Dr. Sabine Hazan: Gutbacteria missing in Covid patients

Dr. Sabine Hazan: “I kept collecting stool samples of patients and noticed that patients with severe Covid had a certain bacteria that was missing compared to people that were highly exposed to Covid, but never got Covid. That bacteria is called Bifidobacteria.

Bifidobacteria is an important and key microbe for immunity. It represents your trillion dollar industry of probiotics.
It is present in newborns, this is why newborns did not get a problem from Covid at the beginning, and it is absent in old people. The process of aging is a loss of Bifidobacteria.

We published a paper: The lost microbes of Covid-19, it took 8 months to publish it. If you study the Bifidobacteria like I did, you will notice that vitamin C actually increases Bifidobacteria. This is why vitamin C is important when you deal with viruses.
We published data where we showed that if we give vitamin C to patients, it increased the Bifidobacteria.

Ivermectin was also an interesting drug, because we noticed that Ivermectin also increased the Bifidobacteria within 24 hours of taking it. Why ivermectin? If you look at what ivermectin is, it is a fermented product of a bacteria that is similar to Bifidobacteria. In fact they’re in the same group of microbes. They live like sisters and brothers in the microbiome.

I knew that ivermectin increased Bifidobacteria, but I said: “I can’t go out there and publish that, it is going to be too controversial.” So I published a hypothesis of what I was observing on the front line treating patients with Covid, noticing that their oxygen saturation that was increasing from Ivermectin was probably increased Bifidobacteria from Ivermectin.
The hypothesis on ivermectin was the most read hypothesis in the pandemic and was retracted after 8 months of its publishing.

When we cannot make a hypothesis, there is no science.”
