point of progena biome was really to validate to use my experience having done clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies to now bring pharmaceutical companies to say listen you guys have been you know putting one product after another but we're never reaching a cure can we be a little bit more precise can we see what these drugs are doing can we see what you know the vaccine's doing?

Can we see what antibiotics are doing? Can we see maybe one antibiotic improves bifidobacteria, maybe another doesn't? What does Tamiflu do? What does Repdesivir do to the microbiome? So this is basically the path that I want to get us into to develop these markers and to say, look, this is what autoimmune

process looks like this is what leaky gut looks like right so if you look at the data and to get back to your question on leaky gut it's exactly we don't you wouldn't know from the literature because unfortunately 90 percent of the literature out there and i read it all day long it's flawed i can't reproduce it if i can't reproduce it It's not valid.

So if somebody writes a paper on, well, this microbe is Parkinson's, and I'm looking at my 50 patients that I've analyzed that have Parkinson's, and I don't find this microbe, we have a problem. Yes.

Well, the first thing I would say is calm down, de-stress. We don't have all the data right now. There's hope in the horizon. However... Beware, and you know, Scott Jackson at the National Institute of Standard, who's gonna be hopefully working with me in the future, you know, says a beautiful sentence, which is customer beware.

And I think the customer needs to beware that these stool samples that they're doing out there are just not there yet. And here's the other problem. When you see Bacteroides vulgaris, what does that mean? Don't panic and think you need to kill things. You know, I see so many things on social media and influencers that are saying, Kill the parasites, kill the parasites. I'm a gastroenterologist.

I look for parasites all day long. If I don't see a parasite, I'm not going to give a patient a cleanse. Because here's the thing, the cleanse will kill the parasite that you may have, but it will kill your microbiome as well. And good luck bringing back your microbiome when you don't even know what it looks like or what it looked like, right? Because it's like a broken glass.

That you have no idea what it looked like. You're trying to rebuild it. So beware. And, you know, there is research. We're coming out with a lot of exciting things, a lot of exciting therapeutics in the microbiome space with autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, hopefully. But in the meantime, calm down. Make sure you're taking good vitamins. You're going into the sun. You're hiking.

You're eating real food. You're... Making sure you know where your food's coming from, your farm, your beef. I like regenerative beef myself, et cetera. If you're vegan and vegan does great for your gut, stick to it. If you're vegetarian and vegetarian is great for your gut, stick to it. If you're carnivore, stick to it.

I think the thing that we're noticing about the microbiome is we're all different. And we all have different diet needs. I was born in Morocco, but I have Greek ancestry, Italian. So my diet is more Italian, Mediterranean food. The person that's from China probably needs to look back at where his ancestors were.
