(3,724 posts)At the last yearly corporate get together before covid, the bio-tech company I worked for had announced they were going to invest 2.5 billion dollars over the next 5 years between creating and integrating noninvasive gut biome testing instrumentation for their point of care product and for their pharma division to begin research beyond just treating the symptoms of a messed up gut biome but also for a cure from transplanting to artificially reconstituting the gut biome within the body. Thats a chunk of change to commit.
I am just an IT guy but Im a HUGE believer in the importance of that shit no pun intended. The second largest mass of neurons in our body is working right there in our gut along with the symbiotic critters, most of which in a healthy gut biome have been there since our mothers gave them to us at birth, to keep our bodies to keep us balanced, and more importantly free from the bad critters.
My whole life I use antiseptics externally and antibiotics internally only if there is a real need.
