Here is an orientation to "Human Microbiome and Dysbiosis in Clinical Disease"
As you all know, dysbiosis plays an important role in nearly all diseases that we deal with in clinical practice, and it was also a major issue in my own “health journey” starting when I was 25 years old which I described in connection with fibromyalgia-like conditions, as well as in a separate article provided below:
In the page below, I provide the listing of available videos, plus a list of related articles, some of which include the original PDF reprints. For other details and video samples (mostly related to Autism), see the Microbiome/Dysbiosis course index page linked in the box at the bottom of this page. Remember that the first video (plus a shorter and more casual video: Gut Dysbiosis 10.6, linked below) is free for everyone:
