0:00.0	Dr. Zach Bush, thank you for being here.
0:02.0	Pleasure to be with you again here.
0:05.0	Thank you for having me on.
0:06.0	Dr. Bush, what is a thought and what are the effects of these thoughts on our physiology?
0:15.0	A thought is a pattern recognition that comes from a data stream that is primarily, in fact, really wholly
0:24.8	coming from non-human sources.
0:27.0	So the neurology of the human has recently taken a universal leap in understanding where
0:35.0	thoughts come from through microscopy that's being done in living gut
0:40.3	membranes for the first time. And the new technology is allowing microscopes to be able to
0:48.3	piece together the structure function of the neurology of the gut lining, we assumed that everything in the human body must dwell behind the tight junctions, behind this barrier of the skin and gut, which create our unified experience with the outside world. And this microscopy has recently revealed that, in fact, there's billions of neurons that
1:16.3	poke their nose out through the mucosal membrane of the gut lining to interface directly
1:22.9	with the microbial life there.
1:25.8	What we are now appreciating is that there's some tens of thousands of species, bacteria,
1:31.6	fungi, protozoa, parasites that are interacting directly with the surface of nerves and putting
1:38.7	information into those afferent nerves that then channel that directly to the brain gives the data set that our brain
1:47.0	then works with. And so the CPU chip or central processing unit of the human brain is an
1:54.0	extraordinary quantum computer that's taking in enormous amounts of data from billions of neurons.
2:00.0	So you could have trillions of data points per millisecond
2:03.6	coming into the human brain that then gives us the experience of a thought.
2:08.6	How does a thought affect our physiology?
2:13.6	I was having a moment just a couple nights ago.
2:16.6	I had actually drank a little bit too much
