We're messing up the microbiome. That was the mechanism believed to the end, which how the antibiotics worked to induce the increased risk of these diseases. And how can you look at that and say, yeah, let's ignore that. There's nothing there. We may have Because there's no pill, Marty, to fix it. There's no statin for the microbiome. No pharma company CEO gets rich. But it's amazing now.

The research on the microbiome is blowing me away. And they published this study in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, which is, in our world of research, is a little bit of a flag that no one else would take it.

I think it's probably the most important significant study in the last 10 years. Wow. Okay, tell us about it. So, I mean, the fact that you have all these chronic diseases, I mean... We – all the stuff that is increasing, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, we scratch our heads. People come in and we diagnose them with celiac and they say, doc, how could this possibly happen?

And we come up with some non-answer like, well, it's unknown or – It's genetic. Genetic. No, we have – I mean there's a study here telling us – 300% increased risk when you alter the microbiome with antibiotics early in life. And it's other things, it's C-sections, it's ultra-processed foods, it's high refined carbohydrates. So we have yet to really understand what's going on here.

The rise in colon cancer in young, healthy people, turns out that there's an association with the microbiome. There's an association with polyps and antibiotic use. There's an association with C-section delivery. Being born by C-section and going on to have colon cancer before age 50 was an association just published in JAMA Surgery.

So you have this incredible body of literature emerging on this central organ system that is highly actionable, that we can talk about, that we can study. And it kind of lives in this corner because What specialty is it? And what NIH center is it? Is it infectious diseases, GI, is it oncology, is it primary care, is it functional medicine?
