All this and more about the role of the microbiome in our health and sanity is (careful here) flowing out of the science/medicine community. It is, IMHO, a monster discovery zone, clearly one of the most important areas of scientific pursuit, right up there with the findings coming from the Large Hadron Collider, NASA, LIGO, Altacama, et al, and will have more impact on you and me per
