I've done talks in a large room and asked everybody in the room who's had an antibiotic to raise their hand. There's nobody in the room that hasn't raised their antibiotic. I mean, raised their antibiotic, raised their hand. There is nobody who doesn't raise their hand. Everybody has had an antibiotic. But it's not just antibiotics that disrupt the microbiome.
And again, I think the microbiome disruption is one of the main reasons why I have so many sick kids today, because it is the seed of our health. But there are so many other classes of medications that came out in the 60s, 70s and 80s that also disrupt the microbiome. So that would include birth control pills.

80% of women in the United States have been on birth control pills at one point or another. What did the birth control pills do? There are hormone and steroid medication and there are other classes like asthma, medications are steroid and medications that affect your gut bacteria. It basically causes certain types of microorganisms to thrive.

A lot of the like more fungal type overgrowth can happen when you're on birth control pills. And it really suppresses some of the better, more beneficial microorganisms in your gut. So again, that is then passed along generation to generation, because when a baby is born, the baby receives the mom's microbiome when it's a vaginal birth. The other class of medications would be reflux medications.

And those ones took off in the 90s. Like all of a sudden, boom, out of nowhere, like I was saying before, every baby was put on reflux meds. And I actually was on, I used to work in healthcare consulting

And I worked on a project once where my job was to find families that would be willing to test a reflux medication in their infants, newborns, zero to six months, because there wasn't patent protection or approval for that particular reflux medication.

So I was literally looking for parents whose kids who didn't have reflux, but would be willing to trial, you know, just so they could try it to make sure it was safe. That was to extend the patent life. That was to give patent protection to the pharmaceutical company so that they can continue to make the higher prices on their drug.

What we did by doing that is we created a whole market, a whole new market of infants who could receive reflux medications. Reflux medications totally disrupt the microbiome. They change the pH of your gastrointestinal tract by suppressing the acid that's produced. So think about all those ways I've just mentioned that are talking about just the microbiome.
