Microbiome and Dysbiosis Video #1: Course Introduction and Clinical Impact of Microbial Molecules
This video introduces terminology and concepts relevant to this very important topic of Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis in Clinical Disease.
Welcome: This is the introduction to the video course. As you know from the historical overview of the development of this material (linked) and also from the brief account of my personal experience with fibromyalgia-dysbiosis, the initial few videos were made under difficult circumstances in the quest for studio silence and competent soundproofing; in the last few moments at the conclusion of this video you might be able to barely hear a train passing by…
