“if you think you’re only human, you’d better think again…Growing research into the human microbiome—also known as the “other human genome”—shows that the trillions of tiny bugs that live in your gut could hold the keys to new treatments for conditions ranging from obesity and Chron’s disease to allergies and asthma.— The microbiome is actually our first line of defense. When you kill it of with antibiotics, you really are doing your own system a disservice.— Instead of declaring war, we need to think in the context of ecosystems that make up our bodies. Figuring out how to encourage good microbes while eliminating the bad will be of increasing importance.”
