And 100% of these people have leaky gut and an intestinal dysbiosis, an imbalance of their microbiome. This works. And like I say, I'm a slow learner. Hippocrates clearly knew this 2,500 years ago. He didn't have the Human Microbiome Project to help him out. But he knew this intuitively and I spent the last 25 years trying to figure out how he knew it.

I'll give you a striking example. One of my friends through the years is Dr. Mark Hyman. And Mark and I were talking just a little bit ago. He has a daughter who's a third-year medical student at a very prestigious university. And in her third year, and there are four years of medical school, she has not had a course on the microbiome, which just flabbergasts him and me.

And yet that if we could only give credence to what we now know about the influence of the microbiome, what the shop knew well over almost 200 years ago now, that it's this, the microbiome in our intestines and in our mouth and in our skin, which I call the holobiome, is akin to a tropical rainforest.

And there's all these interconnected species that are dependent on each other, bad guys, good guys, but they're all in perfect balance. And Machamp, was arguing with Pasteur that germs per se were not bad or good it was when the balance of this tropical rainforest or as he called the terrain became in balance that's when a disease or an infection started and unfortunately Pasteur was

much better public speaker. Stuart was discovered that it was bacterial contamination of the wine, grapes being fermented in wine by yeast that caused it to go bad. And obviously he was a big hit with the King of France finding that out. So he was elevated to a great place of honor and Béchamp was relegated to the obscurity.

But as I write about in the book, and I've read every book about both of them, many of the books cite that on his deathbed, Pasteur called Béchamp and his colleague Bernard to his bedside. And he said, you're right. It was the terrain. I hope this story is true because it sure makes sense. But so again, we don't even teach this in medical schools. I'll give you a great story.

I was just reading today. So one of my feeds. about the new exciting research into the treatment of IBS and all sort of colitis and what I do every day. And the article was going on and on about this poor young lady who was on steroids and other immune suppressing drugs. And her mother was not happy with the fact that she was on this and
