I've read this book. Now is the time, I recommend this book for this circumstance.

Brilliant work Dr. Martin J Blaser. Thank you for your extraordinary work. I'm looking forward to reading your book. JP

I learnt a lot. Thanks

i just fineshed the second chapter . its good one till now .

I don't think that you can relate the Obesity and diabetes epidemic entirely to change in the microbiome as a result of antibiotic use. Don't you think that the foods that we are eating, and the frequency of our meals also influences the situation ? Graham Edwards, West Sussex, UK

Good thinking, questioning everything. The project members came to the same thought - initially. The book reveals how they found out. As to diabetes, there are about 12 things that can put you in danger: Depite a healthy diet I did acquired T2D. The GPs didn't know why. I had to find out myself. My causations were 5-6 hours sleep /day for over a decade and sitting at a computer from morning to night without enough walking or other excercise. My weight has been 75 kg all my life.

@@grahamedwards6824 Graham, I wouldn't go THAT far ("All cause.."). As to your original question you are right, of course, WHAT you eat and HOW you eat (no rush, no gobbling down) is important. With or without antibiotica. Frequency and timing are irrelevant if you don't overindulge consistently.

This book, about the results of The Genome Project, helped me to get rid of Type-2-Diabetis within a few years. It launched my continuing interest in microbiology and I advised a colleague successfully how to lose weight without sacrifices in the menu. Gladly, in this field I now know more than the professonials in my GP surgery. I can much better discuss serious issues with them or talk convincingly back when needed. If the infamous Robert Lustig had read it, he would not have come up with his erroneous theory of the sugar/fat culprits (which sounds quite credible). Actually not true, he would have recognised his error had he checked production, import and consumption figures relating tor those culprits (in AUS, U.K. & USA). But hey, when you're on a roll why admit one was wrong?

brilliant powerpoint! I might purchase the book and learn more about it.

Two questions: 1. Do vaccines harm the microbiome? 2. Should phages be studied more as an alternative to antibiotics?

Louise Slaughter... Great name for someone working with farmers.

Antibiotics have been in use since the 1940s but the obesity epidemic really started to be evident since the 1980s. During the 1980s there have been significant changes in our diet with increasing intake of artificial sweeteners and food preservatives like sodium benzoate. Could these also be impacting negatively on our microbiome ?. This was a very interesting and thought provoking presentation but I think that antibiotics are not the only factor involved. The evidence given in this presentation clearly show that antibiotics are significantly affecting the microbiome but I think that another factor or factors introduced sometime around the 1980s may be acting synergistically amplifying these effects on the microbiome. During the 1960s antibiotics were regularly prescribed but childhood obesity was not deemed to be a significant problem then or in the 1970s. Dietary changes really kicked in during the 1980's and I think these may also be important in conjunction with antibiotic use in altering the microbiome. Thanks for this really interesting presentation.

Interesting you should bring up diet and artificial sweeteners. There has been an ongoing discussion (more of an argument, really) in my family, about a friend who lost almost 300 pounds in like 4 years by switching to a diet consisting mostly of tofu and diet Coke, who ended up dying of MS when no one else in her family history suffered from the disease. It just so happens that she was also a firm believer in taking a pill for just about everything; many of which were antibiotics, but none of us gave that much thought at the time. Not a scientific study by any means (hence the argument), but it corresponds to much of what I've been hearing lately from various sources; some of which are even _legitimate_.

honestly I think it's the pushed carbohydrate agenda by the industry. There was a hypothesis that a cholesterol and saturated fats are bad for us - it was proven wrong later but the industry jumped on the train and tried to market everything they could - from grains/cereals/agriculture products/vegetable/seed oils. It is knows that the real cause of diabetes are the carbohydrates, starches and sugar (even in fruit if in excessive amounts like i.e. in a vegan diet). The industry had the money for heavy advertising and pharma indoctrinated doctors to spread the lie even if it is proven scientifically wrong. The doctors don't necessarily look into science, only some do. The scientists just don't have the money to inform public on a big scale like big industries have (agrar, food and pharma) + they are dependent on funding. Look up the channel low carb down under. Low/zero carb seems to be the way healthier diet for us. But the industry pushed their high carb agenda on us.

GMO use definitely started in the 80s. And it was proven in the 70s or 80s that bacterial RESISTANCE was caused by PESTICIDE AND HERBICIDES.

The HFD / STAT comparison suggests that you should be looking for a particular bacteria(um) which either occurs at higher concentrations in females, or is less affected by sex hormone. *Note the STAT gain in lean mass for males, suggesting testosterone as a regulator.

The Chinese translation of Miss Microbes has been on shelf the same month of this video in China.

I want to raise a few questions from the video if the tribe that was found have higher immunity due to the fact the microbes haven't been disturbed by antibiotics then how would there body cells react towards the current Coronavirus? could it be that there microbiota is stronger then ours and ideally do they possess the antibodies?

Read the book and you get a rough idea where to start. After that, you could follow up 'progress reports' from publications by Tim Spector (UK-Epidemiologist) and Ed Yong. Or an easier one: Alanna Collen - 10% Human. The first two (and others) also have various contributions on KZread.
