RE: New Study Suggests Changing Gut Bacteria Could Treat Autism
Well this is an interesting result, and its good that the authors recognize the limitations of their study. Certainly these results warrant a followup study and it looks like the planned follow up will be performed with much more significant levels of scientific rigor. Thanks for posting this, it would be wonderful if changes to the microbiome could help prevent/treat ASD.
Yes and even if not, I suspect it could have relevance to a lot of other disorders.
I find microbiome studies to be very exciting personally. I think that we just might find a lot more relevance to our bodies there, then it might have originally seemed.
Yes I think you are right. One of my microbiology tutors at medical school used to say something to the effect that we have two genomes the human one and the bacterial one and they are both important to our well being. This was years before the microbiome became such a hot topic.
