Missing Microbes

Book •
Martin Blazer's "Missing Microbes" explores the connection between the rise of chronic diseases and the widespread use of antibiotics.

The book argues that the overuse of antibiotics, both in medicine and animal agriculture, has disrupted the human microbiome, leading to various health problems.

Blazer presents evidence suggesting that a balanced microbiome is crucial for overall health and well-being.

He discusses the role of gut bacteria in various bodily functions and how their disruption can contribute to chronic illnesses.

The book advocates for a more cautious and targeted approach to antibiotic use to preserve the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
