Hi Neil,
Thanks for your insight on this. Research being done on the microbiome is connecting more diseases to an out of balance microbiome in the gut. At some point, I expect a standard physical exam will include checking the health of ones microbiome in addition to a CBC and Chem panel. Addressing the gut dysbiosis, before a disease process takes hold, makes sense.
There's a connection to the H.Pylori infection and MDS. If I can find the study, I'll post it.
Take care,
Marlene
