stop spreading misinformation. Pretty much everything you just said is wrong.

What you’re doing harms people. You should stop.

That’s not a source, it’s your own site.

That’s not how sources work. You should read about how to vet sources for accuracy before making foolish statements like that.
