Looking for Clues About How Colorectal Cancer Develops
By Sharon Rosen
Our bodies are home to around 100 trillion microbes, mostly bacteria, inside and out. Within the human body, microbial genes outnumber human genes 100 to 1. This is the microbiome — and we couldn’t live without it. There are diverse, complex communities of microbes in the intestines, in the mouth, on the skin and elsewhere, living […]

Microbiome Biomarker Found that Triggers Rheumatoid Arthritis
By Jeff Briggs

The Missing Link to Rheumatoid Arthritis Might be in Your Gut Microbiome
By Center for Individualized Medicine
It might be a gut feeling. You could call it a gut reaction. The Chicago Tribune did when reporting on a possible link between “the trillions of microbes living and working” inside our digestive systems and rheumatoid arthritis, a “mysterious and painful autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints.” While the paper reports that a smoking gun […]
