... and you are...?

A wanker who thinks that eating yoghurt will stop me from another suicide attempt.

Your over simplification is unbecoming.

The difference between an unhealthy gut biome and a healthy one is like the difference between a landfill and a rainforest.

You don't change it back by planting one tree. It takes months of dedication and hard work against one's eating habits which are right up there with life and liberty for some people. It grates right against survival mechanisms (food=life) and the sense of self determination (I'll eat what I want) but gut bacteria don't care, gut bacteria don't give a shit. They live, die, thrive or are overrun by disease causing strains based on what you put inside you for them to eat.

If you eat fresh, unprocessed foods, there is more nutrients to feed a greater variety of organisms and less chemicals to make the environment harsher for the weaker varieties. With crap foods full of preservatives, the only things that are going to flourish are harsh scavengers or opportunistic organisms like Candida yeast which can colonize the body, does jump the blood/brain barrier and does affect our behavior in what we crave (sugars and starches to feed the yeast).

While we are on the subject there are a multitude of cordycep fungi that target multiple specific species of insects and drive them to suicidal behavior to aid spore dispersal. Other organisms can affect us and other animals this way like Toxoplasma Gondii which dries rats to suicidal exposure to cats.
