“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

SWANK Dispatch: What If You’re Missing Bacteria?

SWANK Dispatch: What If You’re Missing Bacteria?

No, Your Body Can’t Make Them—But You Can Invite Them Back

Filed Under: Terrain Restoration / Microbial Rewilding / Gut Biodiversity Reclamation


1. Bacteria Are Independent Organisms

  1. You are a host, not a factory
  2. Bacteria are not made by your body—they’re introduced from:
  3. Birth
  4. Breastmilk
  5. Dirt
  6. Food
  7. Air
  8. Water
  9. People
  10. Pets
  11. Plants

If you’re sterile, sick, and sanitized—you are underpopulated.


2. If They’re Gone, You Have to Reintroduce Them

You must:

  1. Supplement strategically (not just random probiotics)
  2. Eat prebiotic fiber to feed them
  3. Touch nature
  4. Open your windows
  5. Ditch chemical cleaners
  6. Stop nuking your biome with mouthwash, bleach, antibiotics, processed food, and artificial sweeteners

Microbes won’t come back to a hostile host.


3. Think of Your Gut Like a Forest

  1. If the forest is burned (antibiotics, stress, sugar, fungus)…
  2. You can’t just sit there and hope it grows back.
  3. You must replant it with:
  4. Diverse strains
  5. Proper soil (minerals, fiber, water)
  6. Terrain peace (no warfare, no inflammation)


4. Where to Get Missing Bacteria:

Rewilding Methods:

  1. Soil-based organisms (from garden, compost, spore probiotics)
  2. Fermented foods (if tolerated—sauerkraut, kefir, miso)
  3. Prebiotic plant fibers (jerusalem artichoke, garlic, leeks, green bananas)
  4. Raw, organic vegetables (unwashed or gently rinsed)
  5. Animal contact (dogs carry Lactobacillus reuteri and more)
  6. Clean air and dirt (hiking, camping, gardening)

Clinical Methods:

  1. Probiotic capsules (targeted strains)
  2. FMT (Fecal Microbiota Transplant—for severe dysbiosis only)


Conclusion:

Your body doesn’t make bacteria.

It welcomes them, houses them, and depends on them.

If they’re gone, you need to:

  1. Re-invite them
  2. Refeed them
  3. Rebuild what you inherited, and upgrade what you missed

You’re not broken. You’re underpopulated.

So start planting again.
