The Gut Brain Axis 


August 8, 2022 Puzzle Piece

The legendary Fountain of Youth is a magical spring that restores the youth of anyone who drinks or bathes in its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted around the world for thousands of years.
The mythical fountain has never been found; however, new research suggests there’s an easy way to turn back the hands of time for at least one part of the body—your brain.
 
The study, conducted on mice, determined that it was possible to reverse aging in the brain by restoring microbes in the gut.
The research was conducted at APC Microbiome Ireland  at University College Cork and was published in the international scientific journal Nature Aging. The researchers called the study ground-breaking since it opens up a new sphere of study involving the gut-brain axis.
 
The gut-brain axis
The gut–brain axis is the biochemical signaling process that takes place between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. In most scientific studies, the term “gut–brain axis” refers specifically to the role that gut flora plays in this communication. Though some scientists point out this would technically be “microbiota–gut–brain axis” for most people the shorter terminology has come to represent the communication between gut microbes and brain.
 
As people age it becomes more difficult to maintain healthy brain function. Though this fact of life is not new, many countries—like the U.S., India and China—are facing growing elderly populations. With this in mind, researchers have been exploring new therapeutic avenues in the form of microbial-based interventions to slow down brain aging and associated cognitive problems.
The research team was led by Prof John F. Cryan, Vice President for Research & Innovation, University College Cork as well as a principal investigator at APC Microbiome Ireland an SFI Research Centre, also based in University College Cork.
“Previous research published by the APC and other groups internationally has shown that the gut microbiome plays a key role in aging and the aging process. This new research is a potential game changer, as we have established that the microbiome can be harnessed to reverse age-related brain deterioration. We also see evidence of improved learning ability and cognitive function,” said Prof Cryan.
 
Preliminary study
As promising as the research is, the researchers warn it is just preliminary. For now the research has only been conducted on mice. “It is still early days and much more work is needed to see how these findings could be translated in humans,” the researchers wrote.
In addition, the improvements in brain function in the older mice was accomplished by directly transplanting microbes from young animals into their elderly counterparts. It still remains to be seen if the same results can be duplicated by improving the gut microbiome with probiotic supplements and foods.
 
Still, the researchers note there is a growing appreciation of the importance of the microbes in the gut on all aspects of physiology and medicine, and based on earlier gut-brain studies, it is not surprising that preliminary findings suggest that a healthier gut equates to a younger brain.
 
The researchers summarized: “The study opens up possibilities in the future to modulate gut microbiota as a therapeutic target to influence brain health.”

 With that in mind, it’s likely we will one day see an expanded role for probiotics. A role where probiotics are not only a digestion and immune defense nutrient—but also a brain nutrient.

LZR7 - ZX2 - Desktop Class 4 Laser

Now the most powerful cool laser in the world not only has a third more infrared power, it has a 100mW Red laser added for superficial inflammatory conditions.

New features:

  • 33% more cool power = 33% quicker treatment times
  • Red laser – for superficial inflammatory conditions
  • Adjustable power settings = on sensitive areas power output can be decreased during treatment.
  • Joules per centimeter squared setting – Preset Joules per centimeter squared for depths of 0 – 4.5cm for perfect treatment dose = No more guessing

There are more choices in Laser Probes to choose:

  1. Infrared/Red for 6100mW of cool power,
  2. 100W Super Pulsed,
  3. 1500mW Deep Infrared that is more concentrated for joints, toes, feet, hands and trigger points,
  4. 750mW Deep with Acu-tip for auricular therapy, scar tissue etc.



New Laser Probes

New LZR7 laser probes are finally here!
36.2 Watts of cool 100% usable laser power

18,100mW Laser Probe for LZR7 ZX2 Controller

The new 18,100mW (18,000mW of 808nm and 100mW of 658nm) Probe is finally here. The most powerful cool laser just went to a whole new level! If you thought your treatment times were quick with the 6.1W this is the same cool power density in a third of the treatment time or 1/6 the treatment time with 2. These probes run on the LZR7 ZX2 Controller. If you have an older model laser you would like to trade in, please contact us for trade-in values.

The Goal is to get 4 J/Cm2 to the tissue being treated.

This chart shows the different times for different treatment depths to achieve the optimal dose of 4 J/Cm2 with some of our laser probes.
