Dr. Sabine Hazan on gut biome



Dr. Sabine Hazan's website, Progenabiome

She's referenced Dr. Thomas Borody.  whom she calls the pioneer of fecal transplant.   

Fecal transplant is the process of taking fecal matter from a health donor to one who is ill.  And then little by little, 

In your microbiome, you have trillions and trillions of microbes, most of which are bacteria.  A small minority are viruses and parasites.  When you look at your feces in the toilet, what you're actually looking at are trillions and trillions of bugs.  Each one of these bugs is interconnected with another bug to do something.  In other words, you cannot get rid of one group of microbes because it supports another group of microbes.  So, it's all intertwined, and when you start looking at the depth of the biome, at the species, you start seeing how every microbe is instrumental and so important and its diversity.  The more diverse the microbiome is the healthier the person is.  Non-diversity is disease.  So, diversity is so important . . . it's the Ruminococcus with the Bacillus bacteria with the bacteroides, with the bifudobacterium, with the lactobacillus.  All of it together and they're all living together in a balance and it's amazing to see that. 

As she was looking at the SARS-Co-2 in her lab, she was also looking at the different strains or mutations of the virus.
